‎In September 2008, the seventh edition of the International Colloquium of Greek Palaeography (Madrid-Salamanca, 15-20 September 2008) celebrated the 300th anniversary of the Palaeographia graeca, the pioneer work of the Benedictine Bernard de Montfaucon that established the fundamentals of the discipline. Papers by renowned specialists in the field contributed to the methodology of study and to our knowledge of Greek manuscripts, and opened new perspectives for the study of the Greek manuscripts preserved mostly in European libraries, taking into account new methodological approaches, the possibilities of online resources, and the results of ongoing research projects. The Proceedings published here include contributions by specialists from over ten different countries, dealing with palaeographical issues such as ancient capital and lower-case lettering, writing and books in the Macedonian, Comnenian and Palaeologan periods, and Greek scribes and ateliers in the Renaissance (especially in manuscripts from the Iberian Peninsula). Many contributors also take a codicological approach and consider the material aspects of the codex, as well as other new research techniques. Finally, some papers deal with the book as object and how this relates to its content, as well as with the history of texts. The International Colloquia of Greek Palaeography are organized by the International Committee of Greek Palaeography, presided by Prof. Dieter Harlfinger. The seventh edition payed tribute to the memory of the late Jean Irigoin, who died in 2006. Languages: English, Italian, Spanish.‎

‎Bilingual Notaries in Hellenistic Egypt. A study of Greek as a second language‎

‎Brussel, Koninklijke Vlaamse academie van Belgie voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten, 2012 Softcover, 291pp., 21x29.5cm., nieuw. ISBN 9789065691033.‎

‎In the Upper Egyptian town Pathyris nearly twenty bilingual family archives have been found, dating to the second and first centuries BCE. They contain different types of documents, but contracts play an important role. Most of the Greek contracts were written by notaries (agoranomoi), whose native language was Egyptian. This study describes the language contact situation in Hellenistic Egypt in general and in Pathyris in particular. Notarial offices and scribal families in Upper Egypt are also discussed. The main focus of the study is a thorough phonological and morpho-syntactic analysis of the Greek language of the bilingual notaries. With the help of handwriting analysis, we get close to studying idiolects. Some of the notaries had more transfer features from their first language than others. Especially a notary called Hermias used creative strategies to avoid certain Greek structures and his Greek seems to present a learner's interlanguage with first and second language structures intertwining.‎

La seconde edition de cet indispensable outil, parue en 1958, est depuis longtemps epuisee, de meme que le Supplement I, paru en 1963. Depuis 30 ans, notre connaissance des collections de manuscrits grecs a tellement progresse, qu'a l'evidence une nouvelle edition s'imposait pour tenter de rendre compte de leur etat present. Cette troisieme edition, due a un disciple de Marcel Richard, compte plus de 2.500 unites bibliographiques (alors que la seconde edition et le Supplement I en portaient 950). L'auteur a fait un effort particulier de depouillement des publications signalees afin d'eviter a l'utilisateur d'inutiles pertes de temps. On trouvera -notamment- dans cet ouvrage de nombreuses informations inedites sur les collections, jusqu'a present mal connues, d'Europe de l'Est.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 1994 Paperback, 309 p., 153 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503503400.‎

