However, we show that it can be easily and naturally described in the GTR-model. Based on these findings, we motivate the adoption in cognitive science of a hidden-measurements interpretation of the quantum formalism, and of its GTR-model generalization, as the natural interpretational framework explaining the data of psychological measurements on conceptual entities. Solving the Entanglement Paradox more. Entangled states are in conflict with the general physical principle saying that a composite entity exists if and only if its components also exist, and therefore are in pure states.
To solve this paradox one has to complete the standard To solve this paradox one has to complete the standard formulation of quantum mechanics, by adding more pure states.
Une nouvelle recension de la vie de sainte Eupraxie. Le comput de Dicuil. Terms used in papermaking, printing, bookbinding and publishing. Johann von Valkenburg und seine Nachfolger. Using time-dependent methods, we study the scattering of a quantum mechanical particle by short-range potentials with very slow or very fast periodic variations in time.
We show that this can be done, in a consistent way, by using the extended Bloch representation of quantum mechanics, recently introduced to solve the measurement problem, which therefore can also be exploited to restore the full intelligibility of entangled states.
Do Spins Have Directions? The standard Bloch sphere representation was recently generalized to the 'extended Bloch representation' describing not only systems of arbitrary dimension, but also their measurements. This model solves the measurement problem and is This model solves the measurement problem and is based on the 'hidden-measurement interpretation', according to which the Born rule results from our lack of knowledge about the interaction between measuring apparatus and the measured entity. We present here the extended Bloch model and use it to investigate the nature of quantum spin and its relation to our Euclidean space.
We show that spin eigenstates cannot generally be associated with directions in the Euclidean space, but only with generalized directions in the Blochean space, which generally is a space of higher dimension. Hence, spin entities have to be considered as genuine non-spatial entities. We also show, however, that specific vectors can be identified in the Blochean theater that are isomorphic to the Euclidean space directions, and therefore representative of them, and that spin eigenstates always have a predetermined orientation with respect to them.
We use the details of our results to put forward a new view of realism, that we call 'multiplex realism', providing a specific framework with which to interpret the human observations and understanding of the component parts of the world. Elements of reality can be represented in different theaters, one being our customary Euclidean space, and another one the quantum realm, revealed to us through our sophisticated experiments, whose elements of reality, in the quantum jargon, are the eigenvalues and eigenstates.
Our understanding of the component parts of the world can then be guided by looking for the possible connections, in the form of partial morphisms, between the different representations, which is precisely what we do in this article with regard to spin entities. Quantum Physics , Philosophy of Science , and Realism. Many advocates of the Everettian interpretation consider that theirs is the only approach to take quantum mechanics really seriously, and that this approach allows to deduce a fantastic scenario for our reality, one that consists of an Many advocates of the Everettian interpretation consider that theirs is the only approach to take quantum mechanics really seriously, and that this approach allows to deduce a fantastic scenario for our reality, one that consists of an infinite number of parallel worlds that branch out continuously.
In this article, written in dialogue form, we suggest that quantum mechanics can be taken even more seriously, if the 'many-worlds' view is replaced by a 'many-measurements' view. This allows not only to derive the Born rule, thus solving the measurement problem, but also to deduce a one-world 'non-spatial' reality, providing an even more fantastic scenario than that of the multiverse. A generalized Poincare-Bloch sphere, in which the states of a quantum entity of arbitrary dimension are geometrically represented, is investigated and further extended, to also incorporate the measurements.
This extended representation constitutes a general solution to the measurement problem, inasmuch it allows to derive the Born rule as an average over hidden-variables, describing not the state of the quantum entity, but its interaction with the measuring system. According to this modelization, a quantum measurement is to be understood, in general, as a tripartite process, formed by an initial deterministic decoherence-like process, a subsequent indeterministic collapse-like process, and a final deterministic purification-like process.
We also show that quantum probabilities can be generally interpreted as the probabilities of a first-order non-classical theory, describing situations of maximal lack of knowledge regarding the process of actualization of potential interactions, during a measurement.
Quantum Physics and Quantum Measurement Problem. The unreasonable success of quantum probability II: Quantum measurements as universal measurements more. In the first part of this two-part article, we have introduced and analyzed a multidimensional model, called the 'rho-model', able to describe general quantum-like measurements with an arbitrary number of outcomes, and we have used it as In the first part of this two-part article, we have introduced and analyzed a multidimensional model, called the 'rho-model', able to describe general quantum-like measurements with an arbitrary number of outcomes, and we have used it as a general theoretical framework to study the most general possible condition of lack of knowledge in a measurement, so defining what we have called a 'universal measurement'.
In this second part, we present the formal proof that universal measurements, which are averages over all possible forms of fluctuations, produce the same probabilities as measurements characterized by 'uniform' fluctuations on the measurement situation. Since quantum probabilities can be shown to arise from the presence of such uniform fluctuations, we have proven that they can be interpreted as the probabilities of a first-order non-classical theory, describing situations in which the experimenter lacks complete knowledge about the nature of the interaction between the measuring apparatus and the entity under investigation.
This same explanation can be applied -- mutatis mutandis -- to the case of cognitive measurements, made by human subjects on conceptual entities, or in decision processes, although it is not necessarily the case that the structure of the set of states would be in this case strictly Hilbertian. We also show that universal measurements correspond to maximally 'robust' descriptions of indeterministic reproducible experiments, and since quantum measurements can also be shown to be maximally robust, this adds plausibility to their interpretation as universal measurements, and provides a further element of explanation for the great success of the quantum statistics in the description of a large class of phenomena.
The unreasonable success of quantum probability I: Quantum measurements as uniform fluctuations more. We introduce a model which allows to represent the probabilities associated with an arbitrary measurement situation and use it to explain the emergence of quantum probabilities the Born rule as 'uniform' fluctuations on this measurement We introduce a model which allows to represent the probabilities associated with an arbitrary measurement situation and use it to explain the emergence of quantum probabilities the Born rule as 'uniform' fluctuations on this measurement situation.
The model exploits the geometry of simplexes to represent the states, in a way that the measurement probabilities can be derived as the 'Lebesgue measure' of suitably defined convex subregions of the simplexes. We consider a very simple and evocative physical realization of the abstract model, using a material point particle which is acted upon by elastic membranes, which by breaking and collapsing produce the different possible outcomes.
This easy to visualize mechanical realization allows one to gain considerable insight into the possible hidden structure of an arbitrary measurement process. We also show that the Lebesgue-model can be further generalized into a model describing conditions of lack of knowledge generated by 'non-uniform' fluctuations. In this more general framework we define and motivate a notion of 'universal measurement', describing the most general possible condition of lack of knowledge in a measurement, emphasizing that the uniform fluctuations characterizing quantum measurements can also be understood as an average over all possible forms of non-uniform fluctuations which can be actualized in a measurement context.
This means that the Born rule of quantum mechanics can be understood as a first order approximation of a more general non-uniform theory, thus explaining part of the great success of quantum probability in the description of different domains of reality. In the second part, the proof of the equivalence between universal measurements and uniform measurements, and its significance for quantum theory as a first order approximation, is given and further analyzed.
In a letter to Born, Einstein wrote: But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the old one. I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice. More precisely, we show how to perform measurements on a single die, to create typical quantum interference effects, and how to connect entangle two identical dice, to maximally violate Bell's inequality.
