Between Grammar and Rhetoric
Dionysius of Halicarnassus has long been regarded as a rather mediocre critic. This book rehabilitates the Greek rhetorician by demonstrating the creative ways in which he integrated theories from different linguistic disciplines into a coherent programme of rhetoric.
From Josephus to Yosippon and Beyond
Two millennia ago, the Jewish priest-turned-general Flavius Josephus, captured by the emperor Vespasian in the middle of the Roman-Jewish War (66–70 CE), spent the last decades of his life in Rome writing several historiographical works in Greek. Josephus was eagerly read and used by Christian thinkers, but eventually his writings became the basis for the early-10th century Hebrew text called Sefer Yosippon, reintegrating Josephus into the Jewish tradition. This volume marks the first edited collection to be dedicated to the study of Josephus, Yosippon, and their reception histories. Consisting of critical inquiries into one or both of these texts and their afterlives, the essays in this volume pave the way for future research on the Josephan tradition in Greek, Latin, Hebrew and beyond.
Art, Craft, and Theology in Fourth-century Christian Authors
Art, Craft, and Theology in Fourth-Century Christian Authors analyses Christian Greek literature in the fourth century in order to emphasise the style, ingenuity, and craftsmanship demonstrated by the authors of such texts. It considers the way these 'wordsmiths' used classical literature techniques to strengthen their theological writings.
Gift and Gain
Gift and Gain: How Money Transformed Ancient Rome shows how, over the course of Rome's classical era, a vibrant commercial culture progressively displaced traditional systems of gift giving that had long been central to Rome's material, social, and political economy, with effects on areas of life from marriage to politics.
Orality and Performance in Classical Attic Prose
This study discusses the question of whether there is a linguistic difference between classical Attic prose texts intended for public oral delivery and those intended for written circulation and private performance. Identifying such a difference which exclusively reflects these disparities in modes of reception has proven to be a difficult challenge for both literary scholars and cultural historians of the ancient world, with answers not always satisfactory from a methodological and an analytical point of view. The legitimacy of the question is first addressed through a definition of what such slippery notions as 'orality' and 'oral performance' mean in the context of classical Athens, recon...
Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Augustan Rome
Interprets the works of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, an important critic and historian in Rome, in a range of contexts.
Pedagogy in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity
Engage fourteen essays from an international group of experts There is little direct evidence for formal education in the Bible and in the texts of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. At the same time, pedagogy and character formation are important themes in many of these texts. This book explores the pedagogical purpose of wisdom literature, in which the concept of discipline (Hebrew musar) is closely tied to the acquisition of wisdom. It examines how and why the concept of musar came to be translated as paideia (education, enculturation) in the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (Septuagint), and how the concept of paideia was deployed by ancient Jewish authors writing in Gree...
The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Cognitive Theory
The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Cognitive Theory is an interdisciplinary volume that examines the application of cognitive theory to the study of the classical world, across several interrelated areas including linguistics, literary theory, social practices, performance, artificial intelligence and archaeology. With contributions from a diverse group of international scholars working in this exciting new area, the volume explores the processes of the mind drawing from research in psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and anthropology, and interrogates the implications of these new approaches for the study of the ancient world. Topics covered in this wide-ranging collection include: co...
Las vicisitudes de Clío (siglos XVIII-XXI)
¿Acaso la experiencia de la vida y la enfermedad han hecho del joven profesor que en 1978 obtenía la agregación de Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad de Murcia una persona distinta? Tal confiesa el profesor Olábarri en un reciente ensayo de ego-historia. Mas no creo que lo vean así —y el propio historiador ha reconocido la continuidad de sus conceptos historiográficos y de su proyecto intelectual— quienes hayan seguido el decurso de su vida y la producción de su obra. El tiempo no ha modificado la personalidad moral y el estilo intelectual, la «forma de estar» en el medio profesional, del profesor de la Universidad de Navarra. Ocupa Olábarri un lugar propio, singular en ...
Geschichte der Philologien
Die Zeitschrift "Geschichte der Germanistik" erscheint ab dem Jahr 2020 als "Geschichte der Philologien". Unter ihrem neuen Namen trägt "Die Geschichte der Philologien" einer Erweiterung ihres Profils seit Jahren Rechnung: Anfangs, seit 1991, war die "Die Geschichte der Germanistik" das Organ germanistischer Wissenschaftsgeschichtsforschung. Aus der Beobachtung anderer, benachbarter Philologien wurde allmählich eine Komparatistik der Fächer, im Sinn des historischen Vergleichs und der philosophischen Reflexion. Das internationale Editorial Board begleitet aktiv den Weg: Dort sind die verschiedenen Fächer durch namhafte Gelehrte vertreten. Die Aufsätze erscheinen in den drei Sprachen Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch.
