Nikolaj Velimirović - 1926
    The author of this huge work has now himself been added to the calendar of saints of the Orthodox Church, St. Nikolai Velimirovich. He served the Church as a bishop in both his native Serbia and the United States, and survived a Nazi torture camp. He was a great scholar, storyteller, and poet, as well as a great preacher and pastor.These two volumes cover every day of the Orthodox Church ecclesiastical year with wonderful devotional and educational material for the edification of Christian individuals and families who wish to immerse themselves in the life of the Church. They may also be used as reference sources for the lives of the saints by using the alphabetical index of saints' names at the back of each volume. The title of these books was given as The Prologue from Ochrid in the earlier abridged 4-volume edition published in England. The author's name is often transliterated into English as "Nikolaj Velimirovich".This two-volume American edition published in 2002 is the only complete and unabridged edition in English, and includes the remarkable hymns written by St. Nikolai. It is a new translation from the original Serbian.The good translation, readable type, pleasing layouts, and quality binding make this the definitive English edition of the Prologue. --- Randall Mark Trainer

Philippics I-II (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics)


Marcus Tullius Cicero - 1926
    Denniston's of 1926 to present the Latin text and commentary on the First and Second Philippics, two of Cicero's most polished orations, composed less than six months after the murder of Julius Caesar in March 44 BC. This period--roughly 63-44 BC--is important because the Roman state was in transition from Republic to Empire. The Second Philippic not only presents Cicero's assessment of his own political career and his place in Roman history from a perspective late in his life, but it also provides a vivid eyewitness account of how Julius Caesar, with the help of Mark Antony, made himself master of Rome.
