Book Synopsis Oracula Chaldaica Latine by : Helmut Seng
Download or read book Oracula Chaldaica Latine written by Helmut Seng and published by Universitatsverlag Winter. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nur wenige griechische Texte dürften in der frühen Neuzeit öfter ins Lateinische übertragen worden sein als die ,Chaldaeischen Orakel'. Von unterschiedlichsten Verfassern wurden sowohl die Sammlungen der byzantinischen Zeit (Psellos und Plethon) als auch die zugehörigen Kommentare und systematischen Abrisse übersetzt, paraphrasiert und nachgedichtet; die Sammlung Plethons war auch Gegenstand von Lehrveranstaltungen, zu denen Vorlesungsmitschriften überliefert sind. Francesco Patrizi legte 1591 eine neue Sammlung vor, die den Umfang des Vorhandenen weit übertraf, auch sie mit lateinischer Übersetzung, die bald weitere Bearbeitung erfuhr. Die vorliegende Ausgabe vereint 26 Einzeltexte aus dem 15. bis 17. Jahrhundert, die teils als Drucke vorliegen, teils nur handschriftlich überliefert sind - insgesamt wird fast die Hälfte hier erstmals ediert. Kurze Einleitungen enthalten biographische Angaben, Bestimmungen der griechischen Vorlagen und Charakterisierungen der Übersetzungsverfahren.

Book Synopsis The Philosophy of the Few against the Christians by : Pier Franco Beatrice
Download or read book The Philosophy of the Few against the Christians written by Pier Franco Beatrice and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives us a new perspective on the Philosophy according to the Chaldean Oracles by Porphyry of Tyre (ca. 232/305 CE), demonstrating that much of what we thought we knew about this work and its fragments is mistaken. Here, for the first time, the attempt is made at reconstructing the original text by following the vicissitudes of its reception and transmission from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance up to modern scholarship. The extensive and painstaking study of the surviving fragments leads to the radically innovative conclusion that this encyclopedic treatise, written by Porphyry in the last decades of the 3rd century CE, consisted of fifteen books organized in various sections. After an initial discussion of the nature of theurgy and of its subordinate role with respect to philosophy, Porphyry describes the entire history of Greek philosophy from Homer up to his own teacher Plotinus, to then go on to present “introductions” to the seven encyclical disciplines whose study is required for the comprehension of theosophy, that is, the esoteric speculation on the three parts of philosophy: anthropology-ethics, physics, and metaphysics-theology. By harmonizing the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, and the Chaldean Oracles, Porphyry intends to present the complete and definitive philosophic system, with the aim of showing the universal way for the liberation of the souls of initiates and of contextually fighting the final battle of the Greco-Roman civilization against Christianity.
Book Synopsis Astrology and Magic from the Medieval Latin and Islamic World to Renaissance Europe by : Paola Zambelli
Download or read book Astrology and Magic from the Medieval Latin and Islamic World to Renaissance Europe written by Paola Zambelli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrology and Magic from the Medieval Latin and Islamic World to Renaissance Europe brings together ten of Paola Zambelli's papers on the subject, four of which are published in English for the first time. The papers in Part I of this volume deal with theories: the ideas of astrology and magic held by Renaissance thinkers; astrologers' ideas on universal history and its cycles; i.e. catastrophes and rebirths, theories; and myths regarding the spontaneous generation of man himself. Part II focuses on the role of astrologers in Renaissance society. As political counsellors, courtiers, and academics, their ideas were diffused and appreciated in both popular and high culture. Part III looks at the Great Conjunction of 1524 and on the long and extended debate surrounding it, which would not have been possible prior to Gutenberg, since astrologers printed numberless booklets (full of religious and political innuendo) predicting the catastrophe - flood, as well as earthquake or fire - foreseen for February 1524 (which, in the event, proved to be a month of extraordinary mild weather). Part IV reprints some review-articles of twentieth century scholars whose writing has contributed to our understanding of the historical problems concerning magic and other connected debates.
Book Synopsis Transforming Topoi by : Andrew James Johnston
Download or read book Transforming Topoi written by Andrew James Johnston and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionen leben von der Dialektik der Wiederholung, die das Gleiche stets anders inszeniert. Sie speisen sich aus den Erinnerungen; an der Grenze von bedacht und selbstverständlich getan lassen sie sich nur als selbstverständliche Überzeugungen bestimmen. Aber wie ist es dennoch möglich, Traditionen zu beeinflussen? Der vorliegende Band widmet sich der Frage, wie man mit Traditionen Symbolpolitik machen kann. Was sind die Zumutungen der Traditionen, wenn sie politisch instrumentalisiert werden? Gibt es Grenzen der Manipulation, die im Wesen der jeweiligen Traditionen liegen und sie folglich definieren? Die BeiträgerInnen geben eine Vielzahl von Antworten, indem sie sich Topoi aus Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive widmen. Traditions thrive on the dialectic of repetition. Drawing their topoi from the well of memory, they are situated on the very border between the deliberate and the habitual. Yet how is it possible to influence traditions? The present collection of essays studies the ways in which traditions are employed in the service of symbolic politics. What are the burdens and impositions of traditions, when their topoi are consciously exploited in the service of ideological purposes? Are there certain limits to manipulation that lie in the very nature of the traditions in question, a nature which therefore defines them? The contributors give a host of answers, studying topoi in medieval and early modern Europe from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Book Synopsis Gnosis and Hermeticism from Antiquity to Modern Times by : R. van den Broek
Download or read book Gnosis and Hermeticism from Antiquity to Modern Times written by R. van den Broek and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces what has sometimes been called "the third component of western culture". It traces the historical development of those religious traditions which have rejected a world view based on the primacy of pure rationality or doctrinal faith, emphasizing instead the importance of inner enlightenment or gnosis: a revelatory experience which was typically believed to entail an encounter with one's true self as well as with the ground of being, God. The contributors to this book demonstrate this perspective as fundamental to a variety of interconnected traditions. In Antiquity, one finds the gnostics and hermetics; in the Middle Ages several Christian sects. The medieval Cathars can, to a certain extent, be considered part of the same tradition. Starting with the Italian humanist Renaissance, hermetic philosophy became of central importance to a new religious synthesis that can be referred to as Western Esotericism. The development of this tradition is described from Renaissance hermeticists and practitioners of spiritual alchemy to the emergence of Rosicrucianism and Christian theosophy in the seventeenth century, and from post-enlightenment aspects of Romanticism and occultism to the present-day New Age movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of scholarship has undergone a complete renewal in recent years, and is now a major branch of research with vast territories to explore; a substantial introduction to History of Scholarship surveys the past vicissitudes of the history of scholarship and its current expansion.The authors, all specialists of international standing, come from a variety of backgrounds: classical studies, history of religions, philosophy, early modern intellectual and religioushistory. Their papers illustrate a variety of themes and approaches, including Renaissance antiquarianism and philology; the rise of the notion of criticism; Biblical and patristic scholarship, and its implications for both confessional orthodoxy and eighteeenth-century free thought; the history of philosophy;and German historiographical thought in both the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. This challenging volume constitutes a collection of remarkable quality, helping to establish the history of scholarship as a more broadly acknowledged, worthwhile field of study in its own right.

