Byron’s WarRomantic Rebellion, Greek RevolutionRoderick BeatonKing’s College London

The story of Lord Byron’s involvement with Greece and the Greek War of Independence has often been told, but this study, by a leading scholar, throws new light on the impact of Greece on British Romanticism, on Byron’s relationship with Greece, and on the making of the modern Greek state.

‘Byron’s War is a superb portrait of a complex personality. Drawing upon new archival research into the bitter civil wars between rival revolutionary factions, Beaton has constructed a gripping narrative of Byron’s self-transformation from Philhellene to a pragmatic and courageous politicker. Far from playing at soldiers or

The New Cambridge History of the BibleFrom the Beginnings to 600Edited by James Carleton PagetUniversity of Cambridge

and Joachim SchaperUniversity of Aberdeen

Recent years have witnessed signifi cant discoveries of texts and artefacts relevant to the study of the Old and New Testaments and remarkable shifts in scholarly methods of study. The present volume mirrors the increasing specialization of Old Testament studies, including the Hebrew and Greek Bibles,

and refl ects rich research activity that has unfolded over the last four decades in Pentateuch theory, Septuagint scholarship, Qumran studies and early Jewish exegesis of biblical texts. The second half of the volume discusses the period running from the New Testament to 600, including chapters on the Coptic, Syriac and Latin bibles, the ‘Gnostic’ use of the scriptures, pagan engagement with the Bible, the use of the Bible in Christian councils and in popular and non-literary culture. A fascinating in-depth account of the reception of the Bible in the earliest period of its history.Contributors: Geoffrey Khan, Jan Joosten, William Schniedewind, Larry Hurtado, Chris Keith, Eugene Ulrich, Joachim Schaper, John Barton, John J.

The Textualization of the Greek AlphabetRoger D. WoodardState University of New York, Buffalo

A Primer of Botanical Latin with VocabularyEmma Shortand Alex GeorgeMurdoch University, Western Australia

Providing a simple explanation of Latin grammar along with an in-depth vocabulary, this is an indispensable guide for systematic botanists worldwide. The authors

discuss all relevant parts of speech, with accompanying examples as well as worked exercises for translating diagnoses and descriptions to and from Latin.

‘The classical work Botanical Latin by W. T. Stearn has been a standard reference work for nearly 50 years, but it is not a starting point for those without prior knowledge of Latin. The new book by Emma Short and Alex George is derived from classes given separately by both authors, and the informal style is refl ected in the very readable text. As one reads it, one can almost hear the careful explanations being given to the classes. The past experience of the authors – one in working on major taxonomic databases at Kew and the other as a leading fi gure in Australian botany including being editor of the Flora of Australia – ensures a very high pedigree for the book. It will stand alongside Stearn’s work as an essential tool for many botanists for years to come.’R. K. Brummitt, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

Antigone, InterruptedBonnie HonigNorthwestern University, Illinois

Antigone, Interrupted explores the intertwined history of law, politics, gender and humanism through a new reading of Sophocles’ classical tragedy. Studying the play in its fi fth-century and modern contexts, Bonnie Honig argues for an Antigone committed not just to dissidence but to a positive politics of counter-sovereignty and solidarity.

‘Honig’s sweeping consideration of how the ‘Antigone’ is read and misread offers us a new way to approach the pauses, the ellipses, and the frank interruptions that punctuate this classic text. We have all struggled so hard to make the words mean in this or that way that we have perhaps forgotten the more dramatic features of the text in which relationships rupture, words trail off, and events still language. This book offers a trenchant analysis of sovereignty, belonging, and freedom through a perspective at once dramatic, literary, and political. Honig’s sustained engagement with contemporary criticism shows how important the fi gure and text of Antigone is for any effort to think about the risks and the necessity of contestatory democratic culture.’Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley

