ROISMAN, J., Lycurgus: Against Leocrates. Oxford University Press, 2019. 288p. Hardback. Series: Clarendon Ancient History Series. This volume offers an accessible guide to a fascinating and (as Roisman rightly indicates) unsettling speech from a period-and cultural environment-which is now attracting the attention it deserves. It will help to encourage nuanced readings of Lycurgus not only as a linchpin figure in Athenian civic renewal in the 330s and 320s but also as a political operator who had to fashion individual communication strategies to sustain his authority in the familiar democratic contexts of the lawcourts and Assembly, just like his peers and rivals.

Pages slightly yellowed due to paper quality. Series: Lectio Divina, 116. ‘It is the conviction of Rolland that it is impossible to account for the present Synoptic Gospels without appealing to several non extant pre-Synoptic sources. But ‘Les premiers évangiles is not only a critique of the simpler solutions to the Synoptic problem; it offers a detailed reconstruction of those non extant documents, including their provenance, date and theology. (…) The potential value of this new assessment of the Synoptic problem is unfortunately vitiated by its lack of consideration of the last twenty years of literature on the problem and by the invocation of weak and even specious arguments in favour of the author’s proposed primitive gospels.’ (JOHN S. KLOPPENBORG, in The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 1985, pp.744-745). € 38.00 (Antiquarian)
