La poésie astrologique dans la littérature grecque et latine

Monteventi, Vanessa
Thumbnail
Durant de nombreuses années, la poésie astrologique grecque et latine n'est restée connue que d'un cercle restreint de spécialistes versés dans le domaine. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de proposer une vision d'ensemble de ces poèmes, en présentant tous les poèmes et fragments de poèmes astrologiques grecs et latins qui ont été conservés depuis la période hellénistique jusqu'à l'Antiquité tardive. Étant donné la forme métrique et le contenu technique de ces compositions, l'enjeu est de considérer l'interaction de ce corpus avec le genre de la poésie didactique, afin de mieux définir la place de ces poèmes astrologiques dans l'histoire littéraire gréco-latine.

La Renaissance de Tacite - Commenter les Histoires et les Annales au XVIe siècle

Bovier, Kevin
Thumbnail
Au XVIe siècle, les humanistes commentèrent pour la première fois les Histoires et les Annales de l’historien romain Tacite. L’objectif de cette étude est de montrer les intérêts et les méthodes de travail de ces commentateurs, ainsi que les stratégies qu’ils développaient pour faciliter l’accès du lectorat au texte antique. Comment les commentaires étaient-ils élaborés ? Pour quel public ? Ces travaux érudits ont-ils permis à Tacite de gagner le statut d’auteur majeur à la fin du XVIe siècle ? En répondant à ces questions et à d’autres encore, l’auteur tente de redéfinir la place de Tacite dans le mouvement humaniste du XVIe siècle et d’offrir de nouvelles perspectives sur la transmission et la réception de ses œuvres à la Renaissance.

The Theme of Love in the 'Romans d'Antiquité'

Jones, Rosemarie
Thumbnail
The group of romans antiques comprises the romans of Thèbes, Eneas, Troie and Alexandre, and the poems of Piramus et Tisbé and Narcisus. These works have two points in common: they all deal with material from Greek or Roman antiquity, and they all fall within the twelfth century. Jones studies the way in which the love theme has been treated in each of these works, the draws together the separate threads to see if it is possible to define a concept of love which may be common to all the romans antiques. This book, originally published in 1972 and later given the ISBN 978-1-905981-23-6, was made Open Access in 2024 as part of the MHRA Revivals programme.

Purity in Ancient Judaism: Texts, Contexts, and Concepts

Edited by Lutz Doering, Jörg Frey and Laura von Bartenwerffer 
Cover of 'undefined'
[Reinheit im antiken Judentum. Texte, Kontexte und Konzepte.]
2025. VIII, 427 pages.
forthcoming in February 2025
Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament (WUNT I) 528
DOI 10.1628/978-3-16-164165-7
Purity plays a central role in ancient Judaism. It is relevant in the encounter with the sacred, especially at the Jerusalem Temple, but also in the context of sacred communities, for example the Qumran yaḥad . Ancients Jews, however, also strove for purity far away from the Temple, both in the land of Israel remote from Jerusalem and in the Diaspora. Yet, means, procedures, and conceptualizations in relation to purity and purification varied. While purity therefore seems to be »everywhere« in ancient Judaism, it is not everywhere the same. The present volume explores different texts and material evidence in relation to purity, impurity, and purification, from both the historic land of Israel and the Diaspora. It adduces comparative evidence from Greece, probes and refines concepts of moral and ritual (im)purity, and traces the relevance of purity debates in nascent Christianity.