Book Synopsis Le chevalier de Maison-Rouge by : Alexandre Dumas

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C'était pendant la soirée du 10 mars 1793. Dix heures venaient de tinter à Notre-Dame, et chaque heure, se détachant l'une après l'autre comme un oiseau nocturne élancé d'un nid de bronze, s'était envolée triste, monotone et vibrante. La nuit était descendue sur Paris, non pas bruyante, orageuse et entrecoupée d'éclairs, mais froide et brumeuse. Paris lui-même n'était point ce Paris que nous connaissons, éblouissant le soir de mille feux qui se reflètent dans sa fange dorée, le Paris aux promeneurs affairés, aux chuchotements joyeux, aux faubourgs bachiques, pépinière de querelles audacieuses, de crimes hardis, fournaise aux mille rugissements: c'était une citée honteuse, timide, affairée, dont les rares habitants couraient pour traverser d'une rue à l'autre, et se précipitaient dans leurs allées ou sous leurs portes cochères, comme des bêtes fauves traquées par les chasseurs s'engloutissent dans leurs terriers. C'était enfin, comme nous l'avons dit, le Paris du 10 mars 1793. Quelques mots sur la situation extrême qui avait amené ce changement dans l'aspect de la capitale, puis nous entamerons les événements dont le récit fera l'objet de cette histoire. La France, par la mort de Louis XVI, avait rompu avec toute l'Europe. Aux trois ennemis qu'elle avait d'abord combattus, c'est-à-dire à la Prusse, à l'Empire, au Piémont, s'étaient jointes l'Angleterre, la Hollande et l'Espagne. La Suède et le Danemark seuls conservaient leur vieille neutralité, occupés qu'ils étaient, du reste, à regarder Catherine y déchirant la Pologne. La situation était effrayante. La France, moins dédaignée comme puissance physique, mais aussi moins estimée comme puissance morale depuis les massacres de Septembre et l'exécution du 21 janvier, était littéralement bloquée comme une simple ville de l'Europe entière. L'Angleterre était sur nos côtes, l'Espagne sur les Pyrénées, le Piémont et l'Autriche sur les Alpes, la Hollande et la Prusse dans le nord des Pays-Bas, et sur un seul point, du Haut-Rhin à l'Escaut, deux cent cinquante mille combattants marchaient contre la République. Partout nos généraux étaient repoussés. Maczinski avait été obligé d'abandonner Aix-la-Chapelle et de se retirer sur Liège. Steingel et Neuilly étaient rejetés dans le Limbourg; Miranda, qui assiégeait Maëstricht, s'était replié sur Tongres. Valence et Dampierre, réduits à battre en retraite, s'étaient laissé enlever une partie de leur matériel. Plus de dix mille déserteurs avaient déjà abandonné l'armée et s'étaient répandus dans l'intérieur. Enfin, la Convention, n'ayant plus d'espoir qu'en Dumouriez, lui avait envoyé courrier sur courrier pour lui ordonner de quitter les bords du Biesboos, où il préparait un débarquement en Hollande, afin de venir prendre le commandement de l'armée de la Meuse. Sensible au cœur comme un corps animé, la France ressentait à Paris, c'est-à-dire à son cœur même, chacun des coups que l'invasion, la révolte ou la trahison lui portaient aux points les plus éloignés. Chaque victoire était une émeute de joie, chaque défaite un soulèvement de terreur. On comprend donc facilement quel tumulte avaient produit les nouvelles des échecs successifs que nous venions d'éprouver. La veille, 9 mars, il y avait eu à la Convention une séance des plus orageuses: tous les officiers avaient reçu l'ordre de rejoindre leurs régiments à la même heure; et Danton, cet audacieux proposeur des choses impossibles qui s'accomplissaient cependant, Danton, montant à la tribune, s'était écrié: «Les soldats manquent, dites-vous? Offrons à Paris une occasion de sauver la France, demandons-lui trente mille hommes, envoyons-les à Dumouriez, et non seulement la France est sauvée, mais la Belgique est assurée, mais la Hollande est conquise.»
