Reprint, stapled. Condizione: Gut. pp. 160-169. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: One of the best-known examples of the attempts of the bishops of Rome to forward their pretensions to ecclesiastical hegemony came in 445, when Leo, the bishop of Rome, obtained from the emperor Valentinian III a rescript detailing the primacy of the see of Rome. The pretext for the issuance of this rescript lay in a quarrel which Leo was having with Hilarius, the bishop of Arles, who had been attempting to reestablish the influence of his own see in Gaul. The ramifications of the dispute with regard to the internal structure of the Gallic church, the relations between the Roman church and the Roman state, and the establishment of the primacy of the church of Rome were so far-reaching that the original causes of the feud have been either glossed over, or, more commonly, totally ignored. The dispute has been viewed either in a primarily ecclesiastical context, or, more recently, as a reflection of the dissension between the Gallic and Italian aristocracies. Hitherto, no attempt has been made to search out the purely Gallic origins of a conflict which only later was to have such startling repercussions. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…

Reprint, stapled. Condizione: Gut. pp. 232-247. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Binding a bit bumped, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: The history of western Europe in the Fifth Century was characterized by the accelerating disintegration of social and political unity. Not only were barbarian tribes showing a growing independence in enclaves in Gaul, Spain and Africa, but the very areas remaining under direct Roman control also were exhibiting an increasing particularism. Gaul and Italy, notably, became isolated from each other as their respective aristocracies came to concentrate more and more on local interests. By the time of Valentinian III it had become customary for Italians to hold office in Italy and Gauls in Gaul, and it became common for Gauls not to leave their homeland except on matters of business.

Reprint. Condizione: Gut. p. 151-159. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Binding a bit light-marred, author's name underlined on cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: Although the Vita Germani Autissiodorensis, written by Constantius of Lyons c. 480, gives much valuable information on the history of the first half of the fifth century, it contains no absolute dates, and the only means of dating the events in it is by relating them to dated events known from other sources. This short study will be concerned with establishing a date for Germanus activities during the last year of his life : his intercession on behalf of the Armoricans and his subsequent trip to Ravenna, where he died on July 31.

Reprint, stapled. Condizione: Gut. p. 95-109. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Author's name underlined, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: During the century between A.D. 420 and 520, Gallo-Roman aristocrats indulged extensively in the composition of literary works in general and personal letters in particular: some 475 letters written by some 45 Gauls are still extant from this period.1 In spite of this widespread popularity of epistolography, however, past scholarship has tended to place heavy emphasis on the letters of Sidonius Apollinaris alone, and to give short shrift to the letters of other writers, with the result that patterns of correspondence common to several of the Gallic epistolographers have remained unnoticed.2 In this study, an analysis of the correspondence, and related works, of several Gallic authors of this time will indicate that ones close literary ties tended to be with ones relatives, whether by blood or by marriage, and that literary and family circles tended to overlap. It will be possible, furthermore, to specify with a greater exactitude the particular degrees of relationship among several of the most famous and influential of the Gallic writers of the period.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Skin-clad barbarians ransacking Rome remains a popular image of the 'decline and fall' of the Roman Empire, but why, when, and how the Empire actually fell are still matters of debate among students of classical history. In this pioneering study, Ralph W. Mathisen examines the 'fall' in one part of the western Empire, Gaul, to better understand the shift from Roman to Germanic power that occurred in the region during the fifth century AD.Mathisen uncovers two apparently contradictory trends. First, he finds that barbarian settlement did provoke significant changes in Gaul, including the disappearance of most secular offices under the Roman imperial administration, the appropriation of land and social influence by the barbarians, and a rise in the overall level of violence. Yet he also shows that the Roman aristocrats proved remarkably adept at retaining their rank and status. How did the aristocracy hold on Mathisen rejects traditional explanations and demonstrates that rather than simply opposing the barbarians, or passively accepting them, the Roman aristocrats directly responded to them in various ways. Some left Gaul. Others tried to ignore the changes wrought by the newcomers. Still others directly collaborated with the barbarians, looking to them as patrons and holding office in barbarian governments. Most significantly, however, many were willing to change the criteria that determined membership in the aristocracy. Two new characteristics of the Roman aristocracy in fifth-century Gaul were careers in the church and greater emphasis on classical literary culture.These findings shed new light on an age in transition. Mathisen's theory that barbarian integration into Roman society was a collaborative process rather than a conquest is sure to provoke much thought and debate. All historians who study the process of power transfer from native to alien elites will want to consult this work. 294 pp. Englisch.…