The Annals of Tacitus: Book 11Edited by S. J. V. MallochUniversity of Nottingham

Book 11, the fi rst of the later books of the Annals to survive, narrates two years in the reign of Claudius, AD 47–8. While Claudius is busy with the duties of his censorship, his wife Messalina is having a very public love affair with the young aristocrat Silius that eventually ruins her. In a book that also treats German, eastern, and other Roman internal affairs, a third of the surviving narrative is devoted to the destruction of Messalina. Here we encounter the classic portrayal of a Claudius ignorant and manipulated by those around him in an extended narrative that shows Tacitus at his dramatic and cynical best. This edition of Book 11, the fi rst scholarly one in English in over a hundred years, contains a full introduction, a newly-edited Latin text with apparatus, and a comprehensive commentary that illuminates historical, historiographical, textual, linguistic, and literary issues that arise from the narrative.Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries, 51

The Mythology of Kingship in Neo-Assyrian ArtMehmet-Ali AtaçBryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania

The relief slabs that decorated the palaces of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which emphasized military conquest and royal prowess, have traditionally been understood as statements of imperial propaganda that glorifi ed the Assyrian king. Here, Mehmet-Ali Ataç argues that the reliefs hold a deeper meaning that was addressed primarily to an internal audience composed of court scholars and master craftsmen.

‘There is much in this book that ancient and art historians will fi nd of interest. The method of analyzing Assyrian art in the light of the wide body of textual sources and comparative mythology is most welcome.’Bryn Mawr Classical Review

The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late AntiquityMark J. JohnsonBrigham Young University, Utah

Constructed between ca. AD 244 and 450 and bridging the transition from paganism to Christianity within the empire, these important buildings shared a common design. Mark Johnson examines the symbolism and function of the mausolea, demonstrating that these monuments served as temples and shrines to the divinized emperors.

‘Mark Johnson’s book offers a valuable and up-to-date survey of extant and otherwise attested Roman imperial mausolea from Augustus to Honorius. This accessible and informative study should be the fi rst stop for scholars and students interested in pursuing further analysis of Late Roman imperial funerary monuments.’American Journal of Archaeology

Vase Painting, Gender, and Social Identity in Archaic AthensMark D. Stansbury-O’DonnellUniversity of St Thomas, Minnesota

This study explores the phenomenon of spectators through a database built from a census of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, which reveals that the fi gures fl ourished in Athenian vase painting during the last two-thirds of the sixth century BCE.

‘This book will stimulate graduate students and scholars interested in the viewing and reading not just of Athenian pottery but of the ancient visual arts in general. While the author notes that his work is only the beginning, he addresses fi gures that often have been neglected, thus demonstrating the possibility that they have something to tell us about the ancient world. In short, Stansbury-

The Cambridge Prehistory of the Bronze and Iron Age MediterraneanEdited by A. Bernard KnappUniversity of Glasgow

and Peter van DommelenBrown University, Rhode Island

The Cambridge Prehistory of the Bronze and Iron Age Mediterranean offers new insights into the material and social practices of many different Mediterranean peoples during the Bronze and Iron Ages, presenting in particular those features that both connect and distinguish them. Contributors discuss in depth a range of topics that motivate and structure Mediterranean archaeology today, including insularity and connectivity; mobility, migration, and colonization;

hybridization and cultural encounters; materiality, memory, and identity; community and household; life and death; and ritual and ideology. The volume’s broad coverage of different approaches and contemporary archaeological practices will help practitioners of Mediterranean archaeology to move the subject forward in new and dynamic ways. Together, the essays in this volume shed new light on the people, ideas, and materials that make up the world of Mediterranean archaeology today, beyond the borders that separate Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.Contributors: John F.

