Concordia

Concordato preventivo con cessione dei beni: il liquidatore giudiziale, in oltre otto mesi, non si è mai attivato per organizzare l'asta per la vendita degli immobili facenti parte del concordato e si è, infine, dimesso. Può il debitore ottenere un risarcimento o comunque agire per far valere un inadempimento del liquidatore?

O texto apresentado nesta edição do Catálogo das Testemunhas é o mesmo presente na Concordia Triglotta de Bente, edição de 1921. Mas foi consultado também o The Book of Concord-Readers Edition de 2006, editado pela CPH. O texto dos "Pais" foi traduzido do original grego e latino, respectivamente. As introduções dos tópicos são baseadas no texto latino, fazendo referência ao texto germânico sempre que necessário. O texto deste Catálogo das Testemunhas procura manter a tonalidade mais formal da nossa edição Livro de Concórdia, mas sem comprometer o entendimento claro. Sempre que o texto germânico oferecer uma clareza para o texto dos "Pais", então será destacado em [colchetes] e com nota de rodapé. Quando o texto latino apresenta uma complementação do texto grego ou uma expressão se faz necessária para a clareza do texto, então o termo estará também em [colchetes]. Os (parênteses) são originais do texto dos "Pais" ou do texto latino. Algumas vezes eles aparecerão na tradução para indicar uma nota da edição original do Catálogo, mas são facilmente conferidos com o texto abaixo. Em partes específicas, os parênteses serão empregados juntamente com um "t.", isso indica uma coerência interna das citações e outra possível tradução. Quando os Confessores que editaram o Catálogo usarem parênteses, este será respeitado. As referências às obras originais foram mantidas. Os Confessores que editaram o Catálogo já haviam colocado o nome original do escrito, se qualquer leitor quiser buscar o texto completo, será possível. Mas, em breve, serão adicionadas as referências às edições críticas e mais recentes dos "Pais". Nesta edição, foi adicionada a numeração dos parágrafos, facilitando para o leitor referenciar os textos. Qualquer outra informação referente a um testemunho será expressa em nota de rodapé. Qualquer crítica ou sugestão de tradução que o leitor queira nos enviar será bem-vinda e estudada cuidadosamente. A tradução do texto germânico das Escrituras ainda será adicionada junto ao texto latino, já incluído. Os textos já estão referenciados, o leitor pode conferi-los na tradução que preferir. Cabe ainda uma palavra de agradecimento ao Dr. Vilson Scholz, ele que sugeriu, incentivou e auxiliou na tradução deste Catálogo. Todos quantos que desejam usar este catálogo em aulas, trabalhos e semelhantes, lhes é permitido. Moacyr Alves Jr.

The history of concord as a political concept registers its progressive fading. As a central element in the foundation of the political community, as it was in Greek thought, concord becomes the goal to be reached and it is confused with social stability and peace. After a brief analysis of the thought of Hobbes and Locke on political concord, Rawls's thought is examined with particular attention. One wonders if overlapping consensus can be considered as a form of political concord. The results of this investigation lead us to ask whether political concord should be sought in common political values or in the participation in a cooperative deliberation on common choices and actions, as had been somehow prefigured by Aristotle.

