Dès l’Antiquité, qu’elle soit païenne ou judéo-chrétienne, la libido sciendi apparaît, dans divers systèmes de représentation, comme l’un des principes constitutifs de l’homme, mais suscite, chez les théologiens comme chez les philosophes, quelque méfiance. Cet ouvrage, travail collectif, issu des curiosités de chercheurs d’horizons divers et publié dans le cadre du Centre de recherche Li Di Sa (Littérature et Discours du Savoir), s’interroge sur les permanences, le devenir et les métamorphoses des diverses conceptions de la curiosité, dans une période qui va essentiellement de la Renaissance aux Lumières, mais sans s’interdire quelques escapades chronologiques. La place et le rôle que lui réservent les théoriciens dans les divers champs du savoir, les mythes et fictions qu’elle suscite, les objets ou figures qui la symbolisent sont donc étudiés. Apparaissent ainsi, dans leur rapport particulier au désir de connaissance, divers personnages : historiens, philosophes, lecteurs, voyageurs, amateurs d’art, scientifiques, voire inquisiteurs, pour ne citer que quelques avatars des « curieux » évoqués.

his work by Ramon Llull, originally composed in Catalan (‘Art de fer e solre questions’), was written in Rome in 1295. It is also known as ‘Lectura super Artem inventivam et Tabulam generalem’, as it attempts to make the ‘Ars inventiva veritatis’ (op. 44) and ‘Tabula generalis’ (op. 53) more approachable. In the prologue Llull expresses his wish for this work to be translated into Latin. It belongs to the so-called encyclopaedic writings in the Lullian production, and the author announces a thousand questions related mainly to theology. The present work aims to provide a general technique applicable to any subject, a practical usage of the ‘Ars inventiva veritatis’ and the ‘Tabula generalis’. In general, Llull develops some aspects dealt with in op. 44 and op. 53 in order to solve possible objections or to experiment with new procedures. It is another step in the great epistemological project of the Majorcan: to establish a new general science that overcomes the difficulties inherent in scholastic-Aristotelian science; to apply its method to the articles of the Christian faith and to create a universal scientific system as a solid basis for the other sciences.

Phlegon of Tralles, a learned freedman of Hadrian's, was a prolific writer, but only two of his works have - though not entirely - survived: Peri thaumasion ('On marvellous things') and Peri makrobion ('On long-lived persons'). The former is probably the main extant paradoxographic collection from classical antiquity, mostly famous for some memorable ghost stories (one of which inspired Goethe); the latter reviews long-lived individuals from both archival and literary sources. Both are extensively interespersed with oracles, Sibylline and others. These works were hitherto available in unsatisfactory editions. Stramaglia's new edition relies on a fresh, meticulous collation of the codex unicus (Heidelberg, Palat. Gr. 398); takes complete account of scholarship from the editio princeps (1568) onwards; establishes the text according to a sounder evaluation of Phlegon's language and style; and includes not only a detailed apparatus criticus, but also - for the first time - an apparatus auxiliarius providing loci similes vel paralleli, as well as close bibliographical references and elucidations of obscure or abstruse passages.
