AALDERS, G.J.D., Die Theorie der gemischten Verfassung im Altertum. Hakkert, Amsterdam, 1968. 132p. Cloth. Name and date on free endpaper. (Rare). 'From the fifth century to the time of Cicero the mixed constitution plays an important part in political thought (though a much smaller one in political practice). (...) The mixed constitution deserves study and this book is to be welcomed as a useful survey (...). Aalders covers a vast field with clarity and good sense. (...) Where it came from remains uncertain, but his suggestion that it arose in a context of practical politics, coloured by sophistic (and even, he admits, Pythagorean) thinking, is at least plausible (...). The first mixture of political abstractions (...) comes in Plato's 'Menexenus' (238 cd), and from then onwards the concept is common in political discussions. (...) Aalders has some good comments on Polybius' constitutional chapters, and he rightly points out that the mixed constitution is a Procrustes' bed when applied to Rome. But his misunderstanding of the 'anacyclosis' invalidates some of his arguments. Despite [some] irritants this is a book with merits.' (F.W. WALBANK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1969, pp.314-17). € 45.00 (Antiquarian)

ARMSTRONG, A.H., (ed.), The Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy. Cambridge University Press, London / New York, 1970. Corr. reprint 1st ed.1967. XV,715p. Original blue cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Upper corner slightly bumped. Signature on paste-down endpaper. 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)
