Bryson's Management of the Estate (Oikonomikos Logos) offers advice
on the key private concerns of the Roman elite: getting rich,
managing slaves, love and marriage, and bringing up children. This
estate owner is a farmer and a merchant, making his money through
good and effective business. His wife is co-owner of the estate and
their love promotes material prosperity. Their child needs
twenty-four hour supervision in 'all his affairs'. Bryson's book
was almost certainly written in the mid-first century AD, but
survives mainly in Arabic. It had a profound effect on Islamic
thinking on the economy and on marriage, but is virtually unknown
to classicists. This new edition of the text together with the
first English translation will appeal to Roman social and economic
historians, students of imperial Greek literature and all those
interested in the development of Greco-Roman thought in the Islamic
empire of the Middle Ages.
