Item description from seller

pp. 191-203. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author to W. Haase. - Author's name underlined on cover, 2 typogr. corr., 1 underlining, otherwise clean. - From the text:In contrast to philosophy the study of language and literature always enjoyed in Rome an unqualified esteem.

We recall too how disappointed and irritated the rhetorician Fronto was when his illustrious pupil Marcus Aurelius was converted to philosophy: 'May the immortal gods forbid,' he wrote years later to the emperor, 'that the Comitium, the Rostra, and the tribunals, which resounded to the speeches of Cato, Gracchus, and Cicero, should fall silent in this very age of ours, that the whole world, which was eloquent when you received it, should through you lose its powers of speech! . . . [For if] someone should write using the language of the dialecticians, he would describe a Jupiter who sighs, or rather coughs, not one who thunders.' - Wikipedia: Margarethe Billerbeck (* 13. Dezember 1945 in Basel) ist eine Schweizer Klassische Philologin. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550. …
