This is a print on demand publication. This study developed in the course of preparing a collection of all the epigraphical evidence relating to the sanctuary of Demeter and Kore at Eleusis. The author soon realized that many problems connected with the priesthoods could be treated more conveniently in a separate study than in the commentaries on individual inscriptions. The proper scope of the separate study naturally appeared to be all Eleusinian priesthoods and sacred offices. The scheme he has adopted is a prosopographical account, in chronological order, of all the known incumbents of each priesthood, with an emphasis on certain aspects: qualifications for a priesthood, manner of selection, length of incumbency, official functions and duties, rank or importance relative to other priesthoods in the cult, social position, participation in civil life and in other festivals or cults, and religious dress. The evidence not connected with specific priests or priestesses has been interspersed chronologically among them; but there are occasional departures from this procedure where it was more useful to discuss in one place all the evidence on a given topic (e.g., religious dress).

Regular price

The friendship between Lafayette & Washington began slowly but had developed fully by late 1777. By the time Lafayette’s military service in America had come to an end, they were good friends. During the course of their correspondence Lafayette discussed all manner of public & private events & aspirations with Washington. Thus his letters furnish an intimate & revealing account of great events & of the great & near-great men who were a part of them. These letters were first published in 1944 in a privately printed edition of 400 copies. The present editors have re-examined the manuscripts used for all the letters & have corrected the earlier reading wherever historical accuracy requires it. A new preface presents revised interpretations of some of the letters.

Maimonides’ treatises on Asthma (19643), Regimen of Health (1964), Poisons (1966), Hemorrhoids (1969), Responsa (1969), Aphorisms (1970-71), and Sexual Intercourse (1974).

For this purpose the Library was fortunate to obtain the services of Daythal Kendall, then a graduate student in the University of Pennsylvania, whose own research on the language of the Takelma Indians eminently qualified him for the undertaking. As he states in his introduction, Dr. Kendall has not only followed the format of the predecessor vol., but has introduced into his own text cross references to the “Guide.”

Italian Weights and Measures
Regular price
$60.00
Save $-60.00
Unlike most metrological systems throughout W. Europe, the Italian developed during the Middle Ages (MA) & Early Modern era without any ref. to a commonly accepted set of nat.-ethnic standards. Italy, with its many kingdoms, duchies, communes, etc., was never able to attain any level of metrological standardization outside the confines of severely restricted, small, independent, political jurisdictions. Not until unification in 1871, were Italian weights & measures (W&M) given a totally nat. character. And it was the metric system, & not a conglomerate of units from the old, that finally accomplished the task. This book presents a quantitative compilation, synthesis, & analysis of the principal pre-metric W&M employed throughout Italy & in those areas controlled or influenced by Italy from the Later MA to the age of metrication in the later 19th cent.

This is a print on demand publication. Of all the British “amateur ambassadors” none was more distinguished than Philip Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian (1882-1940). His tenure of office was brief -- Aug. 1939 to Dec. 1940 -- but it coincided with a crucial period in British & U.S. history. Recently-opened archives enable one to fill in some important gaps in the history of his life & achievements & to set Lothian’s work in the context of British & U.S. policy-making. This book will shows the strengths & weaknesses of a non-career diplomat. In the end, the successes outweighed the failures, as is shown by examining Lothian’s role as intermediary between Churchill & Roosevelt in the two episodes in Anglo-Amer. diplomacy during 1940, the Destroyers-for-Bases Deal & the origins of Lend-Lease.

In 1982 the number of species of copepods known to be associated with marine invertebrates was estimated to be about 1,300. This review encompasses all copepods, ranging from loosely associated to endoparasitic forms, which are associated with Actiniaria (sea anemones) & Corallimorpharia (anemone-like forms). For each of the 42 species of copepods information is given on the host, the site on the host when known, & the locality. New species are fully described. For known species brief notes are provided.

Also, it follows up on some of the implications of this relationship. To do this, summaries are provided of comparative Dravidian & of Elamite grammar. The methodology employed is traditional, philologically based, comparative linguistics. While this work contains a fairly detailed & thorough discussion of comparative Dravidian & of Elamite grammar, it is not a comparative grammar or even the beginnings of one. Background introductions in archaeology & history are provided for those who are unfamiliar with the ancient Near East. This work has one goal: to prove beyond doubt that Elamite & Dravidian are cognate. Illustrations.

