HAMMERSTAEDT, J., Die Orakelkritik des Kynikers Oenomaus. Athenäum, Frankfurt am Main, 1988. 328p. Hard bound. Series: Beiträge zur klassischen Philologie, Band 188. 'Hammerstaedt’s monograph presents the sixteen surviving fragments of Oenomaus’ ‘goeton phora’ (…) and one further unassigned fragment from Julian, together with extensive commentary, four appendixes on particular textual difficulties, bibliography, list of variant readings, concordance of oracles, and indexes of quotations and proper names. There is much here to be welcomed. H. and his publishers have performed a real service in making the fragments of Oenomaus available in an accessible form (…). Good use has been made of editorial work on Eusebius to present the text of the fragments in a more informative way than has been done before. And the notes too contain much useful matter: H. has worked his way very carefully through the wording and thought of the fragments, and in many places succeeds in correcting lax or mistaken interpretations on the part of his predecessors; his discussion of textual problems are full if not always decisive; he is assiduous in his collection of parallel passages; and he has made good use of recent work on Delphic and other oracles. It is all the more to be regretted that the overall impression given is that of a study released prematurely, and therefore failing to be as useful or as elegant as it could have been.’ (M.B. TRAPP in The classical Review (New Series), 1990, pp.18-19). € 20.00 (Antiquarian)

HAMMOND, N.G.L., The Genius of Alexander the Great. University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, 1997. XIII,220p. Bound wrps. Nice copy. 'Written for the general reader, this book is a distillation of Hammond's prior scholarship on Macedonia and Alexander.1 Both professional and lay audiences remain fascinated by Alexander the Great. Books and articles appear at a dizzy pace, and exhibitions, even of small scope, draw a public eager to understand the magnitude of his conquests and accomplishments. Hammond's approach to his subject is that of the influence of great men on the course of history. It is an approach that has generally fallen out of intellectual currency whereas a contextual approach is more accepted. An underlying assumption in this account is that by reason and deduction one may arrive at the 'truth' about Alexander.'

HAMOEN, J.H., Het schip der zotten. Een theologisch-culturele plaatsbepaling van de theoloog August Henkels (1906-1975) toegespitst op zijn verhouding tot de drukker Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman (1882-1945) en de schrijver Simon Vestdijk (1898-1971). Skandalon, Vught, 2010. 342p. Paperback. Dit boek is een studie naar leven en werk van ds. August Henkels (1906-1975), een bevlogen en eigenzinnig theoloog, die zich met grote vasthoudendheid betrokken voelde bij het lot van de joodse gemeenschap. Hij had vele vrienden onder schrijvers en beeldende kunstenaars, waaronder Vestdijk, Werkman en prof. G. van der Leeuw. De werkzaamheden van Henkels waren daarmee een bijzonder voorbeeld van de ontmoeting tussen kerk en cultuur. Henkels was hervormd predikant in Uitwijk-Waardhuizen, Winschoten, Heerenveen en Heemstede. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog richtte hij uitgeverij De Blauwe Schuit op om via kleine uitgaven geestverwanten te bemoedigen. Deze uitgaven werden gedrukt door de Groninger drukker en kunstenaar Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman (1882-1945). Hun samenwerking leidde tot de publicatie door De Blauwe Schuit van de Chassidische Legenden, druksels waarmee Werkman wereldberoemd werd en waarvan er in dit boek zeven zijn opgenomen. Henkels leerde schrijver Simon Vestdijk (1898-1971) kennen tijdens een gijzeling door de nazi’s. Zij raakten bevriend en disputeerden in de vorm van balladen en sonnetten over het geloof. Na de oorlog wilde hij via zijn werk bij de radio een bijdrage leveren aan de opbouw van de Nederlandse samenleving. (Publisher's information). € 18.00 (Antiquarian)
