OF NEWTON HALL, HADDINGTON; ALSO THE CABINET OF MONSIEUR 1)E CARNEIEFF, OF ST. PETEESBURG. f — V_/ // )G%o urn Jlajjs of First Day. Monday, March 18 Second Day . Tuesday, „ 19 Third Day. Wednesday, „ 20 ~ NOTICE. THE AUTHOR OF THE UNDERMENTIONED WORK having stated his intention of giving what pecuniary benefit may arise from it3 issue to “ The Booksellers’ Provident Society and Retreat,” “ The Literary Fund,” “ The Printers’ Provident Society,” and “ The Royal Dramatic College,” Desires to make Known, that THE IMPRESSION, Six Hundred Copies, WILL BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION ON MAY 1, 1861, at the House of Business of the Author, by HIS PARTNER, MR. JOHN WILKINSON, in like manner as the 230 copies of The Principia Typographica, 3 vols. 4to. The present Work, consisting of nearly 250 pages of Text, in Imperial Quarto, with 25 or more Plates of Fac-similes, is now nearly finished printing, and will be entitled, RAMBLINGS IN THE ELUCIDATION op THE AUTOGRAPH OF MILTON, BY SAMUEL LEIGH SOTHEBY, F.S.A. It is a great relief to the mind, after many years of untiring perseverance upon one subject, to find another of a less laborious nature, yet equally congenial to one’s peculiar taste, as a temporary substitute for a pursuit which, though interrupted, has been the pleasurable amusement of earlier days. I allude to my “ Bibliographical Account of the Printed Worlcs of the English Poets to the period of the Restoration,” a pursuit commenced at school forty years ago. Such has been the case in the prosecution of the researches which will form the subject of the volume announced; a work which would not have been undertaken but for the kindness received from the Rev. Dr. Bandinel in superintending the execution of fac-simile of the autograph inscription in the copy of the first edition of the “ Poems of Milton,” presented by the Poet to Dr. Rous.—The facilities afforded for the examination, at Trinity College, Cambridge, of that far-famed volume containing the Juvenile Poems in the Autograph op the Poet, followed by the kind permission of Trinity College, to make use of the volume, under the assisting inspection of those in whose charge it is kept.— The immediate acquiescence on the part of Sir John Romilly, the Master of the Rolls, to allow of fac-similes to be made of various portions of the original Manuscript of “ De Doctrind Christiana,” preserved in the State Paper Office, where I have had the kind aid of Mr. Lechmere and Mr. Lemon; and, lastly, though not least, the uniform courtesy, in my inquiries, received from Sir Frederick Madden in the MS. department at the British Museum. The text will be illustrated with ten plates of fac-similes from the Autograph Poems of Milton, preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, including the first page of “ Arcades ; ” “ Comus ; ” “ Lycidas ; ” “ First Design of Paradise Lost ; ” “ Designs of British Tragedies," two pages; “ Sonnets," &c.; numerous other plates of Autograph Documents in the Bodleian Library, Oxford; the State Paper Office ; the British Museum, and many other sources, including above Ten Specimens by the PROCESSES OF THE ELECTRO-PRINTING BLOCK COMPANY. On the upper side of the outer covers of the binding will be a Design, by J L. Tupper, emblematical of Paradise Lost, the other side having one of Paradise Regained. On the inner side of the cover will be Two Photograph Portraits of Milton—one from the original cast taken from the life about 1654,—the only one taken. The Bust has been most carefully preserved at Christ’s,—Milton’s own,—College, Cambridge, the Authorities thereof having graciously allowed me to make use of it. The other portrait, with the kind permission of William Baker, Esq., of Bayfordbury, will be from the little known but beau¬ tiful Crayon Drawing, taken fom life about 1666. Unlike my late work, “ The Principia Typographica,” I am induced to think that the one here announced, issued at the moderate price of £2. 12s. 6<L at the utmost, will yield a profit; but, as I do not desire to “put money in my purse ” by my literary amusements*, being quite content with the emoluments of my business by the kind support of the public, and valuable aid of my Partner and Staff, it is my intention to devote whatever pecuniary advantage may arise from the sale of the announced issue of the work to the funds of the several benevolent institutions above mentioned.

