    The literary excursus of Velleius Paterculus and the exaltation of the italic contribution to the grandeur ofRome Federico RUSSO Universita di Pisa Resumen A partir de la lectura del excursus literario situado en los capítulos fmales del libro 1 de la obra de Velleio, se ha procurado analizar las características del parangón Grecia-Roma y de la paralela comparación Atenas-Roma, dos temáticas que asumen una gran importancia dentro de la ideología adoptada por el autor en su narración. La exaltación de Roma, y aún antes de Italia, bajo el perfil específico de la producción literaria, resulta ser perfectamente coherente con el planteamiento de fondo de toda la obra velleiana, capaz de exaltar la comuniónRoma - Italia. Abstract From a reading of the literary excursus found in the fmal chapters of book 1 of Velleius' work, 1 have sought to analyse the characteristics of the Greece - Rome comparison and of the similar Athens - Rome comparison, two themes that assume considerable importancein the ideology adopted by the author in bis narration. The exaltation ofRome, and earlier of ltaly, considered fromthe aspect of bis literary production, are perfectly coherent with the undercurrent of all of Velleius' work, eulogy oftheRome - ltaly communion. Palabras clave: Veleyo Patérculo, Roma. l. The excursus, which Ve lleius Paterculus dedicated to the Roman colonization fromthe Gallic disaster to the age ofHannibal (1, 14-16), suggests the possibility that, among his sources, the historianused an "philoitalic" tradition, one that was favourable to his own family background. This theory is further supported by the presence throughout the work of various moments that appear to derive from Flor.

H. Beck, 2016. 304 pp. €26.95. As a number of people have noticed, Neo-Latin as a discipline seems to have reached a crossroads. After a hiatus of almost forty years, during which the field was well served by Josef IJsewijn and Dirk Sacré’s Companion to Neo-Latin Studies (Leuven, 1977), three new handbooks have recently appeared in rapid succession: Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World, ed. Philip Ford, Jan Bloemendal, and Charles Fantazzi (Leiden, 2014); The Oxford Handbook of Neo- Latin, ed. Sarah Knight and Stefan Tilg (Oxford, 2015); and A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature, ed. Victoria Moul (Cambridge, 2017). At the same time, my “Recent Trends in Neo-Latin Studies,” Renaissance Quarterly 69 (2016): 617–29 appeared, signifying that Neo-Latin has received the same recognition that English, history, and German have in the journal of record for the period in which the greatest amount of Neo-Latin literature was produced.

Oosterhoff, University of Edinburgh, [email protected] Argument: Students entered Renaissance universities as apprentices in the craft of books. In the decades around 1500, such university training began to involve not only manuscript circulation, but also the production and the use of books in the new medium of print. Through their role in the crafting of books, I show how a circle of students around Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples gained the experience needed to become bookmen.

    The Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand manuscript fragment (MS L): New evidence concerning Luther, the poet, and Ottonian heritage by Timothy Blaine Price A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Irmengard Rauch, Chair Professor Thomas F. Shannon Professor John Lindow Spring 2010 The Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand manuscript fragment (MS L): New evidence concerning Luther, the poet, and Ottonian heritage © 2010 by Timothy Blaine Price Abstract The Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand manuscript fragment (MS L): New evidence concerning Luther, the poet, and Ottonian heritage by Timothy Blaine Price Doctor of Philosophy in German University of California, Berkeley Professor Irmengard Rauch, Chair Begun as an investigation of the linguistic and paleographic evidence on the Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand fragment, the dissertation encompasses three analyses spanning over a millennium of that manuscript’s existence. First, a direct analysis clarifies errors in the published transcription (4.2). The corrections result from digital imaging processes (2.3) which reveal scribal details that are otherwise invisible. A revised phylogenic tree (2.2) places MS L as the oldest extant Heliand document. Further buoying this are transcription corrections for all six Heliand manuscripts (4.1). Altogether, the corrections contrast with the Old High German Tatian’s Monotessaron (3.3), i.e. the poet’s assumed source text (3.1). In fact, digital analysis of MS L reveals a small detail (4.2) not present in the Tatian text, thus calling into question earlier presumptions about the location and timing of the Heliand’s creation (14.4).

  • 1 Textual Traditions Introductory Remarks by the Chapter Editor, Elisabet Göransson
    1 Textual traditions Introductory remarks by the chapter editor, Elisabet Göransson Textual criticism and the study of the transmission of texts is by and large depend- ent on writing and written sources. The development of literacy, from the oral trans- mission of texts to the development of written records, was a long process indeed, and it took place in various parts of the world. The earliest stages of writing were pictograms, used by the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Chinese, from which ideograph- ic or logographic writing, which expressed abstractions, was developed. Phonetic writing, in which symbols, phonograms, represent sounds rather than concepts, was then developed into syllabic and later into alphabetic writing. Early Sumerian literature and Egyptian literature, both extant from the late fourth millennium BC onwards, constitute the oldest literatures we know of. A wide range of literary texts – letters, hymns, and poems, but also autobiographical texts – were written in Egyp- tian hieroglyphs. A narrative Egyptian literature became common from the twenty- first century BC onwards (during the Middle Kingdom). The cursive shorthand known as the hieratic script gradually became more widely used, both for record- keeping and for correspondence. Later on, the demotic script was developed from the late Egyptian hieratic script for the same day-to-day uses, and finally the Egyp- tians settled on a revised form of the Greek alphabet, the Coptic alphabet, which simplified writing most decidedly. Similarly, cuneiform literature from the ancient Near East, preserved on mostly fragmentary clay tablets, consists of a large corpus of narrative and laudatory poetry, hymns, laments and prayers, fables, didactic and debate poems, proverbs, and songs (T.

