Описание: Despite the significance of its contents, the so-called Demades papyrus (P.Berol. inv. 13045) has received scarce scholarly attention since the 1923 editio princeps by Karl Kunst. This unique late second-century BCE document of almost 430 lines was found in the Egyptian chora, but it is supposed to have been written in Alexandria, where it probably served as a textbook for the highest level of rhetorical education. Besides shedding new light on its find circumstances and physical aspects, the volume offers a full re-edition and commentary of the two adespota texts contained in it, namely a eulogy of the Lagid monarchy and a historical work consisting of a dialogue between Demades and his prosecutor in the trial of 319 BCE at the court of Pella. The aim of the accompanying introduction is to address the question of the origin, nature and purpose of such fragments and of the collection itself, as well as to show to what extent the papyrus contributes to a better understanding of some of the main historical events of the early Hellenistic period. This book is thus meant to fill a significant gap in Classical scholarship, all the more so as a close investigation of most of the topics dealt with therein has hitherto been lacking.
Описание: Recent decades have seen the publication of several papyri devoted to ancient epigram, one of the most successful poetic forms of antiquity. Of these the most enigmatic is the Yale papyrus codex; its date, authorship and content have been vigorously debated. The codex allows us a glimpse of the wealth of material now lost to us and enriches our perception of the genre’s dynamism, its thematic richness, and the process of anthologisation and dissemination. This volume offers the first collection of essays by experts in the genre dedicated to this fascinating and elusive text of the imperial period.

Описание: This is the first monograph in English about Demades, an influential Athenian politician from the fourth century B.C. An orator whose fame outlived him for hundreds of years, he was an acquaintance and collaborator of many political and military leaders of classical Greece, including the Macedonian king Philip II, his son and successor Alexander III (the Great), and the orator Demosthenes. An overwhelming portion of the available evidence on Demades dates to at least three centuries after his death and, often, much later. Contextualizing the sources within their historical and cultural framework, The Orator Demades delineates how later rhetorical practices and social norms transformed his image to better reflect the educational needs and political realities of the Roman imperial and Byzantine periods. The evolving image of Demades illustrates the role that rhetoric, as the basis of education and edification under the Roman and Byzantine Empires, played in creating an alternate, inauthentic vision of the classical past that continues to dominate modern scholarship and popular culture. As a result, the book raises a general question about the problematic foundations of our knowledge of classical Greece.
Описание: In this commentary on the Egerton Gospel , Lorne R. Zelyck presents a fresh paleographical analysis and thorough reconstruction of the fragmentary text, which results in new readings and interpretations. Details surrounding the acquisition of the manuscript are presented for the first time, and various scholarly viewpoints on controversial topics, such as the date of composition and relationship to the canonical gospels, are addressed. This early apocryphal gospel (150-250 CE) provides traditional interpretations of the canonical gospels that are similar to those of other early Christian authors, and affirms Jesus’ continuity with the miracle-working prophets Moses and Elisha, his obedience to the Law, divinity, and violent rejection by Jewish opponents.

Описание: Das Verso des Artemidor-Papyrus, zum Ende des 1. Jh. v. Chr. in Alexandria entstanden, zeigt Zeichnungen von 45 Tierarten. Darunter sind 15 sudasiatischer Herkunft, die um 20 v. Chr. von einer indischen Gesandtschaft uberbracht wurden. Es erfolgt eine Determination aller Tiere auf das Artniveau sowie die Prazisierung von Weg und Fortwirken der Menagerie. Diese wurde zuerst bei Antiochia dem Princeps Augustus im Auftrag eines Konigs „Poros" ubergeben, eines Herrschers im Gujarat (wohl Vikramaditya), der sich vom Romischen Reich Handelsabkommen erhoffte. Augustus erwahnte dies in seinen „Res Gestae". Der Reprasentation dienten Tigerpython, Elefanten, Panzernashorn und Tiger. Einen langen Zwischenhandel hatten Helmkasuar und Adjutant hinter sich. Die Haubenhuhner wurden bleibender Bestandteil der europaischen Huhnerzucht. Das Nachleben einiger Tiere wird nachgewiesen – einige stellte Augustus in Rom selbst zur Schau. Der Tigerpython endete als Haustier von Tiberius. Der Kasuar wurde obduziert und erfuhr ein literarisches und bildliches Nachleben bis zur Renaissance. Das Recto zeigt Entwurfe, die zu einer illustrierten Gedenkstatte verwendet wurden, die in der Darstellung der „India" in den Mosaiken der Piazza Armerina einen Niederschlag fanden.
