The Ciris is a small scale epic poem which relates the myth of Scylla, daughter of king Nisus of Megara, who betrayed her homeland for love, and was transformed into a sea-bird. It is one of the poems in the Appendix Vergiliana, a collection that has been ascribed to Virgil as his carmina minora. Earlier scholarship has mostly been concerned to prove that the Ciris is not by Virgil, and then to demonstrate that it is a late and derivative composition of little intrinsic merit. The present book argues that Ciris was composed by a contemporary of Virgil, a product of the golden age of Latin poetry. It aims to bring the poem to the attention of modern readers and to rescue it from ill-deserved neglect. The introduction presents detailed linguistic, literary and historical arguments in support of this early composition date and offers a state-of-the-art account of the textual witnesses and the manuscript tradition. The critical text and apparatus are based on a systematic, first-hand analysis of manuscript evidence as well as the rigorous application of text-critical methods. The new text, as close to the original Ciris as can be achieved, includes over one-hundred and fifty changes from previous editions. By engaging with textual scholarship on the poem from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century, the line-by-line commentary provides a comprehensive guide to the numerous textual problems, and is an important contribution to the stylistic and linguistic analysis of golden-age Latin poetry.

This volume is a collective work dedicated to the memory of Virgil Madgearu (1887-1940) a preeminent professor of the Academy of Higher Commercial and Industrial Studies, the innitial name of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. Each chapter of the book reveals defining elements of Madgearu’s life and work, his beliefs, viewpoints and active involvement in the academic and institutional development of the university (1917-1940), in the interdisciplinary research of the economy and society, in shaping the Romanian peasant doctrine and promoting Europe wide the interests of agrarian countries, in assuming political responsibilities as parlamentarian or as member of various interwar governments. As a respected professor and a leading politician he vigorously rejected the presence and influence of extreme right movements in the society and that valiant attitude was at the origin of his assassination in November 1940.

"Virgil's Georgics depicts the world and its peoples in great detail, but this geographical interest has received little detailed scholarly attention. Hundreds of years later, readers in the British empire used the poem to reflect upon their travels in acts of imagination no less political than Virgil's own. Virgil's Map combines a comprehensive survey of the literary, economic, and political geography of the Georgics with a case study of its British imperial reception c. 1840-1930. Part One charts the poem's geographical interests in relation to Roman power in and beyond the Mediterranean; shifting readers' attention away from Rome, it explores how the Georgics can draw attention to alternative, non-Roman histories. Part Two examines how British travellers quoted directly from the poem to describe peoples and places across the world, at times equating the colonial subjects of European empires to the 'happy farmers' of Virgil's poem, perceived to be unaware, and in need, of the blessings of colonial rule. Drawing attention to the depoliticization of the poem in scholarly discourse, and using newly discovered archival material, this interdisciplinary work seeks to re-politicize both the poem and its history in service of a decolonizing pedagogy. Its unique dual focus allows for an extended exploration, not just of geography and empire, but of Europe's long relationship with the wider world"--

How is the poetological thought of the Augustan period to be defined; what are its themes, motives and protagonists? Consideration of the very nature of poetry, how it is created and the criteria by which it should be evaluated is a matter of great significance in Augustan literature and is specifically manifested in the poetic works themselves; both issues are clearly identifiable in Horace's Ars Poetica. Yet poetological reflection has obviously influenced other works of this epoch. This study will examine the numerous figures of artists which are preponderantly found in the works of Ovid and Virgil, and consider their aesthetic representation as reflective figures of the poetic process. Among them there will be discussed the singers Orpheus, Arion, Iopas, Cretheus, Daphnis, Menalcas and Mopsus, the instrumental musicians Misenus, Marsyas and Pan, the sculptor Pygmalion, the craftsman Daedalus and his nephew Perdix, together with the weaver Arachne - one of the few, but nonetheless present, female figures. Through the analysis of these figures of artists, this study opens up a new perspective on the poetological discourse of the Augustan era. Wie sieht poetologisches Denken in augusteischer Zeit aus, was sind seine Themen, Motive und Akteure? Das Nachdenken darüber, was Dichtung ist, wie sie entsteht und nach welchen Kriterien sie zu beurteilen ist, genießt in der augusteischen Literatur einen hohen Stellenwert und manifestiert sich vornehmlich in den Dichtwerken selbst; beides ist an Horaz' Ars poetica deutlich abzulesen. Doch poetologische Reflexion prägt auch andere Werke der Epoche. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die zahlreichen Künstlerfiguren, die sich vor allem bei Vergil und Ovid finden, und betrachtet ihr Handeln als ästhetische Reflexionsfiguren des poetischen Prozesses. Unter ihnen sind die Sänger Orpheus, Arion, Iopas, Cretheus, Daphnis, Menalcas und Mopsus, die Instrumentalmusiker Misenus, Marsyas und Pan, der Bildhauer Pygmalion, der Werkmeister Daedalus und sein Neffe Perdix sowie - als eine der wenigen, aber durchaus vorhandenen weiblichen Figuren - die Weberin Arachne. Durch die Analyse dieser Künstlerfiguren erschließt die Arbeit eine neue Perspektive auf die poetologischen Diskurse der augusteischen Zeit.
