| Johnston, Pamela Delia. The Military Consilium in Republican Rome
The consilium, or advisory council, played an important role in the everyday activities of the Roman magistrate in his role as military commander. This work is an in-depth look at the commander's consilium from its first depicted appearances in the accounts of the legendary period to 31 BC. The concilium adapted to meet changing needs and serves to illustrate how Romans felt about their own society. The role of the commander's consilium can be seen as a pragmatic compromise between the desire for competent leadership and personal ambition on the one hand, and the Romans' ever-present fear of tyrannical behavior on the other hand. |

| Seaich, Eugene. A Great Mystery: The Secret of the Jerusalem Temple
In this thoroughly provocative book, the late Eugene Seaich made a detailed study of the intractable mystery of the Jerusalem temple. Using historical sources and ingenious detective work, Seaich suggested that the cherubim in Solomon’s temple were portrayed in a copulatory embrace. Aware that this thesis was not entirely novel, the author built a substantial case in its favor and traced the influence of the atonement (at-one-ment) theology behind the concept through the periods of Israel’s wisdom school, into the New Testament and Gnostic sources, up through the Middle Ages. |

A colorful collection of several aspects of ancient history, this publication will be much appreciated by Classicists and students of military history in the ancient world. |

| Thomas, Carol G., ed.. Current Issues and the Study of Ancient History
The arrival of new disciplinary approaches to ancient fields of study is embraced in this volume of Publications of the Association of Ancient Historians. This volume considers the world of the Classic civilizations viewed through the lenses of recent approaches to historical material. Stanley M. Burstein considers Egypt and Greece in the light of Afrocentrism as a means of exploring ethnicity in the study of antiquity. Nancy Demand applies the outlook of gender studies to ancient history with the resultant concepts of participation and power. Ian Morris delves into the role archaeology takes in the understanding of ancient Greece, and Lawrence Tritle explores psychology and history in an analysis of Thucydides, a foundational writer of Classical history. These cross-disciplinary studies demonstrate the flexibility and breadth of the historical undertaking in an environment of continual growth and change. |

| Thomas, Carol G.. Myth Becomes History: Pre-Classical Greece
Noting the standard reservations of Classicists regarding the Greek Bronze and Dark Ages, Carol Thomas declares the Pre-Classical period of ancient Greece to be the locus of much historical information. Both the metaphor and the fact of Troy serve as emblems of this historical enterprise as Thomas organizes her work around the subjects encountered by those approaching this time-frame: the tools (method and dating) and the evidence (writing and oral tradition). A brief account of the war is given in the context of both an actual war and a metaphor. These tools allow her to reconstruct the Mycenaean Age and the Dark Age prior to Classical Greece. A necessary requisite for consideration of the history of Classical Greece, this volume is accessible to scholars and interested laity alike. |

| Crecelius, Daniel, ed.. Eighteenth Century Egypt
Originating from a conference bearing the same name as the volume, these nine papers were originally presented at California State University, Los Angeles in 1990. They address the rather specific question of the Arabic manuscript resources available in the eighteenth century to document the history of Egypt during the Ottoman Period. Based on the premise that Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan al-Jabarti’s work had been unduly monolithic in the field, the conference participants addressed the other manuscript sources that were available to compose such a history. For researchers into the Ottoman Period of Egyptian history, this study will prove an invaluable tool. |

| Tritle, Lawrence A., ed.. Balkan Currents
Delving into the troubled history of the Balkan Peninsula, this collection of essays does not shy away from the difficult issues. Seven papers by noted specialists in this region (Charles A. Frazee, Thomas A. Emmert, Snjezana Buzov, Veniamin Karakostanoglou, Basil Kondis, Spyridon Sfetas, and Stephen K. Batalden) ponder the larger implications of this fractured part of the European map. At the confluence of two continents and three major religions, the Balkans are often overlooked until the media calls attention to the troubles of the region. This book contains essays on the religious, ethnic, and political element in the conflict. Particularly timely, considerations of Kosovo’s status and the continuing crisis of what used to be called Yugoslavia are directly engaged in this study. This collection is must-read material for those interested in the history and culture of this troubled society. |

| Heyn, Udo. Peacemaking in Medieval Europe
As an attempt to consider the causes, course, and consequences of particular conflicts that have plagued Europe throughout much of its history, historian Udo Heyn addresses several pertinent issues in his book. Following an introduction to the topic, the issues and definitions involved, the rise of the doctrine of “Just War” comprises an essay on the Western quest for peace. Clearly tied to this doctrine is the role of the medieval church in the quest for peace in Europe. This is explored through the concepts of the peace of God and the truce of God. Peace campaigns of the state are also considered in terms of the secular peace of the prince and the peace of the realm. The moves from private justice to public law and private combat to rules of war are explored. Various catalysts and additional factors in the pacification of Europe are also considered. The study ends with an extensive bibliography on the subjects under discussion, providing a gateway into further research on this important topic. |

| Peters, Francis. Ours: The Making and Unmaking of a Jesuit
The Jesuits—that group of clerics so deeply imbedded in the dreams and nightmares of the Catholic Church and in the history of the world. Sometimes saints and sometimes energetic and devious schemers, the Jesuits have educated and trained most of the Catholic intellectuals of America and Europe for the last four hundred years.
F. E. Peters throws open the doors of the Jesuit citadel in this story of a young man’s coming of age. This is a personal story told without romance and without rancor, and if the Jesuit life is one of bondage to an almost impossible ideal of perfect obedience and self-denial, it is also, as Ours makes clear without the slightest trace of jesuitical equivocation, a life of intelligence, of intense camaraderie, and of high good humor.

Negotiating Island Identities explores the history of interaction between Crete and the Cycladic islands from the late Middle to Late Bronze II periods when Minoan influence was at its peak. Based on a thorough investigation of pottery assemblages from key sites, the book advocates a rethink of established acculturation scenarios (such as “Minoanisation”) in relation to the Cycladic islands. Openness or closure towards outside influences was not predetermined by cultural, geographical or ecological variables but was socially constructed. Island communities could consciously fashion their worlds and make choices about the nature and degree of interaction with their neighbours. |

| Hallman, Joseph M.. The Coming of the Impassible God: Tracing a Dilemma in Christian Theology
This book describes the development of the Christian understanding of God from the second to the eighth century as witnessed by major theologians who gradually realized that the Incarnate Word made flesh was not the God of the philosophers. They helped construct the great dogmas of the Christological councils. Beginning with the Apologists and ending with Maximus Confessor, the theological tradition overcame the notion of impassible deity in favor of the humble God of Christian faith, the Word made flesh. |

| Buckley, Jorunn Jacobsen. Drower's Folk-Tales of Iraq
A collection of folktales from Iraq, dating from the 1930s, found in the archives of the famous English Lady E. S. Drower (1879-1972), who was novelist, folklorist, specialist on the Mandaeans, and writer of travel accounts. New tales edited by Jorunn Buckley form a second volume of Drower’s Folktales. The stories—carrying recognizable Near Eastern folk-tale features—feature monsters and heroes, maidens and fairies and they give a vivid picture of a now extinct oral folktale tradition. This Gorgias Press edition includes previously unpublished tales in addition to those of the 1931 edition. |
