The notes on the Gottingische gelehrte Anzeigen are supplementary to those which have already appeared. Readers will especially welcome the reappearance of the Musee Beige after the destruction of its plant and stock in the fire of Lou vain.

In the modern versions of the Herodotean story, unlike the ancient ones, the central figure has become Gyges instead of Candaules. W. A. Heidel, Why were the Jews banished from Italy in 19 A.V. ?

L. Ramsay, The Latin Text of the Paris Psalter. A Collation and some Conclusions. Thorpe's Latin text 1835 is untrustworthy. Athenaeum (Pavia). vm. 2. 1920. Marco Galdi constructs a lurid picture, generalizing from hints in the fragments of the Satires of Lucilius, of the depravity and degeneracy of Roman womanhood in the late Republican era. Henrica Malcovati analyzes the three views held as to the fragments of letters attributed to Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi, that they are (a) genuine, (h) a forgery, (c) part of a rhetorical exercise. She defends the theory of the forgery on the grounds that their political bias is directly opposed to what is known of Cornelia's party-leanings and of her relations to her sons and her character. She believes, however, that there were genuine letters in existence, which are alluded to in Cic. Brut. 58, 211, and which have been lost. Teresa Comotti disputes Lachmann's interpretation of 'tres libelli' in the distich of Propertius II. 12, 25, and the divisions based on it. Sees in tres only an indication of smallness, still common in vulgar parlance (cf. Catullus 'si tria notorum sauia reppererit,' and Suetonius Gram, 109, etc.), and cites usages of ' libelli' for ' elegies,' rather than volumes or divisions. ' Tres libelli' is thus equal to ' poche elegie,' and Lachmann's divisions fall to the ground. The Editor, C. Pascal, gives two meanings of inuolare, 'fly aloft' and ' steal.' In the latter sense the word is in common use in early Christian writers, in modern Italian (involare) and in mediaeval French (embler). Ancient and modern etymologists fell into the easy explanation of ttolare ' fly' leading to uolare ' make fly,' i.e. ' steal.' But the Latin uola means the hollow of the hand. French voter and Italian involare mean ' hide in the hollow of the hand,' and P. quotes several glossaries showing this sense. In the common languages the two meanings remained distinct. For the derivation of uola P. prefers the connexion with Gr. «?AAa>, Att. ct'Ad). The same root supplies Lat. uoluo, uolumen, Gr. elXvo), eiXvpa. Compares also uola= KOIXOV TTOSOS (Corp. Gloss. Lat. II. 525, 13). VIII. 3. 1920. F. Guglielmino explains or amends several passages in the' Phormio (491, 502-3, 508, 517, 518-19, 525-6). In 502-3 he retains the neqtte on which all the codices are agreed, and takes alia in sense of' less serious,' thus explaining away an apparent contradiction which has led Dziatzko to excise the two lines as spurious. S. Sabba- dini, on Hor. Sat. I. 9, 69 tricesima sabbata, makes some interesting comments on Hebraic festivals in Rome, and refers the tricesima to the day of the month, pointing out the difficulty of fitting in the thirtieth Sabbath with the Jewish calendar. This sense would indicate the expiatory season of the new moon. S. concludes that the two words should be separated by a comma. Horace and Aristius, the latter as some have suggested being a proselyte to Judaism, walking in the Hebrew quarter, observe signs of a double festival, the new moon (trietsima dies) and the Sabbath (sabbata). C. Pascal quoting from a poem by Politian, written in i486, shows that he was familiar with details ot a life of Lucretius hitherto only known as being prefixed to an edition published in 1492 (now in the British Museum). Hence P. concludes that there is more reason than before to infer that this life was drawn from ancient authorities and not merely concocted by Renascence scholars. The most important article in this number is by A. Barriera, who has discovered in the miscellaneous collection of Latin works in Vat. Reg. 1587 the second 'codex vetus Danielis' believed to have been lost, and containing the Cato Maior. It dates from the eleventh century, found its way to Rome after wandering from France to Sweden, and is free from certain interpolations well known in L, V and P, and some that have forced their way into all the good MSS. B. proposes to publish his collation of the MS. (to be called D) in his edition of the dialogue for the Corpus Paravianum. SUMMARIES OF PERIODICALS 197 Berliner philologische Woehensehrift. 1920.

  • Louise Adams Holland 1893-1990
    Louise Adams Holland 1893-1990 By Marian H. Macalister Philologist by profession, teacher by occupation, and archaeologist in method, Louise Elizabeth Whetenhall Adams was a topographer at heart.1 Louise Adams was born in Brooklyn, New York, July 3, 1893, the third child but first daughter of six children. Her grandfather, Williams Adams, from a Virginia family, had spent some time in Cuba where he had been instrumental in the introduction of gas lighting. While there he met and married Carmen Michelena y Rojas, a Venezuelan of Basque ancestry, whose brothers held various government positions in Venezuela. When his affairs brought him to the New York area, William Adams chose to build a house in the then more cosmopolitan community of Brooklyn, since his wife, who had been educated in France, was uncomfortable speaking English. Louise’s father, Charles Frederick Adams, was born in Cuba and learned Spanish as his first language; although he and his brother were sent to school in New York, he used Spanish for counting throughout his life. He became a member of a law firm in New York City and had an amateur interest in astronomy, which he passed on to his daughter. 2 Louise’s mother, Henrietta Rozier, came from a Maryland family and was “born within the sound of the guns” of the Civil War. She probably had little formal education other than that expected for young ladies at the time. Her interests were principally in homemaking. As a widow she moved to a house in the Ramapo Hills on the southern border of New York, where she raised her own vegetables and became very knowledgeable about wild plants that could be used for food.

  • History and Science in Tenney Frank's Scholarship
    HISTORY AND SCIENCE IN TENNEY FRANK’S SCHOLARSHIP E. CHRISTIAN KOPFF enney Frank (1876–1939) was born on a farm near Clay Center, Kansas. His father was a fi rst-generation immigrant from Sweden and his mother Tthe daughter of a Swedish immigrant. His early life was shaped by the double discipline of life on a small family farm and a strict religious upbringing. He told his student, Robert Broughton, that Sunday reading “was restricted to the Bible and the Lives of the Saints, in Swedish, which was the language of the household.”1 After his death, his friend Norman W. DeWitt recalled, “It seemed to him a precious personal asset that he had been permitted to grow up in a genuinely American small town and rural community, where pioneer standards of conduct continued strong. In the course of time the conviction grew upon him also that some experience of farm life is essential to historians, especially historians of Greece and Rome, dealing, as they must, with countries and races whose economy in the main was agricultural.”2 Frank might have been pleased that at the end of the twentieth century a classicist who was also a farmer published an agricultural interpretation of the birth and growth of Western civilization, Victor Davis Hanson’s The Other Greeks.3 In 1890 the economic turmoil of the period led to the loss of the family farm. The family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where his father worked in the stockyards, as did Tenney when school was not in session. In school an exciting and theatrical teacher of German origin named von Minckwitz encouraged young Tenney and excited him about classical studies.
