Book Description
St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397, was one of the most important figures of the fourth century Roman empire. This volume explores the enormous impact of Ambrose on Western civilization, and examines the complexity of his ideas and influence; as a poet, ascetic, mystic and politician. Ambrose combines an up-to-date account of his life and work, with translations of key writings. Ramsey's volume presents a comprehensive and accessible insight into a relatively unexplored persona and argues that Ambrose has influenced the Western world in ways as yet unrealized.

Book Description
Excerpt from Occasional Addresses: And the Letters of Mr. Ambrose on the Rebellion The citizens of Baltimore have been lately invited to the consideration of a plan, submitted to them by the trustees of the university, for carrying into effect the design of the Legislature in reference to that institution. It is more a matter of surprise that this undertaking should not before have been brought into the public view, than that it should, at this time, begin to excite an interest among our citizens. The inducements which might be expected to urge and promote such an establishment have, for some years past, been sufficiently apparent to render it a natural inquiry, why this scheme has been delayed so long. The present age is characterized by a powerful impulse towards a reform of the institutions of society. Men have been made more conversant with the principles of free government; they have been taught to discard ancient prejudices; and to investigate those subjects, upon a knowledge of which depends the capacity to multiply and diffuse the conveniences of life.

Book Description
The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading the general of the most powerful imaginable army to free her people. The parabolic story was set as an example of how God will help the righteous. Judith's heroic action not only became a validating charter myth of Judaism itself but has also been appropriated by many Christian and secular groupings, and has been an inspiration for numerous literary texts and works of art. It continues to exercise its power over artists, authors and academics and is becoming a major field of research in its own right. The Sword of Judith is the first multidisciplinary collection of essays to discuss representations of Judith throughout the centuries. It transforms our understanding across a wide range of disciplines. The collection includes new archival source studies, the translation of unpublished manuscripts, the translation of texts unavailable in English, and Judith images and music.
