La posición del acento prehistórico latino
No full textThe traditional prehistorical initial stress theory should be revised. The data that are here dealt with by the author reveal an alternative possibility: vocalic transformations can be likewise explained if we assume that the prehistorical Latin accent fell on the first long vowel of a word or on the first syllable when a word did not contain any long vowel.No disponibl
Revisiting Latin exīlis
No full textIn a recent paper on «Una palabra dificil: Lat. exīlis», Emilio Nieto (1987) offers a novel etymology of the Latin adjective exīlis ‘thin’. Whereas I completely agree with his critique of earlier attempts, I find Nieto’s own proposal unconvincing. The reasons for my verdict will become evident in the bulk of the present paper.No disponibl

No full textAportaciones al estoicismo de Quinto de Esmirna. Un comentario a la figura de Anfitrite y a Posthomerica XI 106 s.
No full textThere are some traces of Stoic philosophy in Quintus’ work. e.g. we can consider Amphitrite a simple name for the sea, with significant epithets. The influence of Stoicism upon the author's conception of the human heart is also remarkable.No disponibl
Notas críticas a dos himnos litúrgicos mozárabes
No full textThe author establishes the texts of the Mozarabic Hymns to St. Bartolomé and to the Sts. Facundo and Primitivo, previously edited, with a large number of corrections, by Blume in Analecta Hymnica Medii Aeui XXVII. In both hymns he tries to follow and always maintain the original text of the corresponding manuscript as far as possible, and succeeds in making them more intelligible.No disponibl
Κατὰ τὴν τοῦ χρὁνου τἁξιν. El tiempo en las cosmogonias presocráticas
No full textThis is a study of the different forms of the intervention of time in the cosmogonies of the Pre-Socratics, their answers to the question of what time actually is, and the ways they understood its passing in the process of world creation. After introducing some prior problems, the author emphasizes that the Pre-Socratics had six distinct notions of time: l. Time-life (as the duration of a lifetime). 2. Time-order (as regulated duration). 3. Time-events (a sequence of a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ with respect to ‘now’ formed by successive events). 4. Time-change (that of transformation, of γιγνεσθαι). 5. Time-framework or time-receptacle (in which events are inserted). 6. Time-linguistic, related to the distinction which can be expressed in Greek either through the opposition between present/pass/future or through adverbs such as «before» and «after». They also have different time-passing models. 1. Understood as duration (a limited and an illimited one are distinguished and within the latter the eternal, atemporal and embracing finite times). 2. Understood as a line (within which a rectilinear one and a cyclical one are distinguished).
In the light of these assumptions the passages referring to time in Hesiod, Ferecides, the Orphics, Anaximander, the Pythagoreans, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Melissus, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Diogenes of Apollonia and Democritus are revised. The author conc1udes that the suggested parameters, together with a philological analysis of the texts and a deep semantic study, constitute a productive mean to study the subject.No disponibl
The visit of Athena to Achilles in Iliad I
No full textAthena’s intervention in Il. I is to be understood literally, not in a metaphorical or symbolic sense. The reasons for her intervention are explained by the structure of the first book and of the poem as a whole.No disponibl
«Quoei uita defecit non honos honore» (CIL I2 11). Nueva interpretación
No full textGiven the problems of interpretation raised by the text studied in this article, the author suggests a new semantic content for the verbal form defecit. Thus, through a structural semantic analysis the author suggests for this verb the meaning of ‘quitar’. Although this has disappeared from Latin, it represents a very old value which at some given time would have functioned as an alternative term to facio ‘colocar’ within the lexical field of «position».No disponibl
