To these ends, each volume will have its own theme and title and will be planned by one or more members of the Advisory Board in consultation with the editor. Although the volumes have specific themes, the series itself will not be limited to one or even to a few particular areas. Its subjects include any of the sciences, ranging from biology through physics, all aspects of technology, broadly construed, as well as historically-engaged philosophy of science or technology. Taken as awhole,Archimedes will be of interest to historians, philosophers, and scientists, as well as to those in business and industry who seek to understand how science and industry have come to be so strongly linked.

  • Phoenix from the Ashes Kleve.Pdf (826.1Kb)
    PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES: LUCRETIUS AND ENNIUS IN HERCULANEUM Knut Kleve Otto Skutsch in memoriam The Library in Herculaneum When the king of Naples dug for art treasures under the lava in Herculaneum in the 1750's, he also came upon a library consisting of two thousand heavily carbonized and petrified papyrus scrolls. By means of a glue method invented by A. Piaggio eight hundred scrolls were unrolled in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The remaining one thousand and eight hundred scrolls were regarded as hopeless.1 In the 1980's, however, Piaggio's method was refined by the Norwegian Brynjulf Fosse and the opening of the scrolls has now started again in the National Library of Naples, where they are housed.2 The papyri aroused great expectations when they were found. One looked forward to new tragedies of Euripides, the Annals of Ennius, and unknown books of Tacitus. The disappointment was great when what came to light were dry, philosophical works in Greek. The so-called Papyrus Villa, where the library was found, turned out to be an Epicurean school on Roman soil with Philodemus of Gadara, a contemporary of Cicero, as head master. Scores of treatises under his name were unrolled: "On Rhetoric", "On Signs", "On Death", "On Music", "On Economy", "On Piety", "On the Gods", etc.3 When Fosse resumed the opening, Professor M. Gigante, who is the director of the international papyrus centre in Naples, prayed:"no more Philodemus!" There was, of course, more Philodemus, but also something different and interesting which indicates that the old expectations had not been all that unrealistic.

Vesuvius when it was buried by tons of thick volcanic mud that gradually hardened to a concrete-like consistency. Workers searching for artistic treasures in the villa were rewarded by the discovery of many important works of art-in particular a series of bronze busts. Rather than excavating the villa in the traditional manner which would have meant removing the huge layer of volcanic debris that covered the villa, they simply tunneled down through the concrete-like volcanic mud and then around the villa. In the course of their excavations they discovered the carbonized remains of a library of some 1500 papyri rolls-thus the name Villa of the Papyri.

  • Lucretius'book II in P.Herc
    K NUT K LEVE Lucretius’ Book II in P.Herc. 395 P.Herc. 395 was unrolled in 1805 by F. Casanova and G. Braibanti and is mounted in 17 “cornici”. The Catalogo dei Papiri Ercolanesi classi fi es the papyrus as “illegibile”, but it can in fact be read. So far I have been through “cornici” 4, 5 and 17, all of which contain fragments from Lucr. II. The readings, presented in the Appendix, are based upon my colour macro slides 1 which still have to be controlled against the papyrus. The text will be published in the Cronache Ercolanesi by Gianluca Del Mastro and myself. Twelve years ago I identi fi ed some tiny “pezzi in cassetto” 114, which turned out to belong to other books of Lueretius: I, II, IV and V 2 . However, Mario Capasso has recently announced that there is no Lucretius in Herculaneum 3 : In a paper read in Lille he has proved that all my former readings are wrong, and that P.Herc. 395 cannot possibly have contained the De rerum natura, but what it has contained, he is unable to say. Capasso feels like Dr. Stockmann in Ibsen’s play An Enemy of the People, who reveals that the public baths are polluted4 . P.Herc. 395, Text 17C (cf. Appendix, original colour slide was shown) 1 On the photo method cf. K.

    WERNER SUERBAUM DER PYRRHOS-KRIEG IN ENNIUS’ ANNALES VI IM LICHTE DER ERSTEN ENNIUS-PAPYRI AUS HERCULANEUM aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 106 (1995) 31–52 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 31 DER PYRRHOS-KRIEG IN ENNIUS’ ANNALES VI IM LICHTE DER ERSTEN ENNIUS-PAPYRI AUS HERCULANEUM 1. Warten auf Ennius-Papyri bis 1990 Schon seitdem 1752–1754 die unterirdischen Grabungen des Königs von Neapel in der erstarrten Lava von Herculaneum etwa 1.800 verkohlte Papyrus-Rollen oder Teile davon aus der sog. Villa dei Papiri zu Tage gefördert hatten, hoffte man, hier hätte man Schätze geborgen, die die großen Lücken in der Überlieferung der antiken Literatur ausfüllen würden. Nun, nicht gerade „unknown books of Tacitus“ (wie ein Enthusiast 1991 formulier- te – wenn es solche schon im Jahre 79 n. Chr. gegeben hätte, wäre das eine chronologische Sensation) erwartete man zu finden, aber doch z. B. ein Werk wie die Annales des Ennius – daß es nicht handschriftlich erhalten ist, kann als einer der empfindlichsten Verluste der lateinischen Literatur bezeichnet werden. Als sich dann herausstellte, daß die Villa der Sitz einer epikureischen Schule mit Philodemos von Gadara als Meister gewesen war und man immer mehr Rollen mit Schriften Philodems, aber auch Epikurs selber entzifferte, erlosch die Hoffnung doch nicht ganz, wenigstens einen frühen Lukrez-Text zu finden. Und man wußte ja: Lukrez hatte Ennius verehrt, obwohl (etsi praeterea . .) die von diesem vertretene Seelenwanderungslehre seinen epikureischen Prinzipien widersprach. Würde man vielleicht doch eines Tages einen Text mit Ennius-Versen finden?1 Etwa drei Jahre nachdem Otto Skutsch seine monumentale Ausgabe von Ennius’ Anna- len (Oxford 1985) nach jahrzehntelangen Vorarbeiten publiziert hatte, öffnete T.

