Book The Periplus of Hanno

Download or read book The Periplus of Hanno written by Hanno and published by . This book was released on with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the only surviving complete documents from the great city of Carthage, written by the admiral Hanno at the height of his city's power, this remarkable work describes the fifth century BC attempt to reach the equator by sailing south along the African coast. The author, who also reigned as king of Carthage from 480 until 440 BC, was sent out at the head of a large fleet of ships to explore and colonize the northwestern coast of Africa. He reached as far south as the present-day African state of Gambia, and as he traveled, described the native people he encountered-for all of whom he was without doubt the first white person they had ever seen. Hanno's short account was copied by an unknown Greek traveler, and in this way the document was spared the subsequent total destruction of Carthage by Rome following the last Punic War. This edition contains a number of accompanying essays by historians which put Hanno's work into historical perspective. They include a chronological account of Carthage's rise and fall, a description of the route taken by Hanno, a detailed account of the city of Carthage and its population, empire, and trading partners-and its ultimately fateful interaction with the Africans. A highly complete and satisfying work of a long-hidden historical period, now completely reset and illustrated.

Book Tenue est mendacium

Download or read book Tenue est mendacium written by Klaus Lennartz and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many new and fruitful avenues of investigation open up when scholars consider forgery as a creative act rather than a crime. We invited authors to contribute work without imposing any restrictions beyond a willingness to consider new approaches to the subject of ancient fakes, forgeries, and questions of authenticity. The result is this volume, in which our aim is to display some of the many possibilities available to scholarship. The exposure of fraud and the pursuit of truth may still be valid scholarly goals, but they implicitly demand that we confront the status of any text as a focal point for matters of belief and conviction. Recent approaches to forgery have begun to ask new questions, some intended purely for the sake of debate: Ought we to consider any author to have some inherent authenticity that precludes the possibility of a forger's successful parody? If every fake text has a real context, what can be learned about the cultural circumstances which give rise to forgeries? If every real text can potentially engender a parallel history of fakes, what can this alternative narrative teach us? What epistemological prejudices can lead us to swear a fake is genuine, or dismiss the real thing as inauthentic? Following Splendide Mendax and Animo Decipiendi?, this is the latest installment of an ongoing inquiry, conducted by scholars in numerous countries, into how the ancient world - its literature and culture, its history and art - appears when viewed through the lens of fakes and forgeries, sincerities and authenticities, genuine signatures and pseudepigrapha. How does scholarship tell the truth if evidence doesn't? But fabula docet: The falsum does not simply make the great, annoying stone before the door of the truth (otherwise this here would really be a "council of antiquarians and paleographers"). The falsum makes a delicate, fine tissue. It allows the verum to shine through, in nuances and reliefs that were less noticeable without its counterpart, really tied at the head. And, treated differentiated, it becomes even itself perlucidum, shines out with "hidden values."
