Abstract

« L'Europe latine n'a guère su de Rhazès, d'Avicenne ou d'Averroès, que des élucubrations qui avaient été élaborées sur leur compte comme de les faire vivre tous ensemble en Espagne musulmane et de faire d'Averroès l'empoisonneur d'Avicenne pour cause de jalousie. Cela marque la différence fondamentale entre le mouvement de traduction gréco-arabe et son corollaire arabo-latin. Tandis que le premier s'est soucié de traduire, à partir de la littérature savante grecque, des recueils biographiques (comme l'Histoire philosophique de Porphyre), des biographies philosophiques (comme la Vita Aristotelis de Ptolémée d'Alexandrie) et bibliographiques (comme Sur l'ordre de ses propres livres de Galien), le second ne s'est pas préoccupé de savoir qui étaient les auteurs arabes qui allaient devenir pour plusieurs siècles les autorités de l'Europe savante. Il a fallu attendre la Renaissance italienne pour que se développe en Europe une conscience intellectuelle qui conduise à la production de la monumentale Bibliotheca universalis (1545) de l'humaniste suisse Conrad Gessner. C'est dans ce nouveau contexte historique qu'est conçu à Rome, en 1527, le recueil biographique de Jean-Léon l'Africain. Son importance est telle qu'il va rester une référence quasi incontestée jusqu'au milieu du XIXe siècle. Pour se convaincre de l'importance de sa réception dans la culture européenne moderne, il suffit de savoir que l'Encyclopédie de Diderot et d'Alembert l'a littéralement pillé en lui empruntant plus de la moitié de ses biographies qui sont reprises telles quelles dans ses entrées. »-

Abstract

Humanitas är i likhet med många andra latinska substantiv ett ord med en lång rad betydelser. Det kan betyda mänsklighet och vänlighet , men också bildning och lärdom . Ordet är alltså väl ägnat som beskrivning av latinprofessorn Arne Jönsson och hans forskargärning, där intresset för historiens människor och det mänskliga i historien är ett genomgående tema. Dessutom beskriver det festskriftens innehåll: ett fyrtiotal artiklar författade av vänner och kolleger från när och fjärran. Boken är disponerad som en resa i festskriftsföremålets fotspår. Avsnitten som ingår motsvarar de ämnesområden han ägnat sig åt genom sin karriär och är placerade i samma ordning. De temata som behandlas i artiklarna sträcker sig från antiken till latinet som ämne vid Lunds universitet i modern tid. Några exempel är medicinhistoria, Heliga Birgitta och antikreception. Volymen bjuder också på ett stort antal artiklar som berör Sverige under tidigmodern tid, ett ämnesområde som Arne Jönsson kommit att ägna mycken tid och kraft.

Abstract

In diesem interdisziplinären Sammelband, der aus einer Tagung anläßlich der Berliner Ausstellung Babylon - Wahrheit und Mythos hervorgeht, diskutieren international renommierte Wissenschaftler aus den Altertumswissenschaften erstmals unter dem Fokus "Wissenskultur": Für die zeitgenössischen Kulturen der Alten Welt galt Babylon als Inbegriff von Gelehrsamkeit, in den Transformationsprozessen der Spät- und Nachantike hingegen wurde es in dem Maße, wie diese Wissenskultur nach dem Untergang der altorientalischen Reiche in Vergessenheit geriet, zum Sinnbild für Okkultismus, Magie und esoterisches Wissen. Als erstes gemeinsames Pilotprojekt von Topoi und dem Verlag De Gruyter für die zeitgleiche Publikation in Print und Open Access wird dieser Band bei Erscheinen über die Website www.reference-global.de auch als eBook "open access" verfügbar sein. In this collection of interdisciplinary papers, for the first time well-known scholars of Ancient Near Eastern Studies discuss Babylon from the point of view of the "culture of knowledge". The volume is the result of a conference that took place on the occasion of the exhibition Babylon - Truth and Myth in Berlin. For the contemporary cultures of the Ancient World, Babylon was the epitome of learned scholarship. Yet in the processes of transformation of Late and post-Antiquity, to the same extent to which this culture of knowledge was forgotten after the collapse of the old oriental empires, Babylon became symbolic for the occult, for magic and esoteric knowledge. As the first joint pilot project by Topoi and the publisher De Gruyter for the simultaneous publication in print and open access, this volume will, on publication, also be available via www.reference-global.de as an eBook "open access".

Abstract

The story of the succession to the Prophet Muhammad and the rise of the Rashidun Caliphate (632-661 AD) is familiar to historians from the political histories of medieval Islam, which treat it as a factual account. The story also informs the competing perspectives of Sunni and Shi'i Islam, which read into it the legitimacy of their claims. Yet while descriptive and varied, these approaches have long excluded a third reading, which views the conflict over the succession to the Prophet as a parable. From this vantage point, the motives, sayings, and actions of the protagonists reveal profound links to previous texts, not to mention a surprising irony regarding political and religious issues.In a controversial break from previous historiography, Tayeb El-Hibri privileges the literary and artistic triumphs of the medieval Islamic chronicles and maps the origins of Islamic political and religious orthodoxy. Considering the patterns and themes of these unified narratives, including the problem of measuring personal qualification according to religious merit, nobility, and skills in government, El-Hibri offers an insightful critique of both early and contemporary Islam and the concerns of legitimacy shadowing various rulers. In building an argument for reading the texts as parabolic commentary, he also highlights the Islamic reinterpretation of biblical traditions, both by Qur'anic exegesis and historical composition.

Abstract

Despite his importance both as a historical figure in twelfth-century Constantinople and as a theologian, Hugh Eterianus and his output have remained almost unknown and his works never properly edited. In the wake of Antoine Dondaine’s seminal contributions, Pietro Podolak and Anna Zago have now produced a new critical edition of Hugh’s main treatise, De sancto et immortali Deo, based on a complete and systematic analysis of the manuscript tradition. The edition also includes four epistles transmitted with the treatise, and the editio princeps of the so called Compendiosa expositio, an anonymous commentary on Hugh’s work written by a contemporary. In an appendix, readers will also find the collection of the few extant fragments of the Greek version of the main treatise.
