Grande battistrada dell’umanesimo, grande teologo, due volte patriarca ecumenico, pugnace avversario delle aspirazioni romane al primato, è considerato dal mondo cattolico pur sempre come un avversario, mentre dal mondo ortodosso solo tardi fu assunto come santo. Il suo nome è legato, per gli studiosi della letteratura greca antica e protobizantina, all’imponente repertorio, definito sommariamente Biblioteca, che in 280 capitoli riassume, analizza, sottopone a critica e in larga parte trascrive varie centinaia di autori: profani e cristiani, molto spesso per noi altrimenti perduti. La Biblioteca non era certo destinata alla circolazione libraria: nacque come strumento di difesa della cerchia raccoltasi intorno al patriarca e variamente bersagliata dall’ala oltranzista della Chiesa d’Oriente. L’opera alla quale egli probabilmente intendeva legare il suo nome era semmai l’intensa pubblicistica teologica e dottrinaria che occupa quasi per intero un paio di tomi della Patrologia greca. In questo volume viene finalmente offerta ai lettori la prima traduzione italiana integrale della Biblioteca. Al tempo stesso un commento sistematico ed essenziale accompagna il lettore nella selva fittissima della erudizione racchiusa in questo autentico «tesoro», come i grandi umanisti amarono definire la Biblioteca foziana. A fronte figura il testo greco, migliorato rispetto all’unica moderna edizione circolante, quella della “Collection Budé”. Al termine, l’indice analitico di Immanuel Bekker fornisce al lettore una preziosa chiave per la consultazione.

Questa opinione, invalsa per secoli, fu confutata con rigoroso metodo alla fine del Cinquecento da un filologo di fede calvinista, Johannes Opsopoeus, che per questa ragione fu fatto oggetto di persecuzioni e fu infine messo in ombra dal sorgente astro di Casaubon. Sulla base di documenti nuovi o da tempo obliati, il presente studio ne ripercorre la vicenda umana e culturale, per fare luce su un episodio dimenticato tra le pieghe delle sanguinose guerre di religione che in quegli anni infiammarono la Francia.

Di recente, al geografo efesino è stato erroneamente attribuito un papiro di ignota origine e, con esso, pensieri ed informazioni del tutto incompatibili con quanto di lui già sapevamo: questo clamoroso episodio è solo l'ultimo atto di una vicenda che, attraverso i secoli, ha pian piano deformato il volto del nostro autore.
Questo libro si propone di ricostruire il metodo di lavoro di Artemidoro attraverso l'analisi di alcuni suoi frammenti molto significativi. Artemidoro scelse di non restar chiuso in una biblioteca a compulsare fonti scritte, ma si aprì alla conoscenza diretta dei luoghi e delle persone che li abitano, durante la fase montante dell'imperialismo romano.

Beyond the phantasmagorical inventions both in narrative situations and in language, an affirmative answer may be given if the deep meaning of the novels is brought back to the constantly underlying Lucretian model (both direct and mediated by Gassendi’s teaching). Such philosophical model operates not only with regards to physics and gnoseology, as it is already ascertained, but also to ethics and politics. Understanding the novels, and the rest of Cyrano’s production, through the Lucretian lens also allows us to define his criticism of political institutions within more precise boundaries.

Aubrey Diller claimed this fragment to be a fake, since he observed that some of the other extracts have a richer text than what we already know by different sources. A more careful examination of the manuscripts containing this collection of extracts lets us understand that it is not a fake, but the end point of a rather troubled tradition, which can be traced back to the activity of Photius’ circle: it seems to be a file that escaped the dispersion caused by Photius’ arrest and that, for some reason, did not enter the Library. The authenticity of the writings preserved in this collection must therefore be judged in the light of the study habits of Photius’ circle.

They are usually considered to be extracts from the same work because they had all been assigned to the peripatetic philosopher Dicaearchus of Messana’s geographical writings until the early nineteenth century, for different reasons (a manuscript witness for two fragments, a conjecture for the third one). Unfortunately, after this attribution was discarded, the belonging of the fragments to the same writing has not been questioned anymore. The fact that fr. II and fr. III are copied in sequence in a thirteenth century manuscript is not enough to prove their common origin, if we consider the anthological content of the codex. Thus, only fr. II may be ascribed to Heraclides, while the other two may not.

On the contrary, its knowledge had been widely circulated among Neoplatonic philosophers and theurgists of previous generations, especially in Athens. According to Richard Sorabji, a deal was arranged between Ammonius and the Christian Alexandrian authorities, who spared him from the anti-pagan prosecution, provided that he did away with pagan worship in his teaching. Such prudence seems to have been applied by some of Ammonius’ pupils, chiefly by the Christian John Philoponus. While his interest in the theurgic Neoplatonic tradition can be somehow recognized, a certain discomfort in defining the logic foundation of the pagan prophecy occasionally emerges in his philosophic production: such uneasiness is more striking if we consider that the reuse of pagan oracles for Christian purposes was far from uncommon in Egypt and Palestine in that period. A closer examination of Philoponus’ references to the topic shows a development, although not so apparent, which goes along with his progressive questioning of some of the cornerstones of the Greek, mainly Aristotelian physics. In fact, the pagan practice of divination implies a sort of link between matter and divine realities that neither the Aristotelian philosophy nor the Christian idea of transcendence can admit, according to Philoponus.

He tried to mix the study of literary sources with the archeologic and epigraphic evidence and remarked the necessity of understanding the morphological evolution of the landscape through ages: in this regard, he may have been indebted to the contemporary debate in France about the methodological interaction between ancient and modern geography.

Studying the quotations from Latin sources in the Tria syntagmata may show how the author meant to call Greek and Latin communities back to the unity of teaching of early Christians ; usually, Nicholas-Nektarios reads his Latin sources through Greek versions or other intermediaries, but sometimes the direct approach to the original Latin text can be proved. His attempt at publishing the work in Greek and Latin at the same time raises some difficult philological issues.

Gobar": we can gather no more information about him from other sources. Recent research proposed an effective interpretation of some of Gobar's thoughts on the background of sixth-century theological controversies in Egypt: now we may better perceive what his work may have been like, although it stays somehow mysterious; and we may also grasp the reasons why Photius had such a lively interest in debates arising from Origen's eschatological doctrines. Some issues raised by the iconoclastic controversy - one may assume - sparked Photius' interest in the nature and consistency of the glorious body.

The aim of this paper is to identify a strong Epicurean, and mainly Lucretian influence on this topic, not only as regards the thesis of the natural genesis of language, but also as regards its implications on the author’s view of the place of man in nature. This also makes the connections between Cyrano and his libertine milieu more evident.

It should rather recall the image of a construction site with its scaffolding and piles of bricks, and with its plentiful uncovered pits. As on the building site of a medieval cathedral, every worker lays his pavement or polishes up his column knowing that one day a majestic edifice will rise and that it will be as accomplished and solid as is the least element of its structure. The reader can imagine the edifice as he reads through the articles collected under this cover, but in this age when syntheses abound it was not the editor’s aim to develop another one. The contributions to the volume, regrouped in five sections, explore various aspects of institutional, political and cultural life of the century producing unpublished material and new insights on some much debated topics.