‎Die Erforschung der Pseudo-Chrysostomica hat seit 1968 mit den Codices Chrysostomici Graeci und mit der Ubersicht uber noch nicht editierte Texte, die M. Geerard 1974 im zweiten Band der Clavis Patrum Graecorum zusammengestellt hat, fur jene Patristiker, die an kritischen Editionen von Homilien arbeiten, grosse Fortschritte gemacht. Die Texte selbst sind aber bisher einem grosseren Kreis interessierter Patristiker nicht zuganglich geworden; wollte man auf kritische Editionen denselben warten, in denen die Uberlieferungsgeschichte anhand aller uns noch zuganglichen Zeugen geklart wird, dann besteht wenig Hoffnung, dass sie in kommenden Jahrzehnten jenen Patristikern und allgemein jenen Philologen bekannt werden, die nicht unmittelbar mit den betreffenden Handschriften selbst arbeiten. Die Clavis von M. Geerard nennt allein 239 nicht editierte Texte, und diese Liste ist bei weitem nicht vollstandig. Sucht man nach einem Weg, alle bekannten Pseudo-Chrysostomica so schnell wie moglich gedruckt vorlegen zu konnen und dennoch einen im allgemeienen vertraubaren Text zu schaffen, dann kan dies nur bedeuten, dass man in Ausgang von einer oder mehrerer "guter" Handschriften den Text ohne jeden Apparat und ohne irgendeinen Kompromiss in Richtung einer kritischen Edition wiedergibt. Die Texte, die Bernard de Montfaulcon (1655-1741) geschaffen hat, leisten uns noch heute nutzliche Dienste; und wer vor allem am Inhalt von Texten interessiert ist, wird deren Aussage im allgemeinen auch mit einem Migne-Text gut erfassen. Das wissenschaftliche Ideal einer kritischen Edition wird damit nicht in Frage gestellt, sicher nicht von den Herausgebern dieses neuen Instrumentum studiorum. Language : Greek.‎

‎Defining Beauty : The Body in Ancient Greek Art‎

‎Greek sculpture is full of breathing vitality and yet, at the same time, it reaches beyond mere imitation of nature to give form to thought in works of timeless beauty. For over 2000 years the Greeks experimented with representing the human body in works that range from prehistoric abstract simplicity to the full-blown realism of the age of Alexander the Great. The ancient Greeks invented the modern idea of the human body in art as an object of sensory delight and as a bearer of meaning. Their vision has had a profound influence on the way the western world sees itself. Drawing on the British Museums outstanding collection of Greek sculpture including extraordinary pieces from the Parthenon and the celebrated representation of a discus thrower and through a number of themed sections, this richly illustrated book explores the Greek portrayal of human character in sculpture, along with sexual and social identity. In athletics, the male body was displayed as if it was a living sculpture, and victors were commemorated by actual statues. In art, not only were mortal men and women represented in human form but also the gods and other beings of myth and the supernatural world. In a series of lively introductory chapters, written by a selection of academics, historians and artists, it is revealed how the Greeks themselves viewed the sculpture (which was vividly enhanced with colour), and how it was regarded and treated in later pagan antiquity. The revival of the Greek body in the modern era is also discussed, including the shock of the new effect of the arrival of the Parthenon sculptures in London at the beginning of the nineteenth century.‎

‎Summary From the time of the Roman Republic, continental Europeans traveling to England brought knowledge of Greek and Roman intellectual culture in the form of books of every genre. But, until 1111 CE, the island contained not a single Platonic dialogue. And for the next two centuries, it had only a partial Latin translation of the Timaeus. A Latin Phaedo eventually appeared, in 1340, and the Meno in 1423. But this hardly limited the number of ideas people had about Plato. He was a proto-Christian, a sage, a scholar of the cosmos, and a healer. And he had an elaborate oeuvre that did exist in England, works of astrology, numerology, medicine, and science, including Cado, Calf, Circle, Herbal, Question, Alchemy, and Book of Prophecies of a Greek King. This book tells the story of Plato in Medieval England, from a name with too few works to a sage with too many. Based on a complete survey of all extant manuscripts, publications, and library records until the fifteenth century, it traces with extraordinary precision the movement of opinions and information about Plato from Europe to England and then into its various monasteries, schools, and universities. This erudite and illuminating sociology of knowledge provides novel insight into the dubious English career of our best-known philosopher. This is intellectual history and reception studies at its most surprising. TABLE OF CONTENTS Editor?s Introduction Author?s Introduction Chapter 1. The Romans (55 BCE to 449 CE) Chapter 2.

