KONSTAN, D., Before Forgiveness. The Origins of a Moral Idea. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 2013. Reprint 1st paperback ed. XIII,192p. Paperback. 'Konstan’s book is one of those studies that increases the reader’s puzzlement and thus makes one seriously reflect on the subject-matter in question. As for the search for the passages disproving Konstan’s claim, it soon becomes clear that Konstan has already gone about considering almost every instance of “forgiveness” or reconciliation in classical literature. (...) Konstan’s book is an indispensable survey for anyone dealing with ancient ethics, not least because of the wide range of texts it introduces and discusses. It can be seen as both an interesting and challenging contribution to contemporary discussion of the ancient inspiration for modern forms of virtue ethics.'

HARRISON, C. H., C. HUMFRESS, and I. SANDWELL, (eds.), Being Christian in Late Antiquity. A Festschrift for Gillian Clark. Oxford University Press, 2014. 316p. Cloth with dust wrps. ‘The central theme of this collected volume, published on the occasion of Gillian Clark’s retirement as Professor of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Bristol, explores what it meant to become and be Christian in the ancient Mediterranean world, in particular in the late antique period. The theme is well chosen since it was and still is so pivotal to Clark’s own scholarship. She published widely on the Christianization of the Graeco-Roman world in general, on St. Augustine specifically, but also on women in late antiquity; and she wrote the useful booklet ‘Late Antiquity. A Very Short Introduction (2011). Apart from that she was one of the driving forces behind the series ‘Translated Texts for Historians”. Clark’s contributions to scholarship are eloquently described by Averil Cameron in the introductory chapter of the volume. The volume contains fifteen contributions by British and American friends and colleagues of Clark, most of them scholars of great renown in the field of studies of late antique studies. Almost all relate to Clark’s own scholarly work.’ (JAN WILLEM DRIJVERS in Church History, 2015, p.649). A.o.: S. GOLDHILL: Why Don’t Jews Write Biography? (pp.13-39); G.G.
