Abstract

Rédigé en 1545, jouée l'année suivante à Bordeaux, Jules César est une pièce de jeunesse de Muret, qui n'a alors que 20 ans. Resté longtemps l’apanage des spécialistes de la littérature française qui ont vu en lui, avec plusieurs pièces de Buchanan, l’ancêtre de la tragédie classique, le Julius Cæsar de Marc Antoine Muret, qui ouvre le mince recueil des Juvenilia, publié en 1552 et en 1579, fait l’objet ici de la première étude «génétique» approfondie. Dans cette œuvre d’une impeccable érudition, Giacomo Cardinali met en résonance tant la complexité des sources historiques, à commencer par le De gestis Romanorum de Florus lu avec l’ample commentaire de Joannes Camers, que la connaissance de la théorie dramaturgique, représentée notamment à l’époque par les Prænotamenta ascensiana de Josse Bade, ainsi que de la théorie prosodique et métrique, puis la réévaluation du rôle du modèle sénéquien, et enfin, liée à la reconstitution de la bibliothèque de l’humaniste, la richesse de l’inspiration poétique. Le texte, établi d’après les deux éditions parues du vivant de l’auteur et que Giacomo Cardinali illustre par un très riche appareil de notes, est accompagné d’une traduction nouvelle due à Pierre Laurens.

Abstract

The first volume of Professor Woodman's edition of, and commentary on, Velleius Paterculus was published in the Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries series in 1977. This is the second volume to appear, covering Velleius' narrative of Julius Caesar and Augustus, down to 19 B.C. Velleius' history was first published in A. D. 30 and is being increasingly regarded as an important source for Roman history. Professor Woodman's aims have been the same as in his first volume: to establish the text, or at least to indicate where it is unreliable, and to explain the nature and meaning of the narrative. Thus his commentary is primarily textual, linguistic and stylistic, to be used by those who want to read Velleius, whether their interests are literary, historiographical or historical. It is the first commentary of its scale and scope since the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Abstract

Anyone who has even a passing acquaintance with Latin knows 'Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres' ('All Gaul is divided into three parts'), the opening line of De Bello Gallico, Julius Caesar's famous commentary on his campaigns against the Gauls in the 50s BC. But what did Caesar intend to accomplish by writing and publishing his commentaries, how did he go about it, and what potentially unforeseen consequences did his writing have? These are the questions that Andrew Riggsby pursues in this fresh interpretation of one of the masterworks of Latin prose. Riggsby uses contemporary literary methods to examine the historical impact that the commentaries had on the Roman reading public.
