Abstract

Composed by Grigor Magistros, an 11th-century Armenian princely savant and friend of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX Monomachus (reigned 1042-55), the Magnalia Dei is a summation of the Bible in epic verse. Written on one of the author's visits to Constantinople, it resulted from an encounter there with a Moslem intellectual by the name of Manazi - none other than Abu Nasr al-Manazi, vizier and emissary of the Abbasid Caliphate, theologian and poet, who frequently visited Constantinople in quest of Greek scientific manuscripts. During their discussion on the Bible and the Qur'an, a stock Islamic argument emerged: that the Qur'an is superior to the Christian Scriptures on account of its beautiful, inimitable verse. The epic is Magistros's response. 0.

Abstract

This is the first study considering the reception of Greek tragedy and the transformation of the tragic idea in Hellenistic poetry. The focus is on third-century Alexandria, where the Ptolemies fostered tragedy as a theatrical form for public entertainment and as an official genre cultivated by the Pleiad, whereas the scholars of the Museum were commissioned to edit and comment on the classical tragic texts. More importantly, the notion of the tragic was adapted to the literary trends of the era. Released from the strict rules established by Aristotle about what makes a good tragedy, the major poets of the Alexandrian avant-garde struggled to transform the tragic idea and integrate it into non-dramatic genres. Tragic Failures traces the incorporation of the tragic idea in the poetry of Callimachus and Theocritus, in Apollonius’ epic Argonautica, in the iambic Alexandra, in late Hellenistic poetry and in Parthenius’ Erotika Pathemata. It offers a fascinating insight into the new conception of the tragic dilemmas in the context of Alexandrian aesthetics.

Abstract

Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) war Reformator, Humanist, Universalgelehrter - und neulateinischer Dichter. In seinen rund 600 zumeist kurzen lateinischen Gelegenheitsgedichten spiegelt sich seine überaus facettenreiche Persönlichkeit und sein umfangreiches Betätigungsfeld wider. Ganz selbstverständlich hat er die gelehrte humanistische Ausdrucksform auch für reformatorische Inhalte verwendet. Dieses Buch betrachtet Melanchthon als neulateinischen Dichter ausgehend von seinem poetischen Selbstverständnis und aufgrund seiner Dichtungspraxis im Kontext humanistischer, an der Antike geschulter Dichtungsvorstellungen. Es berücksichtigt dabei auch die humanistischen Kommunikations- und Funktionszusammenhänge der Gedichte des Wittenberger Humanisten. Zum ersten Mal liegt nun eine Untersuchung des gesamten poetischen Corpus nach gattungsspezifischen bzw. thematischen Kriterien vor. Sinnvoll wird diese durch Einzelanalysen ausgewählter Gedichte ergänzt, die kritisch ediert und übersetzt sind.

Abstract

To what extent is "the natural" the link between violence and humanity? That is, does a violence represented in terms of bestiality lead to a vision of humanity in which violence is relegated to the margins? Starting from these questions, this study looks at the cultural representation of the act of violence in Greek literature, using the concept of "anthropoiesis," drawn from the field of socio-anthropology, as a heuristic tool.