In light of new textual evidence in a manuscript from Toledo (BCT, MS 19, 26), the present work intends to determine the scope of Nicholas de Cusa’s influence on Giovanni Pico della Mirandola around the problem of the unity of truth and the diversity of philosophies. In his Individuum und Kosmos in der Philosophie der Renaissance (1927), Ernst Cassirer held the capital role of Cusanus’ philosophy in the configuration of the philosophical turn in Florentine Humanism during the second half of the Quattrocento. In the 1960s, historians of the stature of Eugenio Garin and Paul Oskar Kristeller objected Cassirer's assertions, going so far as to affirm that there was practically no influence by Cusanus on Marsilio Ficino and Giovanni Pico. In the case of the latter, more recent studies tended to balance the issue, pointing out several possible links between both authors, particularly through the physician and bibliophile Pierleone da Spoleto, who owned many works by the German cardinal. Some sections of Pico's Oratio, Conclusiones and other texts will be analyzed in comparison with those treatises by Cusanus which he most likely knew. For both authors, it is the unity of the incomprehensible truth that brings forth the different modes of philosophizing in the plurality of thought traditions.
Resumen:
A la luz de nuevas evidencias textuales en un manuscrito de Toledo (BCT, MS 19, 26), el presente trabajo se propone investigar los alcances de la influencia de Nicolás de Cusa sobre Giovanni Pico della Mirandola en torno del problema de la unidad de la verdad y la diversidad de las filosofías. En su obra de 1927, Individuum und Kosmos in der Philosophie der Renaissance, Ernst Cassirer sostenía el rol capital de la filosofía de Nicolás de Cusa en la configuración del humanismo filosófico florentino de la segunda mitad del Quattrocento. En la década del 60, historiadores de la talla de Eugenio Garin y Paul Oskar Kristeller matizaron las afirmaciones de Cassirer hasta afirmar una influencia prácticamente nula del Cusano sobre Marsilio Ficino y Giovanni Pico. En el caso de este último, estudios más recientes tendieron a equilibrar la cuestión, señalando varios posibles puntos de contacto entre ambos autores, particularmente por intermedio del médico y bibliófilo Pierleone da Spoleto, que poseía muchas obras del cardenal alemán. Se analizarán algunas secciones de la Oratio, de las Conclusiones y de otros textos de Pico en comparación con aquellos tratados del Cusano que muy probablemente haya conocido. Para ambos autores, es la unidad de la incomprensible verdad la que suscita los diversos modos del filosofar en la pluralidad de tradiciones de pensamiento.

This dissertation explores the idea of Parallelism within Livy's presentation of the Life of Romulus, focusing on three liminal stages : The death of Remus, the rape of the Sabine women, and the death of Romulus.

Focus is placed on a detailed comparitive analysis of the work of Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and of the surviving sources (largely fragmentary) which predate Livy's work. Once this is done, the aspects which only seem to apper in Livys work are analysed along side supplimentray modern scholarship on the chapter topics.

The conclusions of this research indicate that one of the possible intentions of Livy in writing the early histroy of Rome was to create parallels to the events of his own time, specifically the Roman civil war. This is argued to have been undertaken with the aim of creating an understaning of how these events occured, what could have been done to prevent them form occuring, and the processes which contributed to the conclusion of the civil war.

Las relaciones de vecindad entre Ciudad Rodrigo y las villas de Ribacôa, cimentadas en la concordia de 1510, se resentían en ocasiones por la corta de leña furtiva en el pinar de  Azaba, un espacio forestal de la tierra mirobrigense en la Raya de Portugal. Las quejas del concejo de Ciudad Rodrigo llegaron al rey don Sebastián, que comisionó a Pedro da Silva para que se desplazara a Ribacôa, proveyera sobre la tala clandestina e hiciera guardar y cumplir la concordia.

Les recherches archéologiques menées à Sidi Khlifa, l’antique Pheradi Maius, ont abouti au dégagement entier du forum. Parmi les monuments mis au jour le long de cette place, figure la curia ordinis, identifiée grâce à une inscription métrique inédite trouvée in situ. Le contenu de cette inscription étant assez complexe, un commentaire en propose les différentes interprétations possibles. On retiendra qu’il y est fait mention d’un aristocrate local dénommé Patricius et de la place prise au sein de la curie par la concordia en tant que  vertu personnifiée qui maintient la cohésion sociale et met un terme aux conflits. Tout dans l’inscription – paléographie, vocabulaire, tournure latine, onomastique – conduit à la dater de l’époque tardo-antique (IVe ou Ve siècle ap. J.-C.). Une autre inscription inédite, trouvée quant à elle sur la colline sacrée, est elle aussi de compréhension difficile ; elle apporte deux informations importantes : d’une part l’existence de liens entre Pheradi et la cité voisine d’Uppenna ; d’autre part l’identification d’un monument avec un complexe religieux qui portait probablement le nom de templa concordiae comme à Thugga.
Summary: Archaeological excavations at Sidi Khlifa, the ancient Pheradi Maius, uncovered the entire forum. Among the monuments located along this square is the curia ordinis, identified by an unpublished verse inscription found in situ. The content of this inscription is quite complex and this paper aims to offer the various possible interpretations of it. We note the mention of a local aristocrat called Patricius and of the part in the curia played by concordia as a personified virtue that maintains social cohesion and puts an end to conflicts. Everything in the inscription - palaeography, vocabulary, Latin idiom, onomastics – suggests that it dates to Late Antiquity (4th or 5th century AD). Another unpublished inscription, found on the sacred hill, is also difficult to understand; it contains two important pieces of information: on the one hand the existence of links between Pheradi and the neighboring city of Uppenna; on the other hand the identification of a monument with a religious complex which was probably named templa concordiae as in Thugga.

