Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quintilian's Didactic Metaphors: A Thesis for the Doctorate in Philosophy The object of this study is to learn to what extent Quin tilian was able to stem the tide that was fast sweeping Latin literature to its decadence. To do this, we must reinstate this great master of Latin prose in his environment, as the epoch is an important factor in elucidating the work of an author, but Quintilian is an author incidentally, a modest schoolmaster in the main, whose life work seemed to be to array all his forces against the prevailing sententious style of his day; yet, he too, falls at times into the epigrammatic fashion he so much deplored.

Download or read book Bringing in the Sheaves written by Brent Shaw and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annual harvesting of cereal crops was one of the most important economic tasks in the Roman Empire. Not only was it urgent and critical for the survival of state and society, it mobilized huge numbers of men and women every year from across the whole face of the Mediterranean. In Bringing in the Sheaves, Brent D. Shaw investigates the ways in which human labour interacted with the instruments of harvesting, what part the workers and their tools had in the whole economy, and how the work itself was organized. Both collective and individual aspects of the story are investigated, centred on the life-story of a single reaper whose work in the wheat fields of North Africa is documented in his funerary epitaph. The narrative then proceeds to an analysis of the ways in which this cyclical human behaviour formed and influenced modes of thinking about matters beyond the harvest. The work features an edition of the reaper inscription, and a commentary on it. It is also lavishly illustrated to demonstrate the important iconic and pictorial dimensions of the story.
Download or read book The Limits of Exactitude in Greek Roman and Byzantine Literature and Textual Transmission written by Nicoletta Bruno and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on Calvino’s observations on Exactitude in Six Memos for the Next Millennium, the present book elucidates on the possible definitions of exactitude, the endeavor of reaching exactitude, and the undeniable limits to the achievement of this ambitious milestone. The eighteen essays in this interdisciplinary volume show how ancient and medieval authors have been dealing with the problem of exactitude vs. inexactitude and have been able to exploit the ambiguities related to these two concepts to various ends. The articles focus on rhetoric and historiography (section I), exact sciences and technical disciplines (II), the peculiarity of quotations (III), cases of programmatic inexactitude (IV) and textual transmission (V). Several interconnected questions weave a net across the volume: to what extent is exactitude the goal in ancient and medieval texts? How can the concepts of accuracy and inaccuracy aid the reinterpretation of an already known text or fact? To what extent can certain definitions of exactitude be stretched, without turning into inexactitude? The volume presents an extensive study capable of highlighting the shrewdness and aptness of the concepts introduced by Calvino more than thirty years ago.
Download or read book The Stylus and the Scalpel written by Tommaso Gazzarri and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seneca’s developed metaphors draw on what is known to describe the unknown. They put hard ethical in highly accessible, and often quite entertaining, terms. The present book provides a functional description of Seneca’s dialectical relation between metaphorical language and philosophy. It shows how Stoic philosophy finds a new means of expression in Seneca’s highly elaborated rhetorical discourse, and how this relates to the social and cultural demands of Neronian culture. Metaphors are purposely utilized to work "collectively" rather than by category or type and that, therefore, the analysis of what metaphors do when Seneca chooses to combine them in clusters, demonstrates the existence of a "metanarrative of rhetoric". This approach is fundamentally innovative and has the advantage of gauging the functioning of Senecan style as a whole, rather than focusing on single features of its rhetorical functioning. The main target is to show how philosophical preaching materially contributes to the healing of human soul because it shapes the individual’s cognitive faculty in a way that is physical and not simply figurative. The stylus and the scalpel blend in their functions. This kind of therapy is not just the simulacrum of a more "real" one, it is in itself medical in nature.
