····· lezzter Preis 16.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Die Alten sagen uns mit ihrem tiefen historischen Erfahrungswissen, warum Staaten untergehen. Daraus lässt sich ein überzeitlich gültiges Raster von Untergangsformen entwickeln. Die Klassiker der Geschichtsschreibung haben uns deutlich vorgegeben und mühsam herausgearbeitet, wann und wie Herrschaften entstehen und wann sie untergehen, unter welchen Bedingungen sie gut sind und unter welchen schlecht. Das soll hier einleitend referiert und zugleich mit einigen historischen Beispielen exemplarisch unterfüttert werden. Wichtig für den Untergang ist dabei oft, dass die mythischen Grundlagen eines Gemeinwesens schwinden, wie sie Gemeinsinn und der geteilte Glaube an eine gemeinsame Zukunft darstellen. ····· 10361191198
····· lezzter Preis 60.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Das vorliegende Werk bietet einen umfassenden wissenschaftlichen Kommentar zum ersten Teil einer der komplexesten und wichtigsten Reden Ciceros (eine Fortsetzung ist in Arbeit). Die Rede Pro Cluentio mit ihrer Geschichte über `Sex und Crime` bietet über ihren literarischen Wert hinaus einen einmaligen Einblick in die römische Lebenswelt der späten Republik, die als Hintergrund der Literatur und Dichtung der Zeit von höchstem Interesse ist. Der Kommentar von Valeria Patimo erschließt die Rede in sprachlich- stilistischer, rhetorischer und historischer Hinsicht umfassend. Er ist ein unverzichtbares Arbeitsinstrument nicht nur für jeden an Cicero und der römischen Rhetorik, sondern für jeden an der römischen Literatur und Geschichte der späten Republik Interessierten. ,,Pro Cluentio has been relatively neglected. Indeed, one has had to go back well over a century to find a commentary on it. Now V. M. Patimo is preparing an introduction and commentary, of which this is the first installment...Patimo deserves thanks for collecting extensive material bearing on the study of the speech and providing some good interpretations.` A.R. Dyck in Bran Mawr Classical Review. ····· 10361191085
····· lezzter Preis 16.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Der Autor untersucht bildliche Darstellungen von archäologischen Ausgrabungen zwischen 1840 und 1940. Der Titel `Ein Bild der Zerstörung` bezeichnet das Paradoxon jeder archäologischen Ausgrabung schlechthin: Wissen kann nur mittels Zerstörung des zu untersuchenden Befundes gewonnen werden. Zur Bewahrung dieses Wissens ist deshalb der Einsatz von Bildmedien notwendig, doch jeder Abbildung, auch der scheinbar objektiven photographischen Dokumentation, ist natürlich eine Interpretation des Gesehenen inhärent. Das Buch beleuchtet, wie sehr die Entwicklung der Archäologie in Wechselwirkung mit den Bildmedien Zeichnung, Stich, Aquarell, Lithographie und Photographie steht. ····· 10361171071
····· lezzter Preis 2.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray In judging the `The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire` it should carefully be observed that it falls into two parts which are heterogeneous in the method of treatment. The first part, a little more than five-eighths of the work, supplies a very full history of 460 years (A.D. 180641) the second and smaller part is a summary history of about 800 years (A.D. 6411453) in which certain episodes are selected for fuller treatment and so made prominent. To the first part unstinted praise must be accorded it may be said that, with the materials at the author`s disposition, it hardly admitted of improvement, except in trifling details. But the second, notwithstanding the brilliancy of the narrative and the masterly art in the grouping of events, suffers from a radical defect which renders it a misleading guide. The author designates the story of the later empire at Constantinople (after Heraclius) as `a uniform tale of weakness and misery,` a judgment which is entirely false and in accordance with this doctrine, he makes the empire, which is his proper subject, merely a string for connecting great movements which affected it, such as the Saracen conquests, the Crusades, the Mongol invasions, the Turkish conquests. He failed to bring out the momentous fact that up to the 12th century the empire was the bulwark of Europe against the East, nor did he appreciate its importance in preserving the heritage of Greek civilization. He compressed into a single chapter the domestic history and policy of the emperors from the son of Heraclius to Isaac Angelus and did no justice to the remarkable ability and the indefatigable industry shown in the service of the state by most of the sovereigns from Leo III. to Basil II. He did not penetrate into the deeper causes underlying the revolutions and palace intrigues. His eye rested only on superficial characteristics which have served to associate the name `Byzantine` with treachery, cruelty, bigotry and decadence. It was reserved for Finlay to depict, with greater knowledge and a juster perception, the lights and shades of Byzantine history. Thus the later part of the Decline and Fall, while the narrative of certain episodes will always be read with profit, does not convey a true idea of the history of the empire or of its significance in the history of Europe. It must be added that the pages on the Slavonic peoples and their relations to the empire are conspicuously insufficient but it must be taken into account that it was not till many years after Gibbon`s death that Slavonic history began to receive due attention, in consequence of the rise of competent scholars among the Slavs themselves. This is volume twelve out of twelve. ····· 10361148783

