Annotation:

De Bello Gallico is Julius Caesar's firsthand account of the Gallic Wars, written as a third-person narrative. In it Caesar describes the battles and intrigues that took place in the nine years he spent fighting local armies in Gaul that opposed Roman domination.

The "Gaul" that Caesar refers to is sometimes all of Gaul except for the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis (modern day Provence), encompassing the rest of modern France, Belgium and some of Switzerland. On other occasions, he refers only to that territory inhabited by the Celtic peoples known to the Romans as Gauls, from the English Channel to Lugdunum (Lyon).

Annotation:

The Symposium (Greek: Συμπόσιον) is a Socratic dialogue written by Xenophon in the late 360's B.C.E. In it, Socrates and a few of his companions attend a symposium (a lighthearted dinner party at which Greek aristocrats could have discussions and enjoy entertainment) hosted by Kallias for the young man Autolykos. Xenophon claims that he was present at the symposium, although this is disputed because he would have been too young to attend. The dramatic date for the Symposium is 422 B.C.E.

Entertainment at the dinner is provided by the Syracusan and his three performers. Their feats of skill thrill the attendants and serve as points of conversation throughout the dialogue. Much of the discussion centers around what each guest is most proud of. All their answers are playful or paradoxical: Socrates, for one, prides himself on his knowledge of the art of match-making.

Major themes of the work include beauty and desire, wisdom, virtue, and laughter which is evoked by Philippos the jester and the jocular discourse of the dinner guests. Xenophon demonstrates clever use of playfulness (paidia παιδία) and seriousness (spoudeσπουδή) to manipulate the discussion of the above-mentioned themes in a manner appropriate to a symposium.

Annotation:

The History of the Peloponnesian War is a historical account of the Peloponnesian War, which was fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens). It was written byThucydides, an Athenian historian who also happened to serve as an Athenian general during the war. His account of the conflict is widely considered to be a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The Histories are divided into eight books by editors of later antiquity.

Annotation:

On the occasion of the 450th anniversary of the outbreak of the Reformation, a joint conference, sponsored by Union Theological Seminary and Fordham University, brought together scholars of that new era in Western civilization for a general reassessment of its impact on recent scholarship. New light has been shed in this important field on the causes, progress, and significance of the religious revolt and reform of the sixteenth century.

The present volume is an extension of the conference and is published in the hope that it will increase the meeting’s contribution to both historical and ecumenical understanding. The eight essays presented here reflect different attitudes, different insights, and different conclusions. Among the distinguished contributors are: Roland H. Bainton, Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History Emeritus, Yale University (“The Problem of Authority in the Age of the Reformation”); Hajo Holborn, Sterling Professor of History, Yale University (“Luther and the Princes”); Margaret Mann Phillips, author of Erasmus and the Northern Renaissance and The Adages of Erasmus (“Some Last Words of Erasmus”); Wilhelm Pauck, Distinguished Professor of Church History, Vanderbilt University (“The ‘Catholic’ Luther”); and Lewis W. Spitz, Professor of History, Stanford University (“Bibliography of Recent Studies of Luther and the Reformation”). In the realization that we can better understand the significance of what is happening now by appreciating more the significance of what happened then, these scholars have engaged in an open dialogue, in a frank exchange and counter-exchange of ideas. This fundamental process of clarification will inevitably lead to a new interpretation of the Reformation and, thereby, to a new appreciation of our Christian heritage, the ultimate basis on which both Protestant and Catholic must stand.

Annotation:

We take up our narrative at the point of time when the Athenians returned to their ruined homes after the defeat of the Persians at Plataea. Of their ancient city nothing remained but a few houses which had served as lodgings for the Persian grandees, and some scattered fragments of the surrounding wall. Their first task was to restore the outer line of defence, and by the advice of Themistocles the new wall took in a much wider circuit than the old rampart which had been destroyed by the Persians. The whole population toiled night and day to raise the bulwark which was to guard their temples and their homes, using as materials the walls of the houses which had been sacked and burnt by the Persians, with whatever remained of public buildings, sacred or profane, and sparing not even the monumental pillars of graves in the urgency of their need.
