The Eloquence of Publius Sulpicius Rufus and Gaius Aurelius Cotta in Cicero's Brutus
2018
The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the personalities of Publius Sulpicius Rufus and Gaius Aurelius Cotta, that illustrate the Roman eloquence at the beginning of the first century BC with particular regard to the wide section of the Ciceronian Brutus, the treatise in which they are protagonists of an intense confrontation in order to reflect on different styles of eloquence. On the other hand, a survey on the characteristics of their eloquence, conducted in the absence of direct evidence that provides objective feedback about their oratorical qualities, also makes possible to analyse the importance (and in some cases the indispensability) of Cicero’s opinion.
«Favor dotis» e singolari interpretazioni in tema di «ius singulare»
2018
This paper shows that the Roman law of dowry cannot be categorised as ius singulare, as Stagl believes, and that there is no evidence in our sources to support his opinion about the existence of a Gaius’ «didactic system» in law teaching. Even Stagl’s most recent attempt to affirm those ideas is based upon a misinterpretation of the Roman sources and is affected by methodological fallacies.
J.C. Maier – ein bereits bekannter Helfer Bluhmes bei der Transkription des Veroneser Codex Iustinianus
2018
J.C. Maier – a previously known aide to Bluhme in the transcription of the Veronese palimpsest of Justinian’s Code. This paper calls into question the idea that in the summer of 1823 Maier worked together with Bluhme at the decipherment of the palimpsest of Gaius’ Institutes preserved in the Capitular Library of Verona (Verona, B. Cap., Cod. XV). A comprehensive analysis of the sources leads to the conclusion that Maier helped Bluhme in the same library for the transcription of the palimpsest of Justinians’ Code (Verona, B. Cap., Cod. LX). – Keywords: Bluhme; Maier; Gaius’ Institutes; Verona, B. Cap., Cod. XV; Codex Iustinianus; Verona, B. Cap., Cod. LX; manuscript studies.
Studi sui commentarii 'istituzionali' di Gaio: formazione e natura del testo, vol. 01
2022
The only classical jurisprudential text to have come down to us, in its entirety, without the mediation and filter of the Justinian Digest, Gaius's commentaries from the famous Codex Veronensis no. 13 - commonly referred to as institutiones, but perhaps not by their author - present such characters and writing techniques as to be recognised as an isagogical text that the jurist-teacher must have composed (around the middle of the 2nd century AD, reigning Antoninus Pius) as a teaching aid intended to circulate exclusively among the circle of his students. The peculiarities of the compositional strategy suggest an original and direct Gaian authorship, freeing the work from a consolidated cons…
Per la datazione del palinsesto veronese delle Institutiones di Gaio (Verona, B. Cap., Cod. XV)
2015
In questo contributo è esaminata la questione della datazione del palinsesto delle Institutiones di Gaio (Verona, B. Cap., Cod. XV). Un confronto con altri manoscritti sicuramente realizzati nel VI secolo in onciale B-R mostra che questo genere di scrittura era peculiare dell'area bizantina in età giustinianea. La possibile obiezione contro una sua datazione all'età di Giustiniano è riconsiderata alla luce del fatto che le abbreviature nei testi giuridici della compilazione di Giustiniano furono ufficialmente vietate da questo imperatore solamente alla fine del 533 d.C. e che tale divieto entrò in vigore nella parte occidentale dell'impero romano solamente alcuni anni dopo. La conclusione p…
Wilhelm Studemund e il «martire illustre della paleografia»
2012
On the basis of unpublished manuscript materials – especially a letter from 22nd April, 1866 – this paper reconstructs some unknown aspects of the background and of the evaluation of Wilhelm Studemund’s apograph of the Institutes of Gaius published in 1874 and its Supplementa published in 1884. Particular attention is paid to the use of chemical substances for the decipherment of the Gaius’ palimpsest.
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres.. : -tutkimus Gaius Julius Caesarin Commentarii de bello Gallico -teoksen Gallia Transalpinan heimonimistä ja …
1999
Caesarin Gallian sota -teos toi aikalaistensa tietoisuuteen sen ajan mittapuun mukaan valtavan maa-alueen asukkaineen ja maantieteellisine nimistöineen, mikä tekeekin siitä erinomaisen lähteen nimistön tutkimukseen. Tutkimuksessani kartoitan Gallian sota -teoksessa esiintyvät Gallia Transalpinan heimonimet, paikkakunnan nimet, vesistöjen nimet ja muut maantieteelliset nimet, sekä tutkin näiden nimien säilyvyyttä nykynimistössä ja tekstikriittisesti epävarmojen nimien esiintyvyyttä. Caesar mainitsee Gallia Transalpinan alueelta 94 heimoa, 32 paikkakuntaa, 13 vesistöä ja kuusi muuta maantieteellistä nimeä. Näistä nimistä on säilynyt lähes 58% nykypäivään asti alueen nykyvaltioiden maantieteel…
