Platão

Cornelli, Gabriele (coord.); Lopes, Rodolfo (coord.), São Paulo: Paulus, 2018

Descrição

O que esperar de um compêndio a Platão em língua portuguesa? Antes de mais nada, que possa constituir-se em uma chave de entrada no vasto e profundo mar dos estudos platônicos com a marca da diversidade de abordagens que constituem hoje quiçá a característica mais marcante da scholarship lusófona, especialmente quando comparada com outras comunidades geopolíticas, mais marcadas por certa homogeneidade de estilos e hermenêuticas. O leitor encontrará nesta obra uma polifonia de metodologias e referências que desejam conduzi-lo a um olhar mais abrangente e generoso para com Platão e seus comentadores. A busca pela diversidade de abordagens levou os editores também a convidar para este projeto estudiosos não-lusófonos de primeira-linha. Ao mesmo tempo em que estes contribuem em sua totalidade com contribuições originais traduzidas para o português, a seleção de cada um deles teve como critério o seu histórico de cooperação com a comunidade de platonistas de língua portuguesa, notoriamente aberta a diálogos fecundos com as tradições mais variadas.

The Tradition of Hermes Trismegistus

The Egyptian Priestly Figure as a Teacher of Hellenized Wisdom

Christian H. Bull, Leiden: Brill, 2018

Description

In The Tradition of Hermes Trismegistus, Christian H. Bull argues that the treatises attributed to Hermes Trismegistus reflect the spiritual exercises and ritual practices of loosely organized brotherhoods in Egypt. These small groups were directed by Egyptian priests educated in the traditional lore of the temples, but also conversant with Greek philosophy. Such priests, who were increasingly dispossessed with the gradual demise of the Egyptian temples, could find eager adherents among a Greek-speaking audience seeking for the wisdom of the Egyptian Hermes, who was widely considered to be an important source for the philosophies of Pythagoras and Plato. The volume contains a comprehensive analysis of the myths of Hermes Trismegistus, a reevaluation of the Way of Hermes, and a contextualization of this ritual tradition.

Plato Latinus

Aspects de la transmission de Platon en Latin dans l’Antiquité

Jean-Baptiste Guillaumin et Carlos Lévy (éd.), Turnhout: Brepolis, 2018

Description

Recueil d’études sur la présence du platonisme dans la littérature latine antique.
Si Platon constitue, pour les auteurs latins, une autorité et une figure de référence, la philosophie “platonicienne” a connu, de l’époque tardo-républicaine à l’Antiquité tardive, de nombreuses adaptations et réinterprétations dans la littérature latine, de l’œuvre pionnière d’un Cicéron à la somme théorique léguée au Moyen Âge par un Boèce. De fait, durant cet intervalle de quelque six siècles, les auteurs qui se réclament de Platon adoptent successivement différentes attitudes philosophiques à l’égard du corpus platonicien et recourent à toute une gamme de genres et de formes littéraires pour en exposer les contours. Ils se sont montrés fidèles en cela à la tradition platonicienne qui, dès l’origine, a refusé de se figer dans une orthodoxie dogmatique. Sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, les différentes contributions réunies dans ce volume cherchent à apporter des éclairages complémentaires sur les différents moments du platonisme latin et sur la variété des approches qui le caractérisent, mettant ainsi en évidence la richesse protéiforme du Plato Latinus.

Authority and Identity in Emerging Christianities

in Asia Minor and Greece


Edited by Cilliers Breytenbach and Julien M. Ogereau, Leiden: Brill, 2018

Description

This book explores how early Christian communities constructed, developed, and asserted their identity and authority in various socio-cultural contexts in Asia Minor and Greece in the first five centuries CE. With the help of the database Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae (ICG), special attention is given to ancient inscriptions which represent a rich and valuable source of information on the early Christians’ social and religious identity, family networks, authority structures, and place and function in society. This collection of essays by various specialists of Early Christianity, Epigraphy, and Late Antiquity, offers a broad geographical survey of the expansion and socio-cultural development of Christianity/ies in Asia Minor and Greece, and sheds new light on the religious transformation of the Later Roman Empire.

God’s Library

The archeology of the earliest christian manuscripts

Brent Nongbri, New Haven: Yale University Press, 2018

Description

A provocative book from a highly original scholar, challenging much of what we know about early Christian manuscripts. In this bold and groundbreaking book, Brent Nongbri provides an up-to-date introduction to the major collections of early Christian manuscripts and demonstrates that much of what we thought we knew about these books and fragments is mistaken. While biblical scholars have expended much effort in their study of the texts contained within our earliest Christian manuscripts, there has been a surprising lack of interest in thinking about these books as material objects with individual, unique histories. We have too often ignored the ways that the antiquities market obscures our knowledge of the origins of these manuscripts. Through painstaking archival research and detailed studies of our most important collections of early Christian manuscripts, Nongbri vividly shows how the earliest Christian books are more than just carriers of texts or samples of handwriting. They are three-dimensional archaeological artifacts with fascinating stories to tell, if we’re willing to listen.

Round Trip to Hades in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition

Visits to the Underworld from Antiquity to Byzantium

Gunnel Ekroth and Ingela Nilsson, Leiden: Brill, 2018

 Description

Round Trip to Hades in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition explores how the theme of visiting the Underworld and returning alive has been treated, transmitted and transformed in the ancient Greek and Byzantine traditions. The journey was usually a descent (katabasis) into a dark and dull place, where forgetfulness and punishment reigned, but since ‘everyone’ was there, it was also a place that offered opportunities to meet people and socialize. Famous Classical round trips to Hades include those undertaken by Odysseus and Aeneas, but this pagan topic also caught the interest of Christian writers. The contributions of the present volume allow the reader to follow the passage from pagan to Christian representations of Hades – a passage that may seem surprisingly effortless.

A History of Mind and Body in Late Antiquity

Anna Marmodoro and Sophie Cartwright, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2018

Description

The mind-body relation was at the forefront of philosophy and theology in late antiquity, a time of great intellectual innovation. This volume, the first integrated history of this important topic, explores ideas about mind and body during this period, considering both pagan and Christian thought about issues such as resurrection, incarnation and asceticism. A series of chapters presents cutting-edge research from multiple perspectives, including history, philosophy, classics and theology. Several chapters survey wider themes which provide context for detailed studies of the work of individual philosophers including Numenius, Pseudo-Dionysius, Damascius and Augustine. Wide-ranging and accessible, with translations given for all texts in the original language, this book will be essential for students and scholars of late antique thought, the history of religion and theology, and the philosophy of mind.

Neoplatonic Demons and Angels

Luc Brisson, Seamus O’Neill and Andrei Timotin, Leiden: Brill, 2018

Description

Neoplatonic Demons and Angels is a collection of eleven studies which examine, in chronological order, the place reserved for angels and demons not only by the main Neoplatonic philosophers (Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus), but also in Gnosticism, the Chaldaean Oracles, Christian Neoplatonism, especially by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. This volume originates from a panel held at the 2014 ISNS meeting in Lisbon, but is supplemented by a number of invited papers.
