Ricognizioni scritturistiche I-II. Antico e Nuovo Testamento

Abstract: I contributi raccolti in questa silloge si propongono di ripercorrere le traiettorie concettuali e culturali individuabili mediante un approccio filologico a libri tra i più noti e frequentati della civiltà occidentale, ma anche tra i più soggetti a condizionamenti e precomprensioni. I testi sono presentati come “ricognizioni” nel senso letterale della parola: il tempo che è trascorso dalla prima stesura di gran parte di essi e i progressi compiuti nel frattempo dalla disciplina permettono di riproporli come esempio di approccio ai libri biblici in prospettiva filologica e come spunto metodologico che contribuisca a porre domande nuove intorno a temi e problemi sui quali soltanto in apparenza sembra che sia stato detto tutto.

Nel primo tomo, i primi tre saggi presentano i risultati di indagini di laboratorio sulla tradizione di libri dell’Antico Testamento, seguendo le linee di sviluppo nell’interpretazione e trasmissione individuabili tra le antiche versioni greche e latine. Il secondo gruppo di contributi comprende una serie di sondaggi su aspetti e problemi concernenti gli scritti del Nuovo Testamento, e in particolare: il problema della datazione degli scritti neotestamentari, il tema del rapporto tra questi scritti e il potere politico al tempo della loro redazione, la presenza in essi dell’elemento magico, l’analisi testuale di alcuni passi.

Le parabole della fonte L: Studio sulle parabole peculiari del vangelo di Luca

Dorota Hartman  

Editore: UniorPress

Collana: Bibbia e Letterature

Pagine: 232

Lingua: Italiano

NBN: http://nbn.depositolegale.it/urn:nbn:it:unina-22353

Abstract: Tra i vangeli canonici, il vangelo di Luca contiene il maggior numero di parabole, molte delle quali non trovano corrispondenza negli altri vangeli sinottici. L’origine di queste parabole peculiari di Luca, alcune delle quali molto note ‒ come quelle del figlio prodigo e del buon Samaritano ‒ è da sempre dibattuta e, secondo alcuni, sarebbe da ricercare in una fonte sconosciuta, chiamata convenzionalmente L, cui Luca potrebbe aver attinto accanto ad altre fonti ‒ fra cui, in particolare,il vangelo di Marco e l’ipotetica fonte Q. Queste parabole presentano spesso tratti discordanti rispetto agli elementi distintivi della scrittura lucana, sia nel lessico che nei contenuti; ma allo stesso tempo includono temi cari a Luca, quali l’attenzione alla vita quotidiana, alla famiglia, alle relazioni tra padroni e servi, fra amici e nemici, al riscatto degli emarginati e delle categorie deboli, cui corrisponde la condanna per coloro che usano male la ricchezza o che non sentono di doversi curare del prossimo. Altro elemento caratteristico è la frequenza di personaggi moralmente ambigui o socialmente disprezzati, che vengono invece riabilitati, ponendo l’ascoltatore di fronte a un cambio di prospettiva e a una valutazione estremamente critica nei confronti d’intere categorie, come i ricchi e i rappresentanti del giudaismo farisaico. In questo studio sono passati in rassegna i principali punti di vista sulle parabole di Luca e l’ipotetica fonte L, di cui sono riesaminati temi, linguaggio e obiettivi e il modo in cui è stata elaborata dal terzo evangelista.

Researches in Cypriote History and Archaeology: Proceedings of the Meeting held in Florence April 29-30th 2009

Edited by:Anna Margherita Jasink, and Luca Bombardieri

Researches in Cypriote History and Archaeology collects the Proceedings of an international meeting held in Florence in April 2009. The title and the contributions disclose how the original planning of a workshop in Florence evolved in time. A report of the University of Florence research activity in the Kouris river valley has been initially planned; as soon as the idea of the meeting was advertised, it was found appropriate to enlarge the horizon and to include in the discussion further issues on Cypriote History, Archaeology and Philology. It will, thus, be seen that starting from the Kouris Valley a kind of small overview on Bronze and Iron Age Cyprus has been put together. A wide variety of themes and interests raised up during the meeting in Florence, as well as a positive esprit de collaboration which allowed to share new results of interesting researches in progress, open further possibilities of exchanges and lead us to hope for a new meeting dedicated to Cypriote History and Archaeology, to be planned in Tuscany in a next futur

