Prolegomena zu einer Edition von Erasmus von Rotterdam "Scholia in Epistolas Hieronymi"
Get PDFZusammenfassung:
1515-16 erschien bei Johannes Froben in Basel die erste Gesamtausgabe der Werke des Kirchenvaters Hieronymus. Diese Edition, ein Meilenstein in der Geschichte der patristischen Editionen, entstand aus der Verschmelzung zweier ursprünglich unabhängiger Projekte: Der Basler Buchdrucker Johannes Amerbach hatte seit Ende der 1480er Jahre den Plan verfolgt, die vier grossen lateinischen Kirchenväter (Ambrosius, Augustinus, Hieronymus und Gregorius den Grossen) in zuverlässigen Gesamtausgaben zugänglich zu machen. Nach dem Erscheinen des Ambrosius und des Augustinus bereitete er ab 1507 die wesentlich kompliziertere Hieronymus-Ausgabe vor. Erasmus von Rotterdam anderseits plante seit 1500 eine Hieronymus-Edition. Im August 1514 schlossen sich dann Erasmus und Amerbachs Nachfolger Johannes Froben zusammen; das Ergebnis war die eingangs erwähnte Edition in neun Bänden. Erasmus war primär für die ersten vier Bände zuständig, welche die Briefe sowie die polemischen und apologetischen Schriften enthalten. Zu diesen Bänden verfasste er ausführliche Einleitungsbriefe sowie Inhaltsregesten (argumenta) sowie Erläuterungen (scholia) zu den einzelnen Werken. Darüber hinaus beriet er die Bearbeiter der Bände V–IX. Ausserdem steuerte er ein kritisches Werkverzeichnis sowie eine Biographie des Hieronymus bei.
Die nun auch online zugänglich gemachte Dissertation ist konzipiert als Vorarbeit und Grundlage zu einer Edition von Erasmus von Rotterdams Scholien innerhalb der Amsterdamer Erasmus-Gesamtausgabe ASD. Sie bietet nicht die dringend erwünschte erschöpfende Untersuchung von Hieronymus’ Einfluss auf Erasmus, ebenso wenig eine Untersuchung über den Inhalt, den Aufbau und die Absicht des Kommentars. Thema ist die Entstehung, die Aufnahme und die wiederholten Überarbeitungen der Hieronymus-Ausgabe und vor allem der Scholia. Da wir wohl über keine andere Edition des Erasmus so gut dokumentiert sind und weil die Edition nicht nur in Erasmus’ Leben, sondern auch in der Geschichte der Patristik einen wichtigen Platz einnimmt, schien es sinnvoll, ihre Genese und Rezeption exemplarisch nachzuzeichnen.
Nach der Einleitung, welche die Hieronymus-Ausgabe in einen grösseren Zusammenhang stellt, und einem Überblick über die bisher geleistete Forschung (Kap. I) folgt in Kap. II eine Zusammenstellung der umfangreicheren vor 1516 erschienenen Hieronymus-Editionen und ihres Verhältnisses zueinander. Auch diese dient dazu, unsere Ausgabe im historischen Umfeld zu situieren.
Das nächste Kapitel (III) befasst sich mit der Entstehungsgeschichte der ersten Auflage. In knapper Form wird Erasmus’ Beschäftigung mit und sein Verhältnis zu Hieronymus geschildert. Das Hauptgewicht liegt aber auf seiner Arbeit an der Edition. Die Vorbereitungen Amerbachs bzw. Frobens werden ebenfalls ausführlich dargestellt, da sie ganz wesentlich zur Qualität und dem Erfolg der Ausgabe beigetragen haben. Zu diesem Kapitel gehört Appendix I, welche Erasmus’ Scholia-Handschrift gewidmet ist. Die Geschichte der Handschrift, die daran gewandte Forschung, ihr Inhalt und Aufbau werden darin behandelt; daneben werden auch ein paar nicht zu den Scholia gehörige Fragmente ausgewertet.
In Kapitel IV wird sodann versucht, am Beispiel der Hieronymus-Edition die Vertriebsstrategien der Geschäftspartnerschaft Froben/Erasmus aufzuzeigen. Als Ergänzung dazu kann man Appendix VII über Holbeins Erasmus-Porträt in der Radnor Collection lesen.
Kapitel V gilt der Rezeption der Ausgabe von 1515 an, d.h. von dem Moment an, da ihr bevorstehendes Erscheinen weit herum bekannt wurde, und Erasmus’ Reaktion auf Lob und Kritik. Auch werden annotierte Exemplare aus dem Besitz bedeutender Theologen wie Luther, Zwingli und Bullinger vorgestellt. Appendix V behandelt den Index expurgatorius der katholischen Kirche von 1571 und bietet eine kritische Edition der die Hieronymus-Edition betreffenden Passagen.
