Curculio Scholarly Books Catalogue I: Classical

Form of Payment: For UVa Classics Department sales, I will gladly take cash, check (payable to 'Michael Hendry'), or Venmo ('Curculiunculus'). I can even take post-dated checks from impecunious grad students if the amounts are relatively low and the date not too distant. For the record, my address is:

Michael Hendry
229 E. Beverley, Apt. 5
Staunton, VA 24401
(540) 849-5366 (VIX-LENO)

All orders and inquiries should be sent to curculio@curculio.org.  First come, first served. Don't like my prices? Make me an offer, but (a) someone else may offer more, and (b) I don't promise to take offers if I think they're too low - I can always put them on ABE. I already have a couple dozen Classics books on ABE: search 'Curculio Scholarly Books'. Subtract 20% from whatever I'm asking there for my UVa price: since I won't be spending any money on postage, packing, or giving ABE their cut, it comes out to the same thing for me.

Note: Anything sold in the next ~22 hours can be delivered to the department tomorrow, Friday the 23rd, most likely in the early afternoon, since I already have to drive to Charlottesville. Buyers will of course be able to inspect the books before paying.

Also, these are only the first half of the books I'm selling, but the other half, including ~15 Budés old and new, plus any of these not claimed by tomorrow, will have to wait until the imminent winter storm is cleared away, so probably two or three weeks. I'm too old to drive over Afton Mountain in the dark, much less in snow and sleet. Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures: I wanted to get this done today.

Classics:

I. Collected Papers:

• Jerzy Linderski, Roman Questions I-II, a bit of ugly staining on Volume I, as delivered, see second picture. Contents pristine. $350.
• Arnoldo Momigliano, Contributi alla Storia dei Studi Classici I-IX, complete in 9 virtual and 12 physical volumes. Spines a bit faded. Totally clean inside. $1,200.
• Filologia e Storia, Scritti di Enzo Degani 1-2, Olms, $20. (NEW)
• Benedetto Marzullo, Scripta Minora 1-2, Olms, $20. (NEW)
• Eduard Wölfflin, Ausgewählte Schriften, Olms, $20. (NEW)

II. Reference Works:

• Supplementum Hellenisticum plus Supplementum Supplementi Hellenistici, near-perfect condition, $350. (NEW)
• Usener's Epicurea, mildly ugly reprint, $20. (NEW)
• von Arnim's Stoicorum Veterum Fragmenta, 4 volumes in 2, mildly ugly reprint, $80. (NEW)
• Philippe Aries and Georges Duby, general editors, A History of Private Life, complete in 5 volumes. Cloth: NF/VG+, contents totally clean and tight, covers very slightly wrinkled on some edges. $25.
• Kühner-Stegmann I-III, with Index Locorum. Almost like new reprints. $80.
• Schanz-Hosius, Römische Literatur-Geschichte I-II. Old but in good shape. $30.
• Schmid-Stählin, Griechische Literatur-Geschichte I.1-4. Old but in good shape. $20.
• Der Neue Pauly, original German volumes including joke entry for 'Apoudobolia' in Volume 1. Fifteen virtual volumes in 18 physical volumes, including 12/1-2 and 15/1-3. Further supplementary volumes were added, but they can be bought separately at reasonable prices, much less than the original $150 or so each, as can these. However, shipping and (probably) tariffs would increase the delivery cost enormously, so this is still a bargain.. Would be 'Near Fine' except that volumes 6 and 9 are slightly disfigured by bug stains: see second picture. $540 or best offer.





