ROHMER, C., Valeurs et Paraboles. Une lecture du discours en Mathieu 13, 1-53. Gabalda, Pendé, 2014. 661p. Paperback. Tail spine slightly damaged. Lower corner front cover slightly dog's eared. Series: Études Bibliques, Nouvelle série. No.66. On the basis of Vincent Jouve’s so-called value-effect method of analysis, Céline Rohmer argues that the discourse in parables reported in Matthiew 13 refers to values that pre-exist to the text and naturally orient the way in which it is read. Carried by the characters, these values appear in particular in the narrative construction of their look, language, work and ethics. (Publisher's information). € 75.00 (Antiquarian)

Pages slightly yellowed due to paper quality. Series: Lectio Divina, 116. ‘It is the conviction of Rolland that it is impossible to account for the present Synoptic Gospels without appealing to several non extant pre-Synoptic sources. But ‘Les premiers évangiles is not only a critique of the simpler solutions to the Synoptic problem; it offers a detailed reconstruction of those non extant documents, including their provenance, date and theology. (…) The potential value of this new assessment of the Synoptic problem is unfortunately vitiated by its lack of consideration of the last twenty years of literature on the problem and by the invocation of weak and even specious arguments in favour of the author’s proposed primitive gospels.’ (JOHN S. KLOPPENBORG, in The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 1985, pp.744-745). € 38.00 (Antiquarian)

ROMANO, Cecilia, Responsioni libere nei canti di Aristofane. Edizioni dell'Ateneo, Roma, 1992. 144p. Soft cover. Front cover slightly creased. Series: Studi di Metrica Classica, 8.'Metre has long occupied an important and honourable position within Italian scholarship, and Romano continues the tradition of her one-time mentors Bruno Gentili and Franca Persuino with a useful volume on free responsion in the lyrics of Aristophanes. (...) R.'s aim is to investigate the responsion between strophe and antistrophe, which ancient writers on metre postulate should be exact. The reality of Aristophanes' plays on the other hand shows numerous instances of what is at times a radical departure from this theoretical norm, and R. Questions whether such breaches should be interpreted as the result of the playwright's deliberate intention, or whether they stem simply from corruption in the manuscript tradition, as suggested by Paul Maas. (...) What R. does achieve is to go beyond recognition to an analysis of actual function.' (S. IRELAND in The Classical Review (New Series), 1993, p.420).
