ENENKEL, K.A., J.L. de JONG, and J. DE LANDTSHEER, (eds.), Recreating Ancient History. Episodes from the Greek and Roman Past in the Arts and Literature of the Early Modern Period. Brill, Boston / Leiden, 2002. XIII,371;16,10,5,8p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Paperback. Nice copy. ‘The study of the classical tradition has long been a disparate one. All too often scholars have tended to concentrate upon the influences of antiquity in one writer or artist, and failed to place these influences in a wider context. Yet, without this context, the classical tradition is little more than an exercise in erudition. This volume (…) is therefore a welcome collection of seventeen essays that draw parallels between the many and diverse aspects of the classical tradition in the early modern period. (…) The volume will be useful to historians of all aspects of the early modern period, as well as historians of the classical tradition and cultural history. (…) the standard of scholarship is generally high, and the essays carry copious references to further scholarship.’ (IAN MACGREGOR MORRIS in the Journal of Roman Studies, 2003, p.348). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 25.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780391041295
