Lucretius unmasks the world with relentless clarity - poetry that explains how things are. Truth rendered in majestic Latin. H. A. J. Munro's edition of Titi Lucreti Cari De Rerum Natura Libri Sex (Volume II) places Lucretius' voice in view: an ancient Roman text that fuses latin philosophical poetry with the sweep of classical epic literature. Across sustained hexameter the poet maps the origins of matter and the mechanical laws behind appearance, threading epicurean philosophy themes into vivid, argumentative verse about the nature of the universe. Reading it is to stand at the crossroads of poetry and science, where speculation about atoms and sensation becomes literary drama. Casual readers will be captivated by the image-rich lines; committed students of latin literature will find this volume a frank and precise companion in philological study. The Latin itself is muscular and exact, rewarding line-by-line attention and revealing the rhetorical skill that makes abstract theory feel immediate. Suitable for classroom use and solitary reading, this edition sits comfortably between a readable classical narrative and a rigorous classical studies reference. As one of the central ancient philosophical works, De Rerum Natura occupies a singular place in first-century BCE Rome and in the long history of Western thought; it has reverberated through later debates about matter and mind and remains essential to any complete Latin classics collection. It appeals to casual readers drawn to foundational ideas, to latin literature students seeking primary texts, and to collectors assembling a definitive set of ancient roman text. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Munro's scholarship makes the Latin approachable without blunting its force, so the volume works equally as a classroom staple, a classical studies reference on the shelf, and a prized piece for anyone curating a complete Latin classics collection. Above all, Lucretius' blend of argument and imagery still challenges and delights.

Discover the grammar that explains how Latin spoke and changed between Plautus and Suetonius. Essential for students of classics. Henry John Roby's A Grammar of the Latin Language From Plautus to Suetonius, Part 1 is a rigorous, systematically arranged latin grammar reference that examines phonology, inflection and derivation as used in the ancient Roman language. Written as both a classical language textbook and a historical linguistics guide, the volume presents Book I on sounds, Book II on inflexions and Book III on word-formation, with appendices to aid comparative work and focused study. Roby's close readings show sound-change in action and set out latin inflection rules with clarity; his discussion of latin word formation traces derivations that recur across poetry and prose. Designed for clarity as much as scholarship, it functions equally well as classroom material, a self-study companion and a practical reference for translators, while offering the analytical depth expected by researchers. Methodologically significant, the work maps shifts in usage across genres and periods, making it a valuable resource for ancient literature studies and for anyone treating Latin as a living, changing tongue. As a comprehensive latin grammar it supports comparative philology, helps contextualise texts from the republican stage through the Roman Empire era, and remains a trusted language scholars resource for tracing morphology and phonetics across authors. Casual readers exploring original texts will find accessible explanations; students of classics will gain a structured path through forms and functions; collectors of classical scholarship will consider the volume an essential addition to a latin language collection. The book's philological method rewards close reading and comparative research, providing a bridge between classroom grammar and the scholar's toolkit. Its examples are suitable for seminar discussion, translation practice and advanced study, so it appeals equally to conscientious beginners and to seasoned researchers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient poem from Mesopotamia (present day Iraq, as well as southeast Turkey, Syria, and southwest Iran) and is among the earliest known works of literature. Scholars believe that it originated as a series of Sumerian legends and poems about the mythological hero-king Gilgamesh, which were gathered into a longer Akkadian epic much later. The most complete version existing today is preserved on 12 clay tablets from the library collection of 7th-century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. It was originally titled He who Saw the Deep (Sha naqba ¿muru) or Surpassing All Other Kings (Sh¿tur eli sharr¿). Gilgamesh was probably a real ruler in the late Early Dynastic II period (ca. 27th century BC). The story revolves around a relationship between Gilgamesh and his close companion, Enkidu. Enkidu is a wild man created by the gods as Gilgamesh's equal to distract him from oppressing the citizens of Uruk. Together they undertake dangerous quests that incur the displeasure of the gods. Firstly, they journey to the Cedar Mountain to defeat Humbaba, its monstrous guardian. Later they kill the Bull of Heaven that the goddess Ishtar has sent to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. The latter part of the epic focuses on Gilgamesh's distressed reaction to Enkidu's death, which takes the form of a quest for immortality. Gilgamesh attempts to learn the secret of eternal life by undertaking a long and perilous journey to meet the immortal flood hero, Utnapishtim. Ultimately the poignant words addressed to Gilgamesh in the midst of his quest foreshadow the end result: "The life that you are seeking you will never find. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping." Gilgamesh, however, was celebrated by posterity for his building achievements, and for bringing back long-lost cultic knowledge to Uruk as a result of his meeting with Utnapishti. The story is widely read in translation, and the protagonist, Gilgamesh, has become an icon of popular culture.