Mathematical Sciences and Physical sciences. A remark on the role of indeterminism and non-locality in the violation of Bell's inequality more. Some years ago Aerts et al. In this note we propose a different macroscopic model in which the amount of non-locality and indeterminism can also be parameterized, and therefore varied, and we find that, in accordance with the model of Aerts et al.
However, differently from their model, we also find that, depending on the initial state in which the system is prepared, an increase of indeterminism can either strengthen or weaken the degree of violation of BI. Using simple elastic bands to explain quantum mechanics: From the beginning of his research, the Belgian physicist Diederik Aerts has shown great creativity in inventing a number of concrete machine-models that have played an important role in the development of general mathematical and From the beginning of his research, the Belgian physicist Diederik Aerts has shown great creativity in inventing a number of concrete machine-models that have played an important role in the development of general mathematical and conceptual formalisms for the description of the physical reality.
These models can also be used to demystify much of the strangeness in the behavior of quantum entities, by allowing to have a peek at what's going on - in structural terms - behind the "quantum scenes," during a measurement. In this author's view, the importance of these machine-models, and of the approaches they have originated, have been so far seriously underappreciated by the physics community, despite their success in clarifying many challenges of quantum physics. To fill this gap, and encourage a greater number of researchers to take cognizance of the important work of so-called Geneva-Brussels school, we describe and analyze in this paper two of Aerts' historical machine-models, whose operations are based on simple breakable elastic bands.
God may not play dice, but human observers surely do more. We investigate indeterminism in physical observations. For this, we introduce a distinction between genuinely indeterministic creation-1 and discovery-1 observational processes, and fully deterministic creation-2 and discovery For this, we introduce a distinction between genuinely indeterministic creation-1 and discovery-1 observational processes, and fully deterministic creation-2 and discovery-2 observational processes, which we analyze by drawing a parallel between the localization properties of microscopic entities, like electrons, and the lateralization properties of macroscopic entities, like simple elastic bands.
We show that by removing the randomness incorporated in certain of our observational processes, acquiring over them a better control, we also alter these processes in such a radical way that in the end they do not correspond anymore to the observation of the same property. We thus conclude that a certain amount of indeterminism must be accepted and welcomed in our physical observations, as we cannot get rid of it without also diminishing our discriminative power.
We also provide in our analysis some elements of clarification regarding the non-spatial nature of microscopic entities, which we illustrate by using an analogy with the process of objectification of human concepts. Finally, the important notion of relational properties is properly defined, and the role played by indeterminism in their characterization clarified.
Quantum Physics and Determinism Vs. Quantum "fields" are not fields. Comment on "There are no particles, there are only fields," by Art Hobson [arXiv: We comment on a recent paper by Hobson, explaining that quantum "fields" are no more fields than quantum "particles" are particles, so that the replacement of a particle ontology by an all-field ontology cannot solve the typical We comment on a recent paper by Hobson, explaining that quantum "fields" are no more fields than quantum "particles" are particles, so that the replacement of a particle ontology by an all-field ontology cannot solve the typical interpretational problems of quantum mechanics.
Quantum measurements are physical processes. Comment on "Consciousness and the double-slit interference pattern: Six experiments," By Dean Radin et al. The validity of the assertion that some recent double-slit interference experiments, conducted by Radin et al. It is emphasized that quantum mechanics doesn't need any psychophysical ingredient to explain the measurement processes, and therefore parapsychologists shouldn't resort to the latter to support the possibility of psychokinesis, but search for more convincing explanations.
The observer effect more. Founding our analysis on the Geneva-Brussels approach to the foundations of physics, we provide a clarification and classification of the key concept of observation. An entity can be observed with or without a scope. In the second case, In the second case, the observation is a purely non-invasive discovery process; in the first case, it is a purely invasive process, which can involve either creation or destruction aspects.
An entity can also be observed with or without a full control over the observational process. In the latter case, the observation can be described by a symmetry breaking mechanism, through which a specific deterministic observational process is selected among a number of potential ones, as explained in Aerts' hidden measurement approach. This is what is called a product test, or product observation, whose consequences are that outcomes can only be predicted in probabilistic terms, as it is the case in typical quantum measurements. We also show that observations can be about intrinsic stable properties of the observed entity, or about relational ephemeral properties between the observer and observed entities; also, they can be about intermediate properties, neither purely classical, nor purely quantum.
Our analysis allows us to propose a general conceptual characterization of quantum measurements, as observational processes involving three aspects: The delta-quantum machine, the k-model, and the non-ordinary spatiality of quantum entities more. The purpose of this article is threefold.
Firstly, it aims to present, in an educational and non-technical fashion, the main ideas at the basis of Aerts' creation-discovery view and hidden measurement approach: Secondly, it aims to introduce a new quantum-machine - that we call the delta-quantum-machine - which is able to reproduce the transmission and reflection probabilities of a one-dimensional quantum scattering process by a Dirac delta-function potential. The machine is used not only to demonstrate the pertinence of the above mentioned explanatory framework, in the general description of physical systems, but also to illustrate in the spirit of Aerts' epsilon-model the origin of classical and quantum structures, by revealing the existence of processes which are neither classical nor quantum, but irreducibly intermediate.
We do this by explicitly introducing what we call the k-model and by proving that its processes cannot be modelized by a classical or quantum scattering system.
The third purpose of this work is to exploit the powerful metaphor provided by our quantum-machine, to investigate the intimate relation between the concept of potentiality and the notion of non-spatiality, that we characterize in precise terms, introducing for this the new concept of process-actuality. From permanence to total availability: We consider the classical concept of time of permanence and observe that its quantum equivalent is described by a bona fide self-adjoint operator.
Its interpretation, by means of the spectral theorem, reveals that we have to abandon not Its interpretation, by means of the spectral theorem, reveals that we have to abandon not only the idea that quantum entities would be characterizable in terms of spatial trajectories but, more generally, that they would possess the very attribute of spatiality. Consequently, a permanence time shouldn't be interpreted as a "time" in quantum mechanics, but as a measure of the total availability of a quantum entity in participating to a process of creation of a spatial localization.
Time-delay of classical and quantum scattering processes: We present a step by step introduction to the notion of time-delay in classical and quantum mechanics, with the aim of clarifying its foundation at a conceptual level. In doing so, we motivate the introduction of the concepts of "fuzzy" In doing so, we motivate the introduction of the concepts of "fuzzy" and "free-flight" sojourn times, that we use to provide the most general possible definition for the quantum time-delay, valid for simple and multichannel scattering systems, with or without conditions on the observation of the scattering particle, and for incoming wave packets whose energy can be smeared out or sharply peaked fixed energy.
We conclude our conceptual analysis by presenting what we think is the right interpretation of the concepts of sojourn and delay times in quantum mechanics, explaining why, in ultimate analysis, they shouldn't be called "times". Ephemeral properties and the illusion of microscopic particles more. Founding our analysis on the Geneva-Brussels approach to quantum mechanics, we use conventional macroscopic objects as guiding examples to clarify the content of two important results of the beginning of twentieth century Founding our analysis on the Geneva-Brussels approach to quantum mechanics, we use conventional macroscopic objects as guiding examples to clarify the content of two important results of the beginning of twentieth century: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen's reality criterion and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
We then use them in combination to show that our widespread belief in the existence of microscopic particles is only the result of a cognitive illusion, as microscopic particles are not particles, but are instead the ephemeral spatial and local manifestations of non-spatial and non-local entities. A simple semiclassical derivation of Hartman's effect more. The derivation also gives some insight into the tunnelling time phenomenon. Jan 1, Publication Name: European Journal of Physics. Ockham's razor VS Chatton's anti-razor more. Parapsychology needs paraphysics more. I have been invited to participate in a multi-disciplinary dialogue on the experimental evidence for nonlocal bio-communication, its emergent characteristics, impact on mainstream sciences and future research directions.
