Born at the dawn of the eventful sixteenth century, the Cinquecento of star- tling transatlantic discoveries, ceaseless Italian Wars, the vociferous emergence of the Protestant Reformation, and the unrelenting Ottoman advance into European territory, Nikolaos Loukanes, like so many of his erudite compatriots residing in flourishing cities in the West (e.g. Ianos Laskares and Markos Moussouros), ap- pears to have ardently devoted himself to humanist intellectual endeavors aimed at instigating a revival of classical literature, while at the same time responding to an unremitting longing to keep alive in the hearts of his fellow Greeks the empowering legacy of their illustrious ancestors.. This was an exceptionally vibrant period both intellectually and editorially, remembered today for ushering in a growing appreciation of the aesthetic and expressive potential of, until that point, predominantly undervalued vernacular languages. It was also an era of profound ideological ferment that gradually cul- minated in the precocious conceptualization of national identity in Europe. The present chapter is an attempt to delineate Loukanes’ s fascinating per- sonal and scholarly trajectory, from his early, formative years as a student at the “Gymnasium Mediceum ad Caballinum Montem”1 in Rome to the year of his- 1. For more information regarding the Gymnasium, see V. Fanelli, «Il ginnasio Greco di Leone X a Roma», Studi romani 9 (1961), 379-393; S. Pagliaroli, «Giano Lascari e il ginnasio Greco», Studi medievali e umanistici 2 (2004), 215-293. 560 CALLIOPE DOUROU publication of the Iliad (1526) in Venice, subsequent to which the author’ s name sinks into obscurity. Reconstructing the life of a lesser-known author on the basis of extant archival records is an arduous, yet thoroughly rewarding process. Dur- ing a short, two-month stint in 2014 at the Istituto Ellenico di Studi Bizantini e Postbizantini di Venezia, generously funded by a Charles P. Chegal Student Research and Travel Fellowship, I was glad to discover a manuscript note on a flyleaf of Vat. Barb. gr. 239 which adds clarity to Loukanes’ s biography, evi- dence on which is otherwise scarce. Beyond offering a brief glimpse into Loukanes’ s life, this article will shed considerable light on the better documented political and cultural outlook of the post-Byzantine dotti who played so vital a role in the author’ s intellectual growth from the very outset of his educational experience. Deeply steeped in the classical Greek tradition and gravely concerned about the alarming and seemingly unre- strainable expansion of the Ottoman Empire in the West during the first quarter of the sixteenth century, scholars such as Ianos Laskares and Markos Moussouros wholeheartedly devoted their lives to the cause of Greek liberation, as their numerous fervent appeals for a crusade against the inveterate enemies of Chris- tianity, the Ottomans, amply testify. Analogous was the patriotic zeal of distin- guished printers of Greek texts, like Zacharias Kallierges, Loukanes’ s teacher at the “Gymnasium Caballini montis” who pioneered the establishment of printing presses exclusively dedicated to the printing of Greek books. It is only by giving due consideration to their visions and worries, as well as those of Loukanes’ s fellow-students at the Gymnasium, like Nikolaos Sophianos, that we can develop a more nuanced understanding of the author’ s cosmos: a world of looming uncer- tainty and political unrest, but also a world redolent with the enchanting scent of the artistic achievements of the Renaissance. As mentioned above, information about Loukanes’ s life and activities is scant. Thanks to a very important discovery made by Manoussos Manousakas in 1963,2 2. M.

  • Nikolaos Loukanes's 1526 Iliad and the Unprosodic New Trojans
    chapter 11 The Longs and Shorts of an Emergent Nation: Nikolaos Loukanes’s 1526 Iliad and the Unprosodic New Trojans Calliope Dourou According to Milman Parry’s seminal definition, the formula in the Homeric poems is “a group of words which is regularly employed under the same met- rical conditions to express a given essential idea”.1 When analysing, in partic- ular, the intricate set of rules underlying the noun-epithet formulae for the Achaeans,2 the eminent philologist spares no effort in elaborately explaining how phrases such as ἐυκνήμιδας Ἀχαιούς or κάρη κομόωντας Ἀχαιούς are regular- ly employed in the Homeric corpus because they fit the metrical needs of the dactylic hexameter. Perusing, however, Nikolaos Loukanes’s 1526 intriguing ad- aptation of the Iliad and paying close attention to the fixed epithets allotted by him to the Achaeans and the Trojans, we are faced with a distinctly dissimilar system of nomenclature, conditioned primarily not by any prosody-related ex- igencies, but rather by a proto-national sense of pride in the accomplishments of the gallant forefathers and by a concurrent, profound antipathy towards the people that came to be viewed as the New Trojans, the Turks.3 1 Loukanes and His Intellectual and Historical Context Born at the dawn of the eventful sixteenth century, the Cinquecento of the startling transatlantic discoveries, the ceaseless Italian Wars, the vociferous emergence of the Protestant Reformation, and the unrelenting Ottoman ad- vance into European territory, Nikolaos Loukanes, like so many of his erudite compatriots residing in flourishing cities in the West, appears to have ardently 1 Parry (1971: 272).

