Bemerkungen

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly bumped, stains on staples, author's name underlined on cover, stamp on back cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: Ever since the days of Socrates and Plato, at least some statesmen have been very much aware of the role of education in the preparation of men for their duties in the state as well as in private life. Modern educational problems, which will affect the welfare of the state, are only too familiar; and we know that similar problems existed in antiquity. A characteristic understanding of what was involved appears in the brief treatise on educating children written by St John Chrysostom, in the latter part of the fourth century. Toward the end of the work, Chrysostom describes in painfully familiar terms the way in which children become fractious over incidents which seem quite trivial to their parents, such as the loss or breaking of writing implements. Chrysostom gives expert advice on dealing with such crises, and then breaks off and exclaims, “I am not speaking of trifles; we are discussing the governance of the world.” - Wikipedia: Robert Emory Glanville Downey (14 June 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland — 18 December 1991 in Sacramento, California) was an American historian, specializing in history of Late antiquity, primarily in the early Byzantine East and the era of Justinian.
