Abstract

The present volume, in tribute to Nicole Methy, brings together 20 contributions, including 4 which were composed by Nicole Methy herself (one of these contributions is unpublished, the other three are hard to find by now). While it contributes to a better understanding of the second century A.D., including Antonine ideology and literary culture of the time, the book focuses on Pliny the Younger. In this respect, it takes into account all the sources: archaeological, numismatic, and of course textual evidence. The Epistles and the Panegyricus of Trajan are explored through several approaches: analysis of themes (health, suffering, mourning, women), but also close reading. The portrayal of various figures (Varro, Nero) is also discussed, and, finally, a study of the reception of Pliny the Younger is provided.

Abstract

Imitation was central to Roman culture, and a staple of Latin poetry. But it was also fundamental to prose. This book brings together two monuments of the High Empire, Quintilian's Institutio oratoria ('Training of the orator') and Pliny's Epistles, to reveal a spectacular project of textual and ethical imitation. As a young man Pliny had studied with Quintilian. In the Epistles he meticulously transforms and subsumes his teacher's masterpiece, together with poetry and prose ranging from Homer to Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus. In teasing apart Pliny's rich intertextual weave, this book reinterprets Quintilian through the eyes of one of his sharpest readers, radically reassesses the Epistles as a work of minute textual artistry, and makes a major intervention in scholarly debates on intertextuality, imitation and rhetorical culture at Rome. The result is a landmark study with far-reaching implications for how we read Latin literature.

Abstract

Pierre de la Ruffinière du Prey retrace l’influence de Pline le Jeune comme un thème continu tout au long de l’histoire de l’architecture. Il examine d’abord ce que Pline considérait comme les qualités essentielles d’une villa. Il discute ensuite des nombreux bâtiments inspirés par Pline: des domaines de la Renaissance des Médicis aux résidences d’été papales près de Rome, en passant par Monticello de Thomas Jefferson et la maison de l’ancien premier ministre canadien Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Tout aussi importants pour l’étude de du Prey sont les nombreuses conceptions des architectes passés et présents qui restent sur papier. Ces restitutions imaginaires des villas de Pline, chacune représentative de sa propre époque, retracent en microcosme l’évolution de la tradition classique dans l’architecture domestique. En analysant chaque projet, du Prey met en lumière le travail de grands maîtres tels que Michelozzo, Raphaël, Palladio et Schinkel, ainsi que des architectes modernes bien connus tels que Léon Krier, Jean-Pierre Adam et Thomas Gordon Smith.
