‎ERDICHTETE RITUALE Die Eingeweideschau in Der Lateinischen Epik Und Tragödie‎

‎Franz Steiner Verlag. Fine. 2012. Softcover. 3515101330 . English summary: The differentiation between Etruscan and Roman sacrificial rituals is one of the fundamental problems in religious historical writing. Christiane Nasse shows that this assumption is based on a misinterpretation of key sources and features prevalent in a century of historical research. The critique leads to deconstruction: either the hypothesis of a dichotomy of extispicy appears plausible or it is sufficiently defined as a "sacred linguistics" on which the research is essentially based. Following up on this question the author investigates the critical sources for ritual slaughter according to historical referentiality on the one hand and textual dissociation on the other. She brings together late-antique commentators on Vergil such as Servius and Macrobius as well as laws from the Codex Theodosianus. Through individual analysis she throws a new light on the poetic representation of classical authors such as Vergil Ovid Lucan Seneca and Silius Italicus which renders essential the use of historical-critical methods on the one side and the basics of narratology on the other. German description: Die Unterscheidung von etruskischem und romischem Opferritual gehort zu den Grunduberzeugungen der Religionsgeschichtsschreibung. Christiane Nasse zeigt dass diese Annahme auf einer Fehlinterpretation der zentralen Quellen und Besonderheiten einer hundertjahrigen Forschungsgeschichte beruht. Die Kritik fuhrt zu Dekonstruktionen: Weder erscheint die Hypothese von einer Dichotomie der Eingeweideschau plausibel noch ist eine Sakralsprachlichkeit' auf die sich die Forschung wesentlich stutzt hinreichend definiert. Mit der Frage nach dem Historisch-Referentiellen auf der einen und nach literarischen Verfremdungen auf der anderen Seite untersucht die Autorin zentrale Quellen zu diesem Schlachtritus. Sie zieht spatantike Texte von Vergil-Erklarern wie Servius und Macrobius heran sowie Gesetze aus dem Codex Theodosianus. In Einzelanalysen wirft sie ein neues Licht auf die poetischen Darstellungen klassischer Autoren wie Vergil Ovid Lucan Seneca und Silius Italicus. Grundlage hierfur bilden die historisch-kritische Methode einerseits und Ansatze aus der Erzahltheorie andererseits. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge 38; 408 pages .

‎NAUDE (Gabriel)‎

‎Apologie pour tous les grands personnages qui ont esté faussement soupçonnez de magie.‎

‎In-8° (170 x 110 mm), vélin souple, dos lisse titré à la plume, (24), 615 (i.e. 650), (23) pages. Paris, François Targa, 1625.‎

‎Édition originale rare.Gabriel Naudé (1600-1653), médecin, bibliophile et bibliothécaire du cardinal Mazarin, compte parmi les plus illustres représentants du groupe des "libertins érudits".Publiée en 1625, l'Apologie' paraît dans un contexte troublé, marqué par les procès de Théophile de Viau, de la maréchale dAncre et dUrbain Grandier. Naudé y entreprend de défendre les savants et philosophes injustement accusés de magie. En convoquant des figures telles que Pythagore, Roger Bacon ou Pic de la Mirandole, il démontre combien linnovation intellectuelle fut souvent, par ignorance et crédulité, assimilée à des pratiques diaboliques.Considérée comme un manifeste de tolérance intellectuelle, l'Apologie' illustre lattitude critique des libertins érudits, soucieux de distinguer savoir et superstition, et de défendre la liberté de recherche. Elle occupe une place majeure dans lhistoire de la lutte contre lobscurantisme et annonce, par son esprit rationaliste, les combats scientifiques et philosophiques des Lumières. "Ce livre est une première manifestation de lesprit critique en des choses où il ny en avait pas" (Henri Busson, 'De Charron à Pascal', p. 367)."Des accents comme ceux que trouve Naudé pour condamner le manque desprit critique, pour préconiser une vérification méthodique des faits et dires, surtout à légard dun prétendu surnaturel, on en percevait rarement de son temps ; on nen percevra plus guère avant Bayle et Fontenelle, que l'Apologie' annonce à plus dun titre" (Pintard, 'Le libertinage érudit', p. 449). (Caillet, 7923. Duveen, 423. Guaita, 753. Yve-Plessis, 'Sorcelerie', 1647).Ex-libris manuscrit répété de "Gabriel Mellinet". On trouve un Gabriel Mellinet (1651-1714), apothicaire à Nantes et ancêtre du général Anne François Mellinet (1768-1852).Feuillets brunis.Bon exemplaire‎

