Aurelius Symmachus was proconsul of Africa.

Condition: Gut. S. 73-83. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Mit Widmung des Autors an W. Haase. - Am Vorderschnitt bestoßen, sonst gut und sauber. - Aus dem Text: Was für eine Frage! wird sich der Gefeierte vermutlich sagen. Wie speziell, wie entlegen! Er hat nur zu recht. Denn Geschichte - das ist doch wohl nicht Einzelnes, nicht Faktisches, Geschichte ist vielmehr, wie Peter Härtling sagt, "der Geist, der sie durchfährt'. Und doch kommt man, beschäftigt man sich mit Vergangenem, nicht daran vorbei, sich um Anhalte - das heißt: um Daten - zu bemühen. Nur wenn dies Geschäft ernsthaft betrieben wird, gewinnt man Boden unter den Füßen. Deshalb hat die Forschung auch wieder recht getan, die Frage zu prüfen, ob Kaiser Theodosius der Große nach seinem Romaufenthalt im Jahre 389, der zweifelsfrei bezeugt ist, die Stadt ein zweites Mal im Jahre 394 besucht hat. Seitdem Lenain de Tillemont in seiner 'Histoire des Empereurs' einen zweiten Aufenthalt angezweifelt hat, geht die Auseinandersetzung hin und her. - Wikipedia: Siegmar Döpp (* 10.

Sonderdruck, Klebebindung. Condition: Gut. S. 322-336. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Mit Widmung des Autors an W. Haase. - Aus dem Text: Die Großen Kappadokier, Basilios von Cäsarea, sein jüngerer Bruder Gregor von Nyssa, Gregor von Nazianz auch Amphilochios von Ikonium muß man zu ihnen rechnen , sind die hervorragendsten Vertreter der Theologengeneration, die in den letzten Lebensjahren des Athanasius die Führung in der Kirche des Ostens übernimmt. Angehörige der aristokratischen Oberschicht, hochgebildet, erfüllt von den geistlichen Idealen des Mönchtums, entfalteten sie eine theologisch-literarische und kirchenpolitische Tätigkeit, die ihnen bald entscheidenden Einfluß auf das kirchliche Geschehen in Kleinasien verschaffte. Der überragende Kirchenpolitiker, der in seine Pläne die Kirche des gesamten Imperiums einbezog, war Basilios. Neben ihm, der sich bis an sein Lebensende bemühte, die Kirche des Ostens unter dem nicänischen Bekenntnis zu einigen und der das Haupt des Widerstandes gegen die arianische Kirchenpolitik des Kaisers Valens war, blieben Amphilochios und die beiden Gregore im Hintergrund. Erst nach dem Tode des Valens (9. August 378), als sich unter den Kaisern Gratian und vor allem Theodosius die lang erhoffte Wendung der staatlichen Kirchenpolitik vollzog, traten sie hervor, nunmehr als die Erben und Vollender der Pläne des Basilios.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. xvii, 1 leaf [half-title], 152 pp, 1 leaf. Original cloth. Very Good. First Edition ("First Printing" is so stated on the verso of the title page.). INSCRIBED BY THEODOSIUS DOBZHANSKY: "To Prof. Percy Lilly/ with many thanks/ and best regards/ from the author". This was the second volume in the Perspectives in Humanism series, which was planned and edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen. Dobzhansky was on the "Board of Editors" for this series. Dobzhansky does not need an introduction but the recipient of this copy may. Quoting from an obituary online, Percy Lilly (1927-2023) "graduated from Concord College (now University) in 1950 with a BS in Biology. He received his Master's in Botany from West Virginia University in 1951 and a PhD in Botany from Penn State University in 1956. . . . He taught at Heidelberg College (now University) [Tiffin OH] from 1956-1998, serving as a professor of science for 32 years. . . . During his tenure at Heidelberg, Percy taught a wide diversity of courses focusing on biology, botany, microbiology and genetics. . . . The designation of the Percy Lilly Campus Forest at Heidelberg University was approved by the Heidelberg Trustees in the Fall, 2022, and honors Percy's single-handed oversight of the planting of more than 60 diverse species of trees during his tenure. During his life Percy ranged far from his origins in rural West Virginia, travelling with students, colleagues, and/or family, to Costa Rica, China, Columbia, Brazil, Belize, Guatemala, Italy, Switzerland, and extensively in the US." NOTE ABOUT DUST JACKET: You can see the front flap of a dust jacket in one of the photos, as this copy does have a dust jacket. BUT it is in poor condition, with large pieces missing from the spine portion of the dust jacket. I am offering this copy as if it does not have a dust jacket. However, because this copy has been protected by a dust jacket, it is a good candidate for a dust jacket supplied from an inexpensive, unsigned. copy. I have not done that (yet), but a buyer might want to consider doing it. Inscribed by Author(s).