‎Summary The present work comprises nearly all of the historical-biographical prose of the Byzantine polygraph Theodore Prodromus, poet and prose writer of the twelfth century, who was active during the reign of the Comnenian emperors John II and Manuel I. With respect to the diversity of his works as a whole, this work aims at a better understanding of the prose writer Prodromus, whose correspondence has never been published in its entirety. The present edition of his collected letters goes with ten more lengthy rhetorical set-pieces (four of them monodies or funerary speeches), originating in the same learned milieu and stylistically close to the letters. The critical text is preceded by a long introduction which gives detailed context for each of the correspondents and examines the literary conventions belonging to the genres of epistolography and monody. It also highlights the originality of a self-conscious author who, if deeply indebted to a longstanding tradition, succeeds in preserving his individuality.

‎Summary The Johannine Tradition in Late Antique and Medieval Poetry proposes to examine the impact of the Gospel of John, which is fundamental from the point of view of the history of Christian doctrines, on ancient poetic production, with some forays into the Middle Ages. The critical literature on these aspects is particularly abundant, but hitherto an overall view of the presence and importance of the Johannine tradition in the evolution of Christian poetry was lacking. Based on the Strasbourg colloquium that took place on 16-17 September 2021, the present volume aims to fill this gap, with contributions highlighting not an episodic presence of Johannine texts in poetic compositions, but a structuring function in the definition of the poetic choices of the various authors. The focus of attention could therefore only be on the genre of biblical rewritings, which derive their particular significance from their organic attempt to ?remake? the biblical text in accordance with very precise cultural objectives and the expectations of a select audience.

‎Summary The formal study of the collection of Jewish and Christian texts transmitted under the name of Sibylline Oracles highlights the continuity of the model of biblical prophecy while underlining the heritage of Greek didactic poetry. The interest of this approach is to situate the Sibylline Oracles as a literary work in the context of contemporary Greek versified literary production, which implies, on the part of their successive editors, a familiarity with Greek poetic forms related to a common scholar background. The study of the retelling of biblical episodes aims at identifying the passages where the fictitious Sibyl claims to announce the events of the biblical past and confronting these narrative sequences with contemporary rhetorical theories of paraphrase in order to highlight the formal technique that runs through them and the interpretation of the biblical hypotext that it presumes. Most of the rewritings preserved in the corpus are compatible with the prevailing doctrine of the third century CE. L' tude formelle de la collection de textes juifs et chr tiens transmis sous le nom d'Oracles sibyllins met en vidence la continuit du mod le de la proph tie biblique tout en soulignant l'h ritage de la po sie didactique grecque. L'int r t de cette approche est de situer les Oracles sibyllins comme un objet litt raire dans le contexte de la production litt raire versifi e grecque contemporaine, ce qui implique, de la part de leurs r dacteurs successifs, une familiarit avec les formes po tiques grecques li e une formation scolaire commune. L' tude des r critures d' pisodes bibliques vise identifier les passages o la Sibylle fictive pr tend annoncer les v nements du pass biblique et confronter ces s quences narratives aux th ories rh toriques contemporaines de la paraphrase pour mettre en valeur la technique formelle qui les traverse et l'interpr tation de l'hypotexte biblique qu'elle pr sume.

‎Summary The rich literary production of Gaza in the fifth and sixth centuries AD has received quite some attention in recent scholarship. Yet, the figure and work of Procopius the Sophist, as author of catenae, compiler, and epitomist of patristic exegesis, have remained relatively unknown and under-explored. This collection of essays delves deeply into Procopius' exegetical work. At the outset, a strong case is made that one should distinguish between the famous orator of Gaza and "the Christian sophist" Procopius. A first large section of the book deals with the Genesis Epitome that is studied from three different angles: the limited and as a rule critical use of Origen and his tradition; the importance given to Theodore of Mopsuestia's exegesis of Gen 1-3; and the relations between Procopius' Epitome and John Philoponus' De opificio mundi. The section on the Exodus Epitome studies the specificity of Procopius' work in comparison to the Catena on Exodus, the way the material is organised, and the literary genre of the work. The volume further contains contributions on the connections between the Scholia on Kings attributed to Procopius, the type B catena, and the so-called "Catena Lipsiensis"; the relations between Procopius' Catena on Proverbs and other catenae on this book; the sources of the Isaiah Epitome that show a diligent and able compiler at work; and the comparison between the characteristic features of Procopius' Epitomes and those of the Catena III on Obadiah. As a whole, it offers a wide perspective and significantly advances research on, and our knowledge of, Procopius the Christian sophist, a still somewhat mysterious early Byzantine author and scholar.