Many readers of Guénon's doctrinal works have hoped for translations of his detailed exposés of Theosophy and Spiritism. Sophia Perennis is pleased to make available both of these important titles as part of the Collected Works of René Guénon. Whereas Theosophy: History of a Pseudo-Religion centers primarily on historical details, The Spiritist Fallacy, although also packed with arcane facts, is unique in revealing how one of the greatest metaphysicians of our age interpreted the phenomena, real or alleged, of Spiritism. The doctrinal expositions that accompany his astonishing account of Spiritism offer extraordinarily prescient insight into many deviations and "psychological" afflictions of the modern mind, and should be as valuable to psychiatrists and spiritual counselors as to students of esoteric history. And it also offers a profound corrective to the many brands of New Age "therapy" that all too unwittingly invoke many of the same elements whose nefarious origins Guénon so clearly pointed out many years ago. Since WW II, "channeling" has largely replaced older styles of mediumship in the movement loosely known as the New Age. Yet the two are intimately related. As both historical chronicle and metaphysical critique, The Spiritist Fallacy, together with its companion volume, Theosophy: History of a Pseudo-Religion, is a valuable study of New Age origins. Guénon takes the "spirit manifestations" of the Fox sisters in Hydesville, New York (in 1847) as his starting-point, but while accepting the reality of many such "manifestations," denies that they represent the spirits of the departed. He sees them, rather, as fostering belief in a kind of rarefied materialism-a belief widespread today in popular culture. And he addresses the strange fact that "manifestations" associated from antiquity with haunted houses suddenly, in the nineteenth century-and within five years of their appearance-spawned an international pseudo-religious movement, speculating that certain magicians (possibly from the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor) may have intentionally produced the Hydesville phenomena by actively projecting hidden influences upon the passive psyches of their mediums. The Spiritist Fallacy is both an exposé of "unconscious Satanism" and a highly useful critique of the false ideas of the afterlife that are so prevalent in our time.

Experience the wonder of close encounters with wildlife. A passage from Clipper Chronicles: "One albatross in particular glides around the boat with majestic ease and uncanny precision. Its wings-stretching nearly three metres-vanish behind a cresting wave, skimming the surface with scarcely an inch to spare beneath its feathers. It hardly ever beats its wings, yet it remains effortlessly aloft. Even at night, it circles us, its silhouette fleeting against the darkness. It's said that albatrosses can sleep while flying, shutting down one hemisphere of the brain at a time. I try to communicate with this silent companion, giving a wave each time as it sweeps close by. My crewmates chuckle at the gesture-but doesn't it tilt its head towards me on that final pass, as if in quiet acknowledgement? Perhaps I imagined it-but the feeling of connection was real."

A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry Geoffroi de Charny. Introduction by Richard W. Kaeuper. Translation by Elspeth Kennedy "Of exceptional interest for the light shed on the ethos, style, and tastes of the secular aristocracy of the later Middle Ages. Charny's book offers an exploration and explanation of the values and proper manner of life for Christian knights and men at arms by someone who was a knight himself. . . . A real boon to the historian."--London Review of Books "Kaeuper and Kennedy have done scholars a tremendous service in their publication of the excellent 1996 edition. . . . This slimmed-down version now provides teachers of chivalry, warfare, and gender with an excellent resource for the classroom."--Medieval Review On the great influence of a valiant lord: "The companions, who see that good warriors are honored by the great lords for their prowess, become more determined to attain this level of prowess." On the lady who sees her knight honored: "All of this makes the noble lady rejoice greatly within herself at the fact that she has set her mind and heart on loving and helping to make such a good knight or good man-at-arms." On the worthiest amusements: "The best pastime of all is to be often in good company, far from unworthy men and from unworthy activities from which no good can come." Enter the real world of knights and their code of ethics and behavior. Read how an aspiring knight of the fourteenth century would conduct himself and learn what he would have needed to know when traveling, fighting, appearing in court, and engaging fellow knights. Composed at the height of the Hundred Years War by Geoffroi de Charny, one of the most respected knights of his age, A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry was designed as a guide for members of the Company of the Star, an order created by Jean II of France in 1352 to rival the English Order of the Garter.

A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry Geoffroi de Charny. Introduction by Richard W. Kaeuper. Translation by Elspeth Kennedy "Of exceptional interest for the light shed on the ethos, style, and tastes of the secular aristocracy of the later Middle Ages. Charny's book offers an exploration and explanation of the values and proper manner of life for Christian knights and men at arms by someone who was a knight himself. . . . A real boon to the historian."--London Review of Books "Kaeuper and Kennedy have done scholars a tremendous service in their publication of the excellent 1996 edition. . . . This slimmed-down version now provides teachers of chivalry, warfare, and gender with an excellent resource for the classroom."--Medieval Review On the great influence of a valiant lord: "The companions, who see that good warriors are honored by the great lords for their prowess, become more determined to attain this level of prowess." On the lady who sees her knight honored: "All of this makes the noble lady rejoice greatly within herself at the fact that she has set her mind and heart on loving and helping to make such a good knight or good man-at-arms." On the worthiest amusements: "The best pastime of all is to be often in good company, far from unworthy men and from unworthy activities from which no good can come." Enter the real world of knights and their code of ethics and behavior. Read how an aspiring knight of the fourteenth century would conduct himself and learn what he would have needed to know when traveling, fighting, appearing in court, and engaging fellow knights.
