In Memoriam Margret Helene Königstein Virginia Spencer Carr Antonio Maria Rodriguez-Vargas There is no steady unretracing progress in this life; we do not advance through fixed gradations and at the last one pause: – through infancy’s unconscious spell, boyhood’s thoughtless faith, adolescence’s doubt (the common doom), then skepticism, then disbelief, resting at last in manhood’s pondering repose of If. But once gone through, we trace the round again; and are infants, boys, and men, and Ifs eternally. Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more? Herman Melville (1851) Morgen-Glantz der Ewigkeit Licht vom unerschöpften Lichte Schick uns diese Morgen-Zeit Deine Strahlen zu Gesichte: Und vertreib durch deine Macht unsre Nacht. Christian Knorr von Rosenroth (c. 1690) Acknowledgments Nine years ago, in 2010, the first volume of Cotton Mather’s Biblia Americana (Genesis) appeared in print – thanks to the generous support of the distinguished publishing house Mohr Siebeck of Tübingen (Germany). It was a cause for celebration and, let me here confess it once and for all, a tremendous relief and personal vindication in more ways than one. Even the most well-meaning of colleagues generally shook their heads in disbelief (or was it pity?) that anyone would undertake to edit – let alone publish – Mather’s elephantine holograph manuscript of, roughly, three million words! Who, in this fast-paced academic world of publish or perish, would spend their aca- demic career on thumbing through dusty old manuscripts and arcane debates in the history of Enlightenment science and biblical hermeneutics? Hardly the kind of theory-driven enterprise that has transformed the studies of the humanities since the 1980s. After spending more than a decade of transcrib- ing the holograph manuscript, collating it against the original document at the Massachusetts Historical Society, proofreading it forward and backward and backward and forward again with the help of numerous graduate research assistants, and hunting down every imaginable primary source in rare-book libraries on both sides of the Atlantic – to repeat, after spending myriads of solitary hours of wading through the Mather bog, I held in my hands, at long last, the first printed copy ever of America’s First Bible Commentary. On the shiny dustjacket, Peter Pelham’s well-known portrait of Cotton Mather, peri- wigged in all his glory, seemed to wink and smile back at me – a projection of my own imagination, no doubt. Since that auspicious moment in late October of 2010, four more volumes of our ten-volume Biblia Americana project have been published: Ken Minkema’s BA 3 (Joshua – 2 Chronicles) in 2013, Clark Maddux’s BA 4 (Ezra – Psalms) in 2014, Jan Stievermann’s BA 5 (Proverbs – Jeremiah) in 2015, and Bob Brown’s BA 9 (John – Acts) in 2018. And now, inshallah, the second volume of Mather’s two-volume commentary on the Pentateuch, BA 2 (Exodus – Deuteronomy) in 2019. The remaining four volumes, edited by my colleagues Ava Chamberlain (BA 6), Doug Sweeney (BA 7), Rick Kennedy and Clark Maddux (BA 8), and Jan Stievermann (BA 10) – all in due order – are expected to appear by 2022. If miracles still occur in our time, then, surely, the internet and the world-wide-web must be counted among them. It never ceases to amaze me X Acknowledgments how incunabula, rare books, manuscripts, images, and digital resources of the remotest kind are accessible nowadays on any number of databases – just a few clicks away. “Eureka!” has since become part of my everyday vocabulary. Progress notwithstanding, I had the privilege of examining first-hand rare documents in libraries at home and abroad. My particular thanks go to the Massachusetts Historical Society, the American Antiquarian Society, Boston Public Library, Andover-Harvard Library, the Congregational Library and Archives, Pitts Theology Library at Emory University, the Huntington Library, the Bridwell Library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and (further afield), the Library of the Royal Society of London, the British Museum Li- brary, the Library of the Franckesche Stiftungen Halle, and the Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL). So, too, digital copies of rare works were made available through the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel, Staatsbib- liothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz Berlin, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München, Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg and Tübingen. Lest I forget, my colleagues at Georgia State University’s Pullen Library have gone out of their way to help me get access to primary and secondary works through interlibrary loans – if not otherwise available. Finally, many thanks to the now indispensable Google Books Library Project. It truly democratizes access to knowledge. The publication of this volume was made possible by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. We want to thank Jonathan VanAntwerpen, the Program Director for Theology at the Foundation, for his support of our project. For my research on Biblia Americana (BA 2 Exodus – Deuteronomy), I received several fellowships from the Massachusetts Historical Society, the American Antiquarian Society, the Huntington Library (Pasadena), the Andrew Clark Library (UCLA), and the Bridwell Library (SMU). The Department of English at Georgia State University under the leadership of Randy Malamud and Lynee Gaillet, and Sara Thomas Rosen, dean of the College of Arts and Science, generously granted two summer research fellowships and time off for two research intensive semesters (formerly known as sabbaticals). Special acknowledgements deserve my colleagues and collaborators Jan Stievermann under whose auspices our Mather Project received a generous grant from the Luce Foundation, Ken Minkema, Clark Maddux, Rick Kennedy, Ava Cham- berlain, Bob Brown, and Doug Sweeney. I am also grateful to Ute Smolinski (Limburg); Käthe Ristow (formerly of Mainz); Mark Langley (Topeka); Cary Hewitt and Margaret Bendroth (Congregational Library & Archives); Peter Drummey and Conrad Wright (MHS) for permission to edit and publish Biblia Americana; Rick Cogley (SMU); Christopher Trigg and Kate Blyn Wakely- Mulroney (NTU, Singapore); Alfred Hornung, Oliver Scheiding, and Damian Schlarb (Uni-Mainz); Baisheng Zhao (Peking University); Jiang “River” Liu (CPU, Nanjing); Henning Ziebritzki and Jana Trispel (Mohr Siebeck); and Acknowledgments XI untold well-wishers who suffered me to discuss my research at public lectures and conferences at home and abroad. My deep affections go out to my beloved daughters – Hannah Sophie Caldwell-Smolinski and Madeleine Marie Caldwell-Smolinski – who have grown up with Cotton Mather and who indulged their father’s penchant for musty old books.

