Condición: Gut. 488 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Dust jacket a bit rubbed, somewhat skewed, otherwise a good and clean copy. - The aim of this book is to collect in one volume a substantial and representative selection of ancient sources in translation, with commentary, on the history, institutions, society and economic life of the Hellenistic world from the reign of Alexander the Great to the late second century B.C. - that is, from when the Greek world expanded considerably through Alexanders conquest of the Persian empire to the time when Rome became the predominant political force in that world. The area covered includes Macedon and mainland Greece, the Aegean, Asia, Syria and Egypt. Fringe areas such as the Black Sea and Bactria are also included where appropriate, but less fully. The sources selected include literary sources, numerous inscriptions from almost all parts of the Hellenistic world, and papyri from Egypt. The sources themselves are supported by introductory commentary, notes, bibliographies, chronological tables and maps. This is the first comprehensive sourcebook in English concentrating entirely on the Hellenistic age. Teachers and students will welcome its appearance since it makes available to them for study a period which previously lack of translated material has made difficult of access. Dr Austins translations of a large number of inscriptions are especially valuable in this connection. ISBN 9780521228299 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 711 Original cloth with dust jacket.
