Paperback. ‘This volume is a veritable who’s who of those working in late antiquity, most notably in Platonism and early Christianity. The volume has a nice balance, eight chapters devoted to ‘pagan’ thinkers and eleven to Christians. The editors have done an excellent job of summarising each of the chapters in their introduction. (…) This volume is an invigorating contribution to scholarship on philosophy and theology in late antiquity and furnishes the reader with the most up-to-date contemporary scholarship in these areas.’ (DANIEL J. TOLAN in The Journal of Theological Studies, 2019, pp.857-859). € 42.50 (New)

STARR, C.G., A History of the Ancient World. Oxford University Press, New York, 1974. 2nd ed. XVII,742p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings, maps and plans). Original blue cloth with dust wrps. Nice copy. 'Starr has the ability to generalize without losing sight of the particular. (...) He keeps a balance between political, cultural, social, and economic factors, and is always aware of political activity as an expression of deeper forces. The result is a narrative remarkably modern in approach and detail, which yet avoids ephemeral fashions. (...) In an introductory survey the bibliographies are at least as important as the text. (...) Starr's narrative is held together by a series of cognate ideas. The chief is progress: the story is one of relentless advance to a better world.(...) In art and culture the achievements of each people are lovingly recorded, but seldom the oppression that produced them, or the periods of stagnation. Optimism becomes an historical virtue.' OSWYN MURRAY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1966, pp.379-80). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)
