Studentský manuál, který obsahuje pokyny doprovázející každou kapitolu učebnice FAMILIA ROMANA. Tyto instrukce mají být studovány až po pozorném přečtení (ať už tak někdo učiní s pomocí učitele, nebo sám) příslušných kapitol. Poskytují studentovi nejen užitečné shrnutí historické látky i zvyků objevujících se ve vyprávění o Juliovi a jeho rodině, ale také a především pojednání o morfologii, syntaxi a slovech, s nimiž se setkává kapitolu po kapitole.

Providing a comprehensive and accessible orientation to the field of medieval manuscript studies, this lavishly illustrated book by Raymond Clemens and Timothy Graham is unique among handbooks on paleography, codicology, and manuscript illumination in its scope and level of detail. It will be of immeasurable help to students in history, art history, literature, and religious studies who are encountering medieval manuscripts for the first time, while also appealing to advanced scholars and general readers interested in the history of the book before the age of print.
Introduction to Manuscript Studies features three sections:
• Part 1, "Making the Medieval Manuscript," offers an in-depth examination of the process of manuscript production, from the preparation of the writing surface through the stages of copying the text, rubrication, decoration, glossing, and annotation to the binding and storage of the completed codex.
• Part 2, "Reading the Medieval Manuscript," focuses on the skills necessary for the successful study of manuscripts, with chapters on transcribing and editing; reading texts damaged by fire, water, insects, and other factors; assessing evidence for origin and provenance; and describing and cataloguing manuscripts. This part ends with a survey of sixteen medieval scripts dating from the eighth to the fifteenth century.
• Part 3, "Some Manuscript Genres," provides an analysis of several of the most frequently encountered types of medieval manuscripts, including Bibles and biblical concordances, liturgical service books, Books of Hours, charters and cartularies, maps, and rolls and scrolls. The book concludes with an extensive glossary, a guide to dictionaries of medieval Latin, and a bibliography subdivided and keyed to the subsections of the volume's chapters.
Every chapter in this magisterial guidebook features numerous color plates that exemplify each aspect described in the text and are drawn primarily from the collections of the Newberry Library in Chicago and the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.

Le présent ouvrage a pour objectif d’initier les étudiants à la grammaire comparée en prenant le cas du latin et du grec. Il présente un bref historique de la méthode comparative concernant les langues indo-européennes, de son fonctionnement et des résultats auxquels on aboutit à propos de l’indo-européen. Le corps du manuel consiste en une présentation de l’évolution de l’indo-européen vers le latin et vers le grec, avec des exercices : en partant des étymons indo-européens (théorie de la racine d’Émile Benveniste) on analyse les transformations dans les domaines de la phonétique et de la formation des mots (suffixation, préfixation).

Pour permettre aux étudiants de disposer des outils nécessaires, sont fournis des éléments bibliographiques qui permettent d’approfondir le travail sur les points abordés dans l’ouvrage, les corrigés des exercices proposés ainsi que des tableaux récapitulatifs de phonétique (indo-européenne, latine, grecque), deux lexiques des principaux étymons indo-européens, la liste des principaux suffixes et celle des préfixes.

Public cible
L'ouvrage s'adresse à tout public qui s'intéresse à l'histoire des langues indo-européennes, dans une perspective comparatiste, avec l'exemple du latin et du grec ; il convient particulièrement à un public universitaire, étudiants qui travaillent sur la linguistique latine ou grecque et sur l'histoire des langues, en Lettres ou en Sciences du langage. Il sera également fort utile pour la préparation des concours de l'Agrégation de Grammaire, Lettres classiques ou Lettres modernes.

Rafael Landívar is the best known of all the poets from the Americas to write in Latin. In the Rusticatio Mexicana (1782), his masterpiece of didactic poetry, he drew extensively from Greek and Roman literature to describe in vivid epic verse the natural wonders, livelihoods and popular traditions of Mexico and his native Guatemala.
This book begins with a detailed account of Mexico's unique classical heritage, showing how humanists in colonial New Spain applied indigenous forms of knowledge and a multicultural perspective to their reading of ancient authors. Further information about Landívar's life and exile to Italy helps to illuminate the allegorical character of his work - and its important political dimension. This accessible study of 'the American Virgil' will encourage readers to discover for themselves the astonishing quality and sophistication of the Latin literature of Latin America. The present volume incorporates a complete text of the Rusticatio Mexicana (with Regenos' translation). Landívar's shorter works have also been collected and translated into English for the first time.