XXX + 695 pp. ISBN 978‒2‒503‒55483‒9. 1 Luigi Ferreri’s study on Marcus Musurus is certainly not intended for students broaching the topic of Renaissance Humanism for the first time. The breadth and depth of this project ― not to speak of the toil and accuracy with which it was put together ― make this an impeccable piece of scholarship: one that exhaustively sheds light on the complex mechanisms of late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century humanist discourse and that establishes the scholarly coordinates of this understudied editor, copyist, translator, educator, book collector, and poet. 2 In his introduction, Ferreri spells out the methodological framework that characterized his research. The author immediately delineates the philological and historical cruces that have hitherto plagued scholarship on Musurus and on the humanist milieus in which he operated.

Musurus asks pope Leo X to found a Greek academy in Rome and start a crusade against the Ottoman empire to liberate Greece. The article includes the first English translation of the entire poem since Roscoe (1805). Key words Musurus, Greek academy, Plato, Homer, crusades The year 1513 is probably most famous for the accession of the Medici pope Leo X. However, it also saw the publication of the first edition of the complete works of Plato in Greek. This edition, printed by the press of Aldus Manutius in Venice, was accompanied by a dedicatory poem, about which the contemporary historian Paolo Giovio made the flattering remark: (sc. poema) commendatione publica cum antiquis elegantia comparandum.2 The poem, written by Marcus Musurus, is indeed a remarkable literary achievement. Although it is often referred to in modern scholarship in the context of the history of Greek humanism, it has never been treated in depth.3 1 We would like to thank the anonymous referee of Akroterion, Philip Mitsis (New York University), Leslie Pierce (New York University) and in particular Han Lamers (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) for their remarks and suggestions.

  • Gennadeion Notes, Ii
    GENNADEION NOTES, II INCUNABULA IN THE GENNADIUS LIBRARY Bata ue`v, aAAX&apAo6a JOHN Gennadius' interest in incunabula was strictly subordinated to the general program of his collection, and he made no effort to acquire books merely for their rarity or early date. As compared with, say, the five thousand or more " cradle- books " in the Huntington Library, our holdings are very modest indeed. Never- theless, a recent survey made for inclusion in the forthcoming Third Census of Incuna- bula in American Libraries-we were not represented in the 1940 Census-revealed that our collection is, happily, somewhat larger than had been assumed, and demon- strated afresh (if this were needed) its high quality and distinctive interest. A detailed listing will be included in the projected catalogue of incunabula and of sixteenth- century editions of Greek classics in the Gennadeion. Meanwhile, a brief account of the collection, especially as it relates to classical studies, may be of interest to readers of Hesperia. The final tally now stands at sixty-two items,' of which three were not previously recorded in American ownership. The largest group, numbering twenty-seven, con- sists of editions or translations of classical Greek texts. Seventeen volumes relate in one way or another to Turkish affairs and the consequences of the Fall of Constanti- nople, nine are Renaissance Greek grammars or manuals (one of which, since it includes the work of two anlcient grammarians, iS also tabulated above), and the remaining ten are miscellaneous. Perhaps the most striking feature of the Gennadeion incunabula as a group is their superb condition.

  • The Modern Reception of Thucydides Katherine Harloe and Neville Morley
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01920-1 - Thucydides and the Modern World: Reception, Reinterpretation and Influence from the Renaissance to the Present Edited by Katherine Harloe and Neville Morley Excerpt More information chapter 1 Introduction: the modern reception of Thucydides Katherine Harloe and Neville Morley Reinhart Koselleck opens his classic discussion of historia magistra vitae and its fate in the modern era with an anecdote recounted by Friedrich von Raumer, who was secretary to the Prussian Chancellor in 1811: During counsel in Charlottenburg, Oelssen [Section Head in the Ministry of Finance] animatedly defended the preparation of a quantity of paper money so that debts could be paid. All argument to the contrary failing, I said with immense audacity (knowing my man): ‘But Privy Councillor, do you not remember that Thucydides tells of the evils that followed from the circulation of too much paper money in Athens?’ ‘This experience,’ he concurred, ‘is certainly of great importance’ – and in this way he allowed himself to be persuaded in order that he might retain the appearance of learning.1 The crucial point, as anyone familiar with the economic structures of clas- sical antiquity would know, is that Thucydides could have said no such thing, because paper money was unknown to the Athenians. For Kosel- leck, this episode encapsulates a particular moment in the development of the traditional conception of history as a source of lessons and exempla for the present, emphasising its power, its capacity for manipulation and its impending obsolescence: ‘Raumer placed his colleagues in a seemingly continuous sphere of experience, but one that he himself treated with irony.

