Item description from seller

pp. 199-236. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly bumped, author's name underlined on cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: The precise subject of our investigation here is one of immense history and complexity. Significantly, it has no set name. To a librarian it might be classification; to the teacher, curriculum. But the former smacks of efficiency and expediency more than real concern with the fundamental relationships between the disciplines and their proper philosophical order, while the latter suggests occupation with narrower matters, like reading lists and pedagogy. The old name and the best has through the evolution of language become misleading, namely, encyclopedia. This term had its origin from the Greek enkuklios paideia, the circle or cycle of learning, and during the Renaissance stood both for handbooks of facts and doctrines, and systems of classification of the different branches of knowledge. - Wikipedia: Norman Fiering (born 1935 in New York City) is an American historian, and Director and Librarian, Emeritus, of the John Carter Brown Library.
