|  | Ancient History: Recent Work and New Directions by
Characteristic of the aims and goals of the Association of Ancient Historians, this volume focuses on the new and developing arenas of study of the Classical world. Included in this volume are informed considerations of recent work done in four major fields of Classics scholarship: Greece (beginning in the late Dark Ages), by Kurt A. Raaflaub, the Hellenistic Age (including Macedon), by Stanley M. Burstein, the Roman Republic, by Allen M. Ward, and the Roman Empire, by Ramsay MacMullen. Designed to give both the specialist and the novice in the field an overview of trends in present-day scholarship focused on the ancient world, each contributor is allowed his own voice and viewpoint. |

Commissioned by the Indian government to prepare a descriptive catalogue of the Arabic manuscripts of the Library of India Office in London, Loth produced this reference work. A total of 1,050 manuscripts are covered in the catalogue. At the time of the composition of Loth’s work only one of the items in the catalogue had even been the subject of an edition which means that the vast majority of the items were unknown until the late 1870s. The texts are divided according to category: Quran, tradition, law, principles of jurisprudence, prayers and charms, scholastic theology, philosophy, Sufism and ethics, biography and history, geography, cosmography, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, poetry, grammar, and dictionaries. For the researcher in Arabic manuscripts, this publication of an important collection should not be missed.
Otto Loth (1844-1881) was Professor Extraordinarius at the University of Leipzig.
