The Clausula In Ammianus Marcellinus (1910)

The Clausula In Ammianus Marcellinus is a book written by Austin Morris Harmon and published in 1910. The book is a scholarly analysis of the writing style of the Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus specifically focusing on his use of a literary device known as the clausula. The clausula is a type of rhetorical flourish that involves the repetition of certain words or phrases at the end of successive clauses or sentences. Harmon examines how Ammianus used this device in his historical writings and argues that it was a key element of his distinctive style. The book includes numerous examples of clausulae from Ammianus' works as well as detailed analysis of their structure and function. It is intended for scholars of ancient history and literature as well as anyone interested in the art of rhetoric and the development of literary style.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
