Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of the Artists of Antiquity: Architects, Carvers, Engravers, Modellers, Painters, Sculptors, Statuaries, and Workers in Bronze, Gold, Ivory, and Silver, With Three Chronological Tables The reader will observe that, though the names of the artists are not introduced into the First Index, because the Dictionary proceeds alphabetically, the names of the artists, which are inserted in the Appendix, are included in the First Index. The Four Indexes have been compiled with great care, and will, it is presumed, be found to be very complete; certain it is that the editor went twice over the ground, that he might the better insure accuracy, and certain too it is that the con struction of the Four Indexes has been the serious labor of one whole month. Such typographical errors, as the editor has observed, he has noticed at the end of his Work; the want of access to books for references in cases of doubt, and the distance of the press have been Obstacles in the way of typographical accuracy he is conscious of certain errors, which he had not the means of correcting, but on the other hand he believes that he has corrected several, which were in the original Work, while he is aware that with the aid of the proper books, he could have corrected more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of the Artists of Antiquity: Architects, Carvers, Engravers, Modellers, Painters, Sculptors, Statuaries, and Workers in Bronze, Gold, Ivory, and Silver, With Three Chronological Tables The reader is here presented with what has been long regarded as a great desideratum, in English literature, A Critical History of the Artists of Antiquity, by one, whose learning, acuteness, judgment, taste, and scientific acquirements are competent alike to decide questions of Classical criticism and philology, and to appreciate the recorded performances of ancient Artists, and the existing remains of ancient Art, with a noble impartiality and independence, and with a modesty and patience equalled only by the ardent zeal, and generous devotion, and in whom is happily blended the spirit of candor, which adorns the pages of a Markland, with the nice perception, which distinguishes an Elmsley, and the laborious research, which immortalises a Heyne. Such a Work, executed in so admirable a manner, can scarcely fail to meet with proper encouragement, not only from Royal Academicians, practising Professors of Engraving, Painting, and Sculpture, the lovers of the Fine Arts, and the youthful and aspiring pupils, but also from Classical Scholars, who will find in this Dictionary the solution of many difficulties, which surround their favorite Authors in Cimmerian darkness, and arrest the reader in his career of poetic enthusiasm, or of philosophical contemplation, or of historical research, disenchanting his imaginative musings, and disharmonising his ratiocinative processes. The Editor regrets, (a fault, which may be remedied in a future edition,) that Mr. Sillig has not noticed at greater length, and with more minute investigation, the Biography of the Ancient Artists. He admits that he has examined carefully such facts in their personal hisjories, as bear on the Fine Arts, and many particulars, which have no such reference. But in a Dictionary of this kind every incident, narrative, or fact, which antiquity has recorded, respecting each Artist, should be specified, and any questions, which are connected with them, should be examined, whether they have or have not any direct relation to the Fine Arts. And, if the Editor should be induced to reprint this Work, (as his vanity inclines him to believe, and his judgment leads him to expect,) he will use his best endeavours to supply the defect. In the mean time the reader, who has not access to more elaborate publications, can or must be content with the notices of these Artists, which appear in Dr. Lempriere's Classical Dictionary, as edited by the learned Professor Anthon in America, and reprinted by the Editor in England; but the possessors of this Work will do well to regard the performance of Mr. Sillig as an indispensable accompaniment to the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding and enjoyment of a work of art depends as much on the story it depicts as on the artist's execution of it. But what were once biblical or classical commonplaces are not so readily recognizable today. This book relates in a succinct and readable way the themes, sacred and secular, on which the repertoire of Western art is based. Combined here in a single volume are religious, classical, and historical themes, figures of moral allegory, and characters from romantic poetry that appeared throughout paintings and sculpture in Western art before and after the Renaissance. More than just a dictionary, this text places these subjects in their narrative, historical, or mythological context and uses extensive cross-referencing to enhance and clarify the meanings of these themes for the reader. The definitive work by which others are compared, this volume has become an indispensable handbook for students and general appreciators alike. This wholly redesigned second edition includes a new insert of images chosen by the author, as well as a new preface and index to highlight the ideas, beliefs, and social and religious customs that form the background of much of this subject matter.

This book was released on 2011-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1891, this revised edition of Oskar Seyffert's Dictionary provides comprehensive coverage of Greek and Roman antiquities, and extends its range to incorporate the areas of mythology and literature. From Abacus to Zosimus, over 2,500 articles cover topics including the lives and work of Greek and Roman philosophers, historians, orators, poets and artists, and related subjects including Greek and Roman religion, philosophy, rhetoric, literature, architecture, painting, sculpture, music and drama. A landmark publication in its time, it is still regarded as factually reliable, and although there have been considerable advances in the interpretation of the data it is valuable as a benchmark for the state of classical scholarship in the late nineteenth century. Enhanced by over 450 illustrations, the volume gives the Latin equivalent for every Greek word, and contains a thorough index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Classical Antiquities: Mythology, Religion, Literature Art The Dictionary of Classical Antiquities, which is here offered to the public, is founded on a work by Dr. Oskar Seyffert, of Berlin, which has deservedly attained a wide circulation in Germany. Dr. Seyffert is already known in England as one of the editors of a philological periodical, entitled the Berliner Philologische Wochenschrift, and as a distinguished Latin scholar, whose name is specially associated with the criticism of Plautus. The departments of classical learning included in his dictionary are the Mythology and Religion, the Literature and Art, and the constitutional and social Antiquities of Greece and Rome. Within the compass of a single volume it comprises all the subjects usually treated in a Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, while it also supplies information on matters of Mythology and Literature which has generally to be looked for in the pages of a Classical Dictionary. Besides separate articles on Greek and Roman divinities, and on the lives and works of the philosophers, the historians, the orators, the poets, and the artists of Greece and Rome, it gives a general and comprehensive view of such subjects as Greek and Roman Religion, Philosophy, History, Rhetoric, Literature, Architecture, Painting, Sculpture, Music, and the Drama. Similarly, in the department of Antiquities, besides separate treatment of subordinate details, it deals with important topics, such as the Boule and Ecclesia, the Comitia and the Senate, Commerce and War, the Houses, the Ships, the Temples, and the Theatres of the ancients. The original text has been largely supplemented and corrected by Dr. Seyffert himself; and the whole of the translation has been carefully revised and, in many cases, re-written or re-arranged by the editors. The larger part of the letter A (Abacus to Astrology) was translated by Mr. Stallybrass, owing to whose lamented death the remainder of the work was put into other hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity is the first comprehensive reference book covering every aspect of history, culture, religion, and life in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East (including the Persian Empire and Central Asia) between the mid-3rd and the mid-8th centuries AD, the era now generally known as Late Antiquity. This period saw the re-establishment of the Roman Empire, its conversion to Christianity and its replacement in the West by Germanic kingdoms, the continuing Roman Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Persian Sassanian Empire, and the rise of Islam. Consisting of over 1.5 million words in more than 5,000 A-Z entries, and written by more than 400 contributors, it is the long-awaited middle volume of a series, bridging a significant period of history between those covered by the acclaimed Oxford Classical Dictionary and The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages. The scope of the Dictionary is broad and multi-disciplinary; across the wide geographical span covered (from Western Europe and the Mediterranean as far as the Near East and Central Asia), it provides succinct and pertinent information on political history, law, and administration; military history; religion and philosophy; education; social and economic history; material culture; art and architecture; science; literature; and many other areas. Drawing on the latest scholarship, and with a formidable international team of advisers and contributors, The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity aims to establish itself as the essential reference companion to a period that is attracting increasing attention from scholars and students worldwide.