In that ambit, I In that ambit, I have more specifically commented a key question addressed by physicist Jean Burns, regarding the possibility of using what we already know from physics to explain the available abundant evidence that ESP can travel without apparently any physical signal to carry it.
My suggestioni is that, most probably, such explanation will not come from physics, but from paraphysics. Subtle energies or subtle matters? A conceptual clarification more. The concept of energy is central in all of modern science, and is obviously of great importance also in the study of the psychoenergetic phenomena. However, both among conventional physicists and less conventional researchers of However, both among conventional physicists and less conventional researchers of parapsychic phenomena, there still is some confusion about a proper understanding of this concept.
The purpose of the present article, mainly educational in nature, is to provide a correct interpretation of the concept of energy, and of its transport in the different physical systems. This is in order to facilitate the formulation of scientifically well-posed questions, especially in the study of the energetic dynamics associated to the still controversial subtle paramatters. The main scope of this essay is to inform the new generations of scientific researchers about the possibility of adopting a new integral approach in science, which is the one of scientific self-research.
By doing so, I will also explain By doing so, I will also explain why self-research is still not promoted on a large scale on this planet, despite being a key element in the construction of a more advanced, self-aware and peaceful humanity. A simple mass model is presented to explain the energetic separation between the physical and extraphysical dimensions.
The model is also used to understand the function of the holochakra as a mediator structure which can considerably The model is also used to understand the function of the holochakra as a mediator structure which can considerably increase the efficiency of interdimensional energy transfer. Theorice and the global structure of the evolving reality more.
This article is a conceptual speculative statement about the origin and structure of our reality. We hypothesised that the fractal structuring process is responsible, through the phenomenon of morphoconnection, for the condition of cosmoconsciousness. The concept of cosmocompletism is introduced and its consequences for a global evolutionary scenario discussed. After having emphasized some fundamental analogies between Yoga and Conscientiology, we propose to combine the practice of a specific pranayama, called Circular Breathing CB , with the technique of the Voluntary Energetic Longitudinal After having emphasized some fundamental analogies between Yoga and Conscientiology, we propose to combine the practice of a specific pranayama, called Circular Breathing CB , with the technique of the Voluntary Energetic Longitudinal Oscillation VELO , to promote a procedure as gradual and effective as possible in achieving the Vibrational State VS.
We also present an ultra simplified mechanical model, to highlight a possible mechanism underlying the functioning of these particular energetic inner technologies. Universal Measurements - How to free three birds with one move more. In all three of these domains of investigation, and the associated problems, the authors explain how to advantageously use the key notion of universal measurement, which constitutes the fil rouge of the whole text. Observer Effect - The quantum mystery demystified more.
According to the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics, no phenomenon can be such if not first observed, and reality cannot exist in the absence of observation.
To this paradoxical conclusion, known as the observer effect, or To this paradoxical conclusion, known as the observer effect, or measurement problem, Albert Einstein retorted, quite rightly, that the moon continued to exist, undisturbed, even when nobody was watching it! But to what extent can we say that our observations can create our own reality? And is it really true that quantum mechanics would have reached the same conclusions as some mystical-religious philosophies, which claim that the universe is a product of the consciousness?
Talking about reality more. A mentor and his pupil question themselves about the nature of their relationship with reality, emphasizing the human tendency to negate what-is, thus creating the sense of impotence and the existential misery. This brings them to explore This brings them to explore what seems to be the only method to follow to improve such a condition and make the sad evolutionary mechanism of suffering obsolete; a method of a critical nature, scientific, which is based on the powerful mechanism of the mirror reality; because when we look out we mostly see in, when we see reality, we are mostly seeing our theories of reality.
However, the work itself does not consist of five panegyric speeches, as one might infer from its title and from the number of the addressees, since the fourth and the shortest speech is dedicated to both John Telegdy and Ferdinand Palffy. The paper will focus on the second panegyric dedicated to Archbischop George Lippay. In der historischen Landschaftsforschung wird gemeinhin behauptet, die Zeit vor dem The printed edition of the bibliography comprises 4, bibliographic items. When converted into the machine readable format catalogue, which is distinguished within the Catalogue of the National Library by its Latin as cataloguing language, the bibliography was amplified by 2, more items.
The works included in the bibliography were selected by the criteria of language the work written in Latin , of author the author was Croat , and of time and place of publishing the work published on the Croatian historical territories after the appearance of the first incunabula and before , when Latin ceased to be the official language in Croatia. The poster throws light on the criteria used in this bibliography, on its importance for the researches of the Croatian literature in Latin language, and on its possibilities as an electronical data base for the studies of Croatian Neo-Latinity.
Statistical analysis combined with comparative analysis when necessary is the method of the research. The description of verse feet using the methods of statistical analysis enables the research of the rhythmical structure of verse and its regularities at the syllabic level. I observe three parameters of the hexameter structure: At first, I will take a look at the syllabic modification, the tendencies in syllable count in the hexameter of the given period, analysing both feet separately and verse as a whole.
The incidence of the contractions demands special attention, but the historical roots of the development of the Neo-Latin hexameter are also taken under observation in order to see to what extent it had diverged from its ancient sources. The paper also aims to find answers to questions that arise when the author, who composes the writings in Latin is not himself a native speaker of Latin and there are no living people who use the Latin language as their native tongue.
Even so, the role of Neo-Latin texts in fascist culture from epics about Italian imperialism in Africa to inscriptions on Roman monuments has remained unexplored. Starting from fascist views on the Latin language e. Mussolini, Carlo Galassi Paluzzi, Aurelio Giuseppe Amatucci , I will discuss the cultural premises and ideological claims underlying the use of Latin during the ventennio fascista. Examples from epigraphy e. In his influential biography of the printer Max Rooses suggested that Plantin and many of his learned friends had associated themselves with a dissident sect, the Domus or Familia caritatis, founded by Hendrik Niclaes.
Ben Rekers in his biography of Benito Arias Montano alleged that the Spaniard also became a member of the sect. In my paper I will reconsider the supposed links between Benito Arias Montano and the Domus Pietatis with the help of the recently published correspondence between Plantin and his Spanish friend.
Illic pluries facultas ei dabatur, ut legatos variis officiis muneribusque fungentes conveniret, immo ipsam Beatricem oratione in urbe salutavit, cum illa iter in Hungariam fecit, matrimonium cum rege Matthia Corvino celebrandi gratia. Postquam Bonfini in regiam pervenerat, primum circa reginam officia habebat, deinde vere anni iam Matthias ei commisit, ut tractatum Filareti Antonii Averulini ad architecturam pertinentem ex lingua Italica in Latinam verteret, et paulo posterius, ut historiam Hungarorum Rerum Ungaricarum decades conscriberet, quamvis Bonfini hoc munus tantummodo post regis mortem finiret.