The Roman ForumA Reconstruction and Architectural GuideGilbert J. GorskiUniversity of Notre Dame, Indiana

and James E. PackerNorthwestern University, Illinois

The Roman Forum was in many ways the heart of the Roman Empire. Today, the Forum exists in a fragmentary state, having been destroyed and plundered by barbarians, aristocrats, citizens and priests over the past two millennia. Enough remains, however, for archaeologists to reconstruct its spectacular buildings and monuments. This richly illustrated volume provides an architectural history of the central section of the Roman Forum during the Empire (31 BCE–476 CE), from the Temple of Julius Caesar to the monuments on the slope of the Capitoline hill. Bringing together state-

of-the-art technology in architectural illustration and the expertise of a prominent Roman archaeologist, this book offers a unique reconstruction of the Forum, providing architectural history, a summary of each building’s excavation and research, scaled digital plans, elevations, and reconstructed aerial images that not only shed light on the Forum’s history but vividly bring it to life. With this book, scholars, students, architects and artists will be able to visualize for the fi rst time since antiquity the character, design and appearance of the famous heart of ancient Rome.2014 228 x 304 mm 474pp 60 b/w illus. 247 colour illus. 978-0-521-19244-6 Hardback US$250.00Publication July 2014

Warfare was the single biggest preoccupation of historians in antiquity. In recent decades fresh textual interpretations, numerous new archaeological discoveries and a much broader analytical focus emphasising social, economic, political and cultural approaches have transformed our understanding of ancient warfare. This two-volume History refl ects these developments and provides a systematic account, written by a distinguished cast of contributors, of the various themes underlying the warfare of the Greek world from Archaic Greece to the Arab conquests of the seventh century AD. For each broad period developments in troop-types, equipment, strategy and tactics are discussed. These are placed in the broader context of developments in international relations and the relationship of warfare to both the state and wider society. Numerous illustrations, a glossary and chronology, and information about the authors mentioned supplement the text.

The Geography of StraboAn English Translation, with Introduction and NotesTranslated by Duane W. RollerOhio State University

The Geography of Strabo is the only surviving work of its type in Greek literature, and the major source for the history of Greek scholarship on geography and the formative processes of the earth. In addition, this lengthy and complex work contains a vast amount of information on other topics,

including the journey of Alexander the Great, cultic history, the history of the eastern Mediterranean in the fi rst century BC, and women’s history. Modern knowledge of seminal geographical authors such as Eratosthenes and Hipparchos relies almost totally on Strabo’s use of them. This is the fi rst complete English translation in nearly a century, and the fi rst to make use of recent scholarship on the Greek text itself and on the history of geography. The translation is supplemented by a detailed discussion of Strabo’s life and his purpose in writing the Geography, as well as the sources that he used.2014 228 x 152 mm 1200pp 2 maps 1 table 978-1-107-03825-7 Hardback c.

Law and Legal Practice in Egypt from Alexander to the Arab ConquestA Selection of Papyrological Sources in Translation, with Introductions and CommentaryEdited by James G. KeenanLoyola University, Chicago

J. G. ManningYale University, Connecticut

and Uri Yiftach-FirankoHebrew University of Jerusalem

The study of ancient law has blossomed in recent years. In English alone there have been dozens of studies devoted to classical Greek and Roman law, to the Roman legal codes, and to the legal traditions of the ancient Near East among many other topics. Legal documents written on papyrus began to be published in some abundance by the end of the nineteenth century; but even after substantial publication history, legal papyri have not received due attention from legal historians. This book blends the two usually distinct juristic scholarly traditions, classical and Egyptological, into a coherent presentation of the legal documents from Egypt from the Ptolemaic to the late Byzantine periods, all translated and accompanied by expert commentary. The volume will serve as an introduction to the rich legal sources from Egypt in the later phases of its ancient history as well as a tool to compare legal documents from other cultures.

The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire c.500–1492Edited by Jonathan ShepardUniversity of Cambridge

Byzantium lasted a thousand years, ruled to the end by self-styled ‘emperors of the Romans’. It underwent kaleidoscopic territorial and structural changes, yet recovered repeatedly from disaster: even after the near-impregnable Constantinople fell in 1204, variant forms of the empire reconstituted themselves. The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire tells the story, tracing political and military events, religious controversies and economic change. It offers clear, authoritative chapters on the main events and periods, with more detailed chapters on particular outlying regions, neighbouring powers or aspects of Byzantium. With aids such as a glossary, an alternative place-name table and references to English translations of sources, it will be valuable as an introduction. However, it also offers stimulating new approaches and important new fi ndings, making it essential reading for postgraduates and for specialists.Contributors: Jonathan Shepard, Andrew Louth, Zeev Rubin, R.

