SAPERE Griechische und lateinische Texte der späteren Antike (1.–4. Jh. n. Chr.) haben lange Zeit gegenüber den sogenannten ‚klassischen‘ Epo- chen im Schatten gestanden. Dabei haben die ersten vier nachchrist- lichen Jahrhunderte im griechischen wie im lateinischen Bereich eine Fülle von Werken zu philosophischen, ethischen und religiösen Fra- gen hervorgebracht, die sich ihre Aktualität bis heute bewahrt haben. Die – seit Beginn des Jahres 2009 von der Union der deutschen Akademien der Wissenschaften geförderte – Reihe SAPERE (Scripta Antiquitatis Posterioris ad Ethicam REligionemque pertinentia, ‚Schriften der späteren Antike zu ethischen und religiösen Fragen‘) hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, gerade solche Texte über eine neuartige Verbindung von Edition, Übersetzung und interdisziplinärer Kommen- tierung in Essayform zu erschließen. Der Name SAPERE knüpft bewusst an die unterschiedlichen Konno- tationen des lateinischen Verbs an. Neben der intellektuellen Dimension (die Kant in der Übersetzung von sapere aude, „Habe Mut, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen“, zum Wahlspruch der Aufklärung ge- macht hat), soll auch an die sinnliche des „Schmeckens“ zu ihrem Recht kommen: Einerseits sollen wichtige Quellentexte für den Diskurs in ver- schiedenen Disziplinen (Theologie und Religionswissenschaft, Philolo- gie, Philosophie, Geschichte, Archäologie ...) aufbereitet, andererseits aber Leserinnen und Leser auch „auf den Geschmack“ der behandelten Texte gebracht werden. Deshalb wird die sorgfältige wissenschaftliche Untersuchung der Texte, die in den Essays aus unterschiedlichen Fach- perspektiven beleuchtet werden, verbunden mit einer sprachlichen Prä- sentation, welche die geistesgeschichtliche Relevanz im Blick behält und die antiken Autoren zugleich als Gesprächspartner in gegenwärtigen Fragestellungen zur Geltung bringt. Vorwort zu diesem Band Dass der vorliegende Band innerhalb relativ kurzer Zeit zum Ab- schluss gebracht werden konnte, ist vor allem Fabio Berdozzo zu verdanken, der – auf der Grundlage der im Jahre 2003 erschienenen kommentierten und zweisprachigen griechisch-italienischen Cornutus- Ausgabe von Ilaria Ramelli – zu dieser SAPERE-Ausgabe Einleitung, Text mit deutscher Übersetzung und Anmerkungen zu dieser Über- setzung beigesteuert und ihr damit das Fundament gegeben hat, daneben aber auch allen weiteren Beiträgern, die sich in vorbildlicher Weise an ihnen auferlegte Fristen gehalten und damit zu der schnellen Vollendung ebenfalls wesentlich beigetragen haben. Die ursprünglich fremdsprachigen Beiträge von George Boys-Stones, Alexei Zado- rojnyi und Ilaria Ramelli wurden von Balbina Bäbler ins Deutsche (mit Revisionen von Heinz-Günther Nesselrath) übertragen; die Indices werden ebenfalls Balbina Bäbler verdankt.

Die direkte Zu- weisung des Kompendiums an den Philosophen Cornutus findet sich erst in viel späteren Quellen3 und ist daher zum Zweck einer Bestäti- gung der Autorschaft wenig aussagekräftig.4 Auf diese Frage wird später

