Volume 4: Kierkegaard and the Patristic and Medieval Traditions
This volume features articles which employ source-work research to trace Kierkegaard's understanding and use of authors from the Patristic and Medieval traditions. It covers an extraordinarily long period of time from Cyprian and Tertullian in the second century to Thomas à Kempis in the fifteenth. Despite its heterogeneity and diversity in many aspects, this volume has a clear point of commonality in all its featured sources: Christianity. Kierkegaard's relation to the Patristic and Medieval traditions has been a rather neglected area of research in Kierkegaard studies. This is somewhat surprising given the fact that the young Kierkegaard learned about the Patristic authors during his stud...
The Acts of Paul
This is the most complete translation of the Acts of Paul in English, together with a detailed commentary. The orientation is primarily literary, with detailed attention to the history of composition and revision. Unlike many studies, this commentary does not focus upon the story of Thecla.
Miscellanea Arabica Et Islamica
The volume contains twenty contributions to the fields of Arabic Linguistics, Islamic Law, and Arabic and Islamic thought. These are edited and often revised and enlarged versions of papers which were originally presented at the 15th Congress of the Union Europeenne des Arabisants et Islamisants, held at the University of Utrecht in September 1990. They were selected for publication in this volume because of their originality and substance. The diversity and richness of this collection reflects the scope of research in the fields of Arabic and Islamic studies in Europe today.

Narcissus and the Invention of Personal History
Originally published in 1985. This investigation of Ovid’s fable takes a different tack to previous studies of the love lyric or the themes but looks at the creation of narrative strategies to explain Narcissus’ experience. The story has always been understood as literally impossible but invites readers to ask what is meant by the puzzling tale of deception and death. The limits placed on the fable by the commentaries of the medieval period allow us to appreciate the narrative expansion of the fable in twelfth and thirteenth-century poetry. Themes in this book are the way the fable is used as a means for knowledge of physical nature and the development of science; the importance of language in the fable and in its settings when rewritten in other texts, and psychoanalytic aspects of Echo and Narcissus. The fable has the capacity to represent mental life and psychological crisis within other narratives and this is also an important discussion point, based around the medieval text Roman de la Rose. The book also considers the wider Metamorphoses and Ovid’s importance for literature.
Lustrum Band 63 – 2021
Der in englischer Sprache verfasste Forschungsbericht zu Ovids Metamorphosen wurde von einem Forscher:innenteam der Universität Huelva unter Leitung von Antonio Ramírez de Verger und Luis Rivero García erstellt und arbeitet die schier unüberschaubare Literatur zu diesem gegenwärtig wohl meistgelesenen und meisterforschten Werk der römischen Dichtung kritisch auf. Im Zentrum des zweiten Teils stehen Arbeiten zu Sprache und Stil der Metamorphosen, außerdem Arbeiten zu Quellen und Vorbildern sowie zur Rezeptionsgeschichte.
Antike als Inszenierung
Das dritte Bruno Snell-Symposion stellt die interdisziplinären Beiträge zur Aktualisierung von Antike unter den Leitbegriff der Inszenierung. Der Begriff deckt ein Spektrum ab, das vom klassischen Theater bis zu metaphorischen Konnotationen reicht. Das Ergriffenwerden im Sinne des aristotelischen Affekts gehört ebenso in dieses Feld, wie die Selbstverständigung und -inszenierung einer Gesellschaft, die mediale Inszenierung und die Neuinterpretation des bekannten Materials.Ausgehend von der Frage nach der Selbstinszenierung der athenischen Polisgesellschaft und dem Verhältnis von Sprache und Gestik in der griechischen Tragödie, zeigen die Beträge zu Montaigne, zur romantischen Ode in England, zu Paveses Dialog mit der Antike, zur deutschen Lyrik und zum Einfluss der Antike auf den Naturbegriff in der deutschen Literatur wichtige Stationen europäischen Antikeverständnisses auf. Die Aktualisierung des griechischen Körperkults gibt Anlass zu kritischer Nachfrage, LaButes Pygmalion wirft die Frage nach Relevanz des Stoffes in den USA der Gegenwart auf, am Beispiel Thomas Hettches lassen sich antike Mythen als Inszenierungsmittel für ästhetische Probleme beschreiben.