Erst nach dem Echo auf die Ausgabe werden in Kapitel VI die weiteren von Erasmus besorgten Auflagen behandelt, da Erasmus bei seinen Neubearbeitungen oft auf geäusserte Kritik reagiert hat. Kapitel VII gehört mit Appendix II zusammen. Während die Appendix einen möglichst vollständigen chronologischen Katalog der Nachdrucke der Ausgabe enthält, sind diese Nachdrucke in Kapitel VII in zusammengehörigen Gruppen behandelt und als Zeugnisse für die Rezeption ausgewertet. Die in Kapitel VIII vorgestellten Übersetzungen sollen das Bild der Rezeption abrunden.
Kapitel IX schliesslich ist einem im allgemeinen eher mit wenig Respekt abgehandelten, aber äusserst nützlichen und vom Publikum hoch geschätzten Bestandteil der Ausgabe reserviert, nämlich den Indizes zu den verschiedenen Auflagen.
Summary:
In 1515-16, the first complete edition of the works of the Church Father St. Jerome was published by Johannes Froben in Basel. This edition, a milestone in the history of patristic editions, was the result of the merging of two originally independent projects: In Basel, from the late 1480ies the printer Johannes Amerbach had been realizing his idea of providing reliable complete editions of the four great Latin Fathers of the Church (Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory the Great). After the publication of Ambrose and Augustine, he embarked from 1507 on preparatory work for the edition of Jerome, which was considerably more complicated. On the other hand, Erasmus of Rotterdam had been planning an edition of Jerome ever since 1500. In 1514, Erasmus and Amerbach's successor, Johannes Froben, united their forces, the result being the edition mentioned above, in nine volumes. Erasmus was responsible primarily for the first four volumes containing the Letters as well as polemic and apologetic writings. Apart from elaborate introductions to these volumes, he wrote synopses (argumenta) of and annotations (scholia) on the single works. Moreover, he acted as advisor to the editors of vols. V-IX, and he contributed a critical catalogue of works as well as a biography of Jerome.
The thesis, now made accessible also online, has been conceived as a preliminary study and basis of an edition of the Scholia of Erasmus of Rotterdam in the Amsterdam edition of the works of Erasmus (ASD). It is neither the long wished-for comprehensive study of Jerome's influence of Erasmus nor an investigation of the contents, structure, and intention of the annotations. Its subject is the nascency, the reception, and the various revisions of the edition as a whole and most specifically of the Scholia. Since we are not nearly as well-documented on any other of Erasmus's editions and because this edition did not only play a crucial role in Erasmus's life, but also in the history of patristics, it seemed worthwhile to establish an exemplary account of its origin and and history.
Subsequent to the introduction, which puts the edition of Jerome in its larger context, and an overview of the research work done so far (chap. I), chap. II contains a compilation of the more extensive editions of Jerome published before 1516, and illustrates their interrelations. This account, too, serves to define the position of our edition in its historical context.
The next chapter (III) is an outline of the making of the first edition. Erasmus's work on, and relation to Jerome are characterized concisely. The focus, however, is on Erasmus's work on the edition. The preparatory work of Amerbach and Froben respectively is given ample attention as well, for it was constitutional for the quality and success of the edition. Appendix I, dedicated to the manuscript of Erasmus's Scholia, is to be read with this chapter. It recounts the history of the manuscript, the research dedicated to it, and its contents and structure; moreover several fragments not belonging to the Scholia are analysed and interpreted.
Following this, chap. IV is an attempt to illustrate, using the edition of Jerome as a paradigm, the marketing strategies of the business partnership Froben/Erasmus. It is complemented by Appendix VII about Holbein's portrait of Erasmus in the Radnor Collection.
Chapter V treats the response to the edition from 1515, viz. from the date when the news of its imminent publication had spread widely, and Erasmus's reaction to praise and criticism. Moreover it offers descriptions of annotated copies once in the ownership of eminent theologians such as Luther, Zwingli, and Bullinger. Appendix V deals with the Index expurgatorius of the Catholic Church of 1571, including a critical edition of the passages concerning the edition of Jerome.
So it is only after the response to the first edition that the later editions attended to by Erasmus are discussed in chapter VI, for Erasmus used to take into account critical comments in his revisions. Chapter VII is to be read with Appendix II, which contains as complete as possible a catalogue of the reprints of the edition in chronological order. This forms the basis for grouping them according to their interdependencies in chapter VII and analysing them as testimonies for the reception of the edition. The translations presented in chapter VIII serve to complete the reception history.