The late Antique mosaic of Orpheus decorated a small room, approximately 18 m2 in area, connected with two even smaller ones, in 4 m2 and the other 2 m2 in area, belonging most likely to a small funerary chapel (or tomb) discovered in the ancient necropolis by the Damascene Gate in Jerusalem; it was discovered in 1901 by H. Vincent.
The author proposes a new interpretation of the iconographic program of the Orpheus myth used by wealthy Christians in a sepulchral context (see Olszewski M.T. «Orphée endeuillé de la mosaïque funéraire de Jérusalem», in Rey Mimoso-Ruiz, B. ed., Actes du colloque «Orphée entre Soleil et ombre», à l’Institut Catholique de Toulouse du 16 au 17 novembre 2007, Inter Lignes, numéros spécial – mars 2008, pp. 205-214, 226). He also proposes a new interpretation of the role Orpheus played in Roman funerary art, concentrating on the importance of the play on words and the visual and textual punning that was popular in ancient art and especially in funerary art. He rejects the popular interpretation of Orpheus as Christ in the Roman catacombs and proposes to interpret the image as that of Orpheus, bard of the departed souls, without any ahistorical connection with Christ. The program of the mosaic from Jerusalem is thus explained as a play on the words Orpheus-orphanos and Chiron (Chi-Rho) and Pan [Παν(τοκράτωρ)].The frequently used Christian funerary formula of resting in peace, Christ or the Lord corresponds
perfectly with the mood created around the mythical bard.
Orpheus’ universal role as singer and musician moving even the most stony of hearts, extolling the beloved departed, is absolutely justified in the context of a 6th-century Christian tomb. Orpheus is a popular and neutral figure, meaning that in effect it does not constitute a threat to Christian theology and can be tolerated by the educated Christians of Jerusalem.

Trata o texto de questões gerais e genéricas das Letras Latinas. Um manual de Literatura Latina cuja preocupação cronológica é deixada, parcialmente, de lado, para observar essencialmente gêneros letrados transhistoricamente, sem abrir mão, entretanto, do contexto e, naturalmente, da recepção coetânea aos textos, elementos importantes para o autor na compreensão dessas práticas letradas antigas, devido à distância que existe entre elas e nós, leitores modernos.

O compêndio obverva 11 gêneros literários, sigificativos em Roma, entre o século III a.C. e o século IV d.C., matiza diferenças e assinala semelhanças entre autores, apresentando mais do que informações acerca de autores, os seus próprios textos, comentados e anotados.

Iniciando pelo capítulo que apresenta o contexto dessas práticas letradas, o livro contém informações acerca da: Lírica (Horácio e Catulo), Elegia (Propércio, Ovídio e Tibulo)), Bucólica (Virgílio), Épica (Virgílio), Comédia (Plauto e Terêncio), Tragédia (Sêneca), Historiografia (Salústio, Tito Lívio e Tácito), Retórica (Cícero, A Herênio e Quintiliano), Oratória (Cícero), Poesia didática (Horácio e Ovídio) e Sátira (Horácio, Sêneca, Juvenal e Petrônio.

Acompanha ao livro, 2 DVDs, contendo 12 aulas de Literatura Latina, proferidas pelo Prof. Dr. Paulo Martins, da Universidade de São Paulo.

Before the great Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912) was appointed University Professor of Latin and later of Italian, he taught in several Italian high schools. In 1893, the Secretary for Education, the journalist and writer Ferdinando Martini, wishing to improve the teaching of ...

The grammatical feminine gender was developed by Indo-European in relatively recent times, and was superimposed on an older system of two genders (animate / inanimate). The virtual totality of Indo-Europeanists would agree with this affirmation; but there is no agreement between researchers over the factors which led to the emergence of this new gender.
By analyzing the diverse uses of the suffix * eH2 , Karl Brugmann managed to explain why the feminine grammatical gender includes many words which are not semantically feminine. Brugmann’s perspective is still substantially correct, but, in the exact terms in which he formulated this theory (more than a hundred years ago), it cannot give a satisfactory explanation to three important questions: (1) How did the diversity of uses of the suffix * (e)H2 originate? (2) How did some adjectives develop specific forms for feminine agreement? (3) Why are the ā stems and the thematic declension in complementary distribution?
The different theories that have been proposed since Brugmann can some-times answer one or (at best) two of these questions, but there is not a theory which can resolve the three questions simultaneously. Such a theory is, precisely, the object of the present study.