In operibus praedictis regem ad unguem descripsit: Oratione mea indagabo, quam similitudinem hae imagines de Matthia factae habeant, nam de textibus valde differentibus agitur. Praefatio ut omnia huius generis opera rhetorica est imbuta, neque auctor bene regem noverat, cum illam dedicationem concinnavit. Librum autem historicum sine ira et studio scribere voluit, sed eo tempore iam diu familiaritatem cum rege habuerat. In his Latin grammars, Linacre adds a sixth verbal mood, the potential mood, to the five he inherited from Priscian. In fact, he classifies almost all the uses of what we now call the subjunctive mood under this new heading.
These texts show his view of natural process to be thoroughly Aristotelian, based as it is on a fundamental distinction between two aspects of reality, the potential and the actual. Thus, by subsuming most of the subjunctive functions under his own potential mood, Linacre in effect establishes an Aristotelian verbal system in which one set of morphological characteristics signifies potentiality while another set, the indicative, signifies actuality. He received his medical degree and a doctorate in theology at the University of Basel where his tutors in mathematics were the Bernoulli brothers.
From he taught theology, philosophy, astrology, mathematics, chemistry and botany in the Reformed College of Debrecen. Practicing medicine and pharmacology, he was also the chief pastor of the Reformed Church. In his principal work, a philosophical-scientific work written for educational purposes, entitled Introductio ad principia philosophiae solidioris, Hatvani argues against the rationalism of Descartes and describes his own philosophical theories.
Following the ancient philosophical tradition Aristotelian, scholastic philosophy , he also propagates modern ideas e. As a widely used coursebook, the Introductio became a primary source of relevant informations about the new scientific results for the Hungarian readers and — due to the combination of different genres and styles — it can be considered as a literary production as well.
Welcher Quelle entnahm er diese Behauptung? This manuscript consisted of 64 Latin letters most with corresponding French versions in another hand written in by the young Mary, Queen of Scots. These letters were part of the curriculum set to prepare Mary for the extemporaneous Latin oration on the topic of the education of women that she was to deliver, in early , in the great hall of the Louvre before members of her family and the French court. They do invoke the Hercule Gaulois in many of their poems. One of the goals of my presentation is to articulate both, the explicit and implicit connections between the humanistic and the following generation of poets.
The school was housed in a monastic complex dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari. The most highly-prized pupil to emerge from this school was Giovanni Pontano, who then went to study elsewhere Perugia, Naples and find ultimate success on the international scene, but many others also emerged. Relatively little studied either individually or as a group with common origins, the aim of the paper is also to re-establish just exactly what these common origins were, why this small school in Spoleto was indeed so successful, and to what extent these humanists continued to carry the hallmarks of their early schooling into their later careers.
Educated as a Catholic, he converted to the Anglican church, and finally abandoned the Christian religion altogether and acquired a pantheistic belief. He had a thorough humanistic education. His writings were mostly in English, but he used Latin for a couple of books, among them the Pantheisticon , and for his own epitaph. He found attention by historians of philosophy, but they on the whole neglected his Latin writings with their humanistic background. The most recent monograph about him was written by Daniel Fouke in Philosophy and Theology in a Burlesque Mode.
There, he summarizes his interpretation of the Pantheisticon in this way: It constructed a travesty of institutional religion through a subversive interplay of philosophy, rhetoric, and fiction. It was a philosophical comedy with a serious purpose. Dies geschah in Prosa ebenso wie in poetischen Werken, in lateinischer ebenso wie in der Volkssprache. As a result of the humanist educational reform, the role of the subject and predicate distinction became marginal, and it is not until the late 18th century that it was assimilated into the mainstream grammatical tradition again.
It was indeed one of the aims of the early humanist grammarians to replace the role of logic in grammar teaching with that of rhetoric and to study ancient grammatical authorities such as Donatus and Priscian in their authentic form, deprived of Scholastic influence.
My study will focus on the works of several Humanists e. Unfortunately, only one of her many letters to him, interestingly in holograph, has survived, while two of his letters to her are extant. Five years later they exchanged letters that further document the nature of their relationship. The languages used in the texts are English, Latin and Greek, and although some of the texts are monolingual, many of them contain frequent switching between the three languages. My on-going PhD project focuses on the discourse strategies of the plays, including e.
The present paper discusses the intertextuality achieved in the Orationes plays through quotations from both Classical and Neo-Latin sources. It will also be shown that the allusions are often employed as a narrative device in order to project the world of grammar onto the early modern stage. As Statius he acknowledges his debt to Virgil in the epilogue , Petrarch follows Virgil very closely in his Africa. Independently, however, Statian influence is strongly evident, too, and shall be the interest of the proposed paper.
Petrus Royzius expressed his special predilection for epic poetry by writing occasional verses to celebrate weddings in the royal Jagiellonian family. This paper sets out to examine his poem entitled: Sigismundi Augusti et Elisabes Ferdinandi filiae, written in , which is worthy of mention as a specimen of nuptial verse constructed in a pure epic convention. He lays particular stress on native elements: Although Royzius seems to follow very faithfully the wedding festivity that he witnessed, as we will try to show, the influence of the Classical tradition especially epic poetry is evident in his nuptial poem, which is also modeled on the Classical and Christian epithalamium.
The Colloquia fuse the classical genre of dialogue with an emerging discourse that prefigures early modern theater and fiction. The Adagia in turn offer an encyclopedic compilation of classical antiquity based on literary and linguistic fragments culled from the widest possible survey of texts.
From this, his contempt for medieval authors and their Latin, and his total lack of interest in vernacular literature and language. However, in some exceptional cases Valla uses — in spite of his theories —, typical medieval expressions that were not recorded in Classical Latin.
The following issues will therefore be clarified: Para clasificarlas y analizarlas vamos a atender a los siguientes aspectos: Digital Frontiers for the History of the Book and the Interpretation of mast unive.

Tutti i database qui citati sono attualmente consuntabili al sito: Inoltre, la Historia piccolominea fu tradotta una tredicina di volte in nove diverse lingue prima della fine del Cinquecento. Negli anni passati dal , ho esaminato 35 manoscritti e 45 edizioni latini della Historia piccolominea, considerando anche il loro rapporto con delle versioni vernacolari della storia amorosa.
Secondo i miei risultati sei varianti testuali emergono dalla tradizione latina come fonti delle traduzioni nate in italiano, in tedesco, in francese, in spagnolo, in inglese, in ungherese, in polacco ed in danese. Almeno tre di questi sei varianti possono essere considerati varianti regionali della Historia latina, il cui predominio caratterizza la ricezione del testo piccolomineo in aree geografiche ben definibili.
Dal punto di vista della sua tradizione testuale possiamo addirittura parlare delle varianti mediterranee e quelle nordiche della Historia de duobus amantibus piccolominea, rispecchiate anche dalle sue relative traduzioni in lingue vernacolari. This innovative Latin novel follows almost none of the established conventions of the Neo-Latin novelistic tradition.
It is the first Latin example of a futuristic utopia, or uchronia — a genre invented in the enlightened milieu of the late eighteenth century by important pioneers in the vernacular. It is written in a biblical style reminiscent of the Vulgate, and people, places, and events in the novel are dressed up in biblical garb.
Diesem will sich der Vortrag am Beispiel der Lehrdichtung widmen. Dann wird zu zeigen sein, wie nun innerhalb dieser ausgearbeiteten Abschnitte konkret admiratio beim Leser erzeugt wird. Wie gelingt eine Synthese aus diesen beiden Zielen? In his introduction Broscius claims to have found the Latin poems amidst the documents left by Nicolaus Copernicus. The scholar concluded that the cycle of Septem sidera was probably written within Jesuit circles.
