God; Space; and City in the Roman Imagination is a unique exploration of the relationship between the ancient Romans visual and literary cultures and their imagination. Drawing on a vast range of ancient sources; poetry and prose; texts; and material culture from all levels of Roman society; it analyses how the Romans used; conceptualized; viewed; and moved around their city.Jenkyns pays particular attention to the other inhabitants of Rome; the gods; and investigates how the Romans experienced and encountered them; with a particular emphasis on the personal and subjective aspects of religious life. Through studying interior spaces; both secular (basilicas; colonnades; and forums) and sacred spaces (the temples where the Romans looked upon their gods) and their representation in poetry; the volume also follows the development of an architecture of the interior inthe great Roman public works of the first and second centuries AD. While providing new insights into the working of the Romans imagination; it also offers powerful challenges to some long established orthodoxies about Roman religion and cultural behaviour.

Unlike some fake books; the entire music (not just the chorus) is included. I have yet to get all of the way through the book; however; I have gone sufficiently far to realize its quality. My only objection is that many of the pieces are continued on a following page which is sometimes irritating since it is possible for there to be a pause in the played music as the page is turned. Of course; this primarily occurs while sight reading the music. I can highly recommend the fake book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
