Kentron reste une revue du monde antique, mais prend une orientation plus nettement pluridisciplinaire, en ouvrant ses pages aux littéraires, philosophes, linguistes, historiens et archéologues. À partir du volume 25 (2009), la revue accueillera des contributions en langue étrangère (anglais, allemand, espagnol, italien, portugais) et les propositions d’articles seront soumises à son comité de lecture. La parution est annuelle. Les anciens numéros de la revue (à partir du volume 16 / 2000) seront consultables courant 2009 sur le site des Presses uni- versitaires de Caen ainsi que le sommaire, les comptes rendus et les résumés des articles du dernier numéro paru.

Pour- tant, si les Grecs ignoraient le mot « utopie », Platon n’en est pas moins fréquem- ment présenté comme l’ancêtre des utopistes, et un certain nombre d’ouvrages généraux consacrés à l’utopie font place au monde antique 1, pour lequel existe par ailleurs une assez abondante bibliographie spécifique : bien que l’Antiquité ne soit pas, dans l’histoire de la créativité utopique, une période « chaude » comme la Re- naissance ou le XVIIIe siècle, que l’on s’accorde à considérer comme l’âge d’or de l’utopie, elle offre à l’étude un matériau intéressant et varié. La multiplication des travaux sur l’utopie illustre la curiosité suscitée par

  • Latin Curse Texts: Mediterranean Tradition and Local Diversity
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the Academy's Library Acta Ant. Hung. 57, 2017, 57–82 DOI: 10.1556/068.2017.57.1.5 DANIELA URBANOVÁ LATIN CURSE TEXTS: MEDITERRANEAN TRADITION AND LOCAL DIVERSITY Summary: There are altogether about six hundred Latin curse texts, most of which are inscribed on lead tablets. The extant Latin defixiones are attested from the 2nd cent. BCE to the end of the 4th and begin- ning of the 5th century. However, the number of extant tablets is certainly not final, which is clear from the new findings in Mainz recently published by Blänsdorf (2012, 34 tablets),1 the evidence found in the fountain dedicated to Anna Perenna in Rome 2012, (26 tablets and other inscribed magical items),2 or the new findings in Pannonia (Barta 2009).3 The curse tablets were addressed exclusively to the supernatural powers, so their authors usually hid them very well to be banished from the eyes of mortals; not to speak of the randomness of the archaeological findings. Thus, it can be assumed that the preserved defixiones are only a fragment of the overall ancient production. Remarkable diversities in cursing practice can be found when comparing the preserved defixiones from particular provinces of the Roman Empire and their specific features, as this contribution wants to show. Key words: Curses with their language, formulas, and content representing a particular Mediterranean tradi- tion documented in Greek, Latin, Egyptian Coptic, as well as Oscan curse tablets, Latin curse tablets, curse tax- onomy, specific features of curse tablets from Italy, Africa, Britannia, northern provinces of the Roman Empire There are about 1600 defixiones known today from the entire ancient world dated from the 5th century BCE up to the 5th century CE, which makes a whole millennium.

  • Unpublished Conjectures at Leiden on the Greek Dramatists P
    Unpublished Conjectures at Leiden on the Greek Dramatists P. J. Finglass N THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY at Leiden there are many un- published autograph manuscripts and marginalia in printed editions which contain numerous conjectures on the Greek I 1 dramatists. In July 2007 and July 2008 I spent a total of ten days examining some of them. The results are presented in this article, which is divided into four parts: I, The conjectures themselves; II, An assessment of the consequences of this discovery; III, An investigation into why Valckenaer never published his extensive work on Sophocles; IV, The fate of other manuscripts on Greek drama written by Valckenaer and Pierson. I. The conjectures The manuscripts and marginalia present dozens of conjec- tures which anticipate the work of later scholars, or which have subsequently appeared in manuscripts uncollated at that time,2 1 The manuscripts are catalogued in [P. C. Molhuysen], Codices Biblio- thecae Publicae Latini (Codices Manuscripti III [Leiden 1912]: “BPL” in the manuscript shelfmarks) and online (see under http://ub.leidenuniv.nl/ collecties/bijzonder/ [checked 20th February 2009]). The online book cat- alogue (U–CAT) records whether a given volume has scholarly marginalia, and its author (for a given entry click on “Show” next to “Availability”). 2 Particular caution is required with this kind of anticipatory conjecture, since we cannot always tell which manuscripts were available to scholars at different times. For the value of this information cf. M. L. West, Textual Criticism and Editorial Technique applicable to Greek and Latin Texts (Stuttgart 1973) 87 n.13: “Conjectures that have been confirmed e.g.

Questo stesso simbolo giova molto anche all'episteme, perchè non bisogna trasferire nella scienza del divino nulla che sia un umano pensiero o una semplice preoccupazione mondana. Nient'altro dunque viene raccomandato nelle parole di questo simbolo se non che i discorsi sacri e le azioni divine non siano mescolati con l'instabile indole degli uomini.... "sacrifica e adora a piedi nudi" significa in primo luogo che bisogna rendere culto agli Dei in maniera onesta e misurata e senza andare al di là dell'ordine terrestre, e in secondo luogo che bisogna rendere Loro un culto e averne una conoscenza ben sciolti e liberi da ogni legame.
