This encyclopaedia, compiled around 530 AD,is more or less the
Byzantine Encyclopaedia Britannica of the ancient world. It lists
some 3,600 names of places, mountains, lakes, rivers, waters and

legends and wealth of cultural historical information contained in
it make it a source text for polis research; in addition, it is a

This comprehensive geographical encyclopaedia, compiled around 530
A.D., catalogues some 3,600 names of places, mountains, lakes,
rivers, waters and peoples from the ancient world. Particular
attention is paid to the etymology of names and the grammatical
derivations of the Ethnika . For cultural historical information -
here with the evidence of the attributed quotations - Stephanos is
often the sole source. This new critical edition replaces A.
Meineke's long obsolete edition of 1849. The text of the directly
recorded epitomes is accompanied by an apparatus of parallel terms
which takes account of both the sources of the encyclopaedia and
its later users. This first translation of the encyclopaedia in a
modern language and the notes (particularly on language, onomastics
and topography) open up the work to a wide circle of scholars
engaged in studies of antiquity. Volume 2 (delta - kappa) is
planned for publication in 2008, volumes 3 and 4 in 2012 and 2015
respectively.

Tra le 6 coppie tematiche di inni in cui puo essere suddiviso il
Cathemerinon di Prudenzio, quella formata dagli inni 9 (Hymnus
omnis horae) e 10 (Hymnus circa exequias defuncti) e stata spesso
considerata la piu debole, alla quale si arrivava quasi "per
esclusione" dopo aver definito le altre cinque. Questo studio, che
affianca ad una introduzione generale sulla vita e le opere di
Prudenzio un ampio e dettagliato commento ai due singoli inni
corredato di una nuova traduzione, cerca di scandagliare le fonti
sia letterarie che teologiche che costituiscono la base su cui il
poeta costruisce la propria opera. Cosi facendo, ci si propone di
fornire una nuova chiave d'interpretazione che permetta una piu
profonda comprensione dei due testi, mettendone in luce l'unita di
fondo e chiarendone il ruolo di inni pasquali all'interno del
Cathemerinon.
L'art narratif a-t-il pour mission d'orienter et de modifier les
pensees et l'affectivite des lecteurs ? C'est l'un des projets que
Longos assigne a sa fiction, en un prologue ou il demarque
l'ambition instructive de Thucydide. Il desire ainsi rivaliser avec
une peinture. Dans la description de celle-ci, les circonstances
pastorales ne sont indiquees que comme un episode, dont la
situation chronologique est incertaine, parmi les aventures
figurees. Pourtant, l'histoire de Daphnis et Chloe raconte
l'apprentissage de l'amour et le mariage de deux jeunes pastoureaux
dans un cadre campagnard. S'agit-il d'une mise en scene romanesque
de themes de la poesie bucolique ? Ce livre analyse les multiples
emprunts de Longos a la tradition litteraire, a l'historiographie,
mais aussi aux differents genres poetiques (epique, hymnique,
lyrique, bucolique, epigrammatique), au theatre, a Platon, a
Plutarque, et sa participation aux debats de la critique
litteraire. De telles analyses montrent comment Longos joue du
decalage, de la transposition, du paradoxe, de l'inversion, du
contraste et de la contradiction, afin d'illustrer une esthetique
litteraire et de defendre une conception morale et religieuse
associee a un mythe paradisiaque.
