Lucian of Samosata, the prolific Greek-speaking satirist of the 2nd century AD, left us a wide range of works ranging from harsh invective against cult-leaders and philosophers to playful pastiche of Herodotus' Histories. Art and artists, teachers of rhetoric, inconsistent myths, parasites in rich households, authors seeking imperial patronage and the rich and powerful themselves all provide rich material for his wit and humour. In this volume the focus is not on the literary values of Lucia...

Lucian of Samosata met a two-sided fate: on the one hand he was attacked for philosophical and theological reasons; on the other he was admired for the command of the Greek language and the stylistic elegance he displays in his writings. The origins of this twofold attitude towards Lucian seem to date back to the exegesis devoted to him by Arethas, archbishop of Caesarea, which is integrally examined for the first time in this publication. The book consists of eleven chapters: 1 (manuscript tradition of Arethas' scholia on Lucian); 2 (Arethas' polemic against Lucian); 3 (scholia with "ations from biblical and patristic texts); 4 (scholia with "ations from classical texts); 5 (relationships between Arethas' scholia and Photius' Bibliotheca); 6 (scholia concerning matters of language or style); 7 (scholia dealing with various learning); 8 (scholia containing autoschediasms); 9 (scholia comparing words or facts found in Lucian's writings with words or facts belonging to the scholiast's times); 10 (bibliography); 11 (index of Arethas' scholia on Lucian).

Observateur hors pair, critique acerbe, orateur virtuose qui manie l’humour et l’ironie tout autant qu’il se plaît aux références intertextuelles et aux réflexions métalittéraires, Lucien de Samosate est un des grands noms du iie siècle après J.-C. Son influence sur des oeuvres aussi variées que l’Éloge de la Folie d’Érasme, Pantagruel et Gargantua de Rabelais, les Dialogues des morts de Fontenelle, les Voyages de Gulliver de Swift et les Petites œuvres morales de Leopardi témoigne de l’étendue de ses expérimentations littéraires. C’est à l’une des spécificités de l’écriture lucianesque, la mixis, que le présent ouvrage est consacré. Le mélange des genres à l’oeuvre chez Lucien y est examiné par un ensemble de spécialistes dans ses dimensions théoriques et pratiques. En effet, si Lucien se revendique fièrement comme l’inventeur d’un type particulier de mélange, le dialogue comique, une multiplicité d’autres formes, d’autres « ingrédients » sont convoqués dans ses textes. En s’interrogeant sur la nature de la mixis, sur ses modalités et sur ses fonctions, ainsi que sur ses effets, il s’agit de proposer une synthèse sur un des éléments clés de la poétique lucianesque.

Within Lucian's works, Timon is referable to the writer's maturity and it is considered to be one of the best and most typical dialogues written by the author from Samosata. This study traces the story of the fascinating and enigmatical character of the Athenian Timon, a archetype of a misanthrop, in his literary development up to his crucial meeting with Lucian of Samosata. The work offers, for the first time, an analytical commentary on Lucian's Timon. The reader will find in the book an introduction, which is divided in four different sections: the first contains some general notes on the Second Sophistic and Lucian; the second restores the literary development of the misanthrope Timon from his origins in the Attic comedy to the II century a.D.; the third part offers an analysis of the relationship between Lucian's Timon and the literary tradition, and, afterwards, an investigation into the dialogue's fortune from the II century to the XX century; the last section gives short but exhaustive details about the literary style and the language used in the work. To facilitate the consultation, the analytical commentary is again divided into sections - each one with a short individual introduction - and follows the Greek text and the translation.

In den lukianischen Göttergesprächen wird die traditionelle griechische Götterwelt einer dezidiert ironisch-satirischen Beleuchtung ausgesetzt, die im 2. Jh. n. Chr. nicht zuletzt dem jungen Christentum wichtige Argumente zur Bekämpfung des alten Götterglaubens liefern konnte. Die insgesamt fünfundzwanzig lebendigen dialogischen Szenen haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten nur begrenzter Aufmerksamkeit erfreut; nicht zuletzt deshalb werden sie hier neu präsentiert. Der hier vorgelegte Band bietet eine Einleitung in das Werk, einen erheblich revidierten griechischen Text, eine neue Übersetzung mit Anmerkungen sowie sechs Beiträge aus verschiedenen Disziplinen (Klassische Philologie, Alte Geschichte und Patristik), die die Bedeutung dieser Göttergespräche nicht nur im Kontext ihrer Zeit, sondern auch darüber hinaus umfassend erschließen wollen.

For the first time since 1695, a complete text of De Arte Graphica as Dryden himself wrote it is available to readers. In all, Volume XX presents six pieces written during Dryden's final decade, each of them either requested by a friend or commissioned by a publisher. Two are translations, three introduce translations made by others, and the sixth introduces an original work by one of Dryden's friends.The most recent version of De Arte Graphica, Saintsbury's late nineteenth-century reissue of Scott's edition, based the text of the translated matter on an edition that was heavily revised by someone other than Dryden. In fact, only one of the pieces offered here, the brief Character of Saint-Evremond, has appeared complete in a twentieth-century edition. The commentary in this volume supplies biographical and bibliographical contexts for these pieces and draws attention to the views on history and historians, poetry and painting, Virgil and translation, which Dryden expresses in them.Many other volumes of prose, poetry, and plays are available in the California Edition of The Works of John Dryden.