An Ancient Commentary on the Book of RevelationA Critical Edition of the Scholia in ApocalypsinEdited and translated by P. TzamalikosAristotle University, Thessaloniki

This is a new critical edition, with translation and commentary, of the Scholia in Apocalypsin, which were falsely attributed to Origen a century ago. They include extensive sections from Didymus the Blind’s lost Commentary on the Apocalypse (fourth century) and therefore counter the current belief that Oecumenius’ commentary (sixth century) was the most ancient. Professor Tzamalikos argues that their author was in fact Cassian the Sabaite, an erudite monk and abbot at the monastery of Sabas, the Great Laura, in Palestine. He was different from the alleged Latin author John Cassian, placed a century or so before the real Cassian. The Scholia attest to the tension between the imperial Christian orthodoxy of the sixth century and certain monastic circles, who drew freely on Hellenic ideas and on alleged ‘heretics’. They show that, during that period, Hellenism was a vigorous force inspiring not only pagan intellectuals, but also infl uential Christian quarters.2013 276 x 219 mm 484pp978-1-107-02694-0 Hardback US$200.00

The publication of this book fi nally ensures the availability of all three major collections which constitute the work, edited and translated into English. Richer in Tales than the ‘Alphabetic’ collection to which this is an appendix (both to be dated c.AD 500), the ‘Anonymous’ collection presented in this volume furnishes almost as much material for the study of the late antique world from which the monk sought to escape as it does for the monastic endeavour itself. More material continued to be added well into the seventh century and so the spread and gradual evolution of monasticism are illustrated here over a period of about two and a half centuries.2013 228 x 152 mm 658pp978-0-521-50988-6 Hardback US$145.00

A History of PythagoreanismEdited by Carl A. HuffmanDePauw University, Indiana

This is a comprehensive, authoritative and innovative account of Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism, one of the most enigmatic and infl uential philosophies in the West. In twenty-one chapters covering a timespan from the sixth century BC to the seventeenth century AD, leading scholars construct a number of different images of Pythagoras and his community, assessing current scholarship and offering new answers to central problems. Chapters are devoted to the early Pythagoreans, and the full breadth of Pythagorean thought is explored including politics, religion, music theory, science, mathematics and magic. Separate chapters consider Pythagoreanism in Plato, Aristotle, the Peripatetics and the later Academic tradition, while others describe Pythagoreanism in the historical tradition, in Rome and in the pseudo-Pythagorean writings. The three great lives of Pythagoras by Diogenes Laertius, Porphyry and Iamblichus are also discussed in detail, as is the signifi cance of Pythagoras for the Middle Ages and Renaissance.Contributors: Carl A.

With contributions by Daniel DaviesUniversity of Cambridge

and Vivian NuttonUniversity College London

All Galen’s surviving shorter works on psychology and ethics – including the recently discovered Avoiding Distress, and the neglected Character Traits, extant only in Arabic – are here presented in one volume in a new English translation, with substantial introductions and notes and extensive glossaries. Original and penetrating analyses are provided of the psychological and philosophical thought, both of the above and of two absolutely central works of Galenic philosophy, Affections and Errors and The Capacities of the Soul, by some of the foremost experts in the fi eld. Each treatise has also been subjected to fresh textual study, taking account of the latest scholarly developments, and is presented with accompanying textual discussions, adding greatly to the value and accuracy of the work without detracting from its accessibility to a wider readership. The volume thus makes a major contribution to the understanding of the ancient world’s most prominent doctor-philosopher in his intellectual context.Contributors: P. N.

