This Is A New Release Of The Original 1903 Edition.

Plato's Parmenides presents the modern reader with a puzzle. Noted for being the most difficult of Platonic dialogues, it is also one of the most influential. This new edition of the work includes the Greek text on facing pages, with an English translation by Arnold Hermann in collaboration with Sylvana Chrysakopoulou. The Introduction provides an overview and commentary aimed at scholars and first time readers alike.

Michelagniolo, Lionardo, Raffael.... neben Klinger und Menzel gibt auch der Name Bocklin erst den rechten Dreiklang, der der Vollklang an der Altersschwelle unseres Jahrhunderts ist!" Arnold Bocklin (1827-1901), beruhmt fur seinen unverkennbaren Stil, der sich durch deutliche Konturen und eine intensive Leuchtkraft der Farben auszeichnete, war Vertreter des Symbolismus und einer der bedeutendsten bildenden Kunstler im Europa des 19. Jahrhunderts. Auch deshalb widmete Franz Hermann Meissner ihm 1899 eine seiner Kunstlermonographien." Meissner ist ein ausgesprochener Verehrer Bocklins. Er betitelt die Laufbahn des Kunstlers als Fundgrube fur Menschenkenntnis." In dessen Werk sieht er eine kulturgeschichtliche That."

This is the only accurate translation of the main contemporary historical source for the Anabaptist kingdom of Münster (1534-35). Written by Hermann von Kerssenbrock, a young Catholic eyewitness who later became a schoolmaster, the monumental Latin original was never printed during the author’s life, and circulated only in manuscript format until the editio princeps of 1899/1900; the only previous translation was an unreliable German version written in 1771. This work contains a number of documents not otherwise available, and the author’s conceptions have had a profound influence on later interpretations of the lurid events surrounding one of the most unusual occurrences of the German Reformation. The extensive introduction and notes place the text in its historical context.
