    par Laurel Fulkerson, Jeffrey Tatum ...

This readable new history of Latin literature covers the full span of the Roman ... En savoir plus

    Modifié par Tristan E. Franklinos, Laurel Fulkerson ...
    Collections series Pseudepigrapha Latina

  • New Science

    par Giambattista Vico ...
    Traduit par David Marsh ...
    Barely acknowledged in his lifetime, the New Science of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) is an astonishingly perceptive and ambitious attempt to decipher the history, mythology and laws of the ancient world. Discarding the Renaissance notion of the classical as an idealised model for the modern, it argues that the key to true understanding of the past lies in accepting that the customs and emotional ...
