Libanio e Antiochia. La dedizione di un intellettuale alla sua città
2022
This contribution aims at demonstrating how the life of public speaker Libanius was devoted in toto to his city, Antioch of Syria, both as the official sophist of the same city and as professor of numerous generations of students. Lover of traditional paideia and guardian of the classical tradition, Libanius brings back to life in the fullest way the model of the Attic orator, of which Demosthenes had been the highest expression. Combativeness, talent and patriotism therefore unite the Athenian orator and the Antiochene one, and exposed them to the envy of their colleagues and to the consequent accusations of magic, of such a topical character that these allegations weren’t taken into accou…
Echi libaniani nell’attività normativa imperiale?
2020
The research proceeds along the lines of the conductive thread constituted by the illegal visits to the governors which are testified in Libanius’ speeches 50 and 51, addressed to the Emperor Theodosius: Libanius makes the request for a law aimed at forbidding the scandal of such visits intended for achieving completely illicit facilities. Libanius puts on the cloths of the loyal citizen who informs the emperor about the events concerning his subjects, letting it somehow leak how many influences, pressures and conditioning factors were which the representatives of the imperial power had to contend with.
La vocazione centripeta. Una divergenza ideologica tra Libanio e Temistio di fronte alla prospettiva costantinopolitana dei buleuti di Antiochia
2016
Questa ricerca è incentrata su due personaggi, Temistio e Libanio, che sono esempio di intellettuali orientati verso una prospettiva volta a cogliere i profili di interazione sociale che la loro attività letteraria seppe contemplare. Se i due sono assimilabili per formazione culturale e professione, restano tuttavia ben distinti l’uno dall’altro per tutte le altre rispettive scelte di vita: dal 354 d.C. Libanio si stabilisce definitivamente ad Antiochia, un anno prima di quello in cui Temistio viene nominato senatore di Costantinopoli, inaugurando di seguito la sua carriera di intellettuale organico. L’opera di Temistio e quella di Libanio sono, in realtà, due manifestazioni tra loro antipo…
Ε ΕΙΣ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΤΩΚΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΚΟΥΡΙΑ. Rapporto tra legislazione imperiale e decreti municipali (Libanio, Or. XLVI, 21)
2005
The work takes its starting point from Libanius, Or. 46, 21, in which the existence of a contribution paid by shopkeepers and intended for the sustenance of the poor is attested in 4th century AD Antioch. In the light of the comparative textual analysis of Julian's letter to Arsace and Libanius' speeches 2 and 46, it is hypothesised that the emperor had urged the Antiochians to request some measure that could take away the privilege of almsgiving from the Church. To the request, formally made to him by the Antiochians, he would have responded with that rescript whose content would be entrusted only to these few Libanian lines.
Storie di ordinaria corruzione. Libanio, Orazioni LVI, LVII, XLVI Introduzione, traduzione e commento storico
2010
Il volume mira a recuperare la dimensione storica e culturale del retore Libanio di Antiochia. Attraverso l'analisi interna e comparativa di tre discorsi, storicamente legati da un tema dominante, l'iniqua amministrazione del governo provinciale, e accomunati dal medesimo registro retorico, quello dello psogos, della denuncia pubblica e della condanna morale e politica di tre consulares Syriae, vengono documentate tutte una serie d trasformazioni: il passaggio da processo accusatorio a quello inquisitorio, la ferocia dell'interrogatorio sotto tortura, la diversificazione accentuata nel milieu curiale tra honorati e semplici buleuti, la concorrenza di un nuovo modello formativo, basato sul d…
Funzionamento del codice retorico e contenuti ideologici propri dell’autore: Libanio
2006
Through the internal analysis of Libanius of Antioch's Orations 46, 56 and 57, the work attempted to distinguish between the application and functioning of the rhetorical code and the author's own content, between rhetorical devices and ideological assumptions. The study of the density of rhetorical figures is the method of analysis used to verify the objectivity of the speaker's parrhesia
Elogio delle virtù nell’immagine politica di Giuliano in Libanio
2014
Libanius’ Julianic orations play an important role to move closer to knowledge of the interior portrait of this emperor. Julian’s personality is based on four virtues: philoponia, phronesis, philanthropia, sophrosyne. These virtues are panegyrical topoi in the eulogy of the rulers (Basilikos logos), and in the Libanian context they are freely reused, adapted to the present in order to return an image of Julian politically useful; all this doesn’t necessarily imply systematic distortion of the truth. In this connection, Julian’s political image is the exact opposite of the image of his predecessor: the reader is given the conviction that Constance, unlike Julian, would have achieved only a s…
Déchiffrement historique de l’écriture libanienne. À propos de Libanios, Discours 48 et 49
2016
The main theme, the direct relationship with the career of Libanius and the rhetorical common framework, unite at historical level the speeches 48 and 49. The evidence of these two speeches is of primary importance to know the institutional, legal, economic, and social situation in the second half of the 4th century A.D. Indeed, they document a series of transformations, or the appearance of new phenomena: the strong diversification of the curial class, and a broadening gap between the prôtoi and the mere bouleutai; the desertion of the boulai ; the rise in Antioch of new study subjects such as Latin and law. A twofold ideal can be inferred from these two Libanius’ speeches: on the one hand…
Expresiones proverbiales y comedia en la Declamación XXVI de Libanio
2016
Publicado en el monográfico dedicado a: ΕΥΠΟΙΚΙΛΟΝ ΑΝΘΟΣ. Estudios sobre teatro griego en homenaje a Antonio Melero [ES] La Declamación XXVI de Libanio muestra a un misántropo que no soporta los ruidos y se ha casado con una charlatana. El tema de la excesiva locuacidad tiene un amplio reflejo en los proverbios –presentes también en la comedia–, que el autor utiliza para dar vida a su discurso y para caracterizar a sus personajes. [EN] The Declamation XXVI by Libanius shows a misanthrope who does not support noises and is married with a talkative woman. The topic of the excessive talkativeness has a broad reflection in proverbs –also present in the comedy–, which the author uses to breathe …
La legge crudele. L’amministrazione della giustizia di Roma nel IV secolo d.C. tra amplificazione e realtà
2013
Realism and accuracy of the testimony by the rhetor Libanius of Antioch on the arbitrary administration of justice by the governors of Syriac metropolis impress the mark of cruelty upon the judicial practice of the time. The study of the criminal justice system leads to a sociological analysis, although the juridical and social status was losing importance in light of the gravity of the crimen.