‎Summary Through the word corpus, the metaphor of the body is applied to a collection of works by the same author that are transmitted together. These works not only share the same skin, the manuscript, but also function organically thanks to a complex system of paracontents. It is possible to see this system at work in the case of only a very few medieval authors throughout history, cultures and languages; the Corpus Nazianzenum and the Corpus Dionysiacum are such instances. Both Gregory of Nazianzus and Dionysius the Areopagite are super-authors, who forged their own literary identity as much as they shaped the body of their writings. This sets both corpora apart from other collections of patristic works. They are also exceptional because of the large scale and enduring character of their cultural impact in the different cultures in which the corpora were translated, commented and annotated. By confronting these two exceptional cases, it is possible to gain some new light on the intellectual and book-historical aspects of literary creation and reception in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

‎Cinismo e Cristianesimo delle origini‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 236 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: Italian. ISBN 9782503607535.‎

‎Summary Ges era Cinico? I suoi discepoli? E Paolo? Queste domande, che rientrano nel pi generale tema della possibile influenza del Cinismo sul Cristianesimo delle origini, costituiscono un importante capitolo storiografico, nato in Germania nel primo Novecento e ampiamente sviluppatosi pi tardi soprattutto negli Stati Uniti d'America. A questi problemi dedicato il presente volume, che, partendo da un'analisi sempre attenta alle evidenze testuali, intende vagliare, da una prospettiva storico-filosofica, la possibilit che Ges e il Cristianesimo delle origini siano stati influenzati dal Cinismo, e da tale tradizione filosofica abbiano ricevuto sollecitazioni o stimoli. Lo studio rivolto a testi quali i Vangeli Sinottici e le Lettere Paoline (nello specifico, la Prima Lettera ai Corinzi), in cui i fautori della Cynic Jesus Hypothesis hanno ritenuto di poter rinvenire elementi definibili come 'cinici'. Tale analisi si presta in maniera singolare a gettare luce non solo su autori importanti e temi della tradizione cinica particolarmente discussi, ma anche sui rapporti tra la tradizione ellenica e le origini del Cristianesimo. Tema, quest'ultimo, di interesse non solamente storico-filosofico e teologico ma anche schiettamente teoretico, perch tocca la questione, viva e dibattuta ancora oggi, seppure talvolta sotto forme diverse, delle relazioni tra la riflessione filosofica e il credo religioso, tra fides e ratio.

‎Fallacies in the Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Latin Traditions‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 269 pages, Size:170 x 240 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503608198.‎

‎Summary Bad arguments have never been in short supply. The scholarly interest they have elicited in recent years, on the other hand, is quite exceptional. Fallacy studies have become a well established and flourishing field of argumentation theory. Without notable exception, the ever-growing literature on argumentative failures suffer from a conspicuous lack of interest in Mediaeval fallacy theory - arguably the most creative stage in the whole history of argumentation theories. The standard story is that after Aristotle got off to a tentative start, the study of fallacies laid dormant until people at Port Royal and John Locke revived it in spectacular fashion. Fallacies in the Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Latin Traditions will show that this narrative is misleading, if not altogether false. Free of boundaries or limitations imposed by differences in discipline, language and culture, the volume will provide ample and unambiguous record of the exegetical proficiency, technical expertise and argumentative savoir-faire typically displayed by mediaeval logicians jurists and theologians on issues whose complexity we underestimate to some extent - such as the problem of defining what a fallacy is or the pitfalls of linguistic expression. Working its way from the inside out within each mediaeval tradition and comparing mediaeval findings and lessons to contemporary views and trends, the volume will show where the potential for novelty and the rightful place of mediaeval theories of fallacies lies within contemporary argumentation studies.