It must be added that the pages on the Slavonic peoples and their relations to the empire are conspicuously insufficient but it must be taken into account that it was not till many years after Gibbon`s death that Slavonic history began to receive due attention, in consequence of the rise of competent scholars among the Slavs themselves. This is volume one out of twelve. ····· 10361148772

Die Frage, ob sie auf historisch-geografischen Tatsachen beruht oder eine Fiktion ist, hat schon viele Generationen beschäftigt. Einen besonderen Reiz hat sie für die späteren Interpreten dadurch bekommen, dass die Insel in Folge einer weltweiten Katastrophe an nur einem Tag im Meer versunken sein soll. Diejenigen, die Insel und Katastrophe für historisch halten, haben natürlich die Beweislast und müssen ihre Hypothesen historisch-geografisch und naturwissenschaftlich untermauern. ····· 10361121436

Das alles glaube ich mit größter Genauigkeit geschildert zu haben." Flavius Josephus Flavius Josephus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten jüdischen Historiker. In den " Antiquitates Judaicae" , den " Jüdischen Altertümern" , dokumentiert er in 20 Büchern die 5000-jährige jüdische Geschichte - angefangen bei der Weltschöpfung bis zum Ausbruch des Jüdischen Aufstandes im Jahr 66 n. Chr. Sein Werk ist nicht nur ein beeindruckendes Beispiel fundierter Geschichtsschreibung, es ist auch nahezu die einzige Quelle für die Ereignisse des 1. Jahrhunderts vor und nach unserer Zeitrechnung. Mit Paragraphenzählung nach Flavii Josephi Opera Recognovit Benedictus Niese (Editio Minor). Die " Antiquitates Judaicae" des Flavius Josephus sind von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Geschichte des antiken Judentums. Dem römisch-jüdischen Historiker gelingt hier nicht allein das Kunststück, 5000 Jahre jüdische Geschichte von der Urzeit bis zum Jahr 66 n.Chr. in lebendig-eleganten und mitreißenden Schilderungen minuziös wieder aufleben zu lassen. Für die Zeitspanne vom 1. Jahrhundert vor und nach unserer Zeitrechnung - jene Phase innerhalb der jüdischen Geschichte, die sich von der Hasmonäerzeit bis über die ersten christlichen Jahrzehnte erstreckt -, ist sein Werk darüber hinaus die nahezu einzige Quelle, da Josephus sich hier auf andere, der Nachwelt nicht erhaltene Texte und Urkunden stützt. Wichtige Quellen für die 20 Bücher der " Antiquitates Judaicae" sind daneben die Bibel, die Apokryphen und der Midrasch. Außerdem beruft Josephus sich auf zahlreiche griechische Historiker und Gelehrte wie etwa Strabon, Poseidonios und Nikolaos von Damaskus. Der vorliegenden Edition liegt die Übersetzung von Dr. Heinrich Clementz zu Grunde. Wissenschaftlich betreut und durchgehend mit der Paragraphenzählung nach Benedikt Niese versehen wurde die Ausgabe von Prof. Dr. Michael Tilly. ····· 10361106887

