Wiedemann, Thomas : Greek and Roman slavery

Croom Helm, London, 1983

ISBN 0709903898

There has not been any previous collection of relevant ancient sources in a form suitable for students or specialists in disciplines such as Modern or Social and Economic History unfamiliar with the classical languages - indeed, there does not even exist such a collection for specialists in Classics. -- This selection provides readers interested in ancient slavery with translations in contemporary English of those major texts from Greek and Latin literature to which modern scholarship constantly refers, as well as a small sample of the epigraphical and other non-literary material. -- Cross-references, Bibliography, and a detailed Index are provided to make it particularly suitable for use by School and University classes. Although it is intended as a supplement and not a substitute for a systematic treatment of the subject, and the author s interpretative comment is kept to a minimum, the material is arranged with introductions bringing out the significance of each of the chosen passages. 283p, map incdex.
