SAMONS, L.J., Pericles and the Conquest of History. A Policial Biography. Cambridge University Press, n.p., 2016. 1st ed. XVI,329p. ills.(maps). Paperback. Samons, like Thucydides, asks uncomfortable questions and seeks uncompromising answers. His motive, like Thucydides', is an honest desire to reach a deeper and 'truer' understanding of what made Pericles the politician he was, what drove him to pursue the policies he did, and what consequences this had for Athens, the Greek world, and far beyond. We may not always agree with Samons but we should not refuse his challenge to rethink radically what we took for granted.' (KURT RAAFLAUB, Braun University, USA). € 26.00 (New)

SAMSARIS, D.C., Les Thraces dans l'Empire Romain d'Orient. (Le territoire de la Grèce actuelle). Etude ethno-demographique, sociale, prosopographicque et anthroponymique. Private Presses, jannina, 1993. 373p.Offset print. Wireless. With author's dedication on title page. (Rare). ‘Le travail de D.C. Samsaris contribue sans conteste à mieux faire connaître l’importance - trop souvent - sous-estimée - de l’élément thrace dans la vie grecque. Son intérêt est d’autant plus grand qu’il débouche sur l’approfondissement de deux phénomènes connexes: l’hellénisation des Thraces ‘extra fines Thraciae Moesiaeque’ et la romanisation des Thraces dans la colonie romaine de Philippes. (…) Il manque enfin une synthèse finale exposant les résultats ultimes de l’enquête.’ (BRUNO ROCHETTE in Revue belge de philologie et d’histoire, 1995, p.234).

SAMUELS, M.L., Linguistic Evolution. With special reference to English. Cambridge University Press, London / New York, 1972. IX,203p. Sewn. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper.Professor Samuels presents a comprehensive explanation of the reasons for linguistic change, applying his theory in particular to the history of English. He assesses and mediates between the conflicting dogmas of different schools of linguistics, and offers an alternative theory of linguistic change which is basically simple but has the scope to cover any type of change. (Editor's information). 'Michael Samuels's neat and careful monograph marks a considerable advance on the presentations of other distinguished scholars inasmuch as it is better balanced and more readable. It is better balanced because it observes a right proportion between abstract and concrete, between scientific description and accompanying exemplification. It is more readable and more easily assimilable because its author takes care to explain technical terms accurately and unobtrusively on their first appearance and to list them with complete references in an exceptionally well-organized subject index - a model of its kind … The author illustrates freely from the classical languages, from the languages of Western Europe with their long recorded histories, and, above all, from the dialects of late Middle English, on which he is probably unrivalled as an authority … this book bears the hallmark of excellence. It embodies the findings of many years of patient research.' (The Times Literary Supplement). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 13.50 (Antiquarian)
