Light foxing on page edges. Synopsis: Father Copleston's book examines Thomas Aquinas - whose influence is perhaps greater today than in his own lifetime - and his thought, relating his ideas wherever possible to problems as they are discussed today. Aquinas (1224-74) lived at a time when the Christian West was opening up to a wealth of Greek and Islamic philosophical speculation. An embodiment of the 13th-century ideal of a unified interpretation of reality (in which philosophy and theology work together in harmony), Aquinas was remarkable for the way in which he used and developed this legacy of ancient thought - an achievement which led his contemporaries to regard him as an advanced thinker.Father Copleston's book examines this man - whose influence is perhaps greater today than in his own lifetime - and his thought, relating his ideas wherever possible to problems as they are discussed today.

Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Moderate Yellowing Due to Age. SUB-TITLE: With Fifteen Maps. BOOK NUMBER: A420. CONTENTS: List of Maps; Preface 1 Introduction 2 The Mediterranean and The Black Sea 3 The Atlantic 4 Indian Waters 5 The Circumnavigations of Africa 6 Europe 7 Asia 8 Africa 9 Results of Ancient Explorations 10 Imaginary Discoveries; Notes; Index. SYNOPSIS: Two eminent scholars - both professors in the University of London - collaborated in the writing of this volume, which remains a standard work on ancient travel and discovery. Concerned with the actual journeys made rather than with the geographical speculations of ancient scholars, they tell how, before Arabic expansion closed the gates of the Mediterranean Sea, men had coasted Western Europe and penetrated the continent south of the Danube and Rhine, sailed from Suez to Canton and probed deeply into Asia, and - even if they failed to circumnavigate Africa - had been as far as Sierra Leone and Port Delgado. They describe, too, the objects of these journeys, the crude equipment of sailors, and the scanty geographical knowledge on which they proceeded. In this "Hakluyt" of the ancient world one reads - often with surprise - of Greeks in India and Romans in China, of the account of the source of the Nile given by one Diogenes, and of Pytheas's extended visit to the boorish inhabitants of Britain. And it is clear that the Great Age of Discovery, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, was heavily indebted to these more ancient explorers. Max Cary, D.Litt. was born at Liverpool in 1881 and educated at Liverpool College and Oxford. After a year in Athens and three years as a lecturer in Greek at Birmingham University he was appointed Reader in Ancient History in the University of London in 1908. He was appointed Professor of Ancient History in 1937 and Professor Emeritus on his retirement in 1946. He edited the seven-volume History of the Greek and Roman World and was joint editor of The Oxford Classical Dictionary. Among his books are The Geographical Background of Greek and Roman History, Life and Thought in the Greek and Roman World (with T. J. Haarhoff), and a standard one-volume History of Rome. He also contributed articles to The Cambridge Ancient History and numerous journals. He died in 1957. Eric Herbert Warmington, F.R.Hist.S., was born at Cambridge in 1898 and educated at the Perse School and Peterhouse. After taking a "Double First" in classics and winning the Le Bas English Prize at Cambridge he became Reader in Ancient History at King's College, London, in 1925, and ten years later was appointed Professor of Classics at Birkbeck College, London-a post which he still holds. Besides being Vice-Master of his college since 1954 Professor Warmington has held several senior posts within London University and has been an editor of the Loeb Classical Library for many years. Among his publications are The Commerce between the Roman Empire and India (1928), Greek Geography (1934), Africa in Ancient and Medieval Times (1936), and Remains of Old Latin, in four volumes.

Psychedelic poster-poem from one of the pioneers of the genre, English poet Christopher Logue (1926-2011). Logue produced the first of these poems with designer Germano Facetti in 1958, which was titled "To My Fellow Artists," and would go on to produce several more in collaboration with other artists, the posters mainly reflecting his pacifist beliefs. The image on this poster is of infamous outlaw, Rube Burrow, who was shot dead while attempting an escape from jail in Marengo County, Alabama in 1890. The poem was later set to music as "Be Not Too Hard" by Joan Baez and appeared on her album "Joan," in 1967. Poster poem, offset lithograph, 58x45cm. Very good with pinholes and wear at corners, some toning to edges, and a few light scuffs and smudges.
