Van Gorcum & Comp., Assen, 1974/76. 2 vols. XXI,560;X,561-1283p. Original black cloth with gold and silver titling to spine. Both volumes have a different paper quality. ?These (?) two volumes (?) share both a common title and one set of editors. Thirty separate articles, grouped into twenty-four consecutively numbered chapters, attempt to give a picture of life, in both Palestine and the Diaspora, which not only takes into account the relatively well known persons and events of the first century C.E., but which also and most especially clubs those levels (economic, religious, social, linguistic, etc.) which underlie the flow of historical cause and effect. Each chapter comes equipped with its own brief but up-to-date bibliographical data, and, at the end of Volume Two, the whole of Section One is analysed by lengthy and more than adequate indices. The first volume (sixteen articles grouped into ten chapters) deals first with literary and archaeological sources, and this entire initial chapter is… Read More

Often all the terms used by a single poet are collected, and classified e.g. into ?expressions banales? or ?créations vigoureuses?. Similarly the descriptions of storms , of embarcations, of landings, and of nautical manoeuvres, and the imagery drawn from the sea, are collected as each poet is treated. Naturally this material, with the interesting conclusions drawn from it, means a big book; and this ?mega biblion? might have seemed a ?mega kakon?, were it not for the excellent analytical table of contents (14 pages long) which enables the reader to pick and choose what to read. Constant touch is kept with history. In their proper places are treated the emergence of Rome as a naval power, the development of Baiae and similar places as… Read More
