Celsus penned the earliest known detailed attack upon Christianity. While his identity is disputed and his anti-Christian treatise, entitled the True Word, has been exclusively transmitted through the hands of the great Christian scholar Origen, he remains an intriguing figure. In this interdisciplinary volume, which brings together ancient philosophers, specialists in Greek literature, and historians of early Christianity and of ancient Judaism, Celsus is situated within the cultural, philosophical, religious and political world from which he emerged. While his work is ostensibly an attack upon Christianity, it is also the defence of a world in which Celsus passionately believed. It is the unique contribution of this volume to give voice to the many dimensions of that world in a way that will engage a variety of scholars interested in late antiquity and the histories of Christianity, Judaism and Greek thought.

"This volume explores engagement with Greco-Roman Antiquity across Europe and beyond in the 18th century. Approximately 100 experts, in some 140 articles from "Academy" to "Wallpaper", show how Classical and rival antiquities were perceived and studied during the age of Enlightenment, revolution and scientific progress, and how they served the formulation and affirmation of new ideals. The survey covers the period between the outbreak of the Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes in France in 1687 and the reorganization of Europe at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Articles examine the spheres of society within which engagement with Antiquity took place in the 18th century, the specific subject areas in which it took place, and the media by which it was propagated. Reception of Antiquity in the 18th century was by no means limited to theoretical discourses. On the contrary, the period's growing interest in sensuality and experience also required the relics of Antiquity and their modern echoes and evocations to be explored with all the senses. Focus therefore widened beyond the canonical bounds of reception in the spheres of culture, education, philosophy, religion, law and economics to encompass the perception of Antiquity in everyday and popular culture"--

Les compétitions artistiques et sportives de type grec (agônes) connaissent leur apogée quantitatif et géographique sous le Haut-Empire. Musiciens, coureurs, boxeurs sillonnent le monde méditerranéen, de Rome à Antioche et de la Gaule à l’Afrique, pour tenter de remporter des concours aux récompenses toujours plus spectaculaires. Quand un monument est érigé en l’honneur d’un multiple vainqueur dans les grands agônes, on y grave parfois la liste de ses succès comme preuve de son excellence. Les palmarès de champion n’ont jamais été aussi souvent immortalisés dans la pierre que durant la période qui va de la mort de César jusqu’au milieu du IIIe s., quand on a quasiment cessé de graver ces textes. Le présent ouvrage étudie ce genre épigraphique particulier à travers un corpus de quelque 270 documents. Les palmarès ont leur propre histoire, faite de modifications subtiles ou de ruptures étonnantes ; ils sont aussi la mémoire parfois extraordinairement détaillée et vivante de la vie des champions et de leurs exploits. Greek-style artistic and sporting competitions (agōnes) reached a peak, in terms of numbers and geographical coverage, under the Roman High Empire. Musicians, runners and boxers travelled the length and breadth of the Mediterranean world, from Rome to Antioch and from Gaul to Africa, in the hopes of winning the ever-more spectacular prizes on offer. When a monument was erected in honour of a multiple winner of prestigious agōnes, it included, at times, an engraving of the list of his victories as proof of his excellence. The practice of immortalising artistic and athletic careers in stone was most common during the period that spanned from the death of Caesar to the middle of the third century, when this type of engraving stopped almost entirely. This book studies this specific epigraphic genre, based on a corpus of about 270 documents. The lists of victories have their own history, with subtle modifications or surprising major changes, and some also…
