Introduction ; Text and transmission -- Economy. Property ; Slaves -- Family. The wife ; The boy -- Text and translations of Bryson. 330 $aBryson's Management of the Estate (Oikonomikos Logos) offers advice on the key private concerns of the Roman elite: getting rich, managing slaves, love and marriage, bringing up children. This estate owner is a farmer and a merchant, making his money through good and effective business. His wife is co-owner of the estate and their love promotes material prosperity. Their child needs twenty-four hour supervision in 'all his affairs'. Bryson's book was almost certainly written in the mid-first century AD, but survives mainly in Arabic. It had a profound effect on Islamic thinking on the economy and on marriage, but is virtually unknown to classicists. This new edition of the text together with the first English translation will appeal to Roman social and economic historians, students of imperial Greek literature and all those interested in the development of Greco-Roman thought in the Islamic empire of the Middle Ages. 517 3 $aEconomy, Family, & Society from Rome to Islam 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zRome$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aRome$xSocial conditions$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aElite (Social sciences) 676 $a305.52093763 700 $aSwain$b Simon$0176530 701 2$aBryso?n$01480054 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779980703321 996 $aEconomy, family, and society from Rome to Islam$93696534 997 $aUNINA
