Eustathii Thessalonicensis exegesis in canonem iambicum pentecostalem

Autore: Paolo Cesaretti , Silvia Ronchey

Numero di pagine: 888

This volume offers the first critical edition of the vast Commentary on the Pentecostal iambic canon (traditionally ascribed to St John the Damascene) composed by Eustathius, archbishop of Thessalonica. The attribution of the hymn to the Damascene was, in principle, called into question by Eustathius himself, who eventually suggested to have it adopted into Damascene’s paternity only out of ecclesiastical obedience. The Commentary is probably the last text Eustathius wrote. It can be regarded as the summa of his method of work, his style of exposition, his scholarly interests and literary tastes. Moreover, it can be read as the first Byzantine attempt to create a fusion between a method of work which originated from the exegesis of classical texts and the modes of theological interpretation connected in turn with liturgical experience and pastoral practice. The edition of the text is accompanied by three apparatuses, a complete range of indices, and exhaustive Prolegomena where the editors shed light on the Commentary as such – its genesis and date, its audience, its discussion of the traditional attribution, its sources – and on history of its manuscript tradition, with a...

Edilo, ›Epigrammi‹

Autore: Lucia Floridi

Numero di pagine: 258

This is the first modern commentary devoted exclusively to the poems of Hedylus, one of the most important representatives of Greek epigram in a crucial phase of the development of the genre. Although only a few of Hedylus’ poems survive, he helped shape the genre of literary epigram. His influence is comparable to that of his roughly contemporaries Posidippus of Pella and Asclepiades of Samos, with whom he is associated by Meleager of Gadara in the proem to his Garland. The volume contains an extensive introduction, a new critical text, a translation, and a full literary and philological commentary. Each epigram is preceded by an essay. Particular attention is paid to the different branches of transmission, in order to understand why so few of Hedylus' epigrams survive via the Greek Anthology, while most of his poems are transmitted by Athenaeus in his Deipnosophistai. The commentary is followed by an Auctarium Lectionum, an Appendix Coniecturarum, an Index verborum, an Index locorum, and an Index nominum et rerum notabilium. With its insights into literary Hellenistic epigram in an important phase of its development, this book represents an important tool for all those...

Mira varietas lectionum

Autore: Raffaella Cantore , Chiara Telesca , Fjodor Montemurro

Numero di pagine: 338

Con l’espressione mira varietas lectionum si suole indicare, già a partire dalla filologia del Settecento, la straordinaria ricchezza di varianti nella tradizione di un testo antico; se da un lato l’aggettivo mirus tradisce un certo stupore e quasi un fastidio per l’eccessivo proliferare delle lezioni, dall’altro esso acquisisce il senso positivo dello straordinario guadagno di conoscenze che ne ricaviamo per la storia della tradizione e della trasmissione del testo. Lo studio della mira varietas è strumento fondamentale per una più matura e sicura costituzione del testo, per la ricostruzione della sua circolazione in età antica, per la comprensione della sua fortuna e ricezione, per la riflessione sulle moderne interpretazioni. La miscellanea, nata dalla volontà di restituire al testo e alla sua storia questa ricchezza culturale, raccoglie contributi incentrati sull’idea di una filologia concepita quale studio della tradizione, fortemente devota al valore della ricostruzione concreta e minuta come mezzo che illumini frammenti del passato e stimoli a rinnovare sempre le nostre credenze. Il volume comprende dodici saggi che spaziano dalla tradizione diretta, con...

Lucillio, "Epigrammi"

Autore: Lucia Floridi

Numero di pagine: 672

This is the first modern commentary devoted exclusively to the epigrams of Lucillius, a prolific Neronian poet who, in spite of being one of the most significant representatives of the Greek satirical epigram, has primarily been studied not for his own value, but for the influence he had on Martial. About 140 epigrams of his survive, mostly in book XI of the Anthology. The volume contains an extensive introduction, a new critical text and translation, and a full literary and philological commentary. While the body of the commentary focuses on the particular, providing literary readings of individual epigrams and a line-by-line linguistic, philological, and stylistic analysis, the introduction deals with Lucillius’s identity, the tradition of the text, style, themes, metrics, and cultural setting, and additionally investigates the origins and development of Greek skoptic epigram. Particular attention is paid to the way in which Lucillius engages with the conventions of the genre, often overturning the reader’s expectations. In this way, the work explores the paradox inherent to the fact that a poetic form that was by its nature eulogistic (inscriptional epigrams were born in...

Receptions of Antiquity

Autore: Jan Nelis

Numero di pagine: 372

This volume presents a series of papers which cover the general theme of the reception of antiquity, a topic which has in recent years become a discipline in itself, or what some might call a 'cross-discipline'. Indeed the Nachleben of the (culture of) classical antiquity, and of antiquity as a whole, manifests in a number of diverse domains, opening up the field of reception studies to scholars from disciplines other than Classics. This collection of papers illustrates this diversity, uniting as it does original research by scholars from a variety of disciplines: classicists, historians, theatre historians, architectural historians, psychologists, archaeologists, artists, and more, all of whom have treated some aspect of the so-called 'classical tradition' by means of their own individual approaches, leading to a volume rich and dense in themes and methodologies. 'Receptions of antiquity' has been written by friends of Freddy Decreus, in honour of his career, and in celebration of his thought.