    SMIDD I HYMENS LENKE Ein studie av komediar, bryllaup og ekteskapsinngåinga si tyding i den romarske republikken Linda Iren Havn Lystfell Hovudoppgåve i historie Universitetet i Oslo, våren 2005 Forord Først av alt vil eg takke rettleiaren min, Jon Iddeng. Det har vore eit privilegium å ha ein så dyktig og engasjert rettleiar. Få brenn vel så sterkt for antikken si historie som nettopp han. Gløden og iveren hans er heldigvis smittsam! Ein gong eg var oppe på kontoret hans til rettleiing sa han entusiastisk: ”Husk det, Linda, at veien til heder og ære går gjennom slit og hardt arbeid.” Det har han sanneleg rett i, og eg må vedkjenne at det kjennes både godt, men samstundes litt trist å nå ha kome til vegs ende med hovudfagsprosjektet mitt. I tillegg vil eg takke Knut Ødegård for synspunkta hans på prosjektskildringa mi. Eg vil også takke Johan Schreiner for nyttige kommentarar og tips til dei to første kapitla mine. Eg skyldar også Knut Kleve ein stor takk for at han har late meg få analysere den romarske komedien Faenerator som han fant under arbeidet med å rulle ut Herculaneum-papyra i 1996. Det kjennes som om heile livet mitt har dreia seg om bryllaup dei siste to og eit halvt åra. Midt i arbeidet med komediane, bryllaup og ekteskapsinngåinga si tyding i den romarske republikken, har nemleg eg sjølv også fått gleda av å planlegge bryllaup og smiast i Hymens lenker. Mannen min, Thomas Lystfell, og eg gifta oss 29. mai 2004. Bryllaupet hadde nok ikkje noko særleg romarsk preg over seg, i og med at vi for det første valde å gifte oss i den månaden romarane meinte at alle gifteklare par burde unngå, nemleg mai månad… Det var snarare eit tradisjonelt norsk kyrkjebryllaup.

Epicurus has found it for us, everything is in his books. As Lucretius says in the prooemium to his third book: "As bees in the fiorwey glades sip all the sweets, so we likewise feed on all your golden words ... worthy of life eternal" (3, lOff., Rouse's trans.). What is left to do? One may ask what there is left for the adherents of Epicurus to do ex­ cept to take the master's doctrine to heart and enjoy life like the intermun­ dane gods, free from fear of death and superstition. The right doctrine had, ofcourse, to be preserved and spread, also to the barbarians, like Lu­ ,,,,11 cretius did to the Romans. And the doctrine had to be defended against " old enemies, like Plato, who always could threaten the disciples' peace of mind, and against new enemies who might appear, like the Stoics. Preser­ vation and defence are the two chief elements to be found in Lucretius and the texts from Herculaneum. Colotes wrote anti-commentaries to. the dialogues ofPlato 1. In Philodemus' "On Piety" popular religion is critici­ zed and so are all philosophers from Thales to the Stoics for their theolo­ gical theories 2.

Det sier seg selv at <<S tØy» i teksten gjør slik tolking vanskelig. Manuskript kall leveres fra følgende utskrifts-utstyr: l) Helst manuskript skrevet på skrivemaskin, eller også 2) manuskript skrevet ut med laserskriver fra datamaskin eller PC Regler for hvordan manus bør se ut: l) VIKTIG: Ingen flekker,håndskrevne rettelser, delingavord på slutten av linjerellerunderstrekninger av ord! Bruk heller tykkere tegn for utheving. Skrdskrift for utheviQg går også, men kan gi <<StØy» ved tolking. Har man ikke mulighet for å bruke tykkere tegn, kan man: a) Skrive inn hele teksten uten understrekninger. Ta en ekstra kopi av manuskriptet og marker uthevelsene der med understrekinger. Da scanner vi inn den første kopien, og bruker den andre som mal for uthevelser av tekst. b) Sette et markeringstegn (f.eks. tegnet understrek <<_» foran det første tegnet som skal understrekes, og sett samme markeringstegn etter det siste tegnet som skal utheves. Eksempel: « ... man ikke _tilfeldigvis_ har samme editor.» 2) Helst vil vi ha manus uten rettelser.

