Concluding Volume of the CRC 933

Parchment or paper? The choice between these two writing materials was available to people in Italy from 1100, to those north of the Alps from the thirteenth century. If we take them by their word, they preferred the traditional animal skin. But in the hands of writers, paper took over on a broad front. This study analyzes the quiet revolution quantitatively and qualitatively, and investigates why it was so silent.

Scientia Graeco-Arabica

This study tracks the progress of Suhrawardī’s philosophy focusing on his critique of the axial doctrine of the categories and topics related to it: predication and hylomorphism. While it’s known that he rejected hylomorphism and reduced the categories into five, it’s not known how and in which context he has achieved his positions. This is a philosophical study with an eye on the history of concepts. Each chapter detects the historical development from Aristotle through his commentators to Avicenna and critical Avicennans, and then to Suhrawardī. Suhrawardī discerns two diverging projects in the Categories: An ontological project of the ten highest genera of being, and a project of predication embodied in Aristotle’s predicative square. He discusses the latter in the Isagoge, whereas the former is discussed and reduced to five (substance, quality, quantity, relation, motion) in metaphysics. He also shifts hylomorphism from metaphysics – its Avicennan locus – to physics. Perhaps for this reason scholars never paid attention to his proper texts for the theory of body and confined themselves with the polemics of Ḥikmat al-išrāq. This is the first study of physics and general metaphysics of al-Talwīḥāt, al-Mašāriʿ, and al-Muqāwamāt.

'This may be the best translation of The Odyssey yet. Daniel Mendelsohn's rendering of Homer's text is both highly readable and faithful to the original metre. It's impressive, thrilling stuff... a sonorous new translation' - Edith Hall, The Telegraph With his Odyssey, bestselling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike ?a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles. Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's masterwork its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.

Byzantinisches Archiv – Series Medica

Byzantine medicine and charitable foundations are essential parts of the culture of Constantinople. From the establishment of the new roman capital in 330 till its fall in 1453 the study and practice of medicine was often associated with charitable institutions (such as euageis oikoi) which may have inspired similar foundations in Venice (le Scuole Grandi) whose charitable and sometimes medical aspects are comparable to the byzantine ones. Each contributor addresses these questions and together they allow one to form an idea of how medicine was studied and often practiced in charitable foundations. The study of medicine in all its aspects is a central concern of byzantine culture. Each byzantine citizen was confronted with medicine during his or her life and would have known the charitable foundations, not only for their social function, but also as buildings visible on a daily basis.

"König der Welt ist eines der anregendsten und unterhaltsamsten Werke über europäische Geschichte, das seit langem erschienen ist.' Wall Street JournalLudwig XIV., das meinte bisher: Absolutismus, Zentralismus, "Der Staat bin ich".&nbsp;Seine Regentschaft steht für die Pracht von Versailles, für höfische Intrigen und Machtspiele. Philip Mansel zeigt uns eine neue Seite des Sonnenkönigs: einen Herrscher, dessen Interessen und Ambitionen weit über sein Heimatland hinausreichten. Der Frankreichs Grenzen nicht nur in die Niederlande und Deutschland ausdehnte, sondern auch Kolonien in Amerika, Afrika und Indien errichtete, und dessen Regierungsstil von Brunswick bis Württemberg zahlreiche Nachahmer fand. Das Deutschland des ausgehenden 17. Jahrhunderts ist nur zu verstehen, wenn man Ludwigs diplomatische Schachzüge kennt.&nbsp;Mansels farbig geschriebene Biografie liefert den Schlüssel dazu. &nbsp;

How are comics and Latin elegy related? Comics tell their stories by placing individual images in a sequence, and Latin elegy builds narrative through sequence, encouraging readers to connect poems in order to reveal narrativity. Despite this, there has yet to be a definitive methodology that inspires readers to examine the function of this narrative tool. Examining Ovid's Amores, Swain argues a comics-based methodology can offer us important new insights into the ancient genre of Latin elegy. This book applies theories such as the gutter (the space that exists between two comics panels), Groensteen's braiding (the interaction of panels outside of a linear sequence), and the comics page-turn, all to release new readings that reveal the narrative found across the three books of this text. By analysing the way that Ovid creates a complex narrative mosaic in which key characters and motifs repeat across poems, this book explores how story segments are connected into a larger unified narrative.
