[PU: Merchantville: Evolution Publishing], 188 p. Paperback. 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). - Ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar / an excellent and clean copy. - The earliest surviving work of a Gothic historian, Jordanes’ Origin and Deeds of the Goths recounts the history of these Germanic peoples from their legendary origins in Scandinavia through the glory years of conquest in the Western Roman Empire to the downfall of the Ostrogoths at the time of Justinian. Writing in the mid-6th century AD, Jordanes is presumed to be a bishop of Gothic origin living in Constantinople, perhaps an associate of Pope Vigilius. His history draws heavily from the work of other ancient historians such as Ablabius, Cassiodorus, and Priscus, much of which is no longer extant. Jordanes’ work recounts Gothic fables and migration legends as well as a lengthy account of the 5th century Romano-Gothic defense of Italy against the armies of Attila the Hun. The Gothic History is a fascinating look into this turbulent period when Western Europe transitioned from the world of classical antiquity to the Middle Ages. / CONTENTS I. INTRODUCTION I.
