Item Theodore Metochites on ancient authors and philosophy : Semeioseis gnomikai 1-26 & 71(Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, 2002) Hult, Karin; Wistrand, MagnusItem Les banquets et l'ambiguïté : autour de la première Olympique de Pindare(Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensia, 2019) Lundahl, KalleThe present book studies metaphors relating to the Ancient Greek banquet and symposion (drinking party) in the poetry of Pindar from Thebes (518–438 BC). The focus is on the First Olympian Ode composed in honor of Hieron, the ruler of Syracuse, whose horse and its jockey were victorious in the single horse race in Olympia in 476 BC. The first part of the First Olympian includes a celebration of Hieron’s hospitality around his table in Syracuse. The final part celebrates a banquet in Olympia in honor of Pelops, the legendary founder of the Olympic games. The book argues that the drawback of earlier scholarship is the monosemous view, according to which only one interpretation of a word or passage is possible. Instead, this monograph proposes that the Theban poet always looks for as many complementary compliments to say about his heroes, gods, patrons and himself as possible but using as few words as possible. To achieve that aim, Pindar uses intentional ambiguities. The book has two parts. The first one studies metaphors relating to water, gold, hearth/Hestia, apples, sheep, and crater. The second part analyses the symbolism of wine, blood, couch, grave, servant, and altar. This monograph also examines the subject of personification in the chapters “Hestia,” “La klinê,” and “La tombe comme serviteur.”Item Theodore Metochites’ Sententious Notes: Semeioseis gnomikai 61–70 & 72–81(Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis / Kriterium, 2018-12-27) Wahlgren, StaffanThis volume contains a critical edition, with an English translation and notes, of 20 chapters of the Semeioseis gnomikai ("Sententious notes") of the Byzantine statesman Theodore Metochites (1270-1332). The introduction gives an extensive, partly new, description and assessment of the manuscripts as physical objects and in their relationship to each other. The manuscripts discussed, and used in the edition, are the Par. gr. 2003 (P) and Marc. gr. 532 (M), both of the fourteenth century, and, wherever M is illegible, the Scor. gr. 248 (E), a sixteenth-century copy of M. In the edition, the reading of P (including the corrections by the main copyist, Michael Klostomalles, as well as a manus secunda) is generally adopted as the authoritative text. The volume concludes with a bibliography, an index of passages, and an index of names. The discussion in the essays touches upon several subjects, more or less related to each other. Among these are the ignorance of man and the difficulty to know anything, and the moral side of seeking an active life as opposed to "living hidden".Item Theodore Metochites on the Human Condition and the Decline of Rome Semeioseis gnomikai 27–60(Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis / Kriterium, 2016-12-28) Hult, KarinA critical edition, with English translation and notes, of chapters 27–60 of the Semeioseis gnomikai (“Sententious notes”), a collection of 120 essays by the Byzantine statesman and scholar Theodore Metochites (1270–1332). The edition is based on three manuscripts, which are briefly presented in the introduction. P (Par. gr. 2003, Paris) and M (Marc. gr. 532, Venice) were both written in the early fourteenth century; E (Scor. gr. 248, Escorial) is a sixteenth-century copy of M. After the edition, with accompanying English translation and notes, the book is concluded with a bibliography and three indexes: of quoted passages, Greek words, and Greek names. Several of the essays in this volume contain laments on the reduced state of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium), and on the vicissitudes of human life and fortune. A group of short essays describe the pleasure of beholding Creation and one of the longest discusses the pros and cons of having been born, i.e. of life.Item Études syntaxiques sur les pronoms réfléchis pléonastiques en latin(1964) Dahlén, Eric, 1906-1989Item Libanius' Declamations 9 and 10(2005) Johansson, MikaelItem Anicii Manlii Severini Boethii De syllogismo categorico : critical edition with introduction.(2001) Thomsen Thörnqvist, ChristinaItem Cicero imperator : studies in Cicero's correspondence 51-47 B.C.(1979) Wistrand, Magnus, 1943-Item The Roman chancery tradition : studies in the language of Codex Theodosianus and Cassiodorus' Variae(1984) Vidén, Gunhild, 1952-Item Sprachwandel im Griechisch der frühen römischen Kaiserzeit(1995) Wahlgren, Staffan, 1956-Item The letter collections of Peter of Blois : studies in the manuscript tradition(1993) Wahlgren, Lena, 1963-; Petrus BlesensisItem The phonemic system of the Attic dialect 400-340 B.C.(1974) Teodorsson, Sven-TageItem Notes on Valerius Flaccus´ Argonautica.(1972) Strand, JohnnyItem The emperor says : studies in the rhetorical style in edicts of the Early Empire(1972) Seeberg, Margareta, 1939-Item The Attic Moses : the dependency theme in some early Christian writers(1994) Ridings, DanielItem Glossae super Genesim : prologus et capitula 1-3(1992) Petrus Cantor; Sylwan, Agneta, 1955-Item Mykenisch-griechische Personennamen(1958) Landau, Oscar, 1916-
