  • Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation

    Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation

    RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.

For more information about the LCS, visit http://www.conlang.org/ Transcription of the 1657 edition of Cave Beck’s “The Universal Character”. What’s this all about then? The idea of a “universal language”, a language that can be understood by all peoples of the Earth, has been with us for several centuries. There were two periods when the idea flourished – firstly, at the start of the European Enlightenment era, in the 17th century; and again towards the second half of the 19th century, when the Socialist and pacifist movements began to take root. The very first published attempt at producing a universal language was made by Francis Lodwick in 1652, when he published his “The Ground-work or Foundation Laid (or so intended) For the Framing of a New Perfect Language: and an Universall or Common Writing”. This was a very brief description of a universal language scheme, running to no more than 19 pages. But it heralded the beginning of a golden era of similar schemes, which culminated in – and arguably was finished off by – John Wilkins’ “Essay Towards a Universal Character” of 1668.
