Textual Trails
11th Conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship, Helsinki 2014
Appel à contributions
Date limite : 15 avril 2014
The 11th Conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) will take place in Helsinki, 30 October - 1 November 2014. Texts tend to travel across space and time, carried by sound waves, written on parchments and codices, sealed in envelopes and travel trunks, and streaming as bits in the internet. They pass from mouth to mouth, from singers' performances to scholars' notes, from stone engravings to printed books, or from writing desks to digital editions. Sometimes it is possible to trace the trail of a text or a fragment via several phases of transmission. These trails can be, for instance, a part of the genesis of one writing or an editorial history of one literary work, or they can run through a historical text tradition of scribal texts.

Karel Enenkel et Henk Nellen (éd.), Neo-Latin Commentaries and the Management of Knowledge in the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period (1400 -1700), Leuven, 2013.

Between 1400 and 1700 the political, religious, intellectual, and even geographic landscape was profoundly changed by the Reformation, Humanism, the rise of empirical science, the invention of printing technology, and the discovery of the New World. The late medieval and early modern intellectuals felt an urgent need to respond to the changes they were involved in, and to come to a revision and re-authorisation of knowledge. They embarked on a scholarly programme of a quality and extent hitherto unknown in the Western world: the whole body of the literature of antiquity, including the Bible, was to be re-edited critically and furnished with commentaries. The Neo-Latin commentary became the most important genre of humanist scholarship. This book sheds light on the various ways in which classical authors and the Bible were commented on, the types of commentary, the commenting strategies that were used to approach different readerships, the various kinds of knowledge that were collected, created, and transmitted, and the usages and reading practices applied to commentaries.

Antony Augoustakis (éd.), Flavian Poetry and its Greek Past, Leyde, 2014.
Éditeur : Brill
Collection : Mnemosyne. Supplements, 366
XX-453 pages
ISBN : 978-90-04-26648-3
161 €
Flavian Poetry and its Greek Past breaks new ground by investigating the close interaction between Flavian poetry and Greek literary tradition and by evaluating the meaning of this affiliation in the socio-political and cultural context of the late first century CE. Authors examined include Martial, Silius Italicus, Statius, and Valerius Flaccus. Their interaction with Greek literature is not just thematic or geographical: the Greek literary past is conceived as the poetic influence of a variety of authors, periods, and genres, such as Homer, the Cyclic tradition, Greek lyric poetry, Greek tragedy, Hellenistic poetry and aesthetics, and Greek historiography.

Antonio Gonzalez, Maria Teresa Schettino (éd.), Le point de vue de l'autre. Relations culturelles et diplomatie, Besançon, 2013.
Éditeur : Presses Universitaires de Franche-Comté
Collection : Dialogues d'histoire ancienne. Supplément 9
264 pages
ISBN : 978-2-84867-467-4

Cet ouvrage est le premier des volumes du projet SoPHiA (Société, Politique, Histoire de l'Antiquité), qui porte sur l'amont des relations diplomatiques pour insister sur les découvertes, les premiers contacts mais aussi sur les imaginaires et à leurs implications. Cette étude s'intéresse au regard porté par les vaincus sur les vainqueurs pour analyser comment ce point de vue a influencé la construction de l'image de l'autre et les relations diplomatiques. Ce sont les perceptions de l'autre qui ont créé le contexte culturel et politique dans lequel les relations diplomatiques ont pu être menées tant dans le monde antique que dans les sociétés qui en sont issues.

Giusto Picone, Le regole del beneficio. Commento tematico a Seneca, De beneficiis, libro I , Palerme, 2013.
Éditeur : Palumbo
ISBN : 978-88-6017-712-4
21 €
Questo volume rappresenta la prima tappa di un più ampio progetto che mira a dotare il de bene ficus di Seneca di un commento tematico, costruito e organizzato intorno alle molteplici problematiche che attraversano l'opera. I sette libri del trattato furono composti dal loro autore con l'esplicito intento di fornire una lex ad un insieme di pratiche che a Roma erano fondanti di molte relazioni, come quella tra patroni e clienti, tra, padri e figli, tra princeps e sudditi. L'opera, ritornata negli ultimi vent'anni al centro degli interessi della comunità scientifica, merita anche per la sua riconosciuta complessità una più adeguata collocazione nell'ambito della produzione filosofica di Seneca. La scelta di offrire un commento articolato per temi risponde proprio all'esigenza di rendere conto di tale complessità, e si propone di contribuire a una migliore comprensione della struttura del de beneficiis quale testo letterario, dando voce alle tante questioni d'interesse culturale che il trattato pone ai suoi lettori.

Arnaud Zucker, Encyclopédire. Formes de l'ambition encyclopédique dans l'Antiquité et au Moyen Âge, Turnhout, 2013.
Éditeur : Brepols
Collection : Collection d'études médiévales de Nice
504 pages
ISBN : 978-2-503-55148-7

Au regard du modèle que représente l'Encyclopédie des Lumières, envisagée comme un aboutissement et non comme un commencement, plusieurs œuvres antiques et médiévales ont été perçues comme des préfigurations de ce comble du savoir. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume entendent réfléchir à la vocation profonde qui sous-tend, travaille et motive certains savants de l'Antiquité au Moyen Âge, construisant un horizon de savoir total et organisé.
L'ambition encyclopédique est dès lors la dynamique commune d'un programme de constitution d'un système du monde, où les sciences sont appelées à se coaliser pour former une culture rationnelle complète. Encyclopédire le monde, c'est engager son discours dans une perspective totalisante. Le défi majeur que porte une telle ambition est donc la synthèse des savoirs où se lient étroitement trois questions : les enjeux scientifiques d'une visée encyclopédique, les choix de transmission et d'intégration des savoirs, et les principes et mode d'organisation interne des œuvres.
Les auteurs de cet ouvrage se sont interrogés sur des œuvres ou des genres révélateurs de cette ambition, sur les formes et les expressions de ce syndrome ou complexe encyclopédiste, et sur les modalités de cette volonté d'encyclopédire que l'on suppose tenace, archaïque et profonde.

Mantha Zarmakoupi, Designing for Luxury on the Bay of Naples Villas and Landscapes (c. 100 BCE - 79 CE), Oxford, 2013.
Éditeur : Oxford University Press
Collection : Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture and Representations
352 pages
ISBN : 978-0-19-967838-9
85 £
This study explores Roman luxury villa architecture and the Roman luxury villa lifestyle to shed light on the villas' design as a dynamic process related to cultural, social, and environmental factors. Roman villas expressed a novel architectural language which was developed by designers appropriating the existing stylistic and thematic vocabularies of Hellenistic and Roman architecture. Zarmakoupi seeks to describe and explain the ways in which this architecture accommodated the lifestyle of educated leisure and an appreciation of the Roman landscape, and how, in doing so, it became a cultural phenomenon and a crucial element in the construction of Roman cultural identity. In their effort to accommodate the Greek style, Romans created something completely unprecedented in the history of architecture. Through an analysis of five villas from around the bay of Naples (c. 100 BCE - 79 CE), the volume shows that in designing for luxury, Romans developed a sophisticated interplay between architecture and landscape, an interplay which is still seen in architectural design today.
