Add to basketDover 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).