Transcripción, estudio lingüístico y edición de la Concordia original del año 1624, acta notarial redactada en 1624, pero firmada por el rey Felipe IV en 1629, y otorgada por la villa de Alcañiz a los entonces barrios de Valdealgorfa, Valjunquera y La Codoñera, en la que se recogen las leyes civiles y normas de hermandad para el buen entendimiento entre dicha villa y estos pueblos o aldeas de alrededor.

Through an examination of the pope's own church, the Cathedral of Rome, this study redefines a critical moment in the history of art between the Renaissance and the baroque. The first basilica built by Constantine the Great, San Giovanni in Laterano was the undisputed center of Christendom throughout the Middle Ages. With the transfer of the official papal residence to the Vatican in the Renaissance, however, Saint Peter's graudally absorbed the Lateran's historical preeminence. At the height of the Counter-Reformation, with concern for the Church's early Christian heritage at its peak, Pope Clement VIII (1592-1605) lavishly restored Constantine's church and revived its spiritual authority. Clement's vision, expressed through artistic means, exalts the perpetual Christian triumph embodied in the Lateran.

This paper explores a distinctive feature of Roman religion: for each relevant area of Roman life, there are peculiar gods with matched powers. In particular, I focus on nine divinities known to scholarship as "abstract divinities" or "personifications": Concordia, Fides, Honos, Mens, Pietas, Pudicitia, Salus, Victoria and Virtus. They enjoy a special place in the Roman pantheon and we should instead name them "ideal divinities" since they really are a part of a whole in the divine taxonomy. They are in accordance with an anthropological pattern of attitudes and serve, as it were, as a handbook for the Roman citizen. I analyze the main attributes of these divinities as the Romans themselves described them: virtues that have a human essence and are functional for the community. There is also a slight distinction to be made. Some of them are intrinsic to humankind, while others are what every citizen is supposed to aim for. I also scrutinize the history of the subject matter: whereas I agree with categorizing such gods as "personifications", I strongly believe that designating them as abstract or concrete is not practicable.

This paper examines the relation between Pythagorean and Heraclitean political views. I argue that for Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Archytas the cosmological and musical notions of harmony (ἁρμονία) and the related notion of concord (ὁμόνοια) have an intrinsic political significance. These thinkers variously reflect upon political harmony and concord, and agree that a crucial condition for it is law (νόμος), which according to Pythagoras and Heraclitus has a divine origin. I begin with the Heraclitean fragments 22 B51, 54, 72, and 114 DK, in which social and political reflection is connected with the theory of the harmony of opposites. In the case of Pythagoras and early Pythagoreanism, the intense, albeit indirect political influence in Magna Graecia—as transmitted by Iamblichus and Porphyry—offers evidence for social and political ideas determined by a reflection on the cosmological role of harmony and number. Finally, Archytas’ political application of rational calculation in fragment 47 B3 DK, which aims at producing concord by establishing the just measures of wealth in the city, together with the testimony on Archytas’ intense and fruitful political activity, can be taken as confirmation that the thinker’s wider cosmological views were indeed intertwined with his political reflection and action.

The reverse figures on two coin types of Julia Domna (RIC 380 and 381) have been identified as either the empress herself or a personification of Pax. This article offers a third possibility. By examining numismatic evidence pertaining to the empress in the context of the fraught period of Caracalla and Geta’s joint rule of the empire, I will argue that the most likely identity of the personification depicted on RIC 380 and 381 is that of Concordia. This identification fits more comfortably with the rest of the numismatic corpus for the period, and also makes greater sense when considered in the midst of the intense rivalry observed between the young Augusti in months preceding Geta’s eventual murder.

This book examines ancient Roman statues and their bases, tombs, dedicatory altars, and panels commemorating gifts of civic beneficence made by the Augustales, civic groups composed primarily of wealthy ex-slaves. Margaret L. Laird examines how these monuments functioned as protagonists in their built and social environments by focusing on archaeologically attested commissions made by the Augustales in Roman Italian towns. Integrating methodologies from art history, architectural history, social history, and epigraphy with archaeological and sociological theories of community, she considers how dedications and their accompanying inscriptions created webs of association and transformed places of display into sites of local history. Understanding how these objects functioned in ancient cities, the book argues, illuminates how ordinary Romans combined public lettering, honorific portraits, emperor worship, and civic philanthropy to express their communal identities.