Proclus: Commentary on Plato’s TimaeusVolume 5: Book 4Edited and translated by Dirk BaltzlyUniversity of Tasmania

Proclus’ commentary on Plato’s dialogue Timaeus is arguably the most important commentary on a text of Plato, offering unparalleled insights into eight centuries of Platonic interpretation. It has had an enormous infl uence on subsequent Plato scholarship. This edition offers the fi rst new English translation of the work for nearly two centuries, building on signifi cant recent advances in scholarship on Neoplatonic commentators. It provides an invaluable record of early interpretations of Plato’s dialogue, while also presenting Proclus’ own views on the meaning and signifi cance of Platonic philosophy. The present volume, the fi fth in the edition, presents Proclus’ commentary on the Timaeus, dealing with Proclus’ account of static and fl owing time; we see Proclus situating Plato’s account of the motions of the stars and planets in relation to the astronomical theories of his day. The volume includes a substantial introduction, as well as notes that will shed new light on the text.Proclus: Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus



Corinthian Wisdom, Stoic Philosophy, and the Ancient EconomyVolume 159Timothy A. BrookinsHouston Baptist University

This work re-examines the divisive wisdom in 1 Corinthians on the basis of consistent discourse similarities between the views of the Corinthians and the Stoic system of thought. Timothy A. Brookins argues that access to philosophical training moved the church’s wealthier members to confl ate

Paul’s message with Stoicism, resulting in deep disturbances within the church.Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series

NEW IN PAPERBACK

Byzantium in the Iconoclast Era, c.680–850A HistoryLeslie BrubakerUniversity of Birmingham

and John HaldonPrinceton University, New Jersey

Iconoclasm, the debate about the legitimacy of religious art that began in Byzantium around 720 and continued for nearly one hundred and twenty years, has long held a fi rm grip on the historical imagination. This is the fi rst book in English for over fi fty years to survey this most elusive and fascinating period in medieval history. It is also the fi rst book in any language to combine the expertise of two authors who are specialists in the written, archaeological and visual evidence from this period, a combination of particular importance to the iconoclasm debate. The authors have worked together to provide a comprehensive overview of the visual, written and other materials that together help clarify the complex issues of iconoclasm in Byzantium. In doing so they challenge many traditional assumptions about iconoclasm and set the period fi rmly in its broader political, cultural and social-economic context.

‘This is the most important book on Byzantium to appear in my lifetime. The authors admirably fulfi l their stated intention to discuss political recovery and institutional reshaping, the fi nal stages in the evolution of eastern Orthodox dogma, the emergence of a new political and social elite, the transformation of urban life and also urban-rural relations, and the generation of a new ‘medieval’ perspective on the past.’Thomas F. X. Noble, Journal of Interdisciplinary History

A team of long-established scientists describe how their cutting-edge investigative methods and the unique resource of the Egyptian Mummy Tissue Bank are being used for the new major international investigations of disease evolution and ancient Egyptian pharmacy and pharmacology. Their research gives us new insight into ancient Egypt.

‘ I found every chapter fascinating, giving real insight into the lives of the ancient Egyptians. … The work of the team at Manchester continues to be of great importance and their multidisciplinary approach is now being applied to international research projects on Egyptian mummies and the history of disease in general. Whilst this book will be absolutely essential for anyone interested in mummies, disease or medicine in ancient Egypt, the new perspective that this research brings to Egyptology will be of interest to the more general reader too.’Ancient Egypt

The Body in HistoryEurope from the Palaeolithic to the FutureEdited by John RobbUniversity of Cambridge

and Oliver J. T. HarrisUniversity of Leicester

This book is a long-term history of how the human body has been understood in Europe from the Palaeolithic to the present day. Drawing on the work of a team of experts, the authors examine how the body has been treated in life, art and death, and what this tells us about who we are today and who we have been in the past.

‘This book is amazing. Robb and Harris take us on a grand tour of the human body, tracing its diverse forms and attachments over a span of 50,000 years. Rarely do so many fascinating ideas come together in one place. For scholars who study the body in Africa, Asia, or the New World, the book offers a steady stream of comparative insights. As an experiment in multiscalar analysis, The Body in History is a tantalizing, indispensable model for future work.’Andrew Shryock, University of Michigan
