  • ON the SUBLIME Alain Billault Longinus' on the Sublime Entered
    ON THE SUBLIME Alain Billault Longinus' On the Sublime entered the history of French literature in 1674, when Boileau's translation of the Greek text was published in Paris. The title of the book read Traité du Sublime ou Du mervàlleux dans le discours, traduit du grec de Longin. Its publication enabled the well-read audience to rediscover an ancient treatise which had been neglected for a very long time. It was also a turning-point in Boileau's literary career and a path-breaking event of some consequence in the history of aesthetics. This is why the context, the making, the contents, the purpose and the influence of this translation are worth studying. The Context of the Publication of Boileau's Translation The rediscovery of Longinus' On the Sublime in Europe at the time of the Renaissance was difficult and slow.1 In 1554, Francesco Robortello published in Basel the editio princeps of the Greek text. Paul Manuce, the famous Venetian publisher, followed in his foot­ steps the year after. But in 1605, the great scholar Isaac Casaubon commenting on Persius' Satires remarked that Longinus was seldom read: "Longe plura Longinus in aureolo nee satis unquam lecto libello."2 Then came Franciscus Portus whose edition was published in Geneva in 1669 and became the source of all the subsequent edi­ tions through the eighteenth century. But the treatise was not paid much attention, even after 1663, when Tanneguy Le Fèvre's edition was published in Saumur.3 In 1694, Jacobus Tollius released his own edition in Utrecht. He had actually finished his work in 1677, but he had beeen unable to find a publisher for seventeen years.

  • P. Tavonatti, Le Congetture Di Franciscus Portus Alle Eumenidi
    LE CONGETTURE DI FRANCISCUS PORTUS ALLE ‘EUMENIDI’ Il XVI secolo è l’epoca della riscoperta di Eschilo: l’editio princeps, curata da Francesco Asolano e uscita dalle officine di Aldo Manuzio nel 1518, è seguita dalle edizioni di Francesco Robortello e Adrian Tournebus (entrambe del 1552), di Vetto- ri-Estienne (1557) e di Willem Canter (1580). Tra gli umanisti del ’500 che hanno tentato di emendare il testo eschileo e di renderlo intelligibile figura anche Franci- scus Portus (1511-1581). Costui, di origini italiane, nacque a Rethymnon e, in gio- ventù, fu allievo di Arsenio di Monembasia. Tra il 1527 e il 1561 vagò per le corti dell’Italia settentrionale (Venezia, Modena, Ferrara), dove tenne corsi di greco ed entrò in contatto con i maggiori intellettuali del suo tempo (Giovanni Grillenzone, Ludovico Castelvetro, Martin Crusius, Théodore de Bèze). Negli ultimi vent’anni di vita fu titolare della cattedra di letteratura greca presso l’Università di Ginevra. I suoi vasti interessi riguardavano la tragedia, Esiodo, Omero, Pindaro, i bucolici minori (Bione, Mosco), Tucidide e Senofonte, la Retorica e Poetica di Aristotele, i trattati di Aftonio, Ermogene e Longino, Dionigi di Alicarnasso, nonché studi sul lessico (connessi con il Lexicon graecolatinum di Robert Costantin). L’esegesi al testo eschileo ci è trasmessa dai marginalia all’edizione di Vettori-Estienne (codice 756 D 22 dell’Universiteitsbibliotheek di Leiden) e dal ms. B.P.L. 180. Quest’ulti- mo, un inedito conservato presso l’Universiteitsbibliotheek di Leiden, contiene il commento, fondato sull’edizione di Vettori-Estienne, alle sette tragedie superstiti di Eschilo. Dopo i lavori di Monique Mund-Dopchie1, che lo ha segnalato e rivalutato, esso è stato studiato da Martin L.

