Westdeutscher Verlag, Köln / Opladen, 1958. 342p. Cloth wrps. Series: Wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, Band 5. 'Surely the most valuable section of the book, pp.267-338, 'Die homerische Gleichnisbildung'. Jachmann maintains that the subject and the simile are essentially connected only by the 'tertium comparationis'. Let A be the main theme, B the object compared: the comparison will be found to be based on a specific (and often explicit) 'point of likeness'. Once that 'Vergleichspunkt' has been established, B may go his own way, however inappropriate to A. The point is fundamental top the understanding of the similes, and Jachmann proves it in the only possible way - by giving us text and discussion of a large number of examples. (...) Time after time he shows how the simlie, once the point of likeness has been established, goes its own way regardless of its startingpoint; how it may… Read More

Rider & Company, London, 1970. 208p. Paperback. 'The title of the book is somewhat misleading: the book deals (sometimes rather superficially) with spiritualism in antiquity.

Hakkert, Amsterdam, 2000. 157p. Sewn. (Rare). '?In total we have seventy-seven fragments of Istrus but many of these, alas, tell us too little to interpret them successfully?, déclare St. Jackson dans l?Introduction de son ouvrage. Un collaborateur de Callimaque dans le domaine de l?hisotire et partiellement de la ?grammaire?, dont on ne sait pratiquement rien et dont on n?a presque plus rien. Jackson parvient cependant à nous fournir un exposé de près de 150 pages, citations comprises. (?) L?auteur tient Istrus pour un zélateur de la politique de syncrétisme attribuée aux Lagides. (?) Il en résulte un ensemble d?informations qui se dispersent de façon éclatée autour et alentour du personnage envisagé. (?) Cela tient au sujet, non point à son auteur, qui ne manque pas de mérite et de savoir-faire.? (DANIEL DONNET in L?antiquité classique, 2002, p.299). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux.

'The method of the book's composition was as remarkable as its contents. The greater part of Jackson's life was spent not in the studious seclusion of a university but in a remote village in the wilds of Cumberland, where he managed his mother's farm, his reading and writing being of necessity done on his return from the day's work.' (...) The whole book is written in a most lively and provocative style (...).' (MAURICE PLATNAUER in The Classical Review (New Series), 1956, p.112).