  • Beatus Rhenanus
    MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER LIBRARY OF BEATUS RHENANUS (France) PART A – ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1 SUMMARY The books that made a man. A man who made books. What has become of the libraries of the great humanists, of Erasmus of Rotterdam, Guillaume Budé, Thomas More, Lefèvre d’Etaples or even of Pic de la Mirandole? Disappeared, dispersed … That of Beatus Rhenanus (1485–1547), “one of the greatest scholars of his time, alter ego of the prince of the humanists, Erasmus of Rotterdam”,1 a philologist ennobled by the Emperor and whose texts and translations were references throughout Europe, survives to modern times as a coherent whole of almost 1,700 documents, including 1,300 printed works. This collection is directly related to that of the famous Latin school of Sélestat and was used to educate men and shape minds. Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote in his “Praise of Sélestat” on this town and its school: “While other cities give birth only to men, you produce geniuses.” Among those geniuses was the young Beatus Rhenanus, a native of Sélestat, son of a rich butcher. A studious pupil at the Latin school, as a student Beatus became an assistant teacher at the school and used books left behind by former pupils for his work as a teacher. In 1503, he left Sélestat to study at the University of Paris, under the stewardship of Lefèvre d’Etaples. During these university studies, he collected course notes, exercise books and texts — which are now rare and priceless evidence of education in his time. As a student, he worked in the office of the printer Estienne as a corrector and used this income to expand his personal library.

    the Classical Tradition Quaritch 2021 B. Scalvini inv. A. Pasternack inc. ‘To read the Greek and Latin authors in their original is a sublime luxury... I thank on my knees, Him who directed my early education, for having put into my possession this rich source of delight; and I would not exchange it for anything which I could then have acquired’. Thus wrote Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Priestley. It was one of many manifest testimonials which, together with countless implicit quotations or references, a Founding Father owner of an exceptionally impressive library gave in celebration of his and his people’s Classical heritage. ‘The classical tradition is both so integrally and diffusely relevant to Western culture that much cultural development that seems unrelated to it is either implicated in it, even if (like Christianity) ultimately independent of it, or else arises, in significant part, out of it, even in reaction to it’ (The Classical Tradition: Art, Literature, Thought (2014), p. 248). Reflex, use, reconstitution, or response – the dialogue between modernity and the classical world, which began in the Renaissance, flourished in the early-modern era, and shaped the forming of America and modern Western societies, continues to enable our understanding of past and present.

Church discipline in this broad sense was intended to promote the individual Christian's progress in piety, to strengthen the church community, and to result in a Christian transformation of society.

  • 5 Balthasar Hubmaier's Use of the Church Fathers
    Balthasar Hubmaier’s Use of the Church Fathers: Availability, Access and Interaction ANDREW P. KLAGER* Abstract: While scholarship during the past half-century has provided insights into the reception of the Church fathers among the magisterial reformers, little attention has been given to Anabaptist attitudes toward the patristics. Yet Balthasar Hubmaier exhibited an impressive familiarity with the Church fathers, especially given his short-lived Anabaptist career and imposed itinerancy. The arrival of patristic manuscripts from Byzantium into Italy, where they were translated into Latin for a wider readership, expedited the preparation of monumental editions of the Church fathers, especially north of the Alps. Once in Hubmaier’s hands, these patristic sources functioned as historical and apologetical witnesses to the post-apostolic survival of doctrines such as believer’s baptism and the freedom of the will. Hubmaier embraced the fathers—in contrast to the scholastic theologians and papacy—for their faithfulness to Scripture and as co-affiliates within the one, universal Church to which he also belonged. In contrast to the scholarly attention devoted to the interaction of Renaissance humanists and magisterial reformers with the Church fathers, investigations into the reception of the fathers by Anabaptist leaders have been relatively sparse.1 Since 1961, when the eminent Renaissance scholar Paul Oskar Kristeller challenged historians to explore “whether or to what extent the newly diffused ideas of these Greek [Christian] authors exercised an influence on the theological discussions and controversies of the Reformation period,”2 numerous *Andrew P. Klager holds a Ph.D. in ecclesiastical history from the University of Glasgow and is currently a visiting scholar at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies, Elizabethtown, Pa.
