The Speeches of Isaeus: With Critical and Explanatory Notes by Isaeus (English)

Description: The Speeches of Isaeus by Isaeus Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Isaeus, an Attic orator of the fourth century BCE, made speeches which exemplify the intrigue of ancient inheritance disputes. First published in 1904, this learned edition of his surviving speeches, with a critical introduction and commentary by the classical scholar William Wyse (1860-1929), remains a standard work. Publisher Description Very little is known about the life of the Attic orator Isaeus, who was active during the first half of the fourth century BCE, and many of his speeches have been lost to posterity. Published in 1904, these surviving speeches, presented in the original Greek with extensive commentary by the classical scholar William Wyse (1860-1929), are mostly concerned with the convoluted intrigue of inheritance disputes. Wyse regarded Isaeus as an unscrupulous falsifier of law and fact in the service of clients whose claims to the estates they contested were, without exception, fraudulent. While modern scholars may not fully share this view, Wyses monumental and learned edition is still a standard work in the study of ancient family law. In addition to a critical introduction, the texts of the speeches, and the detailed commentary, this work also includes family trees to aid understanding of the complex cases.
