Given the variety and richness of this genre, it is very difficult to define its many subcategories. This classification attempts to improve defects in previous classifications. It is based on functional criteria, the authenticity of the letter and the intentions of its writer. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35841 «Traditionally, most frequent word-ends have been considered as caesurae of Greek hexameter. However, the prosodic study of word-end in Theocritus' Idylls shows that penthemimers and trochaic caesurae have a special behaviour avoiding the elision, correption and consonantal clusters of muta cum liquida. In contrast, these phenomena are frequent in trihemimers and hepthemimers caesurae, and also in bucolic diaeresis. From this is concluded that the caesura is defined not only by word-end frequency but also by prosodic behaviour. Therefore, Theocritus' hexameter would contain a main caesura, penthemimer or trochaic, which would divide it in two hemistiches». 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35843 The Hellenistic period and Late Antiquity witnessed a notable development of the literary form of commentaries on classical texts. The present article analyzes the rhetorical, juridical, and philosophical origins of the main principles of this hermeneutics, then describes its systematization and use in commentaries by Neoplatonic authors on the works of Plato and Aristotle, as well as by Christian authors on the Bible. By way of hypothesis, it is proposed that the hermeneutical principles involved may be classified according to the three basic elements of communication (author, message and reader), in the following manner: the author's intention, the text's meaning (literal and allegorical), and the reader's utility. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35842 In the author's opinion the highly controversial έρέτησιν in Apollonius Rhodius'Argonautica 11 467 can be only explained as a stylistic election. The poet uses he re a lyric level of language, probably connected with the weight which the choral lyric place s on the noun. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35840 The gold lamellae from Thessaly 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35838 Some sources tell us that Aristotle prepared for Alexander a recensio of the Iliad. R. Pfeiffer has examined the problem; according to his opinion, Aristotle did not prepare a διόρθωσις, but merely a copy (έκδοσις). Based on a more accurate inquiry of the sources, this paper tries to prove that this so-called «Iliad of the casket» was really a recensio. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35839 Zu zwei Goldlamellen aus Thessalien 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35836 Reseña de Piero Morpurgo, Filosofia della natura nella Schola salernitana del secolo XII, prólogo de Enrique Montero Cartelle, Bologna, Cooperativa Libraria Universitaria Editrice Bologna, 1990, XVIII + 245 pp. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35837 Reseña de Nicole Loraux, Les expériences de Tirésias.

Giacomelli provides occasion for this review-article where recent dialectological research on the inscriptions of Achaean colonies in Magna Graecia is critically surveyed. The problems addressed include some idiosyncratic uses of and , linguistic contact in Magna Graecia (pre-Achaean remnants, convergence, Doric Koiná), nom. H(έ)ρακλες, etc. Special attention is paid to the debate of whether the Achaean dialect originally belonged in the Doris mitior with a system of seven long vowels, as the evidence furnished by recent inscriptions in Peloponnesian Achaea seems to suggest, or -to judge from the scanty data available for the colonies- in the Doris severior with only five long vowels. Contrary to current opinion, it is the mother city which must have preserved the original situation. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35833 Reseña de Lo sport in Grecia, coord. por Paola Angeli Bernardini, Roma-Bari, Laterza, 1988, 262 pp, 27 láminas, ISBN 88-420-3281-6 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35831 Reseña de Semónides, Testimonia et fragmenta, edición de E.

Antonio Agustín (1517-1586) evokes in his posthumous treatise entitled Diálogos de las Armas y Linages de la Nobleza de España, the great medieval figures of King Clovis, Saint Remigius, the fleurs-de-lis, the emblem of Charlemagne, El Cid, or Otger Cathalo. His writings established the heraldry as an instrumental knowledge for the study of Classic Antiquity, and the Middle Ages. The text was published by D. Gregorio Mayáns i Sisear (Madrid, 1734), and later in the great edition of Antonii Augustini Opera Omnia (Lucae, 1774). The famous treatise kwon as the Introductio ad Latinam Blasoniam written by John Gibbon (1682) was the epoch making book in England, remembered by Sir Edward Gibbon, author of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-1788), in his famous Memoirs of My Life. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/35830 Reseña de Carles Miralles Solá y Jaume Pòrtulas, The poetry of Hipponax, Roma, Edizioni dell'Ateneo, 1988, 166 pp. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z
