SAINT-DENIS, E. de, Le rôle de la mer dans la poésie latine. Klincksieck, Paris, 1935. 546p. Sewn. Carton cover. Uncut. Edges a little bit stained. (Rare). ‘The author gives a very full account of the sea and things marine or nautical as treated by all the Roman poets from Plautus and Ennius to Statius and Silius Italicus. Often all the terms used by a single poet are collected, and classified e.g. into ‘expressions banales’ or ‘créations vigoureuses’. Similarly the descriptions of storms , of embarcations, of landings, and of nautical manoeuvres, and the imagery drawn from the sea, are collected as each poet is treated. Naturally this material, with the interesting conclusions drawn from it, means a big book; and this ‘mega biblion’ might have seemed a ‘mega kakon’, were it not for the excellent analytical table of contents (14 pages long) which enables the reader to pick and choose what to read. Constant touch is kept with history. In their proper places are treated the emergence of Rome as a naval power, the development of Baiae and similar places as centres of fashion, and the naval policy of Augustus. The author does not fail to enquire how each poet observed the sea. (…) The final question is that of the Romans’ love of the sea; their poetry of the sea contained much that was borrowed but also much that was original, as the author abundantly shows. Had they then the sea in their blood? The answer is no. Their love was an acquired one. (…) The Roman poets excel in the sea-scenes which can be watched from the shore.’ (ARNOLD M. DUFF in The Classical Review, 1936, p.179). € 175.00 (Antiquarian)

'Both ancient and modern critics have been fully aware of the many deviations from Attic usage to be found in Plato. the usual assumption has been that Plato made use of such departures from normal Attic, often in imitation of epic or tragic style, in order to lend wherever appropriate a poetic coloration to his dialogues. On the contrary Sakalis is convinced that while Plato often writes as a poet, he frequently drew upon Ionic sources, including Herodotus, the early philosophers, and the Hippocratic corpus, and this for other than poetic effect, sometimes because these words and phrases had entered current speech.'

Dust wrps slightly jammed to upper edge front cover. Initials stamp, date and personal library mark on free endpaper. Else fine. (Rare). “There is a fair amount of ancient evidence for war wounds, and Christine Salazar’s study, which aims to shed light both on the treatment of wounds in medical practice and on the 'treatment' of the wounded in literature, gathers and discusses much of it (…). She begins by setting out systematically, in two chapters, the evidence from medical writers on the kinds of wounds and possible complications a physician might encounter, and the range of surgical and pharmacological procedures open to him. (…) The evidence sited is predominantly of Roman Imperial date; Hippocratic treatises are included (…). Two particularly interesting chapters proceed to investigate the development of medical services in ancient armies (…), the considerable spread of at least some basic medical knowledge among payment, and the nature of ancient medical terminology. The rôle of wounds in literature is the subject of the next four chapters, which between them discuss `wounding`as a code. (…) A chapter bridging the chronological gap between Homer and Alexander provides a good survey of the well-known debate what constitutes a 'beautiful death', but fails to link this at all closely with attitude to the wounded. (…) 'The Treatment of War Wounds' (…) manages to make so many of its parts surprisingly interesting.” (HANS VAN WEES in The Classical Review (New Series), 2001, pp.308-310). € 350.00 (Antiquarian)