III.a. Teubners - all except Musonius and Gorgias are the old kind, sewn in signatures with real paper or cloth covers, the latter mostly elegant burlap, not the glued-in pages and greasy plastic covers of the newer printings:

• Andocides, ed Fr. Blass, C. Fuhr, Teubner, Stuttgart, 1966 reprint of 1913 fourth ('correctior') edition. Paper, corners slightly bent, penciled price inside, contents clean and tight. $10.
• Antiphon, Orationes et Fragmenta, ed. Fr. Blass, Th. Thalheim, Teubner, Stuttgart, 1966 reprint of 1914 first edition. Paper, faded strip on lower edge of front cover, small (1 mm) spot on back cover, corners slightly bent, 'sale' stamped on lower edge, previous price crossed out in ink inside, contents clean and tight. $10.
• Epicurus, Epistulae Tres et Ratae Sententiae, ed. von der Muehll, 1982. Paper, corner bent. $22.
• Euripides, Bacchae, edidit E. Chr. Kopff, Teubner, 1982. Cloth, no DJ. NF. $35.
• Aristoteles, Fragmenta, ed. V. Rose, $90. (NEW)
• Musonius Rufus, ed. O. Hense, tacky reprint, $40. (NEW)
• Euclides I, Elementa I-IV, ed. E. S. Stamatis, 1969. Rare. $100.
• Caecilius Calactinus, Fragmenta, ed. E. Ofenloch. Silly me, I thought I was buying a Roman Republican dramatist, not whatever Greek prose this is. $28.
• Dictys Cretensis, ed. W. Eisenhut, 1973. $25.
• Silius Italicus I-II, ed. L. Bauer, 2 volumes, much older and more worn than the rest of these, $10 for both.
• Not pictured - it's around here somewhere: Gorgias: Helena, brand new, still wrapped in plastic. $40. (NEW)



III.b. Budés - old and new: (NEW CATEGORY)

• Apollonios de Rhodes, Argonautiques, Chants I-II, ed. Vian/Delage, paper. $25. (Costs €64 new.)
• Apollonios de Rhodes, Argonautiques, Chant IV, ed. Vian/Delage, cloth. Sorry, I've never had a copy of Book III. $25.(Costs €55 new.)
• Lysias, Discours I-XV, $8.
• Aviénus, Les Phénomenes d'Aratos, ed. J. Soubiran. $20. (Costs €41 new.)
• Celse, De la Médicine, Livres I-II, $30. (Costs €64 new.)
• Columelle, De l'Agriculture, Livre X, $10.
• Éloge Funèbre d'une Matrone Romaine (the so-called Laudatio Turiae), $15. (Costs €31 new.)

• Claudien, Oeuvres IV, Petites Poèmes, e. $30. (Costs €65 new.)
• Claudien, Oeuvres II.1, Poèmes Politiques, 1^re partie (395-398). Note: This is a 'broken set': that's why it's so cheap. II.1 and II.2 are not supposed to be sold separately, a bookseller sold me II.1 without II.2, and told me not to bother sending it back when he realized he couldn't sell it to anyone else. If you think, as I do, that In Rufinum is his best work, why not get the volume that contains it, plus the panegyrics on Olybrius and Probinus and the 3rd consulate of Honorius? It's quite a handsome book, full of excellent verse. $3.
• De Rebus Bellicis, Sur les Affaires Militaires, $32. (Costs €65 new.)

Miscellaneous Non-Books

• Socrates Cigar Boxes. These are not only rather pretty, they're the perfect size (4" x 6") for storing the smallest (3.5" x 5.5") Moleskine notebooks, with enough extra room to fit your fingers, so you don't have to turn them upside down to get the notebooks out. Unfortunately, they only fit 8 or 9, so you can't put all your notes on Plato's Republic in one box, if you allow a 2-page spread for every Stephanus page, meaning one Moleskine per book. Price: $3 each. I have six or eight to spare.
• Julius Caeser [sic] Cigar Boxes. The name is not misspelled: it's the last name of the owner of the company. Very fancy inside (purple felt and ribbon) and out (fake leather). Not quite big enough for the medium-sized Moleskine notebooks, but handy for storing other things, e.g. pens and pencils. Price: $10 each. I have just these two to spare.
• Latin Pamphlet for Priests and Nuns Flying PanAm, 1962. Amaze your students by showing how knowledge of Latin can (or could) be practical. $1.00 each. I have a dozen or so to spare.