Dag Norberg's analysis and interpretation of Medieval Latin versification, which was published in French in 1958 and remains the standard work on the subject, appears here for the first time in English with a detailed, scholarly introduction by Jan Ziolkowski that reviews the developments of the past fifty years.

This Word List is a study tool created to quickly increase a student's Latin vocabulary. The list was created for the Centre for Medieval Studies Latin Committee to prepare MA students for the CMS Level One Latin Examination at the University of Toronto. The list is based on a collation of all words used in Level One Exams administered from 1990-2014 (see CMS Level One Latin Glossary). Words are organized around root forms. This organizational scheme both facilitates vocabulary memorization and teaches Latin word formation in order to prepare students for encountering additional, unfamiliar vocabulary.

Lo studio traccia le linee dello sviluppo della superficie in diritto romano. L’istituto sorse tra secondo e primo secolo a.C., in conseguenza di rilevanti mutamenti demografici e urbanistici e fu probabilmente modellato sulle concessioni vettigali. Inizialmente, la superficie fu basata sul contratto di locazione a tempo determinato e poi anche su quello a tempo indeterminato (ovvero in perpetuum) e i superficiari conduttori furono tutelati mediante l’interdictum de superficiebus, modellato su quello de loco publico fruendo. Poiché nel corso del tempo, sul finire del primo secolo a.C., si ammise nella prassi la possibilità di costituire diritti di superficie mediante compravendita, legato e donazione, la tutela interdittale non fu più sufficiente e così, forse tra primo e secondo secolo d.C., il pretore inserì nell’editto la tutela reale per via di azione, a vantaggio di tutti i superficiari, con l’eccezione di quelli che fossero meri conductores ad modicum tempus. Si esaminano tutti i tipi di azioni decretali in factum che il diritto romano conobbe a vantaggio dei superficiari.

Cum Euryali matrem Vergilius describat, Homeri Andromacham in Iliados libro XXII delineatam imitatur. Sed in imitatione sua praesertim matris perturbationem et inopinati doloris novitatem, ad augendam erga mulierem miserationem, exprimit. Euryali mater etiam Vergilii Andromacham in Aeneidos libro III depictam imitatur propter communem fatum, dolorem et perenem suorum amissorum memoriam. Matris lamentum, denique, Euryali et Nisi gestorum narrationem omnino concludit, ut magis infirmorum dolor quam heroum gloria emineat.

Lo studio esamina due apostrofi virgiliane dedicate a giovani morti in guerra e seguite dai lamenti dei loro genitori. In tal modo il poeta esprime un duplice punto di vista su questi eventi, quello della gloria e quello del dolore incolmabile della perdita.

That Old Gutnish is a variant of Old Norse is unmistakeable. The first line of the medieval law text of Gotland–preserved in two manuscripts and comprising the bulk of the Old Gutnish corpus–is easily read by the Old Norse scholar: þitta
ir fyrst upp haf .i. lagum orum: þet wir sculum naicca haiþnu oc iatta crisnu (‘This is the beginning of our law: that we shall deny heathendom and accept Christianity’) which in standardized Old West Norse (Old Icelandic) would read þetta er fyrst upphaf í lo˛gum várum: at vér skulum neka heiðni ok játta kristni.

However, Old Gutnish displays a number of developments which vary from those of Old Icelandic, Old Swedish, and the other Old Norse variants. Alongside unique Gutnish innovations, the medieval insular language remains important for scholars of Old Norse because of the divergent participation in generally-
accepted Common Norse sound changes, namely umlaut and breaking.

This paper presents Old Gutnish from two vantage points: first, as an Old Norse variant with divergence in Common Norse umlaut and breaking; and second, as a unique language variety with its own history and development.

Virgil's opinion about love is influenced by the rising Gallus' love elegy and by the literary dialogue with that poet, as is revealed by some 'elegiac' characters in ecll. 2, 8 and -of course- 10. Love is also in the Georgics a painful passion, in the excursus at III, 209-283 and in the tragic Orpheus' story. In the Aeneid it is even more ruinous, because is a self-centered feeling and diverts from duties to the community.
