Condition: New. Muntz provides a new examination of Diodorus Siculus in his own historical context.

Hardback. Condition: New. In Diodorus Siculus and the World of the Late Roman Republic Charles E. Muntz offers a fresh look at one of the most neglected historians of the ancient world and recovers Diodorus' originality and importance as a witness to one of the most tumultuous periods in antiquity. Muntz analyzes the first three books of Diodorus, which cover "barbarian" ethnography, myth, and early history and contain the most varied and eclectic material in his work. He shows how Diodorus defines the physical, political, and cultural boundaries of the late Roman Republic in these books and uses them to map out future possibilities for the Romans. Diodorus reveals through the history, myths, and customs of the "barbarians" the secrets of successful states and rulers, and contributes to the debates surrounding the transition from Republic to Empire. Muntz establishes just how linked the "barbarians" of the Bibliotheke are to the crumbling Republic and demonstrates that through the medium of the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Indians, and others Diodorus engages with major issues and intellectual disputes of his time, including the origins of civilization, the propriety of ruler-cult, the benefits of monarchy, and the relationship of myth and history. Diodorus has many similarities with other authors writing on these topics, including Cicero, Lucretius, Varro, Sallust, and Livy. But, as Muntz argues, engaging with such controversial issues, even indirectly, could be dangerous for a Greek provincial such as Diodorus, and he may never have completed or fully published the Bibliotheke in his lifetime.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In Diodorus Siculus and the World of the Late Roman Republic, Charles E. Muntz offers a fresh look at one of the most neglected historians of the ancient world, and recovers Diodorus's originality and importance as a witness to a profoundly tumultuous period in antiquity. Muntz analyzes the first three books of Diodorus's Bibliotheke historike, some of the most varied and eclectic material in his work, in which Diodorus reveals through the history, myths,and customs of the "barbarians" the secrets of successful states and rulers, and contributes to the debates surrounding the transition from Republic to Empire. Muntz establishes just how linked the "barbarians"of the Bibliotheke are to the actors of the crumbling Republic, and demonstrates that through the medium of the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Indians, and others Diodorus engages with the major issues and intellectual disputes of his time, including the origins of civilization, the propriety of ruler-cult, the benefits of monarchy, and the relationship between myth and history. Diodorus has many similarities with other authors writing on these topics, including Cicero, Lucretius, Varro,Sallust, and Livy but, as Muntz argues, engaging with such controversial issues, even indirectly, could be especially dangerous for a Greek provincial such as Diodorus. Indeed, for these reasons he may neverhave completed or fully published the Bibliotheke in his lifetime. Through his careful and precise investigations, Muntz demonstrates Diodorus's historical context at its full size and scope. Muntz provides a new examination of Diodorus Siculus in his own historical context. Through an analysis of the first part of the Bibliotheke, he shows how Diodorus uses the ancient "barbarians" to engage with major political and intellectual issues in the late Roman Republic.

Leather. Condition: Very Good. First edition. 39 cm; viii, 290 pages, and 21 leaves of plates. Numerous illustrations in text. Edition limited to 260 copies, this copy out of series, "exemplaire spécialment tiré pour Monsieur Charles Éphrussi." Bound in recent half calf, polished, over pebbled cloth-covered boards. Gilt-tooled borders, ornaments and title. Gauffered edges. Few superficial chips along joints and at spine ends. Plates variously foxed, mostly in margins. Text clean. Vast--and vastly influential--study of the iconography of Petrarch's song cycles, The Triumphs (Trionfi) and the song book of "scattered rhymes" (Il Canzoniere). The essay was a collaboration between the art historian Eugène Müntz and the wealthy collector and amateur scholar Victor Masséna. The result is a luxurious book that was indispensible in the formation of the discipline of iconology. This copy is out of series, and in place of the justification page is a printed dedication to Charles Ephrussi, the patron of arts who effectively launched Renoir's career, and was a great supporter of Degas, Manet, Monet, and Proust.

Paris, Librairie de Firmin-Didot et Cie, 1889. 2 vol. au format pt in-8 (208 x 138 mm) de vii - 580 pp. ; 2 ff. n.fol. et 603 pp. Reliures uniformes de l'époque de demi-basane glacée émeraude, dos lisses ornés de quadruples filets dorés, titre doré, tomaison dorée, tranches mouchetées. L'ouvrage invite à ''l'introduction dans l'exploitation rurale, soit des engrais chimiques, soit des engrais organiques, en un mot, des matières fertilisantes qui viennent s'ajouter aux fumiers naturels. L'engrais est en effet le principal facteur de la production agricole. Il était, croyons-nous, utile de combler une lacune dans la littérature agricole, que de faire, pour ainsi dire, l'inventaire des notions que nous possédons actuellement sur les engrais. Cet ouvrage renferme l'exposé critique des théories actuelles et des données scientifiques sur lesquelles repose l'application des matières fertilisantes''. Angles et coupes élimés. Discrets frottements affectant par ailleurs les reliures. Papier très légèrement oxydé. Quelques claires rousseurs dans les corps d'ouvrages. Du reste, bonne condition.
