LIVERPOOL UNIV PRESS, 01.06, XV, 269 Seiten / p. 15,2 x 1,5 x 22,9 cm, Originalhardcover mit Schutzumschlag / with dust jacket. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Autorenwidmung - This book, an encyclopaedic work of reference, provides a comprehensive survey of those insects and terrestrial invertebrates which are referred to by Greek and Roman authors from tie earliest times to AD600. Ian C. Beavis explains, in fascinating detail, the extent of the ancients? knowledge of each animal, and assesses the accuracy of their beliefs in the light of current knowledge. He also discusses the role of each invertebrate type in classical life and thought, including popular beliefs and general attitudes towards particular animals, their significance as domestic or agricultural pests (together with the measures employed against them), and any practical uses to man, for example as sources of food or medicines or products such as silk. -- The animals treated have been arranged, as far as possible, in modern taxonomic order, each section dealing with a particular ?type?, or group of types, distinguished in Antiquity'. The identification of each type is followed by an account of what was known or believed about each animal?s life history' and distinctive habits. -- This book is a valuable source of reference for ancient and natural historians.