My paper ventures to examine the poetic imagery and content of Latin odes as well as to provide evidence that the poems were written in the second half of the 16th or in the 17th century, which is to imply that they could not be created in the times of Copernicus. Finally, I attempt to discuss the titular question of the authorship of this cycle. Digital Frontiers for the History of the Book and the Interpretation of sabrina. Nel corso della relazione si forniranno esempi di dati materiali tratti da edizioni neolatine allo scopo di valutare le pratiche di lettura relative a tali tipologie di libri.
The author incorporated a number of Croatian words and occasionally verses, as well as a few larger parts of vernacular text, into his epistles ca. We attempt to define the various circumstances defining his choice between vernacular or Latinized variants of the onyms in question, especially with respect to the metrical limitations set by elegiac couplet. Finally, we explain the stylistic effects of the Croatian elements in his verses. We believe that the conclusions of this presentation could shed additional light on language and stylistic features in the Latin poetry of the Early Modern period.
Victoria MOUL; further victoria. Elizabeth SANDIS, Bianca FACCHINI This paper explores the challenges involved in a large-scale research project of selection, transcription, translation and commentary of Neo-Latin verse in early modern English manuscripts, in order to produce a durable electronic edition of the selected material as well as literary analysis of the corpus as a whole.
It will discuss both the technical and digital challenges inherent in such a project, and the advances in literary and historical scholarship made possible by such a large-scale approach to entirely neglected material: The paper will give an indication of the political and cultural as well as specifically literary interest of this material. The first work, De Iure Praedae, proclaimed the right of seizing booty in an officially declared war.
The second work, De Iure Belli ac Pacis, saw the light in and soon gained fame as a seminal work on the law of war. De Iure Praedae contains a pronounced defense of the Dutch Revolt in an argument that was largely maintained in De Iure Belli ac Pacis, although the right to resist the lawful sovereign is more strictly qualified by then. In order to highlight the changes in his position, reference will also be made to other works by Grotius, for example the Commentarius in Theses XI , De Antiquitate and the Annales et Historiae published posthumously in Itaque nunc animus fert ostendere, quantopere Latinis scriptoribus ceteris, qui post Thomasii decessum in plagium grave litterarium inquisiverunt, praestiterit Ioannes Conradus Schwartz anno Coburgi natus ibidemque mortuus anno Etenim idem auctor Latinus, cuius opera plurima copiose politeque concinnata dudum fere prorsus iacent oblivione contrita, anno adulescens XXV annorum Halae Magdeburgicae protulit eam dissertationem, cui titulum indidit Tentamen de plagio litterario; hoc in libello simili videlicet adhibita ratione, quali Platonem usum legimus iuvenem contexuisse dialogos, fictas quasdam personas, inter quarum ordinem Cogitator sive Cartesius eminet, ingeniose de plagio litterario colloquentes inducit.
At vero paucis annis post idem auctor eandem rem alia penitus inita methodo tractavit opere eo, quod anno Lipsiae publici iuris factum inscribitur De plagio literario liber unus. The book — structured into questions and answers — was written in Latin and then translated into Greek, followed by many other languages English, Dutch, German, Hungarian, etc. Johannes Magnus left Sweden in , spent the rest of his life away from his home country and eventually died in Rome, where his work was published posthumously in One reason for the long exile was the gradual introduction of Protestantism in Sweden by King Gustavus Vasa.
The Historia de omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus consists of over portraits of Swedish kings, beginning with Magog, the grandson of Noah. An interesting case among the kings is Gostagus Ostanus , who is said to have ruled Sweden in the 7th century. It was rediscovered at the end of the Quattrocento; in the following century its fame spread and scholars all over Europe were greatly interested in it and tried to obtain copies of the text. My paper intends to present a survey of the translations that were then made.
In particular, I will focus on the so far unidentified author of the translation for Onophrius Panvinius, the little known but important and prolific Giovanni Battista Gabia. The play offers a rich example of Neo-Latin hybrid dramatic literature, blending elements of ancient Roman comedy by adding to the gospel narrative with characters from Roman comedy like parasites and a courtesan. Medieval mystery play is represented by allegorical figures representing virtues and vices. This paper will show that the play is also a noteworthy witness to patristic and medieval exegetical traditions connected with the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan.
Composed within the Catholic doctrinal tradition after the Protestant Reformation, the work is considered the first treatment of this parable for the stage. It precedes more aggressive dramatic treatments of doctrinal issues in plays like the Phasma of Nicholas Frischlin The discussion focuses on the tradition of spiritual and allegorical reading of parables, which presents the spiritual exegesis as the necessary basis upon which to build all practical moral and ethical lessons.
Lipsius presents this specimen of Counter-Reformation polemic as an historical monograph and adorns his prose with poems and classical references. One of his main sources is a similar treatise written in Dutch by Philips Numan ca. Historie vande miraculen die onlancx in grooten getale ghebeurt zyn door die intercessie ende voorbidden van die Heylighe Maget Maria. In this paper, we examine the analogies and discrepancies of both Marian histories from the angle of linguistics Neo-Latin vs.
A comparison of the two versions reveals significant variations in interpretation, and dramatic values, as might be expected, but surprisingly, though aspects of his character are portrayed differently, More is represented as a man of the people in both. Finally the conflict between More and the king is perceived altogether differently. In the Jesuit version Henry VIII is seen as a headstrong tyrant foolishly destroying his best counsellor, while in the English drama the king never appears on stage and the issue of the loyalty oaths and the succession are virtually ignored.
Baudelaire, Gautier and Rimbaud were excellent Latinists and seem to have had an admirable mastery of the classical meters. In my work in progress, a monograph on French decadent Latin poetry from the nineteenth century, I concentrate on the Latin poems written by Baudelaire, Gautier and Rimbaud, placing them in a more general context. Stoic, Neoplatonic — traditions ; on the other hand, he was convinced of the elected status of the humanist poet, of his divine inspiration and his strong relation to the celestial sphere.
The two ideas often overlap, creating a symbolism that combines Greek-Roman mythological, Christian, Platonic and astronomical-astrological elements. The solar symbolism has a key role in Celtis: Other mythological figures Orpheus, Bacchus etc. Thus of a given conjecture, the question that one would most obviously ask is if it succeeds in restoring an authentic text. But conjectures can also be seen in the context of reception, as interpretations reflecting a state of knowledge and the specific priorities of a cultural context.
One reason for doing so is that there are a lot of them: In my talk I shall give a few examples of discussions of conjectures from commented editions of Horace by Lambin France, , Bentley England, and Peerlkamp Holland, The examples are from my thesis Poeta noster Univ. According to Cencio, Chrysoloras distinguished between 1 literal translation, conversio ad verbum; 2 translation of sense, conversio ad sententiam; and 3 free translation, immutatio.
Of these he preferred the second method, but stressed that the translator should take care that the proprietas of the Greek was not changed.
Modern scholarship has discussed what Cencio actually meant by proprietas graeca. Although far away from great centres, we see most European tendencies reflected in printed collections from 17th-century Dorpat, Reval, Riga and Mitau, although with local colour. The paper presents the study of the collections of European old prints from Tartu University Library and the corpus of humanist Greek-Latin poem couples from Early Modern Livonia. The European old prints collection functions as random choice sample for comparison with the Livonian corpus.
