Unbesiegt - für die Nation (1927): un articolo poco noto di Wilamowitz (e una diversa versione della conferenza sulla caduta del mondo antico)
No full textIn a paper published in the «Deutsche Zeitung», April 1st, 1927, which has
so far escaped the attention of scholars, Wilamowitz, while reiterating the old arguments
about Germany undefeated in field in WWI, welcomes the regained international
role of German science and the support for research by the republican government
(in which then the NDVP participated). In order to appreciate the meaning of
this stance it may be useful to compare another almost unknown text, the 1922 Zurich
version of Wilamowitz’s conference on the fall of the ancient worl

Alcune postille a POxy 3239
No full textSome further notes to the list of isopsephisms in P.Oxy. 3239, and especially on Ῥώμη· ξυλίνη πόλις, to be considered as the witness of a mildly critical attitude towards Rome in the Greco-Egyptian elite of the 2nd century AD
Una annotazione a Cipriano, ad Donatum 1 (e alcuni presunti frammenti apuleiani) nel cosiddetto glossario Abolita
No full textThe gloss Abolita CO 106, when properly emended and interpreted, turns out to be a note to Cyprian, Ad Donat. 1. Other glosses in the same collection sometimes traced back to Apuleius or other heathen writers appear to have been drawn from Cyprian and Christian authors, esp. Augustine

A New Poe Source: Thomas Thomson's "Sketch of the Progress of Physical Science"
No full textPoe’s mention of Archimedes in a footnote added to “A Descent into the Maelström” in the 1845 edition of the Tales, as well as some items of the “Marginalia” (nos. 87, 94, 101; maybe also nos. 93, 104, 169), were derived from Thomas Thomson’s Sketch of the Progress of Physical Science, as reprinted, bound with Dionysius Lardner’s Course of Lectures, in an 1843 pamphlet. This discovery helps clarify Poe’s use of scientific sources and his attitude toward science
Le trappole di Cirillo: Hesych. ε 4016 L., π 12 H.
Full text linkRecent researches have demonstrated that ‒ as Wilamowitz and Wentzel already knew ‒ many
glosses in the Lexicon Cyrilli (and in Hesychius’ text as preserved in the Marcianus) are not
drawn from classical authors, but from the works of Cyril of Alexandria and of other Christian
authors. Hence some traditional attributions need revision: in particular, Hesych. π 12 H.,
suspected to be a fragment of Archilochus (fr. dub. 311 W.2), is in fact from Cyril, Ador. in
spir. et verit. PG LXVIII 461b; while ε 4016 L., ascribed to a Hellenistic poet (SH 1077), is
drawn from Ador. in spir. et verit. PG LXVIII 412c (or, less probably, from Hom. pasch. 30,
PG LXXVII 977b)
La cultura classica e l'erudizione di Edgar Allan Poe: altre fonti dei Pinakidia
No full textThe article traces some sources of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Pinakidia” and “Supplementary Pinakidia” that hitherto escaped the notice of Poe’s scholars. Among these sources is Thomas Stackhouse’s New History of the Bible, whence Poe drew some fifteen items, as well as various information on sacred history and the ancient world that he also used in writing his tales (esp. “A Decided Loss” / “Loss of Breath” and “Epimanes” / “Four Beasts in One”)
