Original Red Hardcover. Condition: Very Good-. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 2010. xvii, 329pp. B&W ills, maps. "Exploring the past and rethinking the future of ancient sport studies. What did sporting competition and athletic education in the ancient world really involve? Why was it so highly valued? How did ancient athletic practices change over time? This volume answers these questions by bringing together a collection of important articles and book extracts by American and European scholars, covering gymnasium education, festival competition and victory, the role of athletic activity in conceptions of ancient identity, and the reception of the ancient athletic heritage in the modern world.Greek Athletics will appeal to anyone interested in ancient Greek history and ancient sport in particular." The book has been slightly water affected - slight soiling to top and fore edges and the top right of the text block is very slightly bulging. Otherwise, in very good condition with no inscriptions.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Later Edition. Clean and tight, light edgwear to covers, small sellotape repair to edge of front cover. Clean, unmarked pages, without highlights or annotations. From the first to third century AD Greek athletics flourished as never before. This book offers exciting readings of those developments. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, it sheds light on practices of athletic competition and athletic education in the Roman Empire. In addition it examines some of the ways in which athletic activity was represented within different texts and contexts. Most importantly, the book shows how discussion and representation of athletics could become entangled with many other areas of cultural debate, and used as a vehicle for many different varieties of authorial self-presentation and cultural self-scrutiny. It also argues for complex connections between different areas of athletic representation, particularly between literary and epigraphical texts. It offers re-interpretations of a number of major authors, especially Lucian, Dio Chrysostom, Pausanias, Silius Italicus, Galen and Philostratus. 420 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 750 grams. Category: History; ISBN/EAN: 9780521070089. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: dscf4098.

Hardcover with dustjacket. Condition: Gut. XV, 601 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben und mit leichten Randläsuren, Bleistifteintrag auf Vorsatz, eine Seite weist einen Knick auf, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly rubbed and with slight edge wear, pencil entry on endpaper, one page has a big crease, otherwise very good condition. - There is a rich body of encyclopaedic writing from the two millennia before the Enlightenment. This book sheds new light on this material. It traces the development of traditions of knowledge-ordering which stretched back to Pliny and Varro and others in the classical world. It works with a broad concept of encyclopaedism, resisting the idea that there was any clear pre-modern genre of the encyclopaedia , and showing instead how the rhetoric and techniques of comprehensive compilation left their mark on a surprising range of texts. In the process it draws attention to both remarkable similarities and striking differences between conventions of encyclopaedic compilation in different periods. The focus is primarily on European/Mediterranean culture. The book covers classical, medieval (including Byzantine and Arabic) and Renaissance culture in turn, and combines chapters which survey whole periods with others focused closely on individual texts as case studies / 1 Introduction Jason Konig and Greg Woolf Part I ClassicalEncyclopaedism 2 Encyclopaedism in the Roman empire Jason Konig and Greg Woolf 3 Encyclopaedism in the Alexandrian library Myrto Hatzimichali 4 Labores pro bono publico: the burdensome mission of Pliny s Natural History Mary Beagon 5 Encyclopaedias of virtue?