  • Greske Khariter Blant Bønder Og Fiskere
    Greske Khariter blant bønder og fiskere Antikkens tekster i Norge 1814 til i dag Simen Bøgh‐Tschudi Masteroppgave i historie ved Institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie Universitetet i Oslo Høsten 2018 1 Forord Først og fremst ønsker jeg å takke mine svært stoiske veiledere, hovedveileder Knut Ødegård og biveileder Tor Ivar Østmoe, som har holdt ut stadige utsettelser og krumspring. Deretter må jeg selvfølgelig takke respondentene mine, hvis uten denne oppgaven ikke ville vært mulig, i hvert fall i sin nåværende form. De vil bli videre introdusert i selve oppgaven, men for nå er ingen nevnt og ingen glemt. Mange av dem tok seg tid fra en travel hverdag for at jeg kunne komme å stille dem tidvis kritiske spørsmål om virket sitt, og det setter jeg stor pris på. Videre har jeg fått god hjelp av Erling Sandmo gjennom prosjektseminaret til å utforme sentrale deler av problemstillingen. John Peter Collett har også kommet med verdifulle innspill til kapittel 3. Simen Bøgh‐Tschudi Oslo 30.10.2018 2 Sammendrag Oppgaven forsøker å forklare utgivelsen og bruken av antikke tekster i Norge siden 1814 i en funksjonsanalyse. Basert på den akademiske retningen kalt resepsjonshistorie ønsker jeg å forklare hvordan tekster fra antikken har vært brukt til å legitimere ulike akademiske og politiske oppfatninger. Oppgaven vil videre ta for seg forholdet mellom disse tekstene og politisk og kulturell makt, og konflikten mellom et klassisk og nasjonalt syn på fortiden. Jeg vil også analysere disse tekstenes funksjon blant forleggere og oversettere i dag, basert på dybdeintervjuer av aktørene som jobber med disse tekstene, og en bibliografi over oversatte antikke tekster fra 1950 til i dag.

  • Cicero and the Epicureans
    Among Friends: Cicero and the Epicureans by Nathan Gilbert A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto © Copyright by Nathan Gilbert 2015 ii Among Friends: Cicero and the Epicureans Nathan Gilbert Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto 2015 In my dissertation I explain Cicero’s philosophical works through an analysis of his epistolary interactions and literary rivalries with Roman Epicureans. I argue that this historical and intellectual context reveals how Cicero’s overt and consistent anti-Epicurean polemics constitute a fundamental organizing principle of his philosophical works; Epicureanism is the philosophical Other against which the dialogues define themselves. The first two chapters of my thesis reconstruct Cicero’s social and friendship networks of Roman Epicureans and literary rivals; to that end I offer a series of prosopographical charts designed to replace the now dated Prosopography of Roman Epicureans by Catherine Castner. The second half of my thesis uses this background to explain the development and recurring polemical goals of Cicero’s philosophical works. More specifically, the third chapter begins to build my larger claim that his epistolary interactions with Epicureans over the course of twenty years offered him the opportunity to hone his argumentative technique and experiment with various translations into Latin of Greek philosophical ideas. In my final two chapters I offer the first comprehensive reading of Cicero’s exchange with Cassius in 46-45 BCE (Ad Fam. 15.16-19) and argue that these letters allow us to trace the development of individual arguments and polemical strategies in the dialogues of later that year, especially De Finibus I-II.

  • The Herculaneum Library: Some Recent Developments
    THE HERCULANEUM LIBRARY: SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The magnificent Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum, which lies to the north of the Roman town, was first discovered by tunnelling in the 18th century. The plan of it was made by the engineer Carl Weber, working under the direction of the Spaniard Roque A1cubierre under the direction of King Charles m. The papyri from the Villa were discovered between the years 1752 and 1754. The papyrus-rolls, each and everyone of them a literary text, consist of two kinds: a small but unique collection of Roman literature, and a much larger but equally unique philosophical library, which is, in my view rightly, considered to have been the personal library of Philodemus. The recovery of this library caused enormous excitement during the Enlightenment, which was replaced by terrible disappointment once it became clear that these were 'only' philosophical texts, which had been badly damaged and were legible only with the greatest difficulty and only in part. They have remained harder to study than any other papyri which survive, which is one reason why it has taken scholars up to two centuries to produce reliable texts of many of them. It is now clear that the papyri were preserved by a pyroclastic flow of superheated gas, steam and mud, which, in a few instants, swept over the town some hours after the eruption had started, burying it in material which turned to the soft rock called tufa, and . killing instantly the hundreds of people hiding in the arcades by the harbour. Any material containing carbon was carboni sed without being entirely burned, at a temperature of 300-320 degrees Celsius.