  • Commentatio Et Variae Lectiones
    COMMENTATIO, Προλεγόμενα ET VARIAE LECTIONES : DIFFERENTS ASPECTS DU COMMENTAIRE HUMANISTE1 La philologie consiste en l’étude historique des textes. Plus particulièrement, en l’étude for- melle de ceux-ci dans les différents manuscrits qui nous ont été transmis, dans le but d’en réa- liser l’édition critique. Ce fut là le travail essentiel des humanistes de la Renaissance. Les com- mentaires ne furent néanmoins pas délaissés. Quelle était la conception du commentaire à cette époque ? Les trois exemples développés ci- après montrent que les humanistes n’avaient pas une idée unique du commentaire. En effet, Joachim Camerarius s’attelle à une explication mot à mot, ou phrase par phrase. François Portus rédige des observations plus générales. Piero Vettori, enfin, n’a pas l’objectif de commenter un auteur, mais plutôt d’expliquer les corrections qu’il apporte au texte. Nous ne voulons pas présenter ici une vision exhaustive du commentaire humaniste. Il s’agit plutôt de montrer trois types de travaux, avec Sophocle comme prétexte, qui sont, selon moi, représentatifs de la manière de faire à la Renaissance. LA COMMENTATIO DE JOACHIM CAMERARIUS Dès 1534, Joachim Camerarius publia une édition grecque de Sophocle.2 Le texte, contenu dans le premier volume, est celui de l’édition princeps d’Alde Manuce (Venise, 1502) ; le second volume atteste des commentaires, qui ont été en partie analysés récemment par Michael Lurje.3 En 1556, le même Camerarius publia d’autres commentaires, en partie repris à ceux de 1534 : ce sont ceux-ci que j’analyserai dans les pages qui suivent. Le titre complet est le suivant :4 Commentatio explicationum omnium tragoediarum Sophoclis.

  • Robin Sowerby
    The Homeric Versio Latina ROBIN SOWERBY This study examines the versio Latina of Homer's Iliad, first made in the 1360s, from its initial printing in 1537 through all its subsequent revisions up to the end of the seventeenth century.' All complete Graeco-Latin editions of the Iliad available in British libraries have been examined. A stemma listing these editions and indicating the editor or reviser of the versio in each case can be found below (page 189). After its initial printing, the versio was revised eight times in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Conclusions about the process of revision are drawn from a collation of the first book of the Iliad; a sample comprising the first sixteen lines of the versio in its various revisions is also given in an appendix. Many of the examples in the discussion that follows are taken from this sample; the rest are drawn from various parts of Book 1. While the focus is on the Iliad, a historian of the versio Latina cannot ignore the Odyssey, to which frequent reference is made in the early stages of this study. However, no systematic collation of the versio in the Odyssey lies behind anything said of it here. Conclusions drawn from a collation of only one book of the Iliad may be thought to have only a limited validity. There is no reason to suppose that editors were consistent in their practice throughout twenty-four books. On the one hand is the tendency on the part of a less than diligent editor not to sustain the effort put in at the beginning, on the other is the capacity of the diligent and conscientious to improve with practice in performance of the task.

  • Martin Litchfield West
    Martin Litchfield West 23 September 1937 – 13 July 2015 elected Fellow of the British Academy 1973 by ROBERT FOWLER Fellow of the Academy Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XVII, 89–120 Posted 27 September 2018. © British Academy 2018 MARTIN WEST Martin West was one of the greatest Hellenists of modern times. Although working largely within the boundaries of traditional classical philology—editing texts, writing commentaries, reconstructing literary history—his enormous oeuvre can be called revolutionary in the sense that nearly everything he wrote decisively affected the course of scholarship. Revolutionary without question is his work on the ancient Near Eastern background of Greek literature, culminating in The East Face of Helicon (Oxford, 1997). The conviction, evident already in the commentary on Hesiod’s Theogony (Oxford, 1966), that early Greek literature must be understood in this wider, eastern Mediterranean context, had few advocates before him, mere voices in the wilderness; as a result of his labours, awareness of the Near Eastern background has become obligatory for all Greek scholars. A similar view of Greek myth, philosophy and religion was championed by Walter Burkert (1931–2015), whom West first met while studying at Erlangen in summer term 1960 under the great Hellenist and historian of ancient religion Reinhold Merkelbach (1918–2006). This was a serendip­ itous meeting, for apart from their lifelong friendship Burkert was the scholar West admired most among his contemporaries. They had in common a determination both to document the formative influence of adjacent cultures upon the Greek, and to trace its ancestry—in Burkert’s case, back to early hunting societies and their rituals of sacrifice; in West’s case, to the Indo­Europeans, leading ultimately to Indo-European Poetry and Myth (Oxford, 2007).