Some typical poem couples are studied more thoroughly. He was born in Dalmatia. He studied in Padua, Cracow and Vienna. He was a loyal poet of King John I. He also had influential supporters e. Piotr Tomicki from Poland. Later, he had close contacts with the Habsburg dynasty. His activities can be divided into three periods. He attacked the propaganda of the Court of Vienna with political poems in polemical tone.
His querelae are remarkable because of their genre questions and political attitude. Having been disappointed in the confused politics, he retired from these subjects. Not only did he witness the fierce theological debates between Andreas Karlstadt, Johann Eck and Martin Luther during the Leipzig Disputation in , in that same year he also devoted his literary talent to the writing of three rhetorical pieces, an Encomium ebrietatis, an Encomium sobrietatis, and an Encomium somni. The Encomium ebrietatis was even reissued as a much longer Declamatio in laudem ebrietatis in Moreover, it appears that Hegendorphinus did imitate Erasmus and Mosellanus in different ways.
University of Minnesota, Dept. Playwrights on both sides of the religious divide recast the biblical repertoire of the sixteenth century into sacred tragedy and introduced new historical topics from antiquity to the present. Among Netherlandic Neo-Latin dramatists, Jacobus Zevecotius occupies an unusual place, for his three plays, the tragedies Rosimunda and Maria Graeca ; a reworking of an earlier Maria Stuarta play , and the tragicomedy Esther , have received comparatively scant attention. Both tragedies are based on topics in early medieval history, and in particular on women enmeshed in political machinations against their exceptionally cruel consorts.
I will address the following points: Two starting points in the history of Croatian language standardization will be presented — its first grammar and first dictionary. Institutiones linguae Illyricae by Bartholomaeus Cassius, despite closely following Latin grammatical models, laid the groundwork for an autonomous grammatical tradition.
The authority of the Latin language assured both of these works the status of exclusivity. The excerpts from the perfaces of these works will explain the historical and cultural circumstances under which the term lingua Illyrica became a concept of a unitary literary language lingua communis recomended by the church authorities in Rome for the propagation of religious life propagatio fidei Catholicae in regions under Turkish dominion in Turcarum regionibus.
Paris, Latin , codice contenente le annotazioni vergate da Petrarca in margine alla Naturalis historia di Plinio il Vecchio: At least an estimated quarter of all emblem books are supposed to have been published by the Society. Against the background of these aspects, it is the more astounding that only a relatively small number of emblem books dedicated to political didactics or serving as mirrors of princes has been published by Jesuit authors or institutions, a lot of which have slipped or just brushed scholarly attention so far.
Simultaneously, there is a large amount of occasional gratulatory or panegyric emblems of Jesuit origin, which more often than not also have an explicitly didactic or paraenetic edge to them by way of tying the praise to a certain spectrum of princely virtues of demeanours. In his De statu reipublicae Hungaricae Ferdinando, Johanne, Maximiliano regibus ac Johanne secundo principe Transylvaniae commentarii a history of Hungary from to , written in the s but unpublished until the 18th century , he depicts — in Tacitean and Sallustian manner — a deep-down corrupted Hungarian aristocracy, guided by strictly material interests and finds his patriotic ideal in the mythicized golden-age of king Mathias Corvinus The Commentarii, however, is not merely a national history: Jahrhunderts eine bedeutende Rolle.
Die Gedichte verherrlichen die Liebe, die durch Heirat der Geliebten und durch Kriege bedroht ist, und konstituieren zugleich auch die Stimme des Dichters. Se tratan aspectos relacionados con el libre arbitrio, el auxilio de la gracia, las resoluciones del Concilio Tridentino, etc.
This left room for the poet to add a unique measure of inventiveness and adaptability to classical imitation when writing Latin verse satire. However, the invocations embedded in his Hymni naturales suggest that it may be more useful to view these poems within the tradition of Orphic singing to the lyre as revived by Marsilio Ficino in Florence. Among the various poetic initiatives by Spanish subjects, two epic poems written in Neo-Latin have survived. The first one, Austrias Carmen, consists of two books and was published in by the black poet Joannes Latinus.
While Pedrosa uses traditional Neo-Latin epic strategies, such as the catalogue of heroes and the divine council, Latino discards many of them and opts for a more original interpretation. It describes how natural specimens and artefacts from all over the world find their way into the Oxford University museum of curiosities: Eine erste Durchsicht zeigt, dass Pomponius oder der Student? Gelegentlich zieht er auch Parallelen zu seiner eigenen Zeit, so mit der Feststellung Daci nostro tempore dicuntur Walachi. The historical setting was therefore well selected as a basis for a traditional epic.
However, the narrative itself does not start until verse First the reader is met with invocations of the Muse and of the Christian God, followed by a dedication to King Robert of Sicily. Then follows a discussion of the Punic Wars and their reasons — mainly invidia, according to Petrarch. Likewise, at the end of the epic, after the narrative itself there is a kind of epilogue in two parts: The latter part treats the fate of the Africa and is addressed to the epic itself.
Esiliato da Siena per aver congiurato contro il governo cittadino fu creato poi vescovo di Gaeta da parte di Pio II, suo amico e protettore. La presente relazione intende approfondire i contenuti del trattato De regno et regis institutione, in IX libri, scritto negli anni , molte volte ristampato e tradotto in varie lingue moderne. Both Vitruvius and Colocci saw architecture as an extremely broad discipline that included engineering and city planning, intimately connected to all the liberal arts, and in which the analytical terms genus, dispositio, ordo are often exactly the same as those for rhetoric, painting, and poetic composition.
Such poetry was uncommon in the Northern Low Countries. Therefore, the scholar who some fifteen years ago called attention to this volume, supposed that its obscure author must have been of Flemish origin. The archives allow us to follow his life in the Society of Jesus and to shed light on his dismissal. Furthermore, they make it possible to contextualize his poems, by linking these to the various Jesuit colleges where De Bisschop lived.
Finally and most importantly, it appears that not all, but a great number of copies of the Chorus Musarum contain a very long Echo in Ignaticolas pp. Though it will be impossible to discuss every accusation this would require a thorough study of all the Jesuit manuscript archives related to the provincia Flandro-Belgica from the years , kept in Belgium and in Rome , I will attempt to explore some of the cases mentioned and to give a rough sketch of how this poet sought to discredit by all means the Society of Jesus for his Dutch readers. The reception in the second half of 17th century reached a deep insight into the rhetorical grounds through the humanist philology.
In addition, the humanist rhetorical elocution made profit from ancient grammatical texts providing a list of tropes and schemes. Further comments on Greek rhetorical texts were given over to an attempt to define the relevant place these advances can play in the communication structure of speech. Such freedom may carry the level of poetic efficiency beyond the assigned range to each part of the speech. Seen in this context, the ancient rhetoricians suggested also the employment of a less tightly knit structure of prose genres.
The amplificatio allowed the rhetorical speech the power to stir deep emotions, in which pathos is closely approached. But the Neo-Latin high style limited the excess by certain ethical constraints. As a businessman, with courtly and commercial connections, the story of his life stretches well beyond the halls of academe, taking us deep into the material world.