  • Macedonian Kings, Egyptian Pharaohs the Ptolemaic Family In
    Department of World Cultures University of Helsinki Helsinki Macedonian Kings, Egyptian Pharaohs The Ptolemaic Family in the Encomiastic Poems of Callimachus Iiro Laukola ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki in auditorium XV, University Main Building, on the 23rd of September, 2016 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2016 © Iiro Laukola 2016 ISBN 978-951-51-2383-1 (paperback.) ISBN 978-951-51-2384-8 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2016 Abstract The interaction between Greek and Egyptian cultural concepts has been an intense yet controversial topic in studies about Ptolemaic Egypt. The present study partakes in this discussion with an analysis of the encomiastic poems of Callimachus of Cyrene (c. 305 – c. 240 BC). The success of the Ptolemaic Dynasty is crystallized in the juxtaposing of the different roles of a Greek ǴdzȅǻǽǷȏȄ and of an Egyptian Pharaoh, and this study gives a glimpse of this political and ideological endeavour through the poetry of Callimachus. The contribution of the present work is to situate Callimachus in the core of the Ptolemaic court. Callimachus was a proponent of the Ptolemaic rule. By reappraising the traditional Greek beliefs, he examined the bicultural rule of the Ptolemies in his encomiastic poems. This work critically examines six Callimachean hymns, namely to Zeus, to Apollo, to Artemis, to Delos, to Athena and to Demeter together with the Victory of Berenice, the Lock of Berenice and the Ektheosis of Arsinoe. Characterized by ambiguous imagery, the hymns inspect the ruptures in Greek thought during the Hellenistic age.

  • HEPTADIC VERBAL PATTERNS in the SOLOMON NARRATIVE of 1 KINGS 1–11 John A
    HEPTADIC VERBAL PATTERNS IN THE SOLOMON NARRATIVE OF 1 KINGS 1–11 John A. Davies Summary The narrative in 1 Kings 1–11 makes use of the literary device of sevenfold lists of items and sevenfold recurrences of Hebrew words and phrases. These heptadic patterns may contribute to the cohesion and sense of completeness of both the constituent pericopes and the narrative as a whole, enhancing the readerly experience. They may also serve to reinforce the creational symbolism of the Solomon narrative and in particular that of the description of the temple and its dedication. 1. Introduction One of the features of Hebrew narrative that deserves closer attention is the use (consciously or subconsciously) of numeric patterning at various levels. In narratives, there is, for example, frequently a threefold sequence, the so-called ‘Rule of Three’1 (Samuel’s three divine calls: 1 Samuel 3:8; three pourings of water into Elijah’s altar trench: 1 Kings 18:34; three successive companies of troops sent to Elijah: 2 Kings 1:13), or tens (ten divine speech acts in Genesis 1; ten generations from Adam to Noah, and from Noah to Abram; ten toledot [‘family accounts’] in Genesis). One of the numbers long recognised as holding a particular fascination for the biblical writers (and in this they were not alone in the ancient world) is the number seven.

