Alexander, Hannibal, and Scipio in Lucian
No full textNot much has been written about this particular Dialogue of the Dead. What there is, apart from noting the obvious fact of it being a comic syncrisis, concentrates on the role of Scipio and Lucian's alleged historical errors throughout the piece. But there is much more to be said about correlation of satire and history in the piece. And the supposed historical errors melt away upon examination. This paper also encompasses two new topics: a general review of the dialogue and its theme in terms of both genre and topicality, and some possible internal evidence for redating it to a later period than has hitherto been done.No disponibl

Una nota a Petron., Sat. XLV 3
No full textPetronius’ sentence ubique medius caelus est could be read as something more than a standard gnomic definition. Considering that philosophical language often falls into common sentences. Petronius’ proverb can be regarded as a popular reading of the cosmopolite prescription of a widely spread ethical thought about man’s indifference to external events.No disponibl
Ateneo y la λεπτότης de Filetas
No full textThis article is an analysis of a passage by Athenaeus (XII 552b) in which Philetas is qualified as λεπτότερος. After examining texts by Callimachus and Aratus we come to the conclusion that the adjective λεπτότερος does not refer to the physical appearance of Philetas, but to his participation in a new literary current characterized by λεπτότης.No disponibl
Las cláusulas anómalas en la obra de Silio Itálico: estudio métrico y estilístico
No full textThis paper offers a study of the working of non-regular clauses in dactylic hexameter in Silius Italicus’ Punica and makes a comparison between his procedures and the «model poets», mainly Virgil’s. Silius Italicus uses non-regular clauses much less frequently than Virgil, but with similar stylistic values. The most frequent clauses are those we will call si bona norint and armaque nostra, which usually appear related to enjambement. However, Silius Italicus’ main innovation lies in his use of both types of clauses, combined with enjambement and chiasmus.No disponibl
La terminología técnica en la traducción latina del siglo XII del Περὶ ἀέρων... hipocrático
No full textThere are two medieval Latin translations of the Hippocratic treatise Περὶ ἀέρων... (Vth and XIIth centuries). This paper makes a comparative semantic study of the medieval technical terminology in both translations. Through a semantic classification of significant words and expressions used in each translation, the author concludes that the XIIth century one is independent of the other and addressed to a lay and larger public.No disponibl
La heteróclisis en hetita
No full textHittite presents two types of alternance:
The type -r/n-, which is inherited and relatively productive, forms nouns within well-defined semantic fields: temporal designations: meh̬ur meh̬unaš; body-parts: kuttar kuttanaš; fluids: watar wetenaš, and basic natural elements: pah̬h̬ur pah̬h̬uenaš.
The type -r/ø appears only in the suffix -war/-waš which forms abstract nouns like taruppuwar taruppuwaš ‘meeting’. It is a development exclusive of Hittite.
There are three suffixes inflected by the alternance -r/n-; -(a)tar / -(a)nnaš < -(a)tnaš; -eššar/-ešnaš; -war/-unaš.
The great development of these suffixes —an exclusive feature of Hittite— seems to be a peculiar innovation of this language, destined to integrate certain stems in its flexion:
The suffix -tar/-nnaš, supposedly the inheritor of an I.E. suffix *-ter/-tn-, is used again in order to integrate the *-eH2/-H2 stems, which formed abstract nouns already from the l.E. and did not present any other productive type in Hittite. This would be the suffix -atar/-annaš.
The suffix -eššar/-ešnaš integrates the *-es/-os I.E. nouns in the Hittite nominal system, which formed abstract nouns already in I.E.; this suffix does not appear in other inflected type in Hittite.
The suffix -war/-unaš, on the contrary, is not productive and can create designations of parts of animal bodies and abstract nouns as well.No disponibl

Nuevos textos de Vetus latina (1 Reyes 22). Edición y estudio
No full textThe author presents and analyzes the edition of the unpublished texts of Vetus Latina (1 Re. 22) within the Spanish manuscripts. They are the most important preserved evidences to reconstruct this chapter, because the Palimpsestus Vindobonensis and the Fragmenta Quedlinburgensia have not them. Its most prominent feature is that this Latin version offers many variants comparing it with its Greek source.No disponibl
