Book Synopsis Epigrams from the Anthologia Latina by :
Download or read book Epigrams from the Anthologia Latina written by and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new scholarly edition consists of the Latin text, with translation and detailed commentary, of a sequence of epigrams from the Anthologia Latina (Shackleton Bailey 78-188). The introduction discusses whether these epigrams constitute a unified collection and are the work of a single author, examines their likely date and place of composition – which, it is argued, is North Africa under Vandal rule –, and sets them in their cultural context. The line-by-line commentary covers issues of literary, linguistic and historical significance. Although text and interpretation of these pieces present frequent difficulties, the author confirms that they make up a fascinating collection of considerable importance and merit, contrary to the low reputation generally associated with the Anthologia Latina. The book will be of great interest to students of Latin literature and language in general, the epigram tradition in particular, and the culture of Vandal Africa.
Book Synopsis The Manuscript Transmission of the Anthologia Latina by : Loriano Zurli
Download or read book The Manuscript Transmission of the Anthologia Latina written by Loriano Zurli and published by Weidmannsche Verlagsbuchhandlung. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Abhandlung betrifft nicht die handschriftliche Überlieferung der kurzen Gedichtreihen (die sog. kleineren anthologiae) und der einzelnen ‘verstreuten’ Texte, die in der kritischen Edition von A. Riese enthalten sind (Anthologia Latina I 1-2, Leipzig 1894-1906, gilt heute als Referenzausgabe), sondern bezieht sich auf die beiden großen kompakten Gedichtsammlungen namens Salmasiana und Vossiana, die fast komplett im ersten der beiden Bücher stehen und gewöhnlich mit dem Gesamttitel Anthologia Latina bezeichnet werden. Mit dem Ziel, diese Gedichtsammlung vollständig neu zu edieren, hat das Forschungszentrum für die Anthologia Latina in Perugia bisher die neuen kritischen Editionen und die Abhandlungen in den Reihen “Anthologiarum Latinarum I (1 Anthologia Vossiana), II (1 Anonymi versus serpentini, 2 Vnius poetae sylloge, 3 Coronatus)” und “Anthologiarum Latinarum parerga I-V” herausgegeben und die Jahrgänge I-VII, 2010-16 von “AL. Rivista di studi di Anthologia Latina” publiziert. Im Anhang findet man eine Untersuchung über den Umlauf des Codex plenior (rekonstruiert im Lichte der noch unveröffentlichten Briefe, die dessen Besitzer, Claude de Saumaise, und sein Freund Isaak Voss kurz vor der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts miteinander wechselten), die auf das Thema der Abhandlungen Apographa Salmasiana 1 und 2 (Hildesheim 2004 und 2010) Bezug nimmt. This essay does not concern the manuscript transmission of the short series of poems (the so-called minor anthologiae) and of the single ‘wandering’ texts contained in the critical edition by A. Riese, Anthologia Latina I2 1-2, Lipsiae 1894-1906 (which is today generally considered a reference edition), but regards the two large compact anthologies called Salmasiana and Vossiana, standing almost totally in the first of the two books, and normally designated with the overall title Anthologia Latina. Aiming at their total re-edition, the School on the Anthologia Latina of Perugia has so far edited the new critical editions and the essays contained within the series “Anthologiarum Latinarum I (1 Anthologia Vossiana), II (1 Anonymi versus serpentini, 2 Vnius poetae sylloge, 3 Coronatus)” and “Anthologiarum Latinarum parerga I-V”, and published the issues I-VII, 2010-16, of “AL. Rivista di studi di Anthologia Latina”. In the appendix there is the study on the circulation of the codex plenior (reconstructed in the light of the still unpublished letters which its owner, Claude de Saumaise, and his friend, Isaac Voss, wrote to each other a few years before the mid-seventeenth century) which refers to the subject of the essays Apographa Salmasiana 1 and 2 (Hildesheim 2004 and 2010 respectively).

Book Synopsis The Genres of Late Antique Christian Poetry by : Fotini Hadjittofi
Download or read book The Genres of Late Antique Christian Poetry written by Fotini Hadjittofi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classicizing Christian poetry has largely been neglected by literary scholars, but has recently been receiving growing attention, especially the poetry written in Latin. One of the objectives of this volume is to redress the balance by allowing more space to discussions of Greek Christian poetry. The contributions collected here ask how Christian poets engage with (and are conscious of) the double reliance of their poetry on two separate systems: on the one hand, the classical poetic models and, on the other, the various genres and sub-genres of Christian prose. Keeping in mind the different settings of the Greek-speaking East and the Latin-speaking West, the contributions seek to understand the impact of historical setting on genre, the influence of the paideia shared by authors and audiences, and the continued relevance of traditional categories of literary genre. While our immediate focus is genre, most of the contributions also engage with the ideological ramifications of the transposition of Christian themes into classicizing literature. This volume offers important and original case studies on the reception and appropriation of the classical past and its literary forms by Christian poetry.
