About This Item
University of California Press, Berkeley / Los Angeles, 1961. VIII,262p. Original green cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Nice copy. In 1928 Merritt in The Athenian Calendar of the Fifth Century (?), sought to show that in the fifth century the civil (or conciliar) year approximated in length tot the solar year and was devided into prytanies of 36 and 37 days in no regular sequence. (?) In the present book, which is based on the Sather Lectures of 1959, Meritt reviews in detail the epigraphic evidence, including four new inscriptions from the third and second centuries B.C. (?) Throughout the book the reasoning is clear and incisive, and the study of many inscriptions is significantly advanced.' (R. MEIGGS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1963, pp.334-35). From the library of the late Prof.Dr. Nikolaus Himmelmann.

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