  • 82 Grezia Eta Erromako Pertsonaia Mitologikoak
    82 GREZIA ETA ERROMAKO PERTSONAIA MITOLOGIKOAK --- ARAU OSATUA, EGUNERATUA ETA EMENDATUA 1- 1998ko araua 1998an, 82. araua onartu zuen Euskaltzaindiak: Grezia eta Erromako pertsonaia mitologikoak. Arauak ez zuen sarrerarik izan, baina oin-ohar bat zuen irizpideei jatorria zein zen jakinazteko. Hona hemen: (*) Zerrenda hauek osatzeko erabili diren irizpideak, 76. Araua, hots, “Latin eta greziar pertsona- izen klasikoak euskaraz emateko irizpideei buruzko erabakia” gauzatzeko erabilitakoak dira. 2- Arau osatua, eguneratua eta emendatua Hamazazpi urte igaro dira arauaren lehen bertsio hura plazaratu zenetik, eta, latin eta greziar pertsona-izen klasikoen arauan bezala, gaur egun euskara batuan argitaratzen diren lanetan (eskola-liburuak, entziklopediak, hiztegiak, literatura, komunikabideak…), guztiz hedatuta dago arauan emandako eredua. Bigarren bertsio honetan, osatu egin da orduko zerrenda hura, eta hartan agertzen ez diren zenbait izen erantsi. Arauaren lehen bertsioak 249 izen bildu zituen. Orain, 83 izen gehiago erantsi dira, eta Fenizia eta Kartagoko hiru jainko-jainkosa nagusi ere sartu dira (zerrendan Latina /Grekoa zutabea hutsik duten izenak dira). Beraz, 335 mitonimoz osatutako izendegi bat du arauaren bigarren bertsioak. Gainera, 1998ko zerrendan, gaztelaniazko eta frantsesezko ordainak bai baina ingelesezko ordainak ez ziren eman; orain, erantsi egin dira ingelesezko ordainak, kanpoko leku- eta pertsona-izenen gainerako arauetan egin ohi den bezala. Zerrendara bildu diren izaki mitologiko horietako batzuk multzo-izenak dira, eta pluralean erabili ohi dira. Haietako bakoitzak zenbait mitonimo biltzen ditu; gehienetan, mugatuak dira (Pleiadeak zazpi ziren; Eniriak, hiru; Furiak eta Graziak ere hiru ziren …), eta letra larriz hasita idatzi ohi dira; badira beste horrelako multzo-izen batzuk, zenbait izaki mitologikoren kopuru mugagabea edo oso handia dutenak, hala nola ninfak, sirenak, nereidak, larak, manak, ozeanideak, naiadeak…; halakoak erabat letra xehez idatzi ohi dira, eta lexiko arrunteko hiztegietan agertu ohi dira.

London, New York, Toronto and Melbourne 1910 ca') zz-^y . a k. WELLCOME INS77Tint \ LIBRARY Coll. W^iMOmeo Coll. No. _Zv_^ _ii ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTRODUCTION Our grandfathers regarded the study of mythology as a necessary adjunct to a polite education, without a knowledge of which neither the classical nor the more modem poets could be read with understanding. But it is now recognised that upon mythology and folklore rests the basis of the new science of Comparative Religion. The evolution of religion from mythology has now been made plain. It is a law of evolution that, though the parent types which precede certain forms are doomed to perish, they yet bequeath to their descendants certain of their characteristics ; and although mythology has perished (in the civilised world, at least), it has left an indelible stamp not only upon modem religions, but also upon local and national custom. The work of Fruger, Lang, Immerwahr, and others has revolutionised mythology, and has evolved from the unexplained mass of tales of forty years ago a definite and systematic science.

  • Caves of Wonder
    CAVES OF WONDER: THE LEGITIMACY OF THE GROTTO AS A SUBTERRANEAN LANDSCAPE ELEMENT by VANESSA D. BERNSTEIN (Under the Direction of Marianne Cramer) ABSTRACT This thesis explores the relevance of the grotto as an architectural type through time and will propose design possibilities for continuing this tradition in the twenty first century. Specifically, it investigates grotto works from the classical period through the twentieth century. Emphasis will be placed on the form, meaning, and purpose of the grotto as an underground chamber or passage. This thesis also considers the grotto as a platform for theoretical speculation on the implications of designing below the earth’s surface. The final component of the thesis is a design application comprised of three stories with corresponding collages that portray the design process for grotto inspired structures. INDEX WORDS: grottoes, nymphaea, fountain design, artificial caves, subterranean architecture, garden structures, follies, symbolism in architecture, survival of antiquity, visionary art, landscape architecture, historic preservation, cultural history CAVES OF WONDER: THE LEGITIMACY OF THE GROTTO AS A SUBTERRANEAN LANDSCAPE ELEMENT By VANESSA D.