  • Mountainous Crimea: a Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization
    Mountainous Crimea: A Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization Natalia G. Novičenkova Mountainous Crimea, Taurica, was a region separated from the ancient cen- ters of the peninsula and the communication lines connecting Chersonesos and the Bosporan Kingdom. This region is not particularly well studied and therefore it has been impossible to trace its development in Antiquity, and to clarify its role in the history of ancient Crimea as a whole. The geographical conditions of the Mountainous Crimea determined that the ancient population of this area dwelled almost entirely on the main moun- tain range. From a modern point of view it seems unlikely that a mountain ridge could unite a population into a single ethnic group instead of splitting it into several distinct segments. Yet our evidence from Antiquity suggests the opposite. Thus, for example, Plinius the Elder wrote that the Scytho-Taurians inhabited the range (Plin. NH 4.85). This evidence has evoked bewilderment among scholars1 because this part of Crimea has the harshest weather condi- tions and is covered with snow from November to May almost every year. The main mountain range of Crimea is formed by a chain of plateaus situ- ated at about 1,000-1,500 m above sea level. Here an ancient road system was laid out uniting all the mountain passes into a single system of communica- tion.2 The plateaus with their alpine meadows served as excellent summer pastures. They were effectively protected against any threats from outside. The Taurians, who inhabited the mountain range, were not obliged to strug- gle for the steppe’s nomad territories or to drive their cattle for hundreds of kilometers.

  • Ptolemaic Foundations in Asia Minor and the Aegean As the Lagids’ Political Tool
    ELECTRUM * Vol. 20 (2013): 57–76 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.13.004.1433 PTOLEMAIC FOUNDATIONS IN ASIA MINOR AND THE AEGEAN AS THE LAGIDS’ POLITICAL TOOL Tomasz Grabowski Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków Abstract: The Ptolemaic colonisation in Asia Minor and the Aegean region was a signifi cant tool which served the politics of the dynasty that actively participated in the fi ght for hegemony over the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea basin. In order to specify the role which the settlements founded by the Lagids played in their politics, it is of considerable importance to establish as precise dating of the foundations as possible. It seems legitimate to acknowledge that Ptolemy II possessed a well-thought-out plan, which, apart from the purely strategic aspects of founding new settlements, was also heavily charged with the propaganda issues which were connected with the cult of Arsinoe II. Key words: Ptolemies, foundations, Asia Minor, Aegean. Settlement of new cities was a signifi cant tool used by the Hellenistic kings to achieve various goals: political and economic. The process of colonisation was begun by Alex- ander the Great, who settled several cities which were named Alexandrias after him. The process was successfully continued by the diadochs, and subsequently by the follow- ing rulers of the monarchies which emerged after the demise of Alexander’s state. The new settlements were established not only by the representatives of the most powerful dynasties: the Seleucids, the Ptolemies and the Antigonids, but also by the rulers of the smaller states. The kings of Pergamum of the Attalid dynasty were considerably active in this fi eld, but the rulers of Bithynia, Pontus and Cappadocia were also successful in this process.1 Very few regions of the time remained beyond the colonisation activity of the Hellenistic kings.

  • The Bosporan Army” and “The Army on the Bosporus” in the Time of Mithradates Vi Eupator, King of Pontus

XXVII, PL ISSN 0860-0007 MARIUSZ MIELCZAREK “THE BOSPORAN ARMY” AND “THE ARMY ON THE BOSPORUS” IN THE TIME OF MITHRADATES VI EUPATOR, KING OF PONTUS Abstract: During the reign of Mithradates VI Eupator, king of Pontus, the Cimmerian Bosporus was incorporated to the kingdom of Pontus. Detachments of the Mithradatic army were located on the Bosporus. The military forces of which the Bosporans disposed of also stayed on the Bosporus. The organization of the military forces as well as soldiers’ arms and armour are discussed. Special attention is devoted to the epigraphic material which is evidently the most important piece of evidence relating to the military history of the Bosporus of Mithradatic times.

