Christopher P. Jones (éd.), Apuleius: Apologia. Florida. De Deo Socratis, Cambridge [MA]-Londres, 2017.

Apuleius, one of the great stylists of Latin literature, was born ca. 125 AD in Madauros to a politically prominent family and received an elite education in the provincial capital Carthage and at Athens, where he began a lifelong allegiance to Platonic philosophy. In the later 150s, he married Pudentilla of Oea, a wealthy widow, and seems to have enjoyed a distinguished public career in Africa and perhaps as an advocate in Rome.
Although Apuleius is best known for his picaresque novel Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass (LCL 44, 453), he also wrote and declaimed on a wide variety of subjects. This edition contains the other surviving works of Apuleius that are considered genuine. Apologia is a speech in which Apuleius defends himself against in-laws who had accused him of having used sinister means, including magic, to induce Pudentilla to marry him. The Florida is a collection of twenty-three excerpts from speeches by Apuleius. De Deo Socratis (On Socrates' God) locates Socrates' invisible guide and protector (daimonion) within the more general concept of daimones as forces intermediary between gods and humans.
This edition, new to the Loeb Classical Library, offers fresh translations and texts based on the best critical editions.

This volume sets out to explore the complex relationship between Horace and Seneca. It is the first book that examines the interface between these different and yet highly comparable authors with consideration of their oeuvres in their entirety. The fourteen chapters collected here explore a wide range of topics clustered around the following four themes: the combination of literature and philosophy; the ways in which Seneca's choral odes rework Horatian material and move beyond it; the treatment of ethical, poetic, and aesthetic questions by the two authors; and the problem of literary influence and reception as well as ancient and modern reflections on these problems. While the intertextual contacts between Horace and Seneca themselves lie at the core of this project, it also considers the earlier texts that serve as sources for both authors, intermediary steps in Roman literature, and later texts where connections between the two philosopher-poets are drawn. Although not as obviously palpable as the linkage between authors who share a common generic tradition, this uneven but pervasive relationship can be regarded as one of the most prolific literary interactions between the early Augustan and the Neronian periods. A bidirectional list of correspondences between Horace and Seneca concludes the volume.

Arnobiusz był pisarzem chrześcijańskim przełomu III i IV w., ważnym nie tyle dla rozwoju teologii chrześcijańskiej, bo tu jego zasługi są znikome, ile dla poznania historii, i to nie tylko Kościoła starożytnego, szczególnie w Afryce Północnej, ale także historii rzymskiej okresu późnoantycznego, to znaczy dla poznania recepcji kultury pogańskiej przez chrześcijaństwo oraz dziejów polemiki pogańsko-chrześcijańskiej. […]
Praca jest owocem gruntownego przestudiowania twórczości Arnobiusza i rzadko spotykanej znajomości tak samego dzieła Arnobiusza i świata, w którym żył, jak i tego, co o nim napisano. […] Dochodzi do tego gruntowna znajomość świata i milieu kulturalno-filozoficznego, w którym żył i obracał się Arnobiusz. Ponadto autor w pracy zebrał bardzo dużo istotnych wiadomości i przedstawił dzieło Arnobiusza z wielorakich punktów widzenia.

Ce dossier collectif étudie le sens du toucher relativement au corps et à ses représentations. Ce sujet soulève un certain nombre de questions auxquelles le volume tente de répondre: quels sont les différents types de toucher qui permettent aux individus d'entrer en contact, et quelle est leur signification? Quelle est leur place à la guerre, en amour, dans la religion? Quelle place le toucher occupait-il dans l'imaginaire des Anciens? Comment était-il représenté dans la littérature, dans les spectacles, sur la scène du théâtre? Quel rôle a-t-il joué dans le développement de certaines techniques, comme la science médicale?