  • Books in the Treasury
    Books in the Treasury I went forth unto the treasury of Laban. And as I went forth towards the treasury of Laban, behold, I saw the servant of Laban who had the keys of the treasury. And I commanded him in the voice of Laban, that he should go with me into the treasury. And he supposed me to be his master, Laban, for he beheld the garments and also the sword girded about my loins. And he spake unto me concerning the elders of the Jews, he knowing that his master, Laban, had been out by night among them. And I spake unto him as if it had been Laban. And I also spake unto him that I should carry the engravings, which were upon the plates of brass, to my elder brethren, who were without the walls. (1 Nephi 4:20–24) The earliest records possessed by the Nephites were the brass plates brought from Jerusalem. These plates had been kept in “the treasury of Laban,” whence Nephi retrieved them. The concept of keeping books in a treasury, while strange to the modern mind, was a common practice anciently, and the term often denoted what we would today call a library. Ezra 5:17–6:2 speaks of a “treasure house” containing written records. The Aramaic word rendered “treasure” in this passage is ginzayyâ, from the root meaning “to keep, hide” in both Hebrew and Aramaic. In Esther 3:9 and 4:7, the Hebrew word of the same origin is used to denote a treasury where money is kept.

  • Myth and Reality in the Battle Between the Pygmies and the Cranes in the Greek and Roman Worlds
    ARTÍCULOS Gerión. Revista de historia Antigua ISSN: 0213-0181 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/GERI.56960 Myth and Reality in the Battle between the Pygmies and the Cranes in the Greek and Roman Worlds Asher Ovadiah1; Sonia Mucznik2 Recibido: 19 de septiembre de 2016 / Aceptado: 23 de marzo de 2017 Abstract. Ancient writers, such as Homer, Aesop, Hecataeus of Miletus, Herodotus, Aristotle, Philostratus, Pliny the Elder, Juvenal and others have often referred to the enmity and struggle between the Pygmies and the Cranes. It seems that this folk-tale was conveyed to the Greeks through Egyptian sources. Greek and Roman visual works of art depict the Pygmies fighting against the vigorous and violent attack of the birds, which in some cases was vicious. This article sets out to examine the reasons for the literary and artistic portrayals of the Battle between the Pygmies and the Cranes (Geranomachy) in the context of the migration of the cranes in the autumn from the Caucasus (Scythian plains) to Central (Equatorial) Africa. In addition, an attempt will be made to clarify whether the literary sources and visual works of art reflect myth and/or reality. Keywords: Egypt; Ethiopia; Geranomachy; Migration; Nile; Scythia; Trojans. [en] Mito y realidad en la batalla entre los pigmeos y las grullas en el mundo griego y romano Resumen. Escritores antiguos, tales como Homero, Esopo, Hecateo de Mileto, Herodoto, Aristóteles, Filóstrato, Plinio el Viejo, Juvenal y otros se refirieron frecuentemente a la enemistad y guerra entre los pigmeos y las grullas. Es posible que este cuento popular fuese transmitido a los griegos a través de fuentes egipcias.

    Parte seconda Bibliotheca Collinsiana, seu Catalogus Librorum Antonji Collins Armigeri ordine alphabetico digestus Avvertenza La biblioteca non è solo il luogo della tua memoria, dove conservi quel che hai letto, ma il luogo della memoria universale, dove un giorno, nel momento fata- le, potrai trovare quello che altri hanno letto prima di te. Umberto Eco, La memoria vegetale e altri scritti di bibliografia, Milano, Rovello, 2006 Si propone qui un’edizione del catalogo manoscritto della collezione libra- ria di Anthony Collins,1 la cui prima compilazione egli completò nel 1720.2 Nei nove anni successivi tuttavia Collins ampliò enormemente la sua biblioteca, sin quasi a raddoppiarne il numero delle opere. Annotò i nuovi titoli sulle pagine pari del suo catalogo che aveva accortamente riservato a successive integrazio- ni. Dispose le nuove inserzioni in corrispondenza degli autori già schedati, attento a preservare il più possibile l’ordine alfabetico. Questo tuttavia è talora impreciso e discontinuo.3 Le inesattezze, che ricorrono più frequentemente fra i titoli di inclusione più tarda, devono imputarsi alla difficoltà crescente di annotare nel giusto ordine le ingenti e continue acquisizioni. Sono altresì rico- noscibili abrasioni e cancellature ed in alcuni casi, forse per esigenze di spazio, oppure per sostituire i titoli espunti, i lemmi della prima stesura sono frammez- zati da titoli pubblicati in date successive al 1720.4 In appendice al catalogo, due liste confuse di titoli, per la più parte anonimi, si svolgono l’una nelle pagi- ne dispari e l’altra in quelle pari del volume.5 Agli anonimi seguono sparsi altri 1 Sono molto grato a Francesca Gallori e Barbara Maria Graf per aver contribuito alla revi- sione della mia trascrizione con dedizione e generosità.