He defeated the Persian king Darius at Gaugamela, advanced to a welcoming Babylon, and progressed to Persepolis where he burned Xerxes palace supposedly in retaliation for Persias invasions of Greece some 150 years previously (Diodorus 17.72.1-6). Thus one empire gave way to another by a different name. So began the Greek empires that dominated Judea/Israel for the next two hundred or so years, the focus of this chapter. Is a postcolonial discussion of these empires possible and what might it highlight? Considerable dif�culties stand in the way. One is the weight of conventional analyses and disciplinary practices which have framed the discourse with emphases on the various roles of the great men, the ruling state, military battles, and Greek settlers, and have paid relatively little regard to the dynamics of imperial power from the perspectives of native inhabitants, the impact on peasants and land, and poverty among non-elites, let alone any reciprocal impact between colonizers and colon- ized.

    DOV GERA PHILONIDES THE EPICUREAN AT COURT: EARLY CONNECTIONS aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 125 (1999) 77–83 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 77 PHILONIDES THE EPICUREAN AT COURT: EARLY CONNECTIONS* P. Herc. 1044 was first published at the turn of this century by W. Crönert, and has since been re- published with extensive new readings and commentary.1 Although very fragmentary, it is a major source for the life of the mathematician and Epicurean philosopher Philonides. Information gleaned from this papyrus and from three inscriptions which relate to the Epicurean and to members of his family has helped to establish his descent and background. Philonides was the eldest son of a respected citizen of Laodiceia-on-Sea in Syria, who was affiliated to the Seleucid court. Both father and son shared the same name and the son had a brother named Dicaearchus.2 Significant improvements in reading and restoration of the papyrus can still be made, e.g. recently Habicht has supplemented the name of Menochares, the epistolagraphos of Demetrius I in lines 2–3 of fr. 10.3 Of special interest to us is the approximate date in which the Epicurean, following in his father’s footsteps, joined the Seleucid court. The papyrus specifically names Antiochus IV Epiphanes (fr. 30) and his nephew Demetrius I Soter (frs. 10, 27), and it is clear that Philonides was a contemporary of both kings.4 The epigraphic material is in general agreement with this. Dicaearchus, Philonides’ brother, was honored by the Delphians for his help to Delphian theoroi who sought an interview with a ‘King Antiochus’ in Syria.

    Handout: Daniel Lesson 7 Daniel 11:2-45 covers the period from the Persian Age to Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV in three parts: 1. The Persian kings from Cambyses to Xerxes I: 529-465 BC (11:2) 2. Alexander the Great and the division of his empire: 336-323 BC (11:3-4). 3. Battles of the Greek Seleucids, the kings of the north and the Greek Ptolemies, the kings of the south (11:5-45). Part three concerning the history of the Greek Seleucids and Greek Ptolemies divides into six sections (11:5-45): 1. The reigns Ptolemy I Soter, 323-285 BC, and Seleucus I Nicator 312/11-280 BC (11:5) 2. The intrigues of Ptolemy II Philadelphus 285-246 BC and Antiochus II Theos 261-246 BC (11:6). 3. The revenge of Ptolemy III Evergetes 246-221 for the deaths of his sister Berenice and her baby by making war against the kingdom of Seleucus II Collinicus 246-226 BC (11:7-9). 4. The reign of Antiochus IV the Great 223-187 BC (11:10-19). 5. The reign of Seleucus IV Philopator 187-175 BC (11:20). 6. The cruel reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes 175-164 BC, his persecution of the Jews, and his destruction (11:21-45). 2 Three more kings are going to rise in Persia; a fourth will come and be richer than all the others, and when, thanks to his wealth, he has grown powerful, he will make war on all the kingdoms of Greece. The four kings of Persia who came after Cyrus: 1.