  • \Tas There a Stream of Greek Humanists in the Late
    \TAS THERE A STREAMOF GREEKHUMANISTS IN THE LATE RENAISSANCE? It is commonly accepted that Greek intellectuals made an important con- tribution to the rise of what we call the Renaissance,that is, the cultural re- vival which started in ltaly in the early fourteenth century and which by its 'Western end in the early seventeethhad spread across the whole of Europe. Learned 6migr6s from Byzantium, like Chrysoloras, Argyropoulos, Bessarion, Trapezountios,among others, are credited, quite rightly, with consolidating the knowledge of the Greek languageand literature which was very limited in the'West during the Middle Agesr,but which was crucial to the development of Renaissanceculture. More specifically,this knowledge was essenrialto the formation of what we now call humanism, that is, the aspect of Renaissance culture concerned with learning and education2.Since the central idea of humanism was that true learning is to be retrieved from classicalantiquity rather than created anew, the knowledge of Greek was just as indispensable as Latin in achievingthis ideal. The study of philosophy, medicine, geogra- phy, or theology, for instance,amounted basicallyto the study of the original texts of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Galen, Pliny, Ptolemy, and the Bible respectively.And, as is widely known, Greeks played an importanr role in this cultural movement during the 15th and early 16th century as teachersof Greek, operating primarily in Italy but also in France and Spain. Some of them held the newly founded chairs of Greek in the medieval universities, others taught privately, sometimesin royal courts, most prominently in that of the Medici in Florence, while others were hired by the first publishers, This paper was first presented in the Modern Greek seminar at the University of Oxford (January 2000) and at Cambridge.

  • Textual Problems in Ar. Thesm
    COLIN AUSTIN Trinity Hall, Cambridge TEXTUAL PROBLEMS IN AR. THESM. μακρύς ό δρόμος, γεμάτος περιπέτειες, γεμάτος γνώσεις. While Cavafy’s Ithaka-bound traveller hopes to enter λιμένας πρω- τοειδωμένους and to acquire beautiful σεντέφια καί κοράλλια, κεχριμπάρια κι έβενους, an editor of Aristophanes and the Comic Poets enters libraries and - mirabile dictu - discovers gold in the early printed editions and the unpublished notes of earlier scholars* For the comic fragments I can mention Guillaume Morel and Dirk Canter, whose pioneering work in the XVIth Century has been rescued from oblivion: their names and emen­ dations now adorn the pages of PCG1. As regards Thesmophoriazusae, a * Cavafy urges his traveller to visit many cities, νά μάθης καί νά μάΟης άπ* τούς σπουδασμένους. Some of the problems discussed here were read to friendly and receptive audiences at the Queen’s College, Oxford (March 1987) and at the Universities of Genoa, Rome, Ioannina, Bonn and Cologne (May-June 1988). For warm and generous hospitality as well as helpful comments I am greatly indebted to Angus Bowie, Laetitia Edwards and Hugh Lloyd-Jones in Oxford, Umberto Albini, Chico Rossi, Silvia Rizzo and Albio Cassio in Italy, Mary Mantziou and her colleagues in Epirus, Rudolf Kassel and Otto Zwierlein in Germany. The fol­ lowing pages show how much I owe to Eric Handley and Harry Sandbach in Cam­ bridge. Sir Kenneth Dover in St. Andrews and Alan Sommerstein in Nottingham contributed some illuminating comments. In London Soteroula Constantinidou helped me to unearth some hidden treasures in the British Library, as did Marcel Chantry in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.
