Descripción del artículo del vendedor

1152 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). - Einband jeweils leicht berieben und bestoßen, sonst gute Exemplare / Binding a little rubbed and bumped in each case, otherwise good copies. - Mayors Juvenal is a special book. Lifework doorstops are, to be sure, a feature of the Victorian era, and this ones tally of Ixxvi + 970 pages only just clears Juvenal's threshold for ancient historians (Satire 7.100): nullo quippe modo millensima pagina surgit (No capping here: page 1000, and still climbing.). But there can be no more concentrated a mass of intensively focused exhortation to study your way to salvation than this unique commentary. Two great moments in western culture blend here. On the one hand, early nineteenth-century devotion to the classical tradition hands on in unbroken succession, the fusion of Biblical and Hellenic wisdom with Roman and Church morality that had privileged Latin as the ecumenical language of university and pulpit alike. On the other, mid-nineteenth-century commitment to systematizing knowledge imported contemporary German aspiration to total contextualization through exhaustive encyclopaedisma distinctive brand of Altertumswissenschaft. It took a strange series of improbable twists within what looks, at a glance, like one of the most stable lives ever lived to produce the magnum opus; yet the world view it represents perfectly sums up the culmination of (Anglican) hegemony as the hub of modern culture, and its doom. This new Introductions purpose is first to explain how to use Mayors Juvenal; then to set out the circumstances of its gestation and generation, leading into a kit of suggestions for how to read the book; finally I point towards key bibliographical items for further reading. (JH will refer to my Juvenals Mayor (1998) listed there; and at no extra charge this will show how to live on 2° a day.) For this commentary is neither relic nor fossil. Rather, the chemistry between Mayor and Juvenal leaves us with an unchallengeable work of reference for keying those hooked on classical studies to the mainstream of Graeco-Roman culture at its own culmination. Mayor correctly supposed that Juvenal expected a Roman audience which knew that tradition through and throughand traded on the fact. Accordingly, the commentary aims to familiarize us with Antiquity through the Latin language. This it sets about with truly astounding and all-encompassing zeal. Nonetheless, I should not have concealed even thus far that Mayor, the longest-serving Professor of Latin Cambridge has ever had, survived to a grand old age in the early twentieth century to be remembered, not only for the avalanche of his commentary on the great Roman satirist Juvenal, but for the lovable and excruciating scholar-eccentricity which still explodes onto his every page. The gobsmacking Advertisement that introduces the final (fourth, in our terms) edition of our first volume is the keynote here (vii-liii). You will find that Mayors Juvenal declares itself from the outset one of the grandest (great, giant, gargantuan. compelling, over-powering, appalling. impassioned, idealistic, daft. engaged, crusading, ludicrous.) edifices of Victorian scholarship in all its energy and muddle.
