Abstract

Wie kam die heidnische Antike durch das christliche Mittelalter? Diese Frage von Horst Fuhrmann zielt auf die asketische Seite des Christentums, die den Kirchenvater Hieronymus zu einer schweren Selbstanklage brachte: Er sei vom göttlichen Richter als "Ciceronianer", als Liebhaber der lasziven, eleganten Literatur verdammt worden. Die Auffassung der Hieronymus wurde das ganze Mittelalter über immer wieder aufgegriffen, ebenso wurden jedoch auch die antiken Texte und Götterfabeln getreu abgeschrieben - in einer Zeit rabiater Fälschungen von Kirchenrechtstexten und Heiligenlegenden. Der Dank dabür gebührt wohl zuerst den Mönchen des Heiligen Benedikt: sie haben in großer Entsagung alle Überlieferung der Antike, deren sie habhaft werden konnten, über die Epocheschwelle des neunten Jahrhunderts auf uns gebracht - ohne sich im Glauben irre machen zu lassen.

Abstract

"In this ... study of Cicero's orations, Ingo Gildenhard argues that a distinctive hallmark of his oratory is a conceptual creativity that one may loosely characterize as philosophical. It manifests itself in striking and original views on human beings and being human, politics, society and culture, and the sphere of the supernatural. After an introduction addressing questions of method, Gildenhard focuses, in turn, upon the anthropology, the sociology, and the theology contained within Cicero's oratory. Each of these parts begins with a substantial introduction that situates Cicero's thought within its wider historical and intellectual context, not least by identifying where and how he departed from established habits of thought in the late-republican field of power. The nature of the argument involves close analysis of key terms or concepts such as conscientia, fatum, humanitas, natura, and tyrannus, as well as attention to larger figures of thought such as agency and accountability, the ethics of happiness, laws vs. justice, the enemy within, civilization vs. Barbarity, the problem of theodicy, and life after death. Examples are drawn from the entire corpus of Ciceronian oratory, from the pro Quinctio to the Philippics, with in-depth analysis of a representative cross-section of particularly relevant speeches. Overall, Creative eloquence offers a fundamental reappraisal of a canonical body of texts, while also touching upon many issues in rhetoric and philosophy that still preoccupy us today"--P. [4] of original dustjacket.

Abstract

"Looting, despoiling temples, attempted rape and judicial murder: these are just some of the themes of this classic piece of writing by one of the world's greatest orators. This particular passage is from the second book of Cicero's Speeches against Verres, who was a former Roman magistrate on trial for serious misconduct. Cicero presents the lurid details of Verres' alleged crimes in exquisite and sophisticated prose. This volume provides a portion of the original text of Cicero's speech in Latin, a detailed commentary, study aids, and a translation. As a literary artefact, the speech gives us insight into how the supreme master of Latin eloquence developed what we would now call rhetorical "spin”. As an historical document, it provides a window into the dark underbelly of Rome's imperial expansion and exploitation of the Near East. Ingo Gildenhard's illuminating commentary on this A-Level set text will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both high school and undergraduate level. It will also be a valuable resource to Latin teachers and to anyone interested in Cicero, language and rhetoric, and the legal culture of Ancient Rome."--Publisher's website.