Connecting Water: Environmental Views in Premodern Arabic Writings

Massimiliano Borroni    Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia

DOWNLOAD PDF 

abstract

This book investigates how selected writers from the Abbasid-era Islamic world viewed water as a crucial element within their worldview. By examining water’s role across diverse authors, Connecting Waters offers new insights into the various approaches to water and its importance in the natural environment, as described in Arabic sources from the Abbasid period. The study focuses on the significant works of Thabit ibn Qurra, whose research on seawater salinity and the role of mountains in precipitation phenomena laid the groundwork for future scholars in the field of hydrology. Through comprehensive analysis of these works and their reception by authors who either cited or concurred with Thabit ibn Qurra’s theories on the water cycle, the book explores a wide range of subjects, from theology to natural sciences and the sea’s role in sustaining global environmental equilibrium. By examining the consistency and diversity of Islamic views on water and the environment, the book seeks to challenge cultural stereotypes and offer novel insights into the Arabic literature of the premodern Islamic world. In light of current environmental challenges, this examination of water-related knowledge within the Islamic tradition could contribute to ongoing discussions about environmental ethics and the complex relationships between humans, societies, and the natural environment.

Stesicoro Ὁμηρικώτατος e i frammenti della Gerioneide: Testo, traduzione e note di commento

Elisabetta Pitotto - Università degli Studi di Torino, Italia - email
 

Abstract
Stesicoro Ὁμηρικώτατος e i frammenti della “Gerioneide” is a commented edition including Introduction, Critical Note, Critical Text and Translation, Commentary and Index locorum. The Introduction clarifies the methodological assumption on which the research is based: this study aims to rethink the relationship of the lyric poet with the presumed Homeric model, and to investigate the Stesichorean reception in Athens first under the Philaids, then in classical theatre and in Hellenistic and Virgilian poetry. The Critical Note explains the differences from the reference edition by Davies and Finglass under three different points of view: the distinction between fragmenta and fragmenta incertae sedis; the order of the reasonably placeable fragments; some specific textual choices. The Critical Text, with apparatus and translation, features fragments 8b F. (= S17), 9 F. (= 184 PMGF), 10 F. (= S8), 7 F. (= S16a), 13 F. (= S10), 17 F. (= S13), 15 F. (= S11 + S31), 18 F. (= S14), 19 F. (= S15 + S21) and 8a F. (= S17) under the heading Fragmenta, and fr. 5 F. (= S87), 6 F. (= S86), 21 F. (= S85), 22a F. (= S19) and 22b F. under the heading Fragmenta incertae sedis. The Commentary is divided into 72 notes, grouped fragment by fragment: the first note for each fragment discusses its placement within the poem, its content and its characters; the following ones deal with its main textual and exegetical problems. Cross references within the notes, or between a given note and the Introduction, allow a more unitarian understanding of recurrent themes such as Stesichorus’ relation with Homer, tragedy and Hellenistic poetry, the Stesichorean tendency to redundare and effundi, the personal reworking on Homeric diction and the possible existence of an idiomatic formularity. The book is completed by a Bibliography of critical editions, commented editions and translations and of other studies, and by an Index locorum.

The Broken Body: Constructing and Deconstructing the Human Figure in the Egyptian Funerary Tradition

Francesca Iannarilli - Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia - email

Abstract
This book is focused on the anthropologically and historically complex subject of the body in ancient Egypt, with particular emphasis on the so-called ‘funerary literature’ and, more specifically, on the corpus of the Pyramid Texts and its ‘mutilated’ anthropomorphic determinatives. In this perspective, it was necessary to establish a framework for the perception and formal elaboration of the social, political, living, and dead body in iconographic and textual sources, in order to provide an emic basis to start from. Particular attention was paid to the ‘broken body’, understood not only as the physical body but also as its iconographical or material representation, sometimes mutilated, decapitated, treated and manipulated in different ways and contexts. Thus, a deductive process has been carried out, starting from the general and arriving at the particular, to propose some suggestions for a long-debated but still unsolved phenomenon. We thus arrive at the practice of mutilation, or partialisation of the body, which is still scarce in archaeological contexts, but more abundant in iconography and hieroglyphics, as a deliberate, reasoned and motivated work of construction and deconstruction of the human body and its representation. The work will have served its purpose if it succeeds in stimulating new reflections and more in-depth studies of the subject, or at least in throwing a glimmer of light on the shadows that Egyptian thought still ‘casts on the walls of the cave’.

Symbols and monograms on Nomisma.org

Symbols and monograms on Nomisma.org

Several years ago, the Nomisma scientific committee made a decision to create a new namespace in which we would publish URIs for symbols that appear on coins (including monograms): http://nomisma.org/symbol/.

Only recently have symbols been added into this namespace, primarily religious symbols that appear on Medieval coinage. At present, these symbols link to SVG graphics hosted by the Wikimedia foundation. By the end of the year, there will likely be thousands of Greek monograms added into Nomisma, disambiguated from identical glyphs between across the Hellenistic Royal Coinages (HRC) and Corpus Nummorum typologies. This is especially important since the same monograms in PELLA, Seleucid Coins Online, and Ptolemaic Coins Online are not interlinked, even when not factoring in the integration of a project external to the HRC umbrella.

