Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Later Roman Britain -- Charting the end of Roman rule in Britain, Later Roman Britain gives an overall impression of the beginning of the so-called 'Dark Ages' of British history, the transitional period which saw the breakdown of Roman administration and the beginnings of Saxon settlement. It traces the flourishing of Romano-British society and the pressures upon it which produced its eventual fragmentation, looking at the province's barbarian neighbours and the way the defence of Roman Britain was organized against the many threats to its security. The final chapters, using mainly the findings of recent archaeological discoveries, assess the initial arrival of the Saxon settlers, and provide pointers to the ways in which the continuity of life between late Roman and early Saxon England was maintained. This gives a fascinating glimpse of a period where historical sources are scarce, but where changes fundamental to the formation of modern Britain began to take place.

Condizione: Gut. X, 320 Seiten / p., 24 Abb. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Gregory the Great, whose reign spanned the years from 590 to 604 AD, was one of the most remarkable figures in the early medieval world. Aristocrat, administrator, teacher and scholar, he ascended the throne of St Peter at a time of acute crisis for the Roman church and for Italian society. His reign marks a watershed in that shadowy period during which the ancient world became the medieval world, and Gregory himself fascinatingly embodies all the contradictions and implications of that watershed. A devoted adherent of the Eastern Roman Empire, he nevertheless considerably advanced the power and prestige of the papacy in both Rome itself and the West in general, thus anticipating the time when the papacy came to inherit the mantle of the old Roman Empire. -- This study, the first in English since 1912, revises the traditional picture of Pope Gregory in the light of all the research that has taken place since that time. It looks at his achievements in various fields, and describes how he organized both the central and estate administration of the papacy. He waged unremitting war on heresy and schism, and was Responsible for sending out the mission which converted the Anglo-Saxons of England. Gregory also pioneered a new western pastoral tradition in learning, popularized and promoted monasticism, and supervised and trained the Italian episcopate. -- Jeffrey Richards points out that Gregory was both a Christian and a Roman, a conservative and a pioneer, and just as his reign looked forward to a medieval world of monastic orders, emergent states and a monarchical papacy, it also looked back to a vanishing world of imperial order, discipline and unity, in which Roman church and Roman Empire were one and undivided. It is perhaps to this latter world that Gregory most truly belonged, as the last representative of those Roman senators whose fortitude and energy he so notably emulated, thus earning the epitaph Consul of God.