‎Figures exemplaires de pouvoir sous l?Empire dans la litt rature gr co-latine‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 345 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):French, Italian, English. ISBN 9782503595719.‎

‎Summary The exemplum held immense power in antiquity, especially in the political field. What role did historical or legendary figures from the Greco-Roman past play during the Empire in speeches intended to build, legitimise or question power? How were they selected? How did they work? These are the questions that the eighteen contributions in this volume seek to answer. This multifaceted approach crosses several literary genres, including poetry, historiography, and political or philosophical discourse, which are examined over six centuries. It considers different types of power or authority (imperial power, but also the authority of the magistrate in the Greek city during Roman domination, and the power of bishops). This highlights the plasticity of exempla that, depending on the context, could justify or question a vast diversity of ideologies and practices of power. La force que les Anciens attribuaient l'exemplum tait immense, notamment dans le domaine politique. Quel r le jouaient, sous l'Empire, certains personnages historiques ou l gendaires du pass gr co-romain dans les discours destin s construire, l gitimer ou interroger le pouvoir ou l'autorit ? Comment taient-ils s lectionn s ? Quel tait leur mode de fonctionnement ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles cherchent r pondre les dix-huit contributions rassembl es dans ce volume. L'approche est plurielle, croisant plusieurs genres litt raires (po sie, historiographie, discours politiques ou philosophiques) examin s sur six si cles et diff rents types de pouvoir ou d'autorit (l'empereur, mais aussi le magistrat dans la cit grecque au temps de la domination romaine, ou encore l' v que). Ainsi est mise en lumi re la plasticit d'exempla susceptibles, selon les contextes, de justifier ou remettre en question les id ologies et les pratiques de pouvoir les plus diverses.

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 234 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, French, German. ISBN 9782503602844.‎

‎Summary Ancient philosophy is known for its organisation into distinct schools. But those schools were not locked into static dogmatism. As recent scholarship has shown, lively debate persisted between and within traditions. Yet the interplay between tradition and disagreement remains underexplored. This volume asks, first, how philosophers talked about differences of opinion within and between traditions and, second, how such debates affected the traditions involved. It covers the period from the first century BCE, which witnessed a turn to authoritative texts in different philosophical movements, through the rise of Christianity, to the golden age of Neoplatonic commentaries in the fifth and sixth centuries CE. By studying various philosophical and Christian traditions alongside and in interaction with each other, this volume reveals common philosophical strategies of identification and differentiation. Ancient authors construct their own traditions in their (polemical) engagements with dissenters and opponents. Yet this very process of dissociation helped establish a common conceptual ground between traditions. This volume will be an important resource for specialists in late ancient philosophy, early Christianity, and the history of ideas. TABLE OF CONTENTS Albert Joosse and Angela Ulacco ?

‎Summary The archaeological excavations conducted from one end of the Mediterranean zone to the other have illuminated the place of gods in the ritual practices in the dwellings of the Graeco-Roman era. The discovery of multiple artefacts, dedicated spaces, and figurative paintings support new avenues of historical, anthropological, and social reflection with the aim of better understanding domestic religious practices in the polytheistic contexts of antiquity. This collective volume organizes those reflections around three axes. The first axis centres on identifying the deities that were favoured in domestic sanctuaries. Which gods are represented and which are not? The second axis concerns the interrelationships evident within domestic ritual spaces and sanctuaries. The third axis is dedicated to the anthropology of rituals. Lines of inquiry informed by anthropological, social, and phenomenological approaches are assuming ever-greater importance in scholarship on Antiquity. It is from this perspective that the authors explore the role that domestic ritual spaces play in shaping the lived environment.