BABATUNDE, SAMUEL A This study is a comparative examination of English concord use between English as a first language (EFL) and English as second language (ESL) speakers in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area, Lagos, Nigeria. Linguists are of the view that speakers of English as a second language already have a mother tongue as the first language while English as first language speakers have English as their mother tongue. This new native speakers of English in Nigeria propelled the researcher to do a comparative investigation of the English grammatical acompetence between EFL and ESL speakers in Nigeria. A simple survey design was adopted for the study to compare the grammatical (concord) of two hundred secondary school students from private and public schools in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area, Lagos state. Fifty objective questions were set with different types of English concord and used as the test instrument. A simple percentage was adopted for the analysis of the students' errors and 35 marks and above was used to indicate competence in the use of concord. Findings revealed that the English as first language speakers were better at the use of English concord but they were not competent as the native speakers of English. The English as second language speakers on the other hand, were neither good nor competent at the use of concord. It can therefore be inferred that the subjects had not properly mastered the use of English concord. Different factors contributed to the lack of competence in the two speakers such that the ESL speakers had the transfer of mother tongue to the English language while the EFL speakers were mixing the standard and substandard English intermittently. It was recommended that English teachers need to be professionally trained to guide learners appropriately in the use of English and parents should ensure that the Standard English is used at home.

After offering a short survey of the history of the concept of Concord/Eintracht in the german area and in the modern age (ca. 1550-1800), the article focuses on the political models proposed, respectively, in the early romanticism by Novalis (Christianity or Europe, 1799) and at in the later romanticism by F. Schlegel (Concordia 1820). Both models are conservative, monarchical-corporative and catholic, but a closer examination and comparison reveals important differences, first and foremost on the political meaning of the idealised Middle Ages.

Dans certaines sources datant de la fin de la République, la famille est considérée comme la cellule primordiale de la cité. Dans ce cadre, le terme concordia est utilisé pour caractériser la relation idéale entre certains parents, à savoir le pater familias dans ses rapports avec son fils magistrat et surtout avec son épouse. Les auteurs de nos sources interrogeaient la capacité du pater familias, par son autorité, à susciter l’obéissance volontaire de ceux qui bénéficiaient, dans le groupe de ses dépendants, d’une relative liberté. Cette capacité du pater familias à établir la concordia avec ses dépendants, et ainsi à construire cet idéal des relations entre personnes libres par l’exercice de son autorité, constituait le fondement de sa prétention à l’établir avec l’ensemble de ses concitoyens dans l’espace public.

Réédition de l'article paru dans la Revue des Études Anciennes, 2016

Concordia is doubtless one of the most important words which can be found in Cassiodorus' or Ennodius' works. It is used to refer to the correspondence with famous men, to condemn the clashes between different senatorial factions, to solicit the collaboration between Senate and Goths, to recount the Laurentian Schism's consequences and, above all, to describe the relations between Theoderic and emperors or kings of different Germanic peoples. After studying all concordia and discordia's occurrences, it is understood that these words were used particularly in relation to men belonging to the senatorial class, to kings and emperors or to strengthen the ties of alliance between different peoples. In Cassiodorus concordia between souvreigns, which semantically is often close to the concepts of pax and amicitia, is always a mirror of the harmony between their kingdoms, which was the real purpose of Theodoric, whereas in Ennodius concordia is often referred to kings, not to their peoples, and it encompasses also the concept of fides, which becomes perfidia if we analyze the occurrences of discordia.

L’articolo cerca di mostrare come Livio, nella prima decade, usi il termine concordia mutuandone il significato prevalente (allineamento parziale fra patrizi e plebei) da una terminologia politica formatasi in gran parte in età sillana, e come tale entrata nelle fonti usate dal patavino. Tuttavia, l’uso liviano di concordia rimane peculiare, privilegiando – almeno nei primi libri – l’aspetto del dibattito e del mutamento costruttivo nella politica repubblicana arcaica. In questo, Livio sembra distaccarsi anche dal significato (o dal significato prevalente) assunto da concordia in età augustea, con accezione famigliare. Anche questa caratterizzazione contribuisce, dunque, a definire l’immagine di Livio come di uno storico non “allineato” né “copiatore” delle sue fonti, bensì attivo interprete, entro
le sue possibilità, della storia romana repubblicana.
