His birth is put conjecturally in the year 1355 by Schultze/ since, dying in 1450, he was said by Georgius Trapezuntius to have lived almost one hundred years.^ Gennadius stated that in his youth Gemistus fled from his native land, Byzantium, and lived at the Turkish court, where he became intimate with the Jew, Elissaios.^ Alexandre's conjecture, followed by Schultze, as to the chronology of his depar- (% ture and return remains a mere guess.^ It is certain, however, that he lived in the Peloponnese many years before 1427, when the Prince of the Peloponnese gave him a castle and land at Phanarion, of which the document of conveyance has been preserved.^ It was during these years that he was the teacher of Bessarion, who retained through- out his life the deepest respect for him.^ Two letters from his hand written during this period on the defense and reformation of the Peloponnese have come down to us, one to Theodore and the other to the Emperor Emanuel.^ In two panegyrics delivered at his i death he is said to have been a judge.

  • Saturn As the “Sun of Night” in Ancient Near Eastern Tradition ∗
    Saturn as the “Sun of Night” in Ancient Near Eastern Tradition ∗ Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs – Seongnam (Korea) Peter James – London [This article tackles two issues in the “proto-astronomical” conception of the planet Saturn, first attested in Mesopotamia and followed by the Greeks and Hindus: the long-standing problem of Saturn’s baffling association with the Sun; and why Saturn was deemed to be “black”. After an extensive consideration of explanations offered from the 5th century to the 21st, as well as some new “thought experiments”, we suggest that Saturn’s connection with the Sun had its roots in the observations that Saturn’s course appears to be the steadiest one among the planets and that its synodic period – of all the planets – most closely resembles the length of the solar year. For the black colour attributed to Saturn we propose a solution which is partly lexical and partly observational (due to atmospheric effects). Finally, some thoughts are offered on the question why in Hellenistic times some considered the “mock sun” Phaethon of Greek myth to have been Saturn]. Keywords: Saturn, planets, Sun, planet colour. 1. INTRODUCTION Since the late 19th century scholars have been puzzled by a conspicuous peculiarity in the Babylonian nomenclature for the planet Saturn: a number of texts refer to Saturn as the “Sun” ( dutu/20 or Šamaš ), instead of its usual astronomical names Kayam ānu and mul UDU.IDIM. 1 This curious practice was in vogue during the period c. 750-612 BC 2 and is not known from earlier periods, with a single possible exception, discussed below.

Kelly A Thesis Submitted to the National University of Ireland, Galway in the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics September 2016 Supervisor: Prof. Michael Clarke ii Preface This work explores ancient views of cosmogony and the material structure of the universe in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In particular it focuses on the way in which Ovid problematizes how we define myth and poetry versus science and philosophy. It examines how Ovid generates a parallel between the form and content of the text in order to depict a world where abstract scientific principles can become personified deities. This work will seek to reevaluate the impact of Greek Philosophy on Roman poetry through extending the series of intertexts which we may observe Ovid alluding to. Through following and analysing these sets of allusions this work will seek to gain an insight into Ovid’s depiction of the metatextual universe. iii iv For my Parents The scientist’s demand that nature shall be lawful is a demand for unity.

    A Written lower case as 'a, 'A' is first letter of English alphabet, also Greek (Alpha) and Hebrew (Aleph); originally in English as in Latin and Romanic tongues it is the sign for making the lowbackwide sound with jaws, pharynx, and lips open. Its prime position indicates importance of the sound, which has several meanings as an exclamation of wonder, approval, and worship. Ancient name of the Moon in several Near East cultures was "A" or kindred sounds and syllables, "Aa", "Ah", "Ai". "A" to Babylonians signified the Great Mother of the wise and "Akshara." Greek myth regarded "A" as the beginning of birth and creation, the entrance to the river Styx that wound about in the womb of the world, finally returning to Alpha. Aku, the Sumerian Moon, was also "the Measurer." The name "Abram" or "Abraham" might have originated as a combining of the Moon (Ab), Sun (ra) and Mercury (ram or raham). The letter has other uses as a word, as an indefinite article ("a bird"), in Latin languages, as an article and also as a preposition ("to" and "by")and feminine ending ("femina"); pragmatic uses as a vowel and word and exclamation in communication are thus known; ultimate significance is unknown, as, e.g., whether all languages must utter the full Asound in a certain range of frequencies or whether the sound preponderates in sacred utterance, etc. aa Form of lava which solidifies as a mass of blocklike fragments with a rough surface. Also called block lava. Aar Gorge A 1.6 kmlong cut through a limestone ridge near Meiringen, Switzerland, carrying the torrent of the Aar River that arises from the Aar Glacier.
