Kok, Kampen, 1983. 125p. Paperback. Name and date on half title. Als één historische figuur uit de Oudheid de aandacht van de beoefenaars van de counterfactual history verdient dan is dit zeker Julianus de Afvallige. De vraag hoe de evolutie van het Romeinse rijk en van het christendom zou zijn verlopen indien deze keizer die in 361 op dertigjarige leeftijd de troon besteeg, niet slechts twintig maanden maar, zoals zijn oom Constantijn de Grote, vijfentwintig jaar had geregeerd, kan niet anders dan de verbeelding prikkelen. In die twintig maanden van zijn regering ondernam Julianus, die in een christelijk milieu was opgegroeid en het christendom van binnenuit kende, een radicale poging om een einde te maken aan de voorkeursbehandeling die het christendom dan al bijna een halve eeuw genoot en stelde alles in het werk om de pagane eredienst te herstellen en te propageren.

Hakkert, Amsterdam, 1968. 132p. Cloth. Name and date on free endpaper. (Rare). 'From the fifth century to the time of Cicero the mixed constitution plays an important part in political thought (though a much smaller one in political practice). (...) The mixed constitution deserves study and this book is to be welcomed as a useful survey (...). Aalders covers a vast field with clarity and good sense. (...) Where it came from remains uncertain, but his suggestion that it arose in a context of practical politics, coloured by sophistic (and even, he admits, Pythagorean) thinking, is at least plausible (...). The first mixture of political abstractions (...) comes in Plato's 'Menexenus' (238 cd), and from then onwards the concept is common in political discussions. (...) Aalders has some good comments on Polybius' constitutional chapters, and he rightly points out that the mixed constitution is a Procrustes' bed when applied to Rome. But his misunderstanding of the… Read More
