Abstract

"Drawing on the historicizing turn in Latin literary scholarship, Roman Literary Cultures combines new critical methods with traditional analysis across four hundred years of Latin literature, from mid-republican Rome in the second century BC to the Second Sophistic in the second century AD. The contributors explore Latin texts both famous and obscure, from Roman drama and Menippean satire through Latin elegies, epics, and novels to letters issued by Roman emperors and compilations of laws. Each of the essays in this volume combines close reading of Latin literary texts with historical and cultural contextualization, making the collection an accessible and engaging combination of formalist criticism and historicist exegesis that attends to the many ways in which classical Latin literature participated in ancient Roman civic debates."--

Abstract

Comment les textes grecs et latins ont-ils réussi à traverser le temps ? Si beaucoup ont disparu, c’est souvent par miracle que les grandes œuvres des Anciens ont échappé à la destruction, aux menaces des invasions, aux incendies des bibliothèques, en Orient comme en Occident. L’ouvrage explique les conditions de la survie des textes classiques et la façon dont, dans l’Antiquité, au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance, les érudits les ont lus, sélectionnés, commentés et copiés. Reflets des grandes étapes de la civilisation européenne, cette transmission engage une histoire de l’éducation ainsi qu’une histoire des pratiques savantes. Au xve siècle, une invention capitale change la donne : l’imprimerie facilite la diffusion des textes et a bientôt un effet profond sur le progrès et les usages de la philologie. Apparaît alors dans les pays occidentaux une res publica litterarum qui s’attache à élaborer des méthodes pour éditer ces œuvres, fondées sur la connaissance de la tradition : ces techniques font l’objet du dernier chapitre de l’ouvrage. Paru pour la première fois en 1968, Scribes and Scholars est vite devenu un classique, traduit en sept langues. Sa quatrième édition anglo-saxonne, parue en 2013, est proposée ici au public francophone dans une version revue, mise à jour et augmentée par Luigi-Alberto Sanchi et Aude Cohen-Skalli.

Abstract

Greek traditions of writing about food and the symposium had a long and rich afterlife in the first to fifth centuries CE, in both Greco-Roman and early Christian culture. This book provides an account of the history of the table-talk tradition, derived from Plato's Symposium and other classical texts, focusing among other writers on Plutarch, Athenaeus, Methodius and Macrobius. It also deals with the representation of transgressive, degraded, eccentric types of eating and drinking in Greco-Roman and early Christian prose narrative texts, focusing especially on the Letters of Alciphron, the Greek and Roman novels, especially Apuleius, the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles and the early saints' lives. It argues that writing about consumption and conversation continued to matter: these works communicated distinctive ideas about how to talk and how to think, distinctive models of the relationship between past and present, distinctive and often destabilising visions of identity and holiness.

Abstract

This book invites us to approach friendship not as something that simply is, but as something performed in and through language. Roman friendship is read across a wide spectrum of Latin texts, from Catullus' poetry to Petronius' Satyricon to the philosophical writings of Cicero and Seneca, from letters exchanged by the Emperor Marcus Aurelius and his beloved teacher Fronto, to those written by men and women at an outpost in northern Britain. One of the most innovative features of this study is the equal attention it pays to Latin literature and to inscriptions carved in stone across the Roman Empire. What emerges is a richly varied and perhaps surprising picture. Hundreds of epitaphs, commissioned by men and women, citizens and slaves, record the commemoration of friends, which is of equal importance to understanding Roman friendship as Cicero's influential essay De amicitia.

Abstract

Hauptbeschreibung Die Debatte über die Freiheit des menschlichen Willens ist durch die moderne Hirnforschung in jüngster Zeit wieder ins Zentrum des Interesses gerückt. Ihre Anfänge liegen im antiken Epos, wo das Verhältnis von menschlicher Entscheidungsfreiheit und göttlicher oder übernatürlicher Einflußnahme ausgelotet und mit den Mitteln der Dichtung dargestellt wird. Dem Glauben an die Wirksamkeit von Göttern oder numinosen Kräften kommt in der Antike eine gewisse Plausibilität zu. Allerdings ist das Eingreifen des Göttlichen in die Wirklichkeit durch Rationalität konzeptionalis

Abstract

In his monograph Verlorenes Mittelalter , Thomas Haye discusses the question of why the greater part of the Latin texts which were produced over the course of the Middle Ages has not been preserved. Contemporary sources attest to the existence of thousands of texts which have not come down to the modern era. As Haye demonstrates, these losses are not primarily due to random happenstance, but are often rather the results of certain aspects of contemporary mentality, sociohistorical circumstances, preferences regarding literary genres and other specific cultural factors. Modern literary histories largely disregard the lost texts. The present book argues for the development of a new narrative which duly takes into account the lost texts as well as those that still exist.

Abstract

Les Commentaires de Servius (4e-5e s. de notre ère) sur les œuvres du poète Virgile (70-19 avant J.-C.), ainsi que les ajouts anonymes du Servius Danielis, constituent un maillon essentiel de la transmission du savoir antique jusqu'à nous, sous une forme pourtant fragmentée. Alors que, par définition, un commentaire linéaire n'est pas une monographie ni un ouvrage spécialisé, l'exégèse de Servius a permis la sauvegarde de nombreuses connaissances pointues, disparues par ailleurs, et constitue, en un sens, un bilan des connaissances du monde latin, et, indirectement, du monde grec. Le présent volume propose 26 contributions qui permettent de mesurer l'importance de Servius dans la transmission et la transformation du savoir antique, et qui s'articulent autour de cinq thématiques : Exploitation des sources érudites, Linguistique, Rhétorique et poétique, Histoire, société et religions de Rome et Mythographie.

Abstract

Unter den verschiedenen Formen, literarische Texte zu sammeln und zu erschließen, zählt deren Gruppierung zu einem Œuvre mit Sicherheit zu den gängigsten: Das Œuvre als Summe aller Werke eines bestimmten Autors wird dabei oft an scheinbar objektivierbaren Kriterien wie Werkbestand (Gesamtwerk) oder Autorbiographie (Spätwerk, Lebenswerk) gemessen und gleichsam als selbstverständlich betrachtet. Werkpolitik in der Antike fragt demgegenüber nach den Voraussetzungen (und ebenso nach den Auswirkungen) der Orientierung am Œuvre. Die lateinische Literatur der späten Republik und des augusteischen Prinzipats erweist sich für die Genese eines emphatischen Begriffes des auktorialen Corpus als formativ: Die Umwälzungen im literarischen Betrieb dieser Epoche, nicht zuletzt die Gründung öffentlicher Bibliotheken, bedingten bei Autoren, Kritikern und Lesern eine erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit für die Begründung von Werkzusammenhängen, welche die Idee des Œuvres nachhaltig prägte. In vier Studien zu Cicero, Vergil, Horaz und Ovid wird nachgezeichnet, wie sowohl innerhalb der literarischen Werke selbst wie in deren Rezeption bestimmte Vorstellungen von Lebens- und Gesamtwerk Gestalt annehmen konnten. Of the various forms of collecting and cataloguing literary texts, classification as part of an authorial œuvre is one of the most common. The notion of the œuvre is often legitimised with regard to seemingly objective criteria, such as the extent or chronology of an author’s production, and its implications are thus downplayed and glossed over. By contrast, the present study explores the specific preconditions (and repercussions) of privileged status accorded to the idea of the authorial corpus. It argues that Late Republican and Augustan Latin literature is an especially momentous time in the history of the literary œuvre. The significant changes in literary culture that this period witnessed, not least the establishment of public libraries in Rome, led to an increasing awareness of and…