‎Le Privilège a été accordé le 27 mars 1669 au libraire François Eschart qui s'est associé aux libraires Jacques Cottin et Augustin Besongne.Naudé (1600-1653) entreprend la réhabilitation d'un grand nombre d'hommes politiques, d'écrivains et de savants qualifiés de magiciens en raison de leurs recherches physiques, chimiques, mathématiques, astrologiques, etc, ou en raison de leur prétention à être en contact avec le surnaturel. Expliquant dans quel contexte tombèrent dans « le labyrinthe des fausses opinions » Zoroastre, Pythagore, Démocrite, Aristote, Paracelse, Agrippa, Savonarole, Nostradamus, Roger Bacon, Gallien, Raymond Lulle, Albertus Magnus, et tant d'autres, Naudé s'élève contre l'irrationnel.

‎GODDESS AND POLIS The Panathenaic Festival in Ancient Athens‎

‎Princeton University Press. Very Good. 1992. Softcover. 0691002231 . creasing to corner of rear wrap. ; While the Olympics because of their modern revival enjoy the greatest fame today in ancient Greece other religious festivals were equally elaborate and impressive spectacles. The lavishly illustrated Goddess and Polis is the first work devoted to the Panathenaia the most significant of these festivals to be held in ancient Athens. Founded in 566 B. C. this complex ritual performed for the goddess Athena vied with other Greek festivals in grandeur and importance and was particularly distinguished by the works of art commissioned in its service. Among these were the painted vases known as Panathenaic amphoras each of which contained forty liters of olive oil awarded to athletic and equestrian victors. The contests depicted on these vases are the best extant illustrations of Greek sport. Although women were excluded from the competitions they had an important role to play in the weaving of the peplos an elaborate textile that took nine months to produce. The culmination of the festival was a long procession bearing this new robe to the cult statue of the goddess; the procession in turn was the subject of another great work of art the Parthenon frieze. Combining art spectacle and civic consciousness the Panathenaia contributed to the development of the high classical style of Periklean Athens. This book deals with every aspect of the festival and produces a vivid portrait of the worship of the patron goddess of the city. Essays by eminent classical scholars examine in depth the musical and poetic competitions the athletic and equestrian contests the peplos and the evolving image of Athena as documented in sculpture from the Acropolis. Jenifer Neils the curator of the exhibition Goddess and Polis held at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College has contributed an introduction to the Panathenaia an essay on the prize amphoras and detailed entries for the seventy objects exhibited.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 232 pages .

‎WORSHIPPING ATHENA Panathenaia and Parthenon‎

‎University of Wisconsin Press. Fair. 1996. Paperback. 029915114X . Highlighting to some pages and some pencilling. ; The foremost religious festival of ancient Athens—the city dedicated to Athena goddess of war fertility arts and wisdom—was the Panathenaia. Challenging old assumptions and refuting new theories Worshipping Athena addresses the many problems of interpretation and understanding that have swirled for years around the Panathenaia. Among the issues discussed is the recent sensational controversy over the Parthenon frieze perhaps the best known but least understood work of Greek art. For centuries the frieze has been thought to represent the Panathenaia procession but recently the argument has been advanced that it depicts the sacrifice of the daughters of the Athenian king Erechtheus. Worshipping Athena offers compelling evidence that the frieze does indeed depict the festal procession and also demonstrates that scenes of contemporary ritual were not unique to the Parthenon. Editor Jenifer Neils and the contributors—eminent classicists archaeologists and art historians—explore the role of the Panathenaia in Athenian life and compare it with similar festivals held throughout the ancient Greek world. They discuss such topics as the Panathenaia’s mythical origins the phenomenon of the festival’s valuable prizes oil-filled amphoras rather than the customary laurel wreath and the architecture sculpture and painting related to the festival. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 224 pages .
