Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - This is a critical, annotated, bilingual edition, with introduction, notes and full indices, of the first two of Vives five dramatic speeches on the theme of the abdication of the late Roman Republican dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla. These speeches belong among Vives experiments, in the years 1514-1521, with various imaginative genres, in which he was trying techniques for personal involvement of both himself and the reader in exploration of pressing issues, whether political, ethical or esthetic. -- The fundamental theme is the danger of ruling by fear. Sulla s two friends, Fundanus and Fonteius, counsel respectively against and for Sulla s retirement when Rome is full of vengeful survivors of his savage proscriptions.
