RAND, E.K., Founders of the Middle Ages. Dover Publications, New York, n.d.(>1957). IX,365p. Paperback. Front cover slightly creased. Ex libris stamp on free endpaper. This well-known study discusses the transformation of Latin pagan culture into the first stirrings of medieval civilization. Dr. Rand begins with an intensive study of the interrelations between the early Christian church and pagan culture in the first centuries of the Christian era. Symmachus, Gregory the Great, Prudentius, Tertullian, Minucius Felix, Lactantius and others are carefully evaluated. Chapters on St. Ambrose, St. Jerome, Boethius, St. Augustine are then followed by discussions (with extensive translations) of Latin poetry of the 4th and 5th centuries and a survey of new educational theories, as in Martianus Capella, Cassian, St. Benedict, Cassiodorus, and others. Continual reference is made to the medieval understanding of Aristotle, Plato, Porphyry, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil, and the pre-medieval cultural scene is depicted with unique charm and clarity. Later developments from these early medieval roots are traced, and modern historians are copiously quoted and evaluated. (Publisher's information). € 15.00 (Antiquarian)

D'ANGELO, Rosa Maria, Fra trimetro e senario giambico. Ricerche di metrica greca e latina. Edizioni dell'Ateneo, Roma, 1983. 127p. Sewn. Series: Bibliotheca Athena, N. 25.'Rosa Maria D'Angelo's volume provides a clear account of both ancient and modern discussion of the old Latin verse. D.'A. draws attention to the statistical insignificance of the number of the Attic comic and tragic verses alleged to realise a third or seventh element with a long syllabe (...), argues that the remains of fourth-century tragedy (...) show a technique equally strict, and finds no divergence from Attic comedy, where the matter in question is concerned, in the remains of Sicilian and South Italian drama. It accordingly appears to her idle to seek a germ of the Latin licence in Greek practice. The final chapter of the volume argues that the differences between the Latin 'senarius' and the classical Greek trimeter are merely the product of a the different phonological systems of the two languages, in other words of the greater frequency of long syllabes in Latin discourse.'
