Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 94-107. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Authors names handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: There is no proper history of ancient rhetoric which traces the development of rhetorical theory step by step, as do the histories of ancient literature or of ancient philosophy in their fields. George Kennedys The Art of Persuasion in Greece (Princeton 1963: henceforth Kennedy) does enter into some historical problems, but it only traces the larger historical developments and docs not pay enough attention to changes and developments within the shorter periods. Josef Martins Antike Rhetorik: Technik und Methode (Munich 1974) is essentially what its title signifies; it treats the whole of ancient rhetoric as if it were only one consistent system with slight variations from period to period. Heinrich Lausbergs Handbuch der literarischen Rhetorik (2 vols., Munich 1960) is the most useful collection of ancient sources from the various periods in the history of rhetoric, but again, it is arranged systematically and not historically. Ludwig Radermachers Artium Scriptores (Vienna 1951; henceforth AS) has been available to students of pre-Aristotelian rhetoric for over forty years. It is not an easy book to use, but it does contain a more complete collection of sources for that early period than any other work. It has not been used as often and as properly as it should. A more careful use of Radcrmachcr by earlier scholars might have deprived us of the necessity and the pleasure of writing much of this article. Our own discussion, since it deals with one small point in ancient rhetorical theory, is based on a wider range of ancient sources than Radermachers discussion of the same point in his larger context, and goes beyond his conclusions; but we have found it reassuring that his conclusions point in the direction our work has taken.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 131-138. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A perfect copy. - From the text: I have followed the Philonian text with parts of the relevant pages of Platos Euthyphro, where verbal similarities are close enough. To the best of my knowledge, Professor John Dillon is the only one so far who has noted the similarities. His context is that of the canon of two virtues, and he only notes briefly: That Philo had the Euthyphro well in mind is shown by the echoes of Euth. 13A ff. in Det. 55-6.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 3-18. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A perfect copy. - From the text: I have chosen my title quite deliberately, for reasons both subjective and objective. Not The Image of Plato in Late Antiquity, since it is now a commonplace that at no time has there been anything like one and only kind of Platonism. Various interpretations of the dialogues existed even among Platos own pupils. Aristotle, his pupil for the best part of twenty years, took the creation-myth of the Timaeus quite literally as an event in time. Aristotles friend Xenocrates a pupil of Plato from his youth, who even accompanied him on his trip to Sicily (Diog. Laert. IV, 6) and was his successors successor as head of the Academy believed that the myth was merely an analysis for the sake of examination (what one could call geometrical construction), and that the world of the Timaeus was eternal. So, for that matter, did Xenocrates pupil Crantor but Crantor disagreed with him on the meaning of the creation of the soul in the Timaeus. We shall soon see that in late Antiquity there were at least two main images of Plato which, even though not mutually exclusive, were not quite the same and there were also relics, at least, of another image, rejected by the upholders of both, but known to be of an ancient and honourable ancestry.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 115-143. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to W. Haase. - Authors names handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: It is usually assumed that probabile and ueri simile are alternative Latin terms employed by Cicero to translate the Carneadean pithanón. This seems to be the case in the first appearance of these two concepts, and together, in an extant philosophical work of Cicero: Volunt enim . . . probabile aliquid esse et quasi ueri simile, eaque se uti regula et in agenda uita et in quaerendo ac disserendo (Luc. 32).