In this paper I explore the challenges and delights of editing this manuscript poem, with its creative dose of epic fantasy interwoven with historical narrative. Speziell die Dichtungen von kirchennahen Mitgliedern der Arcadia sind ein lohnendes Forschungsfeld. Offensichtlich ist das am Beispiel des Schultheaters, zu dem sich noch andere Formen wie anakreontische Dichtung, Hymnen oder Lobreden auf Heilige gesellen. Lesungen, auch in Kirchen —, an denen die Mitglieder der Arcadia teilnahmen.
Dieser Mittelteil zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, dass in ihm besonders typische Romanmotive Seesturm, Piratenangriff, Intrigen, Gefangenschaft auftauchen, die wohl auch zur Fiktionalisierung des Gesamtwerkes dienen sollen. In , this Swedish philologist, doctor, geologist, zoologist, botanist, philosopher, entrepreneur, poet and composer published a bilingual work Latin-Swedish led by one single objective: For this purpose, their more than pages give a creative reinterpretation of early history, the Bible and mythology.
His elaborations on linguistics or mythology sparked an astonishing amount of dissertations: Harveys Antwort auf die Invektiven seiner Gegner ist durch subtilen Zynismus gekennzeichnet. So prophezeit er mit Bezug auf Horaz carm. Was macht ein Arzt mit einem Patienten? Seine poetischen Werke sind zumindest in Teilen bereits erforscht, und die schillernde Figur des streitbaren Gelehrten hat vielfach Beachtung gefunden.
Der Vortrag wird die kulturhistorische Bedeutung von Frischlins Korrespondenz kurz skizzieren sowie das Editionsprojekt vorstellen. Wie an Paratexten, Titeln etc. This military event became a historical theme for the school drama by Jesuit P. Gabriel Kapi , who wrote a dramatic piece entitled Vienna Austriae defensa et liberata Kapi depicted in this work an event, which had directly affected his life. In fact, after the first year of his study Kapi had to interrupt his theological studies and leave Vienna, when the army of the Ottoman Empire approached the town. Sobieski is watching the town standing on a hill and calls upon to fight against the barbarians.
The last act describes the crushing defeat of the Ottomans and the condemnation of the Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa to death. The goal of my contribution is to analyse the mentioned school drama in terms of its contents as well as from the formal and linguistic viewpoint in the broader context of the Jesuit drama and theatre. In my paper I want to account for some results from an ongoing project on this group of texts. Partly this concerns purely statistical data: When in time do they occur? Where among the liminary texts can they usually be found?
Is poetry or prose more common? Are any congratulatory texts written in other languages than Latin, etc. But it also concerns the content of the texts, and, as paratexts, their relation to the bodies of the dissertation: For in contrast to most other occasional literature, we here meet texts where the writer is located higher in the social hierarchy than the addressee.
Accordingly the motives must be of a different kind as well. There is no denying that Cracow courtiers abandoned themselves to drunken revelries, but the institutionalization of this fun appears to be a strictly literary trick.

Most of the letters are published in the Hungarian edition Szalay-Wenzel in the series Monumenta Hungariae historica.
These letters will be examined in the context of the rules given in the theories of letter-writing of humanistic treatises, the ars epistolandi especially the treatise De conscribendis epistolis by Erasmus Rotterodamus, and the homonymous manuals of F. Sobota belonged to the second generation of local humanists and has left us with altogether fifteen letters composed across a period of some twenty years.
This paper will analyze these letters in order to provide insight into his life trajectory, his humanist interests, and his social network. It will serve as a case study of the Croatica et Tyrolensia project: I would like to demonstrate that Latino also adopts Greek and Roman literary language in his epigrams, shaping Spanish national identity in Classical terms, linking Spain with the Greco-Roman past. Two fifteenth-century scientists and poets of the cosmos writing in Naples, Lorenzo Bonincontri — c.
They drew inspiration from the Classical authors of Antiquity and from their own contemporaries to answer questions both immediate and eternal. By examining their use of the local and the specific to question and understand the global and the universal, this paper argues that their engagement with the contemporary world in all its many contexts both motivates their questions and informs their answers.
This might be due partially to the fact that there is no systematic let alone complete overview of the existing material to date. What is known of Neo-Latin literature written in South Africa or by South African writers depends on the random interest of a small number of scholars, students or librarians. It is also generally assumed that there is still a multitude of yet undiscovered manuscripts in some local libraries such as the Cape Archives in Cape Town or the Killie Campbell Collections in Durban.
This paper intends to present an overview — to the best of my knowledge — of the existing literature and scholarship and to provide an outlook for further research in South African Neo-Latin. The experiment consisted in isolating and analyzing all proper names of classical origin from the total of verses. After the fire in the archive in had destroyed all submissions, only two of these texts were known, both endorsing introduction of Hungarian and abolition of Latin. Recently, two further manuscripts and one printed pamphlet have been identified as responses to the call, two in favour of Latin and one recommending replacing it with German.
This paper examines the arguments for and against Latin in the five surviving essays. Seen in the context of the late Enlightenment and Romanticism these texts give a multi-faceted picture of contemporary attitudes towards Latin and the values ascribed to it. An enormously important but sometimes slightly overlooked part of this culture was the classical heritage.
The Danish clergy of the seventeenth century was often remarkably well educated, and probably took it for granted that a pastor should be able to express himself in a beautiful and elaborate Latin. A collection of Latin letters written by clergymen in the Danish later Swedish province of Scania in the late seventeenth century gives a fascinating insight, but also food for thoughts.
Was the Latin culture as thriving as the letters seem to indicate, or was it in fact in decline? And was the interplay between humanist and Lutheran elements always without friction? From his time until the first part of the 19th century the Latin language dominated the Hungarian literacy. Although the Reformation reached Hungary, and brought development for the vernacular culture, the leadership of the Latin language stayed firm. These circumstances prevailed in writing history too, from its beginning second part of the 11th century to the 18th century when Hungarian historiography attained the standard of scholarship.
My aim is to frame this process and the connections with other disciplines e. Then the vernacular culture got the official role. Hic liber fragmenta quorundam auctorum Graecorum, Latinorum orientaliumque, nec non commentarios eisdem textibus adhaerentes continet, et inscribitur Antiquitatum Variarum sive Antiquitates Annii; durante saeculo Annius enim colligato suo totam historiam antiquam rescripsit, asseverans Noam post diluvium in Italiam migrasse et illic multos filios genuisse, ex quibus populi Europaei provenirent.

Saepissime professores rhetoricae illa opuscula conscripserunt, et ingeniosissimi discipulorum ea perdiscere et recitare debebant, nonnunquam autem tam eruditi atque ambitiosi fuerunt, ut ipsi orationes concinnarent.

Sed operae pretium est alios quoque oratores observare, quamvis hactenus satis neglecti fuerint.
This idea to apply Greek theory to Latin practice occurred to another scholar three centuries earlier. Birkowski illustrates with passages from Latin poetry and prose the stylistic patterns and devices discussed in De compositione verborum. The task undertaken by Birkowski led him to many interesting observations: Vornehmlich an diesem Werk soll den Spuren gefolgt werden, die eine bestimmte musikalische Kultur des Dies soll in ein allgemeines Bild der Wechselbeziehung von Musik und Text im Jahrhundert eingebettet und so in seiner Besonderheit mit der nicht- musikalischen, lateinischen Dichtung Helmbolds verglichen werden.
