Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The German scholar Hermann Usener (1834 1905) made an important
contribution to nineteenth-century scholarship in the fields of
philology and comparative religion. In order to recreate a picture
of the religions of the Greco-Roman world he drew on elements from
the fields of ethnology, phenomenology and hermeneutics. This
four-volume collection of essays and reviews was published
posthumously in 1912 1914. Volume 1 (1912) focuses on Greek
philosophy and rhetoric, addressing such diverse topics as
Theophrastus' books on the law, Epicurean sayings and ancient
verse. It also includes contributions on Greek grammar and textual
criticism, as well as reviews by Usener of publications by his
contemporaries which provide fascinating insights into the lively
intellectual debates of his time.

topics including rhyme in old Latin poetry, Latin historians,
Cicero and Horace, as well as the abolition of the gladiator
schools. Works reviewed by Usener in this volume include
publications by such prolific contemporaries as Mommsen and
Plasberg.

Greek literary history and on the development of philology as an
independent discipline. Usener pinpoints the time when Plato wrote
Phaedrus, discusses the development of Attic theatre and
contributes to the history of astronomical symbols. The volume also
includes several reviews.

essays on the history of religion, arranged in chronological order.
Usener's impressive command of the field is demonstrated in this
wide-ranging book, which includes studies of the god Kallone, flood
myths, John Chrysostom's understanding of the origins of the divine
liturgy, and Keraunos, the King of Macedonia.
Hermann Karl Usener (1834 1905) published his monumental Epicurea
in 1887. The volume is a collection of Epicurean texts and
citations from a wide range of classical authors including Arrian,
Cicero, Diodorus, Euripides, Plato and Seneca. The volume includes
critical texts of Epicurus' most important letters: Letter to
Menoeceus, Letter to Herodotus and Letter to Pythocles, preserved
by the third-century compiler Diogenes Laertius. The letters give
important summaries of Epicurus' philosophy. Usener's pioneering
work represented the first attempt to deal critically with the
manuscript traditions behind Epicurean texts. His reconstructions
of the texts included in this volume are based on a thorough
understanding of the trajectories of textual transmission. Each
text is supported by a detailed critical apparatus, and another
apparatus records manuscript glosses and scholia. This work
provided for the first time accurate and reliable texts for the
critical study of Epicureanism.
