One of the most widely studied texts of ancient philosophy and politics, Plato's Laws is his last and most substantial dialogue, debating crucial questions on the subject of law-giving and education. This two-volume edition of 1921 was prepared by the classicist Edwin Bourdieu England (1847–1936), who describes the dialogue as 'the treasury of pregnant truths which Plato in extreme old age left … as his last legacy to humanity'. Generally held to have been written after Plato's failed attempt to influence Syracusan politics, it concerns the just city and its constitution, including discussions of divine revelation, the role of intelligence in the creation of laws, and natural law itself. This edition comprises a short introduction, England's helpful analyses, the Greek text of the dialogue, and extensive notes. Volume 2 is devoted to Books 7–12. It also includes indexes of subjects and Greek words

Main description: "Das Leben ist kurz. Man nutze das Dasein mit Vernunft und Gerechtigkeit." Die Reflexionen Mark Aurels (121 - 180 n. Chr.), sein Bemühen um Selbsterkenntnis, bilden eines der eindrucksvollsten Zeugnisse der abendländischen Literatur. Der Gegensatz zwischen der weltbeherrschenden Stellung, die er als römischer Kaiser fast zwanzig Jahre innehatte, und der Bescheidenheit, mit der er auftritt und sich selbst sieht, ist ein wichtiger Grund für die Faszination, die dieses im Feldlager entstandene Buch der Weisheit noch heute ausübt.

Lisbeth S. Fried's insightful study investigates the impact of Achaemenid rule on the political power of local priesthoods during the 6th-4th centuries B.C.E. Scholars typically assume that, as long as tribute was sent to Susa, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire, subject peoples remained autonomous. Fried's work challenges this assumption. She examines the inscriptions, coins, temple archives, and literary texts from Babylon, Egypt, Asia Minor, and Judah and concludes that there was no local autonomy. The only people with power in the Empire were Persians and their appointees, and this was true for Judah as well. The Judean priesthood achieved its longed-for independence only much later, under the Maccabees

1966 legte Eberhard Ruschenbusch in der Historia – Einzelschrift 9 seine Sammlung der Fragmente des solonischen Gesetzeswerks aus dem Jahr 594 v.Chr. in den Originalsprachen vor. Nun folgen, aus dem Nachlass des 2007 verstorbenen Verfassers herausgegeben, die Übersetzung der 93 Fragmente, auf die Ruschenbusch die Rekonstruktion des solonischen Gesetzeswerks gründete, und ein wissenschaftlicher Kommentar, der dieses Gesetzeswerk in all seinen Dimensionen erschließt. Dabei zeigt sich Ruschenbuschs einzigartige Kennerschaft, die in gleicher Weise den Überlieferungszustand und den rechts- und sozialgeschichtlichen Gehalt der Texte betrifft. Er setzt sich kritisch mit der älteren Literatur auseinander und macht Ernst mit der Einsicht, dass erst das gesamte soziale und rechtliche Umfeld zusammen mit den Gesetzestexten das Recht Athens in archaischer Zeit ausmacht.

The late James Adam's edition of The Republic of Plato was published in 1902 and has long been out of print; it still remains among the most detailed and valuable critical editions available. D. A. Rees, Fellow and Tutor of Jesus College, Oxford, has written an introduction of 15,000 words for this edition. In it, he surveys Adam's work on The Republic and reviews subsequent work on the textual problems, language and meaning of the book. The book is divided into two volumes; Volume I. Introduction and Books I–V, and Volume II, printed here, Books VI–X and Indexes

"The Life of Stephen the Younger is one of the rare sources for Byzantium in the 'Dark Ages' and one of the key witnesses to the history of Iconoclasm. This book presents a new edition of the text, together with a French translation and commentary, and an important introduction. Stephen was a hermit, killed in 765 at the order of the emperor Constantine V; his Life was written in 809, some forty years after the 7th Ecumenical Council, Nicaea II, at which Orthodoxy was affirmed. Professor Auzepy shows how the Life reflects the politics of the era, both those of the patriarchate on which the author depended, and of the female monastery near which Stephen had lived, and transforms the probable victim of a failed political plot into a Christ-like figure martyred by a diabolic emperor. La Vie d'Etienne le Jeune est une des rares sources sur l'histoire de Byzance durant le Haut Moyen-Age et un temoignage majeur de la querelle iconoclaste. Cet ouvrage, comprenant une importante introduction, presente une nouvelle edition du texte, accompagnee d'une traduction francaise annotee. Etienne est un ermite qui fut assassine en 765 sur l'ordre de l'empereur Constantin V. Sa Vie fut ecrite en 809, une quarantaine d'annees apres le septieme concile Ecumenique de Nicee II, au cours duquel fut affirme l'Orthodoxie. Le professeur Auzepy demontre comment la Vie reflete les enjeux politiques de cette epoque, ceux du patriarcat dont l'auteur dependait comme ceux du monastere de femmes aupres duquel Etienne a vecu, et comment la Vie transforme son heros, probablement mis A mort dans le cadre d'un complot, en une figure de saint moine martyrise par un empereur diabolique. Winner of the "Prix Charles Diehl de l'Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres 1999"."--Provided by publisher.

"This film illustrates the changes the Lepcha of the Dzongu reserve, North Sikkim, have been through in the last 60 years. From the 1940's, the Lepcha of Tingvong village gradually abandoned hunting, gathering and the slash and burn cultivation of dry rice, and became settled agriculturalists. Entire mountains sides were converted to cardamom and terraced for the cultivation of irrigated paddy. The irrigated rice and the cardamom cash crop not only brought the Lepcha within Sikkim's market economy but helped create a surplus which could among other things be invested in religion. In the 1940's, the Lepcha of Tingvong embraced Buddhism and all its complex rituals without however abandoning their strong shamanic traditions. Today, both forms of rituals amiably co-exist in the village. This film is part of a long-term visual anthropology training project for the tribal communities of Sikkim."--Original container

The Praecepta Tonica by John of Alexandria (5th-6th cent. AD) is one of our richest sources for ancient Greek accentuation and an indispensable tool for reconstructing Herodian's famous De prosodia catholica. Despite its importance, it is available only in a seriously flawed edition brought out by Karl Wilhelm Dindorf in 1825. The newedition offers an authoritative new critical text based on a thorough review of the manuscript evidence and the modern scholarship, and includes a rich collection of parallel passages intended to place the treatise in its grammatical context