Famine Plot Persuasion in Eighteenth-Century France
Regular price
$40.00
Save $-40.00
This is a print on demand publication. The French Revolution seethed with rumors of plots instigated by various groups from aristocrats to brigands. Many of the rumors had to do with the food supply, especially with grain, from which the vast majority of Frenchmen derived most of their nourishment. These were called “famine plots,” by which was meant a secret machination to starve the people in order to achieve certain ends. Like many attitudes & practices associated with the Revolution, the famine plot persuasion was a way of making sense of the world that was deeply rooted in the collective consciousness & the material, moral & political environment of the old regime. When there was a serious & protracted disruption of the normal grain & bread supply, consumers found reasons to question the authenticity of the dearth. The conviction grew that the crisis had been contrived, that there was a criminal conspiracy afoot against the people, that popular suffering was needless, & that the plotters somehow had to be resisted. This study examines the dearths of 1725-1726, 1738-1741, 1747 & 1751-1752, & the crises of 1765-1770 & 1771-1775.

An analytical essay examines the theoretical and computational developments in almanac-making in the period that bridges between Kepler and Laplace.

Recent historians, however, have come to discover that Roederer’s career was long, varied, & significant. This study of Roederer’s political thought & practice during the decade of the French Revolution places some of these recent findings of his career in the broader context of his life & provides new insights into his motivation & ultimate political significance. Roederer’s political thought & practice from his youth through to the coup d’etat of brumaire are explored in an effort to analyze & understand the interaction of events & ideas that shaped his political career.

German Socialist Party

Of all the political parties in German history none was more ambivalent than the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Beneath the misleading surplice of Marxism, the SDP was basically only a lower class reformist party. This study shows that, far from continuing revolution, very realistic, ordinary goals of pacification & recovery after WW1 determined the tactics of the SDP. A sober understanding of the importance of foreign policy for the post-war goals of Social Democracy, coupled with the fact that it could not control an electoral majority, led it to abandon its anti-collaborationism of imperial times. By 1930 the SDP was so enmeshed in foreign policy, collaboration, & toleration that it was powerless to summon the workers to battle against Nazism. Illus.

Save $-40.00
This vol. provides a new analysis of the sources concerning the clash between Philip the Fair and Boniface VIII. Indeed, any attempt to study the constitutional and political position of the French clergy during the critical years at the turn of the 13th century must include an assessment of the ecclesiastical assemblies at which many clerical decisions were taken and through which the clerical voice was being heard. Although much progress has been made in the sorting and listing of materials relating to French diocesan synods, prior to this publication there had been no comparable sifting of the sources for the provincial councils.

An account of the life and circumstances of a little known Augustinian friar with an interesting career, Johannes Klenkok. Author Christopher Ocker attempts to reconstruct his biography more accurately than has been achieved up to now, but in so doing he considers as much as possible the organizations and habits that Klenkok shared with those among his contemporaries of a similar station in life, namely, mendicant friars. The sources led Ocker to pay particular attention to the character of education within the mendicant orders and to Klenkok’s campaign against the “Sachsenspiegel,” the first written code of traditional German laws.

Supplement to the Tuckerman Tables
Regular price
$95.00
Save $-95.00
This is a supplement to the planetary, lunar and solar tables produced by Bryant Tuckerman (1962, 1964). These tables have proved an invaluable aid to historians of astronomy. An important usage is the dating of ancient and medieval astronomical observations, but the tables also have wide application in determining the accuracy of early measurements and calculations. This supplementary volume owes its origin to the discovery by the authors of significant errors in Tuckerman’s tabular positions of Mars. They made a comparison between Tuckerman’s positions for the Sun and planets and those computed from an integrated ephemeris. Only in the case of the longitude of Mars were errors found to be serious.

Dr. Susan E. Klepp, a Mellon Fellow in Bibliography at the APS in 1986-87, suggested to the Librarian that the publication of the APS collection of Phila. mortality bills from 1722 to 1859, together with those from other repositories which APS does not possess, would constitute a major research resource for students of early American and comparative history. Dr. Klepp has not only executed that task skillfully, but she has given us a fine brief history of the study of the vital statistics of Philadelphia together with an annotated bibliography of secondary works. Contains over 200 broadsides.

The Hopi are the westernmost group of the Pueblo Indians of the southwestern U.S. They live on a high, dry plateau in northern Arizona, and have been a sedentary, agricultural people. This study establishes the stylistic parameters of song in a particular culture. Author List determines what is meant when a Hopi person states that two or more performances are those of the same song. To what extent can speech sounds, pitches, and durational values, or the forms of which they are the constituents, differ and the performances still be considered to be those of the same song? List transcribed and compared 8 recordings of performances of a particular kachina dance song and 11 recordings of performance of a particular lullaby, made from 1903 to 1984. Illus.
