Download or read book Priapeia written by Leonard Smithers and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Priapeia is a collection of ninety-five poems in various meters on subjects pertaining to the phallic god Priapus. It was compiled from literary works and inscriptions on images of the god by an unknown editor, who composed the introductory epigram. From their style and versification it is evident that the poems belong to the classical period of Latin literature. Some, however, may be interpolations of a later period. These poems were posted upon statues of Priapus that stood in the midst of gardens as the protector of the fruits that grew therein. These statues were often crude carvings made from tree trunks. They roughly resembled the form of a man with a huge phallus. The statues also promoted the gardens' fertility. The verses are attributed variously to Virgil, Ovid, and Domitius Marsus. However, most authorities on the matter regard them to have been the work of a group of poets who met at the house of Maecenas, amusing themselves by writing tongue-in-cheek tributes to the garden Priapus. (Maecenas was Horace's patron.) Others, including Martial and Petronius, were thought to have added more verses in imitation of the originals.

Download or read book Hermetica written by Brian P. Copenhaver and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-10-12 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hermetica are a body of theological-philosophical texts written in late antiquity, but long believed to be much older. Their supposed author, Hermes Trismegistus, was thought to be a contemporary of Moses, and the Hermetic philosophy was regarded as an ancient theology, parallel to the received wisdom of the Bible. This first English translation based on reliable texts, together with Brian P. Copenhaver's comprehensive introduction, provide an indispensable resource to scholars in ancient philosophy and religion, early Christianity, Renaissance literature, and history, the history of science, and the occultist tradition in which the Hermetica have become canonical texts.

Book excerpt: An excerpt from the beginning of the INTRODUCTION: “History of the Manuscripts” ONLY three manuscripts of the Cynegetica of Nemesianus are in existence. Of these the best is Parisinus 7561, designated as A by Baehrens and Postgate. This MS. belongs to the tenth century. Parisinus 4839, designated as B by Baehrens, is also a manuscript of the tenth century but is so poor that its readings are of little value. The third MS. which we have is Vindobonensis 3261, designated as C by Baehrens, as by Postgate. This MS. is a work of the sixteenth centiory and contains, besides the Cynegetica of Nemesianus, the Cynegetica of Grattius and the so-called Halieutica of Ovid. Hence the history of this MS. is closely connected with that of the MSS. of Grattius and an extensive treatment of this has been given by H. Schenkl, Zu Grattius und anderen lateinischen Dichtern, Jahrb. f. class. Philol. Suppl. Bd. 24, 387 ff. The Cynegetica of Grattius and the Halieutica of Ovid are found in two old MSS. of the ninth century. The older is Codex Vindobonensis 277, fol. 55-73; the younger is Codex Parisinus 8071 (or Thuaneus) which contains only the first 159 verses of the Cjniegetica of Grattius. The readings of these two MSS. agree to such an extent that M. Haupt, who issued the first critical edition of Grattius and Nemesianus, suspected that the Parisinus was a copy of the Vindobonensis. L. Traube first expressed himself decidedly in favor of the dependence of the Parisian MS. upon Cod. Vindob. 277. This fact is recognized by Schenkl and by F. Vollmer. In the case of the Halieutica and the Cynegetica of Grattius our MS. of the sixteenth century, Vindob. 3261, is also an obvious copy of Codex Vindob. 277. From a note on the fly leaf this MS. claims to be the work of Actius Sincerus Sannazarius. There also exists another MS. of the sixteenth century, containing only the Grattius and the Halieutica, which is evidently the work of the same hand. From a comparison of the readings of these two MSS. Schenkl concludes that Sannazarius must have made two attempts at copying the old MS.; that the copy found in Vindob. 277, fol. 74-83, from its many lacunae and faulty readings, was his first attempt; not content with this he made a second effort at deciphering the old MS. and the results of this we have preserved in Codex Vindob. 3261. The question then arises as to whether the old Cod. Vindob. 277 originally contained also the Cynegetica of Nemesianus and whether it was this MS., containing all three works, which Sannazarius brought to Italy and from which the Aldine edition was printed. This we are led to believe from the words of George Logus who issued the Aldine edition in 1534. He professes that this edition is a copy made by a German youth, Aesiander, from the old codex of Sannazar: "Aesiander quidem ex uetustissimo codice, quod nobilis et cultissimus nostri temporis poeta Accius Syncerus Sannazarius longobardicis Uteris scriptum ex Galliis seciun aliquando attulerat, quam potuit integre et incorrupte descripsit (i.e. Grattius) una cum autoribus illi coniunctis (i.e. the Cynegetica of Nemesianus and Halieutica of Ovid)." According to the words of Logus, Aesiander copied the three poems from the old codex of Sannazar which he had brought from Gaul. We have other evidence supporting the fact that Sannazarius brought the three poems together to Italy. Lilius Gyraldus, Historia poetarum Dial. 4, says: "Sed quod Cynegetica Gratius scripserit, Actius Sanazarus mihi aliisque pluribus asseruit et ostendit cum Neapoli animi gratia ex urbe profecti essemus: se enim ex Heduorum finibus atque e Turonibus detulisse opusculum de piscibus Ouidii et Cynegetica Gratii et Nemesiani. Id quod etiam suo scripto testatus est Pontanus quadam sua epistola ad ipsum Actitim et P. Summontius." From the letter of Pontanus to Sannazarius, to which Gyraldus refers...

Download or read book Herodotus Histories Book IX written by Herodotus and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-12-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book IX of Herodotus' Histories provides the conclusion and climax to his work, as the victories at Plataea and Mycale complete the improbable Greek victory over Persia. The major themes of the work are all here echoed, modified, and revisited, and Book IX is thus essential for exploring its meaning (or range of possible meanings). This commentary, the first in English devoted solely to Book IX in over a century, treats Herodotus' work as both an historical narrative and a work of literature, incorporating the results of recent scholarly work in the fields of Greek history and historiography. It contains a Greek text together with detailed philological, literary, and historical notes designed to assist the intermediate and advanced Greek student. It will also be of use to graduate students and scholars.
