Hard Cover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Thus. First thus (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #672). Near fine in very good publisher's slipcase. A few scuffs and smudges on slipcase, spine a bit toned. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1990 Hard Cover. xix, 151 pp. Includes pub…lisher's slipcase. Illustrated with color photographic plates. Strikingly bound in cloth decorated with a mosaic pattern. Translated by G.A. Williamson. Introduction by Philip Ziegler. The text was written around ad 550 and was first published in France in 1623. The present translation was made in 1966. The plates reproduce contemporary tessellated pavements and murals. In addition, there are maps on page 145 and a genealogical table on page 143. Procopius of Caesarea was a prominent late antique Byzantine Greek scholar from Palaestina Prima. Accompanying the Byzantine general Belisarius in Emperor Justinian's wars, Procopius became the principal Byzantine historian of the 6th century, writing the History of the Wars, the Buildings, and the Secret History. He is commonly classified as the last major historian of the ancient Western world. Procopius's now famous Anecdota also known as Secret History was discovered centuries later at the Vatican Library in Rome and published in Lyon by Niccolo Alamanni in 1623. Its existence was already known from the Suda, which referred to it as Procopius's "unpublished works." The Secret History covers roughly the same years as the first seven books of The History of the Wars and appears to have been written after they were published. Current consensus generally dates it to 550 or 558, although others set it as late as 562. In the eyes of many scholars, the Secret History reveals an author who had become deeply disillusioned with Emperor Justinian, his wife Theodora, the general Belisarius, and his wife Antonina. The work claims to expose the secret springs of their public actions, as well as the private lives of the emperor and his entourage. Justinian is portrayed as cruel, venal, prodigal, and incompetent. In one passage, it is even claimed that he was possessed by demonic spirits or was himself a demon: And some of those who have been with Justinian at the palace late at night, men who were pure of spirit, have thought they saw a strange demoniac form taking his place. One man said that the Emperor suddenly rose from his throne and walked about, and indeed he was never wont to remain sitting for long, and immediately Justinian's head vanished, while the rest of his body seemed to ebb and flow; whereat the beholder stood aghast and fearful, wondering if his eyes were deceiving him. But presently he perceived the vanished head filling out and joining the body again as strangely as it had left it. Similarly, the Theodora of the Secret History is a garish portrait of vulgarity and insatiable lust juxtaposed with cold-blooded self-interest, shrewishness, and envious and fearful mean-spiritedness. Among the more titillating (and dubious) revelations in the Secret History is Procopius's account of Theodora's thespian accomplishments: Often, even in the theatre, in the sight of all the people, she removed her costume and stood nude in their midst, except for a girdle about the groin: not that she was abashed at revealing that, too, to the audience, but because there was a law against appearing altogether naked on the stage, without at least this much of a fig-leaf. Covered thus with a ribbon, she would sink down to the stage floor and recline on her back. Slaves to whom the duty was entrusted would then scatter grains of barley from above into the calyx of this passion flower, whence geese, trained for the purpose, would next pick the grains one by one with their bills and eat. On the other hand, it has been argued that Procopius prepared the Secret History as an exaggerated document out of fear that a conspiracy might overthrow Justinian's regime, which - as a kind of court historian - might be reckoned to include him. The unpublished manuscript would the.
