Under Ptolemy II Philadelphus, who ruled Egypt in the middle of the third century B.C.E., Alexandria became the brilliant multicultural capital of the Greek world. Theocritus's poem in praise of Philadelphus-at once a Greek king and an Egyptian pharaoh-is the only extended poetic tribute to this extraordinary ruler that survives. Combining the Greek text, an English translation, a full line-by-line commentary, and extensive introductory studies of the poem's historical and literary context, this volume also offers a wide-ranging and far-reaching consideration of the workings and representation of poetic patronage in the Ptolemaic age. In particular, the book explores the subtle and complex links among Theocritus's poem, modes of praise drawn from both Greek and Egyptian traditions, and the subsequent flowering of Latin poetry in the Augustan age. As the first detailed account of this important poem to show how Theocritus might have drawn on the pharaonic traditions of Egypt as well as earlier Greek poetry, this book affords unique insight into how praise poetry for Ptolemy and his wife may have helped to negotiate the adaptation of Greek culture that changed conditions of the new Hellenistic world. Invaluable for its clear translation and its commentary on genre, dialect, diction, and historical reference in relation to Theocritus's Encomium, the book is also significant for what it reveals about the poem's cultural and social contexts and about Theocritus' devices for addressing his several readerships. COVER IMAGE: The image on the front cover of this book is incorrectly identified on the jacket flap. The correct caption is: Gold Oktadrachm depicting Ptolemy II and Arsinoe (mid-third century BCE; by permission of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).

Aus den Anfängen der hellenistischen Epoche in Ägypten gibt es nur wenige zeitgenössische Zeugnisse. Eines davon ist die Satrapenstele. Diese hieroglyphische Stele dokumentiert eine Landschenkung des Satrapen Ptolemaios an den Tempel von Buto und nennt weitere historische Ereignisse wie die Verlegung der Residenz nach Alexandria. Sie ist seit langem bekannt und wurde mehrfach übersetzt. Einen umfassenden sprachlichen und historischen Kommentar gab es bisher aber noch nicht. Die Stele bildet den Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Untersuchung zum Verhältnis zwischen makedonischen Herrschern und indigenen Priesterschaften in der frühen Ptolemäerzeit. Der Denkstein steht im Spannungsfeld zwischen den ägyptischen Verfassern und dem makedonischen Protagonisten, weshalb vor allem die Herrscherpräsentation eine besondere Rolle spielt.

This volume examines the changing religious attitudes, political strategies, and resistance activities of Theodore of Beza and other French Protestant leaders between the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacres (1572) and the Edict of Nantes (1598). Drawing on the reformer's published and unpublished letters, city archival materials in Geneva, and rare Huguenot books and pamphlets, this study documents how Beza and his Reformed colleagues attempted to ensure the survival of the Protestant churches in France in the face of protracted civil war and repeated political and religious setbacks. More than a biography of Beza, this book will be of interest to scholars of early modern Europe who wish to understand the political struggles and internal tensions of the Huguenot movement during this crucial period.

Les 35 articles que regroupe le présent volume sont le fruit du tout premier colloque consacré à Bèze en septembre 2005. Eminents spécialistes venus de divers pays aussi bien que des chercheurs plus jeunes y tissent les liens entre Bèze poète et Bèze théologien, entre ses intérêts littéraires, ses travaux de traduction et d’exégèse biblique, entre son engagement politique et son engagement confessionnel, entre son activité en tant que pasteur et ses relations avec les autorités civiles, entre ses prises de position en matière juridique et sa théologie. On y suggère également plusieurs pistes de recherche. Le recueil permet au lecteur d’apprécier le réformateur dans sa spécificité et dans sa diversité : Bèze n’est plus considéré comme l’insignifiant « successeur de Calvin » qui n’aurait rien innové en théologie, ni comme un nébuleux précurseur de la scolastique réformée.