They take readers to exotic places like Arabia and America or may be set in a European university town. They use a variety of narrative devices to tell their stories and they make their audiences think, laugh, and cry. In short, they do pretty much of what modern novels do. But while the vernacular novel has long been in the centre of modern language studies, Latinists have cared little about the Latin novel of the early modern period: What we also do not have is a longer methodological reflection upon the definition and the corpus of the Neo-Latin novel, on its state of research, and on how we could proceed in further scholarship.
This talk should provide a starting point for such reflection. Digital Frontiers for the History of the Book and the Interpretation of paola. Es existierte bis Eine zweite Auflage folgte Im Laufe dieser Jahre wurden auch andere Projekte realisiert. Zum Beispiel haben wir zwei Ausgaben der ukrainischen Verfassung vom Jahre publiziert. Darum haben wir eine prachtvolle Geschenkausgabe hergestellt, in der die alten Drucke beschrieben und reproduziert wurden: Das Ziel dieser Geschenkausgabe war sowohl die Popularisierung dieses weithin unbekannten Dokumentes der ukrainischen Geschichte als auch die Popularisierung der neulateinischen Studien.
Bischof und Autor zahlreicher Predigten, Auslegungen und Katechesen. Bis heute war das literarische Erbe von Ireneus Falkowski unbekannt. Philipp Orlik stammte aus einer alten Familie tschechischer Herkunft. Er studierte zuerst in Wilno, dann an der Kyjivo-Mohylanska Akademie. Seit musste er ins Exil gehen. Sowohl seine literarischen Werke als auch seine Briefe zeigen seine poetische Begabung, insbesondere seine gute rhetorische Ausbildung.
Er war ausgeschlossen aus dem Kulturleben der Ukraine. Meine Dissertation ist der Analyse seines Literaturerbes gewidmet. This praise is created through a complex mythology concerning Naples and an original poetical style which constantly uses biographical as well as classical references. The interconnection between poetry, mythology and actuality is part of an ideological operation that aims to claim a cultural primacy.
The classical elegy did not elaborate on this subject only the Heroides did. In the last elegy of the volume this suicide is finally executed and brings relief, yet it is done only in a dream. But what is more, Kochanowski, considering this ultimate solution and trying to console himself, creates an intriguing Elysian circle for the poets, all love suicides.
Its inhabitants include Sappho, Lucretius and Orpheus, and certainly this place for the blessed souls is also hoped for destination for an unhappy lover, fitting into the character of the elegy. The proposed paper will deal with the problem of the classical and medieval literary sources of the love suicide motif and such an unusual vision of Elysium. In the following decade, a literary field tied to the University of Prague emerged.
Insofar as we start from P. The cardinal question is what characterised the individual literary communities in parallel during this period. How did their literary techniques, preferred genres and model readers resemble or differ from each other? In what cases and situations did they begin to approach and influence each other?
Did some segments of literary production e. What type of Classical texts and periods were preferred patristic, Golden Age Latin writers and how did various groups of humanist authors treat them? How did they work with the e. Last but not least, we want to present some of the problems our team had to face while writing the proposal and finalizing the list of humanist authors who will be a part of the volume e. One of her eulogists was the Nordic historian and professor Rotger zum Bergen of Riga who visited Van Schurman in Utrecht and published several long Latin eulogies in her honour.
His remarkable publications have not been studied yet. Recently I found his work on Van Schurman elsewhere. In my lecture I will analyse the Latin eulogies and laudatory poems by Rotger Zum Bergen using inter alia the framework of I. Kajanto on the Latin panegyrics to Christina, Queen of Sweden. So kennen wir seine Enarrationes in Psalmos, d.

When Humanism spread, the same process was seen again and again. Often private persons were involved, rather than institutions: In this paper I propose to sketch the history of some of these manuscripts and the way they influenced the rise of proto-humanism in the Southern Low Countries.
The renewed interest in classical literature awakened by these volumes was to be the first step towards the outstanding flourishing of Humanism in the Low Countries, and at the same time the diversified answers to these questions explain certain characteristics of Humanism and Neo-Latin literature in this area. In meinem Vortrag werde ich die Briefsammlung vom sprachlichen Aspekt aus behandeln: Not only did he thereby have the plot of the novel correspond with the actual political events of the time, but the characters acting would also be provided with real historical persons behind their mere literary existence.
Their naming ranges from Persian, Arabian, Greek, Latin and German and although the distribution of the names sometimes might look arbitrary at first glance, they seem to be deliberately and wittily chosen on closer inspection. His historical works are very political in nature, and among their conspicuous characteristics is a flexibility of tenets and approaches, in response to the political contexts and aims they pursue respectively. This paper contributes to this topic by examining the emblematic pamphlet Non Recedat Volumen Rome: Containing 43 Ovidian distichs some of them cribbed from the late antique Ps.
Claudian and others of as yet unknown authorship placed below copperplate illustrations of scenes from the New Testament, the booklet served as a conduit not only of Western visual arts but also of the remarkable European fusion of classical and Christian literary traditions into the feudal Japanese Catholic community.
As such it is an artifact of great value in Japanese cultural history as well as being an interesting sample of early Jesuit efforts to combine classical training, Christian piety and contemporary printed art. Due to this fact it is perceived as an integral part of cultural identity and official writing culture. His work Imago Vitae Monasticae, unique in its period and region, represents an important source of Eastern monasticism. Dies geht konform mit der von Petrarca mitverantworteten und von vielen lange Zeit treu vertretenen Ansicht, er selbst sei der erste moderne Mensch, stehe nach dunklen Jahrhunderten an der Schwelle zu einer neuen Zeit.
Boethius konnte dem Katholiken der nachreformatorischen Zeit daher in zweifacher Hinsicht als Lehrmeister gelten: Er tritt hier in den Dienst poetischer Gelehrtenpanegyrik. Der Vortrag soll die Entwicklungslinien der jesuitischen Instrumentalisierung der Boethius-Vita bis ins Besonderes Augenmerk soll den literarischen Strategien gelten, die der breitenwirksamen Inszenierung des Stoffes zugrunde liegen.
Often the original meanings of the terms are creatively adapted to narrative verse texts. Such glosses not only offer an analysis, if unconventional, of the organization of a speech, but also suggest kinds of gestures and bodily movements to accompany them. In my lecture I will talk about the range of ways that such glosses are deployed in manuscripts of the Aeneid, Achilleid, and Ilias latina, focussing on those that provide clues to how students may have literally embodied literary speeches by women as well as by men in the late medieval and early modern classroom.
Consisting of four types of texts — dissertationes, observationes, ephemerides and synopses chronologicae, it was partly meant to make up for the lack of a certain kind of information missing in the university curricula of the time. In my paper I shall attempt to reveal the internal logic of this extensive Neo-Latin corpus of texts written over a period of thirty years and interpret it within the context of the Neo-Latin scientific prose of the period. This small book is famous as a breakthrough for modern exact science: But the scientific treatise is only part of the book. Nearly a third of the contents is paratext: These texts seem carefully planned and arranged by the author in order to meet expected criticism and create the right picture of himself and his work.
The paper will attempt to analyse the paratext in De nova stella as a coherent sequence of texts. Verdienstvolle Vorarbeiten zu seiner Biographie leisteten besonders D. In all three instances, the engagement with vernacular praxis enables Neo-Latin playwrights to refashion their material, to accord it with their distinctive interpretation of tyranny, political resistance, gender, and sexuality.
The panel is conceived as methodological model for conjoining the analysis of Neo-Latin and vernacular writing and demonstrating the interdependence of those two traditions.
