Abstract

L’articolo evidenzia alcuni concetti chiave e discute evidenti esempi tratti dai cosiddetti “oracoli teologici” della tarda antichità. Alcune caratteristiche come l’apofatismo e la nozione di autogenerazione divina sono particolarmente evidenti nella raccolta di oracoli del V secolo denominata , dal nome della città in cui è conservato il principale manoscritto che li tramanda. Tale raccolta contiene alcuni oracoli pagani greci, concepiti per predire la rivelazione cristiana e rappresenta pertanto un tentativo di riconciliazione tra religione tradizionale e cristianesimo. Viene inoltre fornita una ricognizione critica della recente letteratura scientifica sull’argomento, in particolare il breve volume di J.M. Nieto Ibáñez (), Madrid, Editorial Trotta, 2010) e si prendono in considerazione i risultati di un convegno di studi organizzato da Helmut Seng e tenuto a Francoforte sul Meno nel luglio 2012.

Abstract

The article highlights some key tenets and discusses striking examples taken from what are commonly referred to as the ‘theological oracles’ of Late Antiquity. Features such as apophatism and the notion of divine selfgeneration are particularly evident in the fifth-century oracular collection called the Tuebingen Theosophy after the city where its most important manuscript is kept. The work records some pagan Greek oracles which were thought to foretell Christian revelation and therefore represents an attempt at reconciling traditional religion and Christianity. In addition, the author offers a critical reassessment of recent literature on the subject. She discusses, in particular, a short volume by J.M. Nieto Ibáñez (), Madrid, Editorial Trotta, 2010) and takes into account in her analysis the results of a conference which was organized by Helmut Seng and held in Frankfurt am Main in July 2012.
