Paperback. Condición: New. Mothers and Sons, Fathers and Daughters makes available for the first time complete English translations from the works of Michael Psellos (1018-1076?), a key philosopher of the Byzantine Empire. Psellos was not simply a philosopher, he was also a courtier, historian, and monk, and his works betray a dazzling engagement with philosophy, theology, history, and science. These interests were expressed in some eleven hundred works, including formal rhetorical texts, history writing, letters, poetry, and texts written for his students. This book contains the works that Psellos wrote about his family, including a long funeral oration for his mother that features unique recollections from a childhood spent in Constantinople; a funeral oration for his young daughter Styliane, which includes a detailed description of her physical appearance and a moving account of her illness and death; a legal work pertaining to the engagement of his second, adopted, daughter; and various letters and other works that relate to the private life of this Byzantine family. These works offer us a rare and comprehensive picture of the family life of a medieval Byzantine courtier and philosopher. Much of the material follows the rules of rhetoric inherited from classical and Christian antiquity, but Psellos was always recasting the conventions of those genre to express his own revolutionary views regarding the relation of body and soul. Some of these works also have an apologetic or legal purpose, as Psellos sometimes used them to get himself out of some trouble. Mothers and Sons, Fathers and Daughters will appeal to all who study medieval women, childhood, and the family, especially as it provides a Byzantine perspective that has been absent from most modern discussions of those topics.…

Couverture souple. Condición: Très bon. Thomas Stanley (1625-1678) est un érudit anglais du XVIIesiècle. Passionné du monde grec et plus particulièrement de la philosophie grecque ancienne, il publia une volumineuse Histoire de la Philosophie. S'il y aborde les néoplatoniciens qui furent les principaux philosophes à transmettre les vers des Oracles chaldaïques, il préféra composer un ouvrage spécifique sur ce sujet et dont il fit la première somme de la Philosophie orientale païenne. Il aborde donc successivement la philosophie de Zoroastre et les Oracles chaldaïques, celle des Perses et celle des Sabéens de Harran. Dans un second volume, il publie les Oracles chaldaïques en grec et en latin d'après la recension de Francesco Patrizi (1529-1597), qu'il traduit ensuite en anglais. Il fait suivre cette traduction par les commentaires aux Oracles faits par deux néoplatoniciens byzantins: Michel Psellos (1018-1078) et Georges Gémiste Pléthon (1355-1452) qui tenta de réintroduire le culte des dieux de la Hellade à Constantinople juste avant sa conquête par les Turcs (1453) et qui voulait faire des Oracles la nouvelle Bible des Grecs. L'ensemble de ces textes sont ici traduits et annotés en de nombreux endroits par Stephan Hoebeeck. Les textes grecs et latins ont été conservés. Ce volume sera suivi par un second sur les Oracles magiques de Zoroastre d'après les recensions de William Wynn Westcott (1848-1925), de Thomas Taylor (1758-1835) et de François Habert (1510-1561); le tout avec le contexte dans lequel Porphyre de Tyr (234-305), Proclus de Lycie (412-485) et Damascius le Diadoque (458-533) ont cité les divins Oracles.