Book Synopsis Animo Decipiendi? by : Antonio Guzmán
Download or read book Animo Decipiendi? written by Antonio Guzmán and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many new and fruitful avenues of investigation open up when scholars consider forgery as a creative act rather than a crime. We invited authors to contribute work without imposing any restrictions beyond a willingness to consider new approaches to the subject of ancient fakes, forgeries and questions of authenticity. The result is this volume, in which our aim is to display some of the many possibilities available to scholarship. Following Splendide Mendax, this is the latest installment of an ongoing inquiry, conducted by scholars in numerous countries, into how the ancient world-its literature and culture, its history and art-appears when viewed through the lens of fakes and forgeries, sincerities and authenticities, genuine signatures and pseudepigrapha.
Book Synopsis Genres Rediscovered by : Anna Maria Wasyl
Download or read book Genres Rediscovered written by Anna Maria Wasyl and published by Wydawnictwo UJ. This book was released on 2011 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reader of the epyllion by Dracontius, the elegy by Maximianus, and the epigram by Luxorius should not expect that these works--and these new embodiments of the 'old' genres--will be wholly identical with their 'archetypes'. Were it so, it would mean that we read but second-rate versifiers, indeed. We may expect rather that thanks to the reading of Dracontius's epyllion, Maximianus's elegy, and Luxorius's epigram our understanding of these very genres may become fuller and deeper than if it was narrowed only to the study of the 'classical phase' of the Roman literature. Therefore, I have decided to employ in the title of my book the expression genres rediscovered. I have found it fair to emphasize that the poets whose works have been studied here merit appreciation for their creativity, and indeed courage, in reusing and reinterpreting the classical--and truly classic--literary heritage. In addition, I have found it similarly fair to stress that for the students of Latin literature the borderline between the 'classical' and the 'post-classical' is, and should be, flexible. It is not my intention of course to imply that aesthetic and poetological differences should be ignored or blurred. Quite the reverse, these differences are profound and multidimensional and as such must be properly understood and explained. The main issue is the fact that studies of Latin literature--or rather of literature in general - and especially generic studies require a proper, i.e. diachronic, perspective. A description of a certain genre based merely on its most important or generally known representative/representatives will always risk becoming incomplete and limited. In genology, one must be utterly prudent in defining the 'main' and the 'marginal', the 'relevant' and the 'negligible'. In this sense, an insight into a few genres practiced by some 'classical'--and classic--Roman poets from the perspective of their 'post-classical' followers may be, also for a genologist, an intriguing rediscovery.

Book Synopsis Latin Literatures of Medieval and Early Modern Times in Europe and Beyond by : Francesco Stella
Download or read book Latin Literatures of Medieval and Early Modern Times in Europe and Beyond written by Francesco Stella and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The textual heritage of Medieval Latin is one of the greatest reservoirs of human culture. Repertories list more than 16,000 authors from about 20 modern countries. Until now, there has been no introduction to this world in its full geographical extension. Forty contributors fill this gap by adopting a new perspective, making available to specialists (but also to the interested public) new materials and insights. The project presents an overview of Medieval (and post-medieval) Latin Literatures as a global phenomenon including both Europe and extra-European regions. It serves as an introduction to medieval Latin's complex and multi-layered culture, whose attraction has been underestimated until now. Traditional overviews mostly flatten specificities, yet in many countries medieval Latin literature is still studied with reference to the local history. Thus the first section presents 20 regional surveys, including chapters on authors and works of Latin Literature in Eastern, Central and Northern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Subsequent chapters highlight shared patterns of circulation, adaptation, and exchange, and underline the appeal of medieval intermediality, as evidenced in manuscripts, maps, scientific treatises and iconotexts, and its performativity in narrations, theatre, sermons and music. The last section deals with literary “interfaces,” that is motifs or characters that exemplify the double-sided or the long-term transformations of medieval Latin mythologemes in vernacular culture, both early modern and modern, such as the legends about King Arthur, Faust, and Hamlet.
