Anthologies of Historiographical Speeches from Antiquity to Early Modern Times
Anthologies of speeches excerpted from history books constitute a relatively little-known rhetorical and bibliographic genre. From ancient times to the present day, the practice of culling characters’ orations from one or more works and publishing them independently of their original source has produced new and different ways of reading and using history. Anthologies of Historiographical Speeches offers an introduction to the very diverse questions that arise from the study of the genre through a variety of approaches and methodological tools. Lying at the point where rhetoric and historiography intersect, the essays included in this volume focus on the rhetorical aspects of the collections, as well as on their production, transmission, and reception from antiquity to the early modern period.

Visions of God and Ideas on Deification in Patristic Thought
This volume illustrates the complexity and variety of early Christian thought on the subject of the image of God as a theological concept, and the difficulties that arise even in the interpretation of particular authors who gave a cardinal place to the image of God in their expositions of Christian doctrine. The first part illustrates both the presence and the absence of the image of God in the earliest Christian literature; the second examines various studies in deification, both implicit and explicit; the third explores the relation between iconography and the theological notion of the image

La conjuración de Catilina. Guerra de Jugurta
Nueva traducción de las dos grandes obras de Salustio, acompañadas de un profundo y detallado estudio sobre el autor y su época.
Testimonios y discursos
Recupera los textos de la mujer de Pericles, uno de los personajes femeninos más carismáticos de la Grecia clásica. Recoge también los testimonios antiguos sobre ella. En el amplio estudio introductorio se estudia la figura de esta importante mujer, analiza los testimonios y evalúa los argumentos expuestos por los estudiosos, concluyendo que la influencia de Aspasia fue dada por su arte retórico más que por sus encantos femininos y que fue pionera de un movimiento de emancipación femenina que tiene su testigo literario en la Lisístrata de Aristófanes o el la Medea de Eurípides.
Theosis
Deification penetrates all spheres of human existence, and can be seen as an answer to most pending ultimate questions. It is essentially practical in its manifestation and uplifting in its content, but nevertheless, always evasive and arcane in itscomprehension. Aimed both at those who are already students of theosis and at those who are looking for an introductory text.
