Gli Anapesti di Plauto e di Seneca

2014

Greek Marschanapaste were first divided into dimeters by Alexandrian philologists. This division (that reflects a syntactical tendency) influenced Roman dramatists deeply. Plautus composed real anapaestic dimeters sometimes ordering them as a κατὰ στίχον series, sometimes (and more frequently) coupling them as septenarii or octonarii, but he did not compose κατὰ σύστηµα series (as scholars generally suppose) and most of these series are more conveniently interpreted as octonarii mixed with septenarii. Seneca’s anapaests should still be interpreted as dimeters mixed with monometers (the dimeters are marked off by hiatus and indifferens, while sinaphia strangely enough operates only within a …

Interdisziplinäre Grenzgänge bei Käte Hamburger: Zum Briefnachlass der Literaturwissenschaftlerin

2008

This article deals with the unpublished correspondence of the literary specialist Kate Hamburger (1896–1992), which is housed in the literary archive in Marbach, Germany. The correspondence of Hamburger, who is best known for her theoretical work The Logic of Literature, depicts the scholarly context as well as the personalities and public figures with whom she interchanged. The letters demonstrate that Kate Hamburger was widely admitted and acknowledged internationally, but at the same time reveal the problems she had to face as a scholar, female and Jewish, in the first half of the twentieth century. It was not until the end of the 1950s that her work, The Logic of Literature, was belated…

Apporti al testo dell' <i>Orestis tragoedia</i> di Draconzio nell' Ottocento

2005

The textual contributions – about an hundred – produced either in the critical editions of the Dracontius’ Orestis tragoedia from 1858 to 1883, or in the works of Rothmaler (1865), L. Mu.ller (1866) and Rossberg (1878 / 79 / 83), are often obvious, but they are cometimes advantage due to laudable attention and right reflections. Notwithstanding, because of the many wrong marked gaps, transpositions and corrections, no edition presents an acceptable text of the epyllion.

Sui rapporti fra il cosiddetto <i>Poema ultimum</i> (<i>CSEL</i> 30 Hartel) e il <i>Carmen ad senatorem</i> (<…

1999

An in-depth metrical and stylistic study of the so called Poema ultimum ( CSEL 30 Hartel) and of the Carmen ad senatorem ( CSEL 23 Peiper) wants to prove, against recent researches, that the two poems, even though they share the same formal choices and postulate on the thematic area, a direct conctat, are no doubt the works of two different poets. Such a close link, might be explained by the fact that the author of the p. ult. is the same person as the senator, whom the other poem is addressed to.

Praising through Intertext. On Jakob Liefer’s Literary Technique in the Neo-Latin Epic Bellum Sundense

2019

Praising through Intertext. On Jakob Liefer’s Literary Technique in the Neo‑Latin Epic Bellum SundenseThis paper examines Jakob Liefer’s (1571‑1655) method of composing a carmen novo modo, that is a combination of laus urbis, epic, and cento. It demonstrates how Liefer systematically employs allusions and citations to turn his account of the historic Margrave War (1308‑1317) into a praise of the city of Stralsund and its inhabitants. The analysis focuses on the work’s intertextual engagement with the characters and settings of Lucan’s Pharsalia and Vergil’s Aeneid. Liefer not only borrows from canonical texts to put Stralsund on the same exalted level as Massilia and Troy respectively, but …

Leonida Tonelli: A Biography

2011

This paper aims at going through the work by Leonida Tonelli, with a focus on the results he got in the fields of Real Analysis and Calculus of Variations, and put it within the socio-political context of his time. One of the most outstanding Italian analysts in the first half of twentieth century, first in Bologna and then in Pisa and Rome, Leonida Tonelli’s path combined elements of different, conflictual in some moment, relationships which featured at that time Italian mathematics and which linked the latter with Giovanni Gentile, the Fascism and the after-war “new”Italy.

Rodziny liturgiczne chrześcijańskiego Wschodu – panorama

2014

The life of the Eastern Churches and their liturgies still remain a deep well of undiscovered riches for many, their fertile and varied traditions are signposts indicating ways of being authentically Christian and truly catholic – in the full universal sense of that word. The return ad fontes liturgicos , called for by the Second Vatican Council, drew deeply from the wisdom of the ancient Churches, which were born – as indeed was the whole of Christianity – “in the East”; the research that was to follow, based on this essential insight, allowed many to reach that desired goal. That sense of dealing with the seamless and undivided garment of the tradition of the whole Church, allowed a compl…

Un-Pauline Paul? Philippians 2.6-11 in Context

2012

This article seeks to demonstrate (contra Geza Vermes and Ernst Lohmeyer) that Phil 2.6-11 is an integral part of the Letter to the Philippians as well as a natural part of the Corpus Paulinum, both linguistically and theologically. Essential vocabulary, phraseology, and themes in Phil 2.6-11 are compared with several other texts from Philippians, Romans, and Galatians.
