Pp.190-199 yellowed, caused by journal article which was stored between the pages. Requires extra shipping costs: weight including packing from 2 - 5 Kg. 'The appearance of this work is particularly welcome in that it covers a period whose influence on subsequent European thought and culture has been immense, yet which has remained for the most part little known not only to the general reader but also top most contemporary philosophers and theologians (...). The contributors to the present volume are (...) all scholars of distinction and each of them provides an illuminating discussion of his own special section. (...) the volume is too short. (...) (The) most serious (defect) is the editor's failure to impose a uniform plan on all contributors, whith the result that the volume reads less like a continuous history than like a disconnencted series of essays on more or less related topics. (...) These points apart, each contributor produces much fascinating material. (...) In short, the book provides a valuable, and in parts a brilliant, treatment of its field, and will be found essential reading by many scholars for many years to come.' (R.T. WALLIS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1971, pp.233-35). € 89.50 (Antiquarian)

COLISH, M.L., The Stoic Tradition from Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages. 1. Stoicism in Classical Latin Literature. Brill, Leiden (...), 1990. 2nd revised and enlarged ed. XII,459p. Paperback. (Rare). 'C. is concerned, as she says, not with doctrinal viability but with influence - how Stoicism was used, or featured (sometimes unconsciously) in a variety of writers from grammarians such as Varro, through to poets, historians, and Church Fathers. Writing primarily as a Medievalist, C. proclaims two main objectives: first, to show how Stoic influence, in cutting across the cultural boundaries of philosophy, literature, and law, has often been either exaggerated or inadequately recognized by scholars of different disciplines; secondly, C. wishes to 'orient the classical Latin writers to their medieval posterity. In appropriating Stoicism in their own works, they also became the channels of its transmission to the Latin west in he post-classical era' (vol.I, p.5). C. moves with assurance among the Latin writers, preserving a light touch with e.g. Horace and a good sense of perspective with e.g. the poetry of Virgil. (...) The scope and readability of C. makes her study a major achievement and a 'must' for library shelves.' (CHRIS EMLYN-JONES on the complete edition in two volumes, in Greece and Rome, 1987, p.104). € 75.00 (Antiquarian)