  • History and Religion As Sources of Hellenic Identity in Late Byzantium and the Post-Byzantine Era
    genealogy Article History and Religion as Sources of Hellenic Identity in Late Byzantium and the Post-Byzantine Era Georgios Steiris Department of Philosophy, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 15703 Athens, Greece; [email protected] Received: 23 December 2019; Accepted: 22 January 2020; Published: 31 January 2020 Abstract: Recently, seminal publications highlighted the Romanitas of the Byzantines. However, it is not without importance that from the 12th century onwards the ethnonym Hellene (CEλλην) became progressively more popular. A number of influential intellectuals and political actors preferred the term Hellene to identify themselves, instead of the formal Roman (Rωµαῖo&) and the common Greek (Γραικó&). While I do not intend to challenge the prevalence of the Romanitas during the long Byzantine era, I suggest that we should reevaluate the emerging importance of Hellenitas in the shaping of collective and individual identities after the 12th century. From the 13th to the 16th century, Byzantine scholars attempted to recreate a collective identity based on cultural and historical continuity and otherness. In this paper, I will seek to explore the ways Byzantine scholars of the Late Byzantine and Post Byzantine era, who lived in the territories of the Byzantine Empire and/or in Italy, perceived national identity, and to show that the shift towards Hellenitas started in the Greek-speaking East. Keywords: Romanitas; Hellenitas; Graecitas; Hellene; Greek; Byzantine Empire; identity; consciousness 1. Introduction The question of Modern Greek identity is certainly timely (Steiris et al. 2016, p. vii). Recently, the Greek Minister of Education Niki Kerameus stated that History in primary and secondary school curricula “should be aimed at shaping national consciousness” (https://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/ 2019/09/06/education-minister-history-textbooks/).

    Constantinus Lascaris Anthologicus An epigrammatic collection in Homerum in the Matritensis 4629 (Mt)1 Carlos A. MARTINS DE JESUS Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia CECH-Universidade de Coimbra [email protected] Recibido: 11-11-2013 Aceptado: 10-1-2014 ABSTRACT Our paper aims to take a closer look at a collection of epigrams extracted from the Planudean, one of the several epigrammatic collections that, as far as we know, have not yet received the independent and particular attention we think it deserves. They are 26 epigrams on Homer and his two main poems copied in Matr. 4629 (ff. 177v- 180r = Mt), twelve of them once again copied in Matr. 4562 (ff. 110r-111r = M), whose possible manuscript sources are to be investigated, as well as the possible connections to the editio princeps of the Planudea (1494). Keywords: Greek Anthology, Planudean Anthology, Constantinus Lascaris, Homer, manuscripts. RESUMEN Nuestro trabajo intenta realizar un estudio más detallado de una colección de epigramas de la Antologia Planu- dea que, por lo que sabemos, no ha recibido todavía la atención que, creemos, merece. Se trata de 26 epigramas sobre Homero y sus dos poemas, copiados en el Matr. 4629 (ff. 177v-180r =Mt), de los cuales 12 aparecen también copiados en el Matr. 4562 (ff. 110r-111r = M). Se plantearán posibilidades en cuanto a sus fuentes manuscritas, así como sus posibles relaciones con la editio princeps de la Planudea (1494). Palabras clave: Antología Griega, Antología de Planudes (Planudea), Constantino Láscaris, Homero, ma- nuscritos. During the last decades the reinterpretation of the sources of the Planudean Anthology, especially by the examination of its syllogae minores copied in several recentiores manuscripts, as well as the study of their relations to larger manuscript sources has been a subject to which many pages were devoted.

VIlLI (K), had a central role in the transmission of the text of Lysias. 1 The contents of the twelfth-century codex Pal. gr. 88 (X), the best witness to the corpus Lysiacum and a primary witness to other minor Attic orators, can be recognized in K. K in turn can be shown to have been owned by Marcus M usurus (t 1517), perhaps Greece's most talented classical scholar~ Musurus was preeminent among the Aldine scholars, and close inspection of the editio princeps of Lysias, Oratores Graeci, published by the Aldine press in 1513, will reveal K as its primary source for Lysias. I hope to show too that K was written for Musurus as part of a matched set with Marc. gr. VIII.6 (L), whose ancestor is the other primary witness to the minor Attic orators, Burney 95 (A). We shall see too that Dionysius of Halicarnassus' Lysias reached K from Woif. 902 (a descendant of Laur. 59.15), and that K is there­ fore a non-identical twin to a lost codex belonging to Cardinal Do­ menico Grimani (tI523). I. Pal. gr. 88 (X) and Its Descendants Of the 425 orations attributed to Lysias in antiquity only thirty-one have survived.2 These have been transmitted through two indepen­ dent traditions: the first two orations probably were part of a rhetori­ cal anthology (similar to Burney 95) that contained orations of Dema­ des, Antisthenes, Alcidamas, and Gorgias; and all thirty-one have been transmitted through Pal.
