Legein Ta Legomena. Herodotus' Stories As Natural Narrative

by Iwona Wieel

49,36€ + 10% CARD

 In the aftermath of the Persian Wars, not only new geopolitical borders were established in the Hellenic world, but there also emerged an intracultural line between the worlds of oral and increasing textual modes of communication. This book seeks to prove that these cultural changes are mirrored in a verbal work of art in the texts of Herodotus. The analysis of his texts, by applying the natural narratology theory, shows a specific and extraordinary mediacy between both approaches to communication. On the one hand, his «Histories» present a general account of the recent Greek history in a rationalizing and personal narrative of the historian who codifies it in a textual framework. On the other hand, they seem to consist of a conglomerate of numerous oral stories, which may assume a conversational narration structure.

Le Texte Comme Présence - Contribution À Lhistoire De La Réflexion Sur Le Texte Et Le Livre

by Juliusz Domaski

58,96€ + 10% CARD

 Commençant par Homère et finissant avec les héritiers de lhumanisme de la Renaissance au XVIIe siècle, on suit ici les réflexions sur la puissance particulière des mots écrits, donc du texte. Grâce à sa puissance, il rend effectivement présents pour ses lecteurs tous ceux dont il parle, et qui sont, d'une façon ou dune autre, absents, soit en raison de leur distance spatiale, soit à la suite de leur mort. De même il rend présent également son auteur. On esquisse ici la naissance de cette idée à lépoque de la littérature orale de la Grèce archaïque, ses métamorphoses dans la poésie et la prose grecques et latines de lAntiquité, sa continuation au Moyen Âge, son sommet à la Renaissance, mais à la fois sa crise, commençant déjà à cette époque.

The Church Histories" Of Theodore Lector And John Diakrinomenos

by Adrian Szopa, Aneta Zabrocka, Kamilla Twardowska e Rafa Kosiski

68,24€ + 10% CARD

 This book provides the reader with a comprehensive edition of the Church Histories by John Diakrinomenos and Theodore Lector. It contains the original texts along with translations into English and a commentary. We offer a completely new edition, which should be a convenient tool to be used by the researchers. We have made a clear distinction between what is certainly the content that comes from Theodore and the later transmission of the factual information derived from his Church History as can be found in various Byzantine works. We have also attempted, in each particular instance, to trace the connection between the transmission in the later works and Theodores composition. It should be emphasized that it is the first translation of all Theodorean tradition into modern language.

Glossae Scholia Commentarii - Studies On Commenting Texts In Antiquity And Middle Ages

61,68€ + 10% CARD

 The role of commentary as a basic method of research used broadly in both Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages still awaits further analysis. Commentary as a research and didactic method becomes especially interesting in a multicultural perspective: were Buddhist and Arabic texts commented in the same way as it was done by late antique and medieval scholars? The extensive medieval commentary literature still awaits scholarly assessment from the perspective of theory of literature as well as methodology and history of various scientific disciplines.

The Monstrous World - Corporeal Discourses In Phlegon Of Tralles «Mirabilia»

by Julia Doroszewska

51,87€ + 10% CARD

 Revenants, oracular heads, hermaphrodites, sex-changers, human-animal children, multiple pregnancies, births, body features This is just a sample of subjects that Phlegon of Tralles explored in the 2nd century AD in his "Mirabilia". This study identifies the common motifs of Phlegons text and determines his criterion of selection: using the cultural category of "monster", it argues that Phlegon exclusively collected stories of either hybrid creatures or human "record-breakers" with respect to scale, size and multiplicity of their corporeal features. In this light, the "Mirabilia" appear to be a book on monsters and the monstrous that corresponds with a general fondness for marvels and oddities during the Roman imperial period.

In each case corporeality receives the greatest emphasis.