Book Synopsis Munere mortis by : Eftychia Bathrellou
Download or read book Munere mortis written by Eftychia Bathrellou and published by Cambridge Philological Society. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin Austin (1941–2010), Professor of Greek at Cambridge and distinguished editor of poetic texts, was renowned for the precision and brilliance of his scholarship. This collection of studies, offered by some of his pupils, aims to honor his memory. The papers combine philology and textual criticism with a strong interest in setting the works under examination in their literary and cultural context. Individual contributions are devoted to the establishment of the text of the comic poet Menander and the epigrammatist Posidippus of Pella, while one chapter offers a new critical edition of and the first detailed commentary on a number of erotic epigrams. Other essays explore poetic, performative and narratological features in Socratic works of Plato and Xenophon. The volume also includes an analysis of the trope of pathetic fallacy in the bucolic poem Epitaph for Bion and a study of the concept of ‘frigidity’ in ancient literary criticism.

Book Synopsis The Fragmentary Latin Poets by : Edward Courtney
Download or read book The Fragmentary Latin Poets written by Edward Courtney and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand fully the development of Latin poetry, one has to consider not only the prominent figures whose works survive entire but also the writers known to us only in fragments, usually small, from quotations. The fragments of the non-dramatic poets have been collected by Baehrens, Morel,and Buchner, but only a few have ever received a commentary. This book revises the texts, taking advantage of much earlier work now largely forgotten, and provides the necessary interpretative and illustrative material. By building up, wherever possible, a picture of each writer, Professor Courtneyplaces them in relation to the development of Latin poetry and thus gathers together information at present widely scattered and not easy to locate. While omitting some material which does not contribute to the focus of the book, he adds some writers not usually included in this corpus -particularly Tiberianus, the so-called De Bello Actiaco and the minor works of Ennius.
Book Synopsis Pentadius Ovidian Poet by : Paola Paolucci
Download or read book Pentadius Ovidian Poet written by Paola Paolucci and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieses dem Dichter Pentadius gewidmete Werk ist Teil eines mehr als zwanzig Jahre andauernden und von den Professoren Loriano Zurli und Paola Paolucci (Universität Peru¬gia) koordinierten Projekts von Untersuchungen und Entwicklungen kritischer Editionen der Gedichte, die in der sogenannten Salmasianschen Anthologie zusammengetragen sind. Diese größtenteils im codex Parisinus Latinus 10 318, bekannt als codex Salmasianus, überlieferte Anthologie ist eine Gedichtsammlung, die gegen Ende des Vandalenreichs (um 533-534 n. Chr.) in Nordafrika zusammengestellt wurde. Pentadius gehört zu den zahlreichen, oft anderweitig unbekannten Dichtern der Salma¬sianischen Sammlung. Sechs Gedichte (zwei Elegien und vier Epigramme) werden ihm zugeschrieben. Der Reihenfolge nach handelt es sich um eine Elegie mit dem Titel De Fortuna über die Veränderlichkeit des Schicksals, die durch zahlreiche mythische Instanzen veranschaulicht wird; eine weitere Elegie über die Ankunft des Frühlings mit dem Titel De adventu veris, die ein naturalistisches Bild entwirft; zwei Epigramme über Narcissus; ein Epigramm über eine Frau namens Chrysocome sowie ein Epigramm mit misogynen Ratschlägen. Diese sechs Gedichte bedürfen einer umfassenden Untersuchung sowie einer verlässlichen Ausgabe. Mit dem vorliegenden Essay strebt Paola Paolucci nach der Verwirklichung des ersten Ziels und schafft das Fundament für das zweite. This work, devoted to the poet Pentadius, is part of the project of study and of developing critical editions of the poems gathered in the so-called Salmasian Anthology, coordinated by professors Loriano Zurli and Paola Paolucci at the University of Perugia, and lasting for more than twenty years. This Anthology, transmitted for its greater part in the codex Parisinus Latinus 10 318, known as codex Salmasianus, is a poetic collection, put together in North Africa at the end of the Vandal Kingdom (around the years 533-534 AD). Pentadius is one of the various poets, often unknown otherwise, of the Salmasian Collection. Six poems (two elegies and four epigrams) are attributed to him. They are, in order, an elegy about the variability of destiny, illustrated through various mythical instances, with the title De Fortuna; another elegy about the arrival of spring, entitled De adventu veris, depicting a naturalistic frame; two epigrams on Narcissus; an epigram about a woman named Chrysocome and a final epigram concerning misogynistic advice. These six poems require an all-round study and a reliable edition. With this essay Paola Paolucci aims to pursue the first purpose and to lay the groundwork for the second one.