Chr., den er selbst als Augenzeuge im Gefolge des Heerführers Titus miterlebte. Flankiert wird dieses Standardwerk von zwei kleineren Schriften des Josephus: Der Selbstbiographie, in der er minutiös von seiner Herkunft, seinem Werdegang und seinen Kriegserlebnissen berichtet, sowie der Verteidigungsschrift Gegen Apion, die gegen judenfeindliche antike Autoren Stellung bezieht. Für die Erhellung der Geschichte des Judentums im 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. sind die erhaltenen Werke des jüdischen Chronisten Flavius Josephus von unschätzbarem Wert. Im Jüdischen Krieg, seinem ersten Werk, berichtet Josephus akribisch von den Ereignissen, die beginnend mit der Besetzung Jerusalems um 174 v. Chr. zu dem langen und entbehrungsreichen Kampf der Juden gegen die Fremdherrschaft Roms führten. Daran angeschlossen sind zwei kleinere Schriften, von Josephus, die Selbstbiographie und die Verteidigungsschrift Gegen Apion. Sie zeigen, dass der Historiograph zugleich ein Talent für den gallig-amüsanten, scharfzüngigen Ton besitzt. Wissenschaftlich betreut, mit der Paragraphenzählung nach Benedikt Niese, einem Vorwort sowie einem ausführlichen Namenregister versehen wurde die Ausgabe von Prof. Dr. Michael Tilly. ····· 10361106883

Lange Zeit vermisst, wurden sie im 14. Jahrhundert von dem italienischen Humanisten Francesco Petrarca wieder entdeckt. Dieses Briefcorpus wurde in vier Schriften eingeteilt: Briefe an den Verleger Atticus in 16 Büchern, an den Bruder Quintus in 3 Büchern, an den Freund Brutus in 2 Büchern und an weitere nahe stehende Personen in 16 Büchern. Die Briefe weisen zwar dieselbe schöne Sprache auf wie Ciceros übrige Werke, doch zeigen sie, da es sich um echte Gebrauchsbriefe, nicht um geschönte Fassungen oder Kunstbriefe handelt, auch die menschliche, unvollkommene Seite des Staatsmannes, der als homo novus (politischer Aufsteiger, der nicht aus einer Senatorenfamilie stammte) alle römischen Staatsämter suo anno, d. h. sofort mit Erreichung des Mindestalters, ausübte. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Briefe aus dem Exil und die Briefe an seine Ehefrau Terentia und die gemeinsamen Kinder, die in der vorliegenden Auswahl chronologisch und mit einer Einleitung sowie Erläuterungen zum Verständnis dargeboten werden. ····· 10361106844
für 8.99€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray " Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius (um 475 und 480 - etwa 524 /526) schuf mit seinem Hauptwerk, Trost der Philosophie (Consolatio philosophiae) eines der letzten bedeutendsten philosophischen Werke der Spätantike. Es entstand im Jahr 524 und ist einer der wichtigsten Texte der frühchristlichen Philosophie und Theologie, das großen Einfluss auf die spätere Scholastik ausübte. Boëthius verfasste das Werk, während er im Gefängnis saß. Auf Befehl des Ostgotenkönigs Theoderich war er von einem senatorischen Gericht wegen Hochverrats zum Tode verurteilt worden und wartete nun auf seine Hinrichtung. Das Buch erzählt, wie ihm in dieser Situation die allegorische Gestalt der Philosophie erscheint. Es entsteht ein Dialog, in dem Boëthius die Rolle des Schülers, die Philosophie die Rolle der Lehrmeisterin spielt. Auf diese Weise wird eine Reihe von grundlegenden philosophisch-theologischen Problemen behandelt, wie etwa die Theodizee, die Definition des Glücks, oder das Problem der Willensfreiheit und insbesondere die Vereinbarkeit von freiem Willen mit der göttlichen Allwissenheit und Vorsehung.

Livius Patavinus (um 59 v. Chr. - um 17 n. Chr.) im Proömium seines monumentalen Werkes über römische Geschichte ab urbe condita (von der Gründung der Stadt an).

Chr. bis zu seiner eigenen Lebenszeit unter Kaiser Augustus ereignete. Erhalten sind aus dem Gesamtwerk die Bücher 1-10 (753 bis 293 v. Chr.) und 21-45 (218 bis 167 v. Chr.), alles Übrige nur in Inhaltsangaben, Fragmenten und Zusammenfassungen.
