Product Description
This work provides a careful historical analysis of the methods andcontents of the `De Trinitate' of Boethius and the `Expositio' of Aquinas. Itis also the first comprehensive philosophical and theological analysis ofAquinas' `Expositio' to be based on the modern critical edition of the Latintext and in the light of mid- and late-20th-century advances in thomisticscholarship. In this study the author locates the reconstruction of Boethiusundertaken by Aquinas, and radically documents the dialectical themes of`agnosia' and `remotion' in this work. Such documentation aims to provide ahigher level of understanding of the structure of the `cu Expositio' than ispossible with mid-20th-century approaches which have emphasizedparticipationist, analogical and transcendental thematics. ...

Product Description
Exile is a political act involving loss of power. Five authors-Cicero, Ovid, Seneca the Younger, Dio Chrysostomus, and Anicius Manlius Boethius-all exiled from Rome, are examined in this fascinating study of the depiction of exile. Although separated from the first four by several centuries, Boethius has an intellectual, circumstantial, and spiritual affinity with them. Jo-Marie Claassen explores the various means of literary sublimation that individual exiles found for the feeling of social and political isolation that they experienced.

Displaced Persons is the first book to adopt an analytical approach to the literature of exile through to the virtual end of the Classical era. It will appeal to all those interested in Roman life and literature, and in the moving phenomenon of exile.

The first thorough examination of the phenomenon of exile in Roman literature. ... Read more

Product Description
This new edition of Boethius' Consolatio Philosophiae and Opuscula Theologica aims to present both the metaphysical and literary works of this great Roman philosopher to readers. The text of the Consolatio collates all of the manuscripts already employed by the previous editors, plus a good number of 9th-10th century testimonia. As for the Opuscula Theologica, the last critical edition was the one edited by Peiper more than hundred years ago (1871). Although the Opuscula can also be found in a Loeb edition (Rand-Tester ed.), this new edition will be the first to offer any critical support and apparatus. ... Read more

Product Description
First published 1967, long out of print, and now reprinted in full by kind permission of Novello and company, this book fills a gap that has long existed. It is the outcome of serious scholarly research, fully documented. More than a book about musical education, it is also a social history of education; yet always the general, social and educational references are related to the main theme - singing from symbols. Various methods are described and the author shows how these interact, ending with that "agent of synthesis" John Curwen. Everyone who teaches music, or is training to teach music, should read it. Salutary reading for anyone who thinks he or she has a new idea. ... Read more

Product Description
Die an Kontroversen reiche Geschichte der Wissenschaften durfte keine Auseinandersetzung kennen, die heftiger und einschneidender war als der Streit um das heliozentrische Weltbild. Mehr noch als die Wissenschaftliche Revolution des 17. Jahrhunderts ist der zeitgleiche Siegeszug des Copernicanismus zum Sinnbild einer im Zeichen von Wissenschaftlichkeit und Rationalitat beginnenden Moderne geworden. Was nun aber, wenn die Geschichte dieser Auseinandersetzung allein von ihren Siegern geschrieben wurde? Der aEkstatische Reiseberichto des Jesuiten Athanasius Kircher verschafft einen anderen Blickwinkel. Mit seiner literarischen Weltraumreise liefert der Universalgelehrte ein aneues Systemo, gestutzt auf heute fast vergessene Quellen. Die hiervon ausgehenden Rekonstruktionsversuche spannen einen Bogen von Copernicus uber Galilei und Hooke bis ins 18. Jahrhundert. Sie zeigen infolge der Kontroverse verursachte Bruche sowohl in unserem Geschichtsbild als auch im damaligen Wissenschaftsverlauf. Wir sehen, wie dieser Weltbildstreit fast zwei Jahrhunderte hindurch von beiden Seiten wissenschaftlich und rhetorisch ausgetragen, teils ernuchternd, teils auf ungeahnt hohem Niveau gefuhrt wurde, und dies mit uberraschenden Wendungen. 2007 ausgezeichnet mit dem aPrix des jeunes historienso der Academie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences, Paris . ...
