Item description from seller

pp. 223-264, 3 fig. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A perfect copy. - From the text: Sine amico uisceratio leonis et lupi uita est: To eat its meat without a friend is the life of a lion or a wolf." Out of context this sentence, attributed by Seneca to Epicurus, surprises the modern reader, who comes from a Christian civilization that valued the sharing of bread and wine but considered vulgar the consumption of meat outside of fast days. Undoubtedly the lines that preceded this sentence helped tone down the meaning, at least at first sight. Ante, inquit, circumspiciendum est, cum quibus edas et bibas, quam quid edas et bibas: nam sine amico uisceratio: Think, he says, about whom you eat and drink with before thinking about what you eat and drink; for to eat its meat without a friend. Senecas remark has to do less with meat itself than with praise of selective friendship and conviviality. - Wikipedia: Mireille Corbier (born 24 May 1943) is a French historian of Classical history. Currently Research Director emerita at Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), she has published a number of books and articles, and since 1992 has been editor-in-chief of L'Année épigraphique.