The Nomisma.org browse page now includes a new filter for Concept Scheme, enabling users to sort between only those in the /id/ namespace and the /symbol/ namespace. If the /symbol/ namespace is selected in the query, additional query options become available.

Adjacent to the pagination buttons are buttons that enable changing the view from the typical list layout to a grid, which is better for perusing the symbol graphics. Additionally, it is possible to filter monograms by constituent letters, much like in the symbol interfaces in Hellenistic Royal Coinages. A user can select one or more letters, whether Latin, Greek, or another script, to filter the monograms to those containing those letters. The perceived letters are, of course, somewhat subjective based on the specialist who undertook the work of manually itemizing them.

At present, only 2 of the 13 symbols published in Nomisma are monograms (chi-rho and tau-rho Christograms), so there is a very limited range of available letters for filtering. That will change once Greek monograms are added into the Nomisma namespace.

 

Extensions for displaying symbols in Nomisma.org browse page

Once these symbols are connected to typologies integrated as Linked Open Data into the Nomisma SPARQL endpoint, I will be able to generate lists of relevant types and maps depicting the mints, findspots, and hoards associated with them, which will create a more complete picture of their distribution over time and space, a more significant advancement in data visualization as compared to the relative silos of the HRC sub-projects.

The Necessary Anomaly: Dangerous Women, Ideology of the Polis and Gynecophobia in Athens

Marcella Farioli - Université Paris-Est Créteil, France - email

Abstract
In Classical Athens, representations of dangerous female figures are innumerable: warriors, filicides, husband-killers, wicked stepmothers, poisoners, seductresses, sorceresses, maidens who refuse marriage, maenads and monsters with female faces pervade theatre, historiography, orations and images. Many of these figures, whose victims are almost always men, are not attested in the sources of the archaic age, or else they appear but their wickedness worsens in the transition to the classical age: a trajectory that is not activated for figures of dangerous men. In the same period, which corresponds to the birth and development of democracy in Athens, philosophy, medicine and biology trace the contours of ‘female nature’ and codify its inferiority and dangerousness on a scientific basis. This study, through a vast corpus of literary, iconographic and epigraphic sources, examines the physiognomy and evolution of around sixty figures of dangerous women drawn from myth, history and pseudo-history, in relation to the contemporary political and social context and the changing forms of marriage, inheritance and dowry. In the face of the tendency in recent studies to obscure the relations of domination between social groups, emphasising the symbolic and identity aspects and culturising the causes, this study aims to focus on the material roots underlying the relations between the sexes and the ideology that sanctions their inequality. The gynophobia aroused by representations of dangerous female figures, who escape their assigned social role, is thus analysed not as an emotion but in its function as an ideological device and naturalisation of social hierarchies in the context of the democratic polis.

Supplying the Roman Empire (LIMES XXV volume 4): Proceedings of the 25th International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies 4

Edited by Harry van Enckevort, Mark Driessen, Erik Graafstal, Tom Hazenberg, Tatiana Ivleva and Carol van Driel-Murray (eds) | 2024 
Paperback ISBN: 9789464262841 | Hardback ISBN: 9789464262858 | Imprint: Sidestone Press | Format: 210x280mm | 386 pp. | Language: English | 23 illus. (bw) | 157 illus. (fc) | Keywords: archaeology; Roman Empire; Roman frontiers; limes; Roman army; military supply and control; logistics; material culture | download cover | DOI: 10.59641/mm723py

This publication – Supplying the Roman Empire – is the fourth volume of the LIMES XXV’s congress proceedings and deals with various aspects of the supply and provisioning of the Roman empire, and the role of the Roman armies housed on its fringes herein. The result is a wide-ranging collection of papers dealing with topics such as: finds of organic material; riverine and maritime supply and security; militarily controlled mining; building material procurement and processing; agro-political schemes and water management; military material culture. The proceedings are all arranged around the original sessions, trying to create coherent thematical collections that make the vast output more accessible to generalists and specialists alike.

Frontiers are zones, or lines, of contact and coercion, of exchange and exclusion. As such they often express some of the most typical elements of the socio-political spaces that are defined by them. Spanning some 6,000 km along rivers, mountain ranges, artificial barriers and fringes of semi-desert, the frontiers of the Roman empire offer a wide variety of avenues and topics for a very diverse community of scholars. They are the central subject of the International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies (or just Limes Congress after the Latin word for ‘border’), organised every three years since 1949. This four-volume publication contains most of the papers presented at the 25th edition which was hosted by the municipality of Nijmegen in August 2022.
