The Little History of the Lombards of Benevento by Erchempert A Critical Edition and Translation of ‘Ystoriola Longobardorum Beneventum

The Little History of the Lombards of Benevento by Erchempert A Critical Edition and Translation of ‘Ystoriola Longobardorum Beneventum

This volume presents the analysis English translation and critical edition of the Latin text of The Little History of the Lombards of Benevento thus offering an important contribution for a better understanding of early medieval southern Italian (and Mediterranean) history. In the 840s having passed the danger of subjugation by Charlemagne southern Italy’s Lombards experienced a bloody civil war that put an end to their unity and turned southern Italy into the playground of several competing powers: Lombard lords the Neapolitans the Frankish and the Byzantine Empires the Muslims and sometimes even the papacy. At the end of the ninth century the Cassinese monk Erchempert composed a chronicle about this period that blamed the southern Lombard leaders for the terrible crisis of southern Italy. It was Erchempert’s desire that future generations could learn from the folly of their forbearers and his chronicle has since become the most relevant source for southern Italy between the 770s and the 880s. The book will appeal to scholars and students of chronicles Lombards Franks Byzantines and Muslims in early medieval Italy as well as all those interested in medieval Europe. | The Little History of the Lombards of Benevento by Erchempert A Critical Edition and Translation of ‘Ystoriola Longobardorum Beneventum

The Role of Trade Literature in Sci-Tech Libraries

The Role of Trade Literature in Sci-Tech Libraries

Experts offer practical advice on selecting and organizing trade literature and on managing the growth and extent of a collection of trade literature. They discuss modern literature and older publications which often have great historical value. Libraries that collect both old and new materials are identified as are publishers of trade literature. The book also focuses on how a publisher of classic trade literature views its role. | The Role of Trade Literature in Sci-Tech Libraries

Tractatus in Context The Essential Background for Appreciating Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Tractatus in Context The Essential Background for Appreciating Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s brief Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922) is one of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century yet it offers little orientation for the reader. The first-time reader is left wondering what it could be about and the scholar is left with little guidance for interpretation. In Tractatus in Context James C. Klagge presents the vital background necessary for appreciating Wittgenstein’s gnomic masterpiece. Tractatus in Context contains the early reactions to the Tractatus including the initial reviews written in 1922-1924. And while we can’t talk with Wittgenstein we can do the next best thing—hear what he had to say about the Tractatus. Klagge thus presents what Wittgenstein thought about germane issues leading up to his writing the book in discussions and correspondence with others about his ideas and what he had to say about the Tractatus after it was written—in letters lectures and conversations. It offers you might say Wittgenstein’s own commentary on the book. Key Features: Illuminates what is at stake in the Tractatus by providing the views of others that engaged Wittgenstein as he was writing it. Includes Wittgenstein’s earlier thoughts on ideas in the book as recorded in his notebooks letters and conversations as well as his later retrospective comments on those ideas. Draws on new or little-known sources such as Wittgenstein’s coded notebooks Hermine’s notes Frege’s letters Hänsel’s diary Ramsey’s notes and Skinner’s dictations. Draws connections between the background context and specific passages in the Tractatus using a proposition-by-proposition commentary. | Tractatus in Context The Essential Background for Appreciating Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
