BAUMBACH, M., and P. von MÖLLENDORFF, Ein literarischer Prometheus. Lukian aus Samosata und die Zweite Sophistik. Winter, Heidelberg, 2017. 269p. Paperback. Lukian aus Samosata (2. Jh. n. Chr.) gehört zu den bedeutendsten griechischen Literaten der Kaiserzeit. Als Meister der Polemik mit scharfem Blick für die Diskrepanz von Schein und Sein in allen Bereichen der Öffentlichkeit, feinsinniger Gestalter anspielungsreicher Texte, intellektueller ‚Freiredner‘ und Erfinder hybrider Formen war er ein eminenter Vertreter der Bildungskultur der Zweiten Sophistik. Seine über achtzig in kreativer Aneignung der literarischen Tradition entstandenen Schriften umfassen Deklamationen, literaturkritische Abhandlungen, phantastische Erzählungen, Pamphlete und eine Vielzahl von Dialogen, deren Witz, Subtilität und Buntheit bis heute zahllose Nachahmer gefunden haben.Das vorliegende Buch bietet einen differenzierten Überblick über Lukians Oeuvre, erklärt seine Stellung in Literatur und Kultur der Kaiserzeit, wirft einen Blick hinter auktorial konnotierte Masken, analysiert die Poiesis seiner wichtigsten literarischen Neuschöpfung, des Komödischen Dialogs, und erörtert Fragen der Inszenierung, Veröffentlichung und Überlieferung seiner Werke.

BLASS, Fr., and A. DEBRUNNER, Grammatik des neutestamentlichen Griechisch. Bearbeitet von Fr. Rehkopf. Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen, 1976. 14th rev.and enlarged ed. XX,511p. Original green gilt titled cloth. Some smoker's smell. 'Blass first produced this grammar in 1896 and Debrunner undertook it from the fourth edition (1913). His last edition was the ninth (1954) and to the twelfth edition (1965) D. Tabachovitz added a supplement. (...) The present edition is the first produced by F. Rehkopf. The whole work has been revised and enlarged, the format and presentation are much improved and the indexes are usefully extended. In other directions brevity has been studied. Not all the eliminations are welcome (...). It remains a valuable tool for many studies, and we must congratulate reviser, publisher, and printer on what is still a very presentable and serviceable volume.' (G.D. KILPATRICK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1978, pp.98-100). € 30.00 (Antiquarian)

BRACHT BRANHAM, R., Unruly Eloquence. Lucian and the Comedy of Traditions. Harvard University Press, Cambridge (Mass.) / London, 1989. 279p. Original black gilt stamped cloth with dust wrps. 'In this learned and original book, Branham argues that too much interest has been taken in Lucian's sources and topicality and not enough in his literary aims and methods ant the qualities which distinguish him as a 'serio-comic' writer. B.'s chief interests and contributions are on the subject of humour, not only that of L. but also on the theories about 'to geleion' held by Plato and Aristotle and the views on humour held by a variety of post-war scholars (...). B. offers a series of well-informed and thought-provoking studies. Though not for undergraduates, his work deserves serious study by those with a specialised interest in the Antonine Age.' (MATTHEW MACLEOD in The Classical Review (New Series), 1990, pp.250-251). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 35.00 (Antiquarian)
