EYBEN, E., Restless Youth in Ancient Rome. Translated from the original Dutch by P. Daly. Routledge, London / New York, 1993. VIII,367p. Original black cloth with dust wrps. Nice copy. ‘E. attempts an extraordinarily ambitious task: ‘to present a synoptic representation of the youth of Roman antiquity... and to discern the various ways in which the world of the young was transformed and changed, in which youth itself put its stamp on its environment.’ His geographical and chronological parameters are equally wide and ambitious (…). It is clear from the beginning that this is valuable as a work of overview, utilizing an impressive range of mostly literary sources. E.’s collection of source material is, in many ways, the most significant contribution of the book; future scholars working on the subject will find his extensive index locorum (343-55) and bibliography most useful starting-points. (…) At the same time, however, this work is also something of an opportunity missed. E. could have done considerably more with his material.’ (DOMINIC MONTSERRAT in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1995, p.259). From the library of the late Prof. Dr. Tony Reekmans. € 79.50 (Antiquarian)

BELONICK, P., Restraint, Conflict, and the Fall of the Roman Republic. Oxford University Press, 2023. 240p. Hardback. Belonick's argument is fascinating and timely. He examines how the Roman values of restraint that long served to limit the destructive aspects of competition among the leadership of the Republic gradually broke down, enabling political competition to become destructive to the state. By focusing on the nuances within the language of restraint used by elites, he demonstrates how political rivals could both claim to be acting with restraint when in reality they were doing nothing of the kind.

SMITH, H., Restrictiveness in Case Theory. Cambridge University Press, 2006. 344p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 78. Henry Smith develops a theory of syntactic case and examines its synchronic and diachronic consequences. Within a unification-based framework, the book draws out pervasive patterns in the relationship between morphosyntax ('linking') and grammatical function. The theory proposed consists of three ordered constraints on the association of NPs and arguments, based on the central notion of 'restrictiveness'. Beginning with a detailed study of dative substitution in Icelandic, the author moves on to examine a wide array of synchronic and diachronic data and to construct a typology of case. Theoretically innovative and sophisticated, and descriptively wide-ranging, this book will appeal to all those interested in the cross-linguistic marking of case and the ways in which case systems may change over time.
