Hardback. Condizione: New. Adventurous history.Quintus Curtius was apparently a rhetorician who lived in the first century of the Roman empire and, early in the reign of Claudius (AD 41-54), wrote a history of Alexander the Great in ten books in clear and picturesque style for Latin readers. The first two books have not survived-our narrative begins with events in 333 BC-and there is material missing from books 5, 6, and 10. One of his main sources is Cleitarchus who, about 300 BC, had made Alexander's career a matter of marvelous adventure. Curtius is not a critical historian; and in his desire to entertain and to stress the personality of Alexander, he elaborates effective scenes, omits much that is important for history, and does not worry about chronology. But he does not invent things, except speeches and letters inserted into the narrative by traditional habit. "I copy more than I believe," he says. Three features of his story are narrative of exciting experiences, development of a hero's character, and a disposition to moralize. His history is one of the five extant works on which we rely for the career of Alexander the Great. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Quintus Curtius is in two volumes.…

Condizione: Sehr gut. xxxv, 429 S., 1 Faltkarte; 628 S., 1 Faltkarte; Text Englisch-Latein. Sehr guter Zustand. // Quintus Curtius Rufus war ein römischer Historiker der Kaiserzeit (vermutlich 1. Jahrhundert), der eine beinahe vollständig erhaltene Geschichte Alexanders des Großen in zehn Büchern verfasste. Die Lebensdaten des Curtius und die Abfassungszeit seines Werkes sind nicht bekannt. Weder Autor noch Werk finden in anderen antiken Schriften Erwähnung; erst mittelalterliche Handschriften nennen Curtius als den Verfasser der Alexandergeschichte. Infolgedessen schwanken die Datierungen von augusteischer Zeit bis hin zu Septimius Severus, teilweise auch bis Theodosius I. In der modernen Forschung wird mittlerweile vermutet, dass Curtius im 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. lebte; auch das Vokabular und der literarische Stil seines Werkes deuten auf diesen Zeitraum hin. /altphilologie ISBN: 9780674994058 la Gewicht in Gramm: 1100 8°; gebunden, rote Ganzleinenbände mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel und Deckelvignette.…
