Abstract

The Commentarii Familiares by Jodocus Badius Ascensius retain quite a traditional disposition. At first, they were completed to support the teaching of the Latin language, and after, before being printing-pressed, they were renewed with the explanations of alienexegesis. This renovation makes his explanations show unique characteristics, to the point that sometimes even the reprinting of his explanations to a same work do not allow them to be qualified as reedition. Nevertheless the obvious traditional disposition possessed by the Commentarii Familiares is consistent with that retained by the French poetry at least up to the second half of the sixteenth century.

Abstract

Ercole Strozzi’s Carminum liber unites 9 odes: 8 religious poems according to the Christian liturgical calendar (mixing temporal and sanctoral), from the Annunciation to Whitsun to finish with a praise of the Virgin of the Seven Joys, and, in the end, a profane ode directly inspired by Horatius. His religious lyricism takes roots in the Christian latin hymnody (Ambrosius, Prudentius), but doesn’t forget the lyric tradition of Horatius: Ercole Strozzi searches an original way between this two traditions.

Abstract

The Portuguese doctor Amatus Lusitanus (1511-1568) published his seven Curationum medicinalium centuriae between 1551 and 1566. The clinical cases are usuallyfollowed by some scholia in which different subjects related to the case are theoreticallydiscussed. In the curatio 28 of the first Centuria Amatus writes a long scholium to talk about an issue frequently debated from Antiquity: the suitability of providing aqueous wine during fever episodes. The paper, in any case, aims to carry out a deep analysis of Amatus’ literary method and to pay special attention to his way of building the text by citing ancient sources (Corpus Hippocraticum, Aristotle, Galenus, Aetius) and using contemporary authors (Manardus, Musa Brassavola, Mondella) in a tacit and more or less dissimulated way.

Abstract

In 1561, Jan Telgius wrote in Colonia an introductory handbook to learnrhetoric titled Progymnasmata Rhetorica. The main source - though not the only one - for this text is Rhetorica ad Herennium, of which Telgius’ book is actually an epitome. In addition, as Telgius himself acknowledges, almost all the precepts in his progymnasmata are illustrated by fere Ciceronianis examples. The objective of this paper is: (a) to present an analysis of the sources used in the theoretical part and examples the book comprises; and (b) to present a typology of these ones.

Abstract

The paper focuses on the extant manuscript work of friar Alonso de laVeracruz (1507-1584), an important Spanish-Mexican author. Once an introduction to his life and production is made, attention is paid to the origins of his work Compendium privilegiorum that remained a manuscript because of the reasons expounded in the paper itself. Then the two manuscripts of the work are established and studied for the first time. Different references to a manuscript lacked elucidation on how many manuscripts existed; the only available manuscript had not been studied; and the finding of a second one, which was given to me for study, made me see that an individual study of them, as well as the subsequent collation of both texts was needed.

Abstract

In 1652, a time when several ancient sources and comments on Poetics were disputed, Pierre Mambrun wrote an essay, Dissertatio de epico carmine, expounding literarycriteria by which to judge the flourishing genre of the French epic. This paper provides an overview of the Jesuit (Mambrun, Masen, Le Moyne, Le Brun) literary doctrine on the epic between 1650 and 1670. Mambrun discussed the definitions proposed in the main commentaries published before the impact of Boileau-Despréaux’s translation of De sublimitate in 1674. After having explored the range of different definitions of the epic genre and imitation, Mambrun’s contribution to a methodical analysis of Virgil’s achievements is highlighted.

Abstract

Adam Gschwend was one of a group of German professors who simplified and adapted Aftonio’s preceptive progymnasmatica to the social and cultural reality of his time and to the educational needs of the schools where he taught Rhetoric. The purpose of this article is to make a first study of his Palaestra Progymnastica, a brief manual intended for the teaching of the progymnasmata to students starting to study Rhetoric at the Gymnasium of Eisenberg. The Palaestra is not a mere summary of the Aphthonii Progymnasmata. On a formal level, the Palaestra is characterized by its schematic structure. The manual is essentially practical and includes instructions on style, formulas and advice. With regard to his examples, the themes are varied, although religious ones pre-dominated, which links him to the reformist pedagogical movement.

Abstract

In El reino de Celama of Luis Mateo Díez we find the copresence in the same place and time of what was and of what is, his objectification through the subjectivation of individual perception, the necessary memory to avoid oblivion, the void, Nothing, and all this using a few references that make present in the trilogy very different works and authors, some modern not so much, and especially references to classical Antiquity, to motifs as important and transcendent as the Hereafter, the Life and Death.

Abstract

In a sixth-century church in San Martín de Dulantzi (Álava), a silver spoon with the engraved name of its owner and a representation of the myth of Theseus and theMinotaur. The Christian context allows us to raise the possibility that this image is a primitive representation of the Christianization of the myth of Theseus.