Finally, chapter IX is dedicated to a part of the edition not normally treated with great respect, but a very useful one and held in high esteem by the public, namely the indices to the various editions and impressions

Freedom, resentment, and the metaphysics of morals/ Pamela Hieronymi.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Description An innovative reassessment of philosopher P. F. Strawson's influential "Freedom and Resentment" P. F. Strawson's 1962 paper "Freedom and Resentment" is one of the most influential in modern moral philosophy, prompting responses across multiple disciplines, from psychology to sociology. In Freedom, Resentment, and the Metaphysics of Morals , Pamela Hieronymi closely reexamines Strawson's paper and concludes that his argument has been underestimated and misunderstood. Line by line, Hieronymi carefully untangles the complex strands of Strawson's ideas. After elucidating his conception of moral responsibility and his division between "reactive" and "objective" responses to the actions and attitudes of others, Hieronymi turns to his central argument. Strawson argues that, because determinism is an entirely general thesis, true of everyone at all times, its truth does not undermine moral responsibility. Hieronymi finds the two common interpretations of this argument, "the simple Humean interpretation" and "the broadly Wittgensteinian interpretation," both deficient. Drawing on Strawson's wider work in logic, philosophy of language, and metaphysics, Hieronymi concludes that his argument rests on an implicit, and previously overlooked, metaphysics of morals, one grounded in Strawson's "social naturalism." In the final chapter, she defends this naturalistic picture against objections. Rigorous, concise, and insightful, Freedom, Resentment, and the Metaphysics of Morals sheds new light on Strawson's thinking and has profound implications for future work on free will, moral responsibility, and metaethics. Biography Pamela Hieronymi is professor of philosophy at the University of California, Los Angeles. Endorsements "Hieronymi is an expert guide to the twists and turns of Strawson's 'Freedom and Resentment,' arguably the single most influential paper on free will and moral responsibility. The book is an important contribution to our understanding of Strawson, and will become an essential reference for philosophers." -Sarah Buss, coeditor of Contours of Agency "This is an exciting and groundbreaking book that has the potential to reshape our understanding of the nature of morality and our practices of holding one another responsible." - Angela M.

A New Marulić: Vita divi Hieronymi
Get PDFEven if it is well known to the students of national literary historiography that Marko Marulić (1450-1524), the “father of Croatian literature”, wrote a Life of St. Jerome, the text was retained lost. Yet, a codex containing the Latin life of Jerome exists in the British Library in London (Ms. Add. 18.029) and was registered on several occasions (Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Library in the Years 1848-1853. London 1868, p. 72; Index of Manuscripts in the British Library. Vol. 7, Cambridge 1985, p. 33; P.O. Kristeller Iter Italicum. Volume IV /Alia itinera II/: Great Britain to Spain. London & Leiden 1989, p. 103).
The full title of Marulić’s text reads: The Life of Saint Jerome Presbyter Composed by Marko Marulić; with the Miracles which Cyril, the Bishop of Nazareth, Narrated about him, Added in Abbreviated Form (Vita diui Hieronymi Presbiteri a Marco Marulo edita: adiectis miraculis que de illo Cyrillus Nazarethi episcopus commemorat in summamque redactis breuiorem). The whereabouts of the manuscript in the last two centuries is revealed by a couple of short annotations written on the title page: HIC LIBBER (sic!) EST MEI Francisci Mainardi Ferrariensis 1790, and, beneath, Purchased at Rodd‚s sale. Feb 1850 (Lot 574). After Marulić´s death the codex passed into the possession of Split Dominicans. Subsequently, it was carried from the monastic library to Italy. This happened, most probably, after the plague in Split, in 1784, when the monastery was, first, turned into the lazaret for the aristocracy and, then, given over to the “gravediggers and the lowest strata of the city populace” to live in. In Italy the manuscript was bought or purchased in some other way by a member of the famous family of London booksellers, the Rodds. It seems that the new owner of the manuscript was Thomas Rodd Jr. (1796-1849) This renown bibliophile died without a heir and the manuscript was put for auction within ten months of his death.
The codex is on fine parchment, comparatively small in size (152x102 mm) and bound in hard covers of a later date (160x110 mm). The codex comprises 42 folios. It should be noted that the original numbering in Roman numerals did not include the title folio (i.e. 2 = I, 3 = II etc.). With the exception of a part of the first, second and last folios, the manuscript is in a very good state of preservation. It is written in nice hand, in an uniform rhythm of 22 lines per page. The titles and the marginal notes referring to the contents are set off in red ink, which, in some places, is slightly faded. Although the specialists will easily notice that the codex was not written in a single effort, all the folios were evidently written by the same hand. It is certain that what we have here is Marulić’s autograph. The quality of the employed materials and the care with which it was written point to the conclusion that this copy must have been intended for Marulić’s personal library. That the London codex is Marulić’s autograph may be confirmed by some details characteristic of Marulić, like the spiral marginal signs indicating quotations or the drawings of hands with a pointed finger stressing the maxims in the text. Even the orthography is the one we know from other Marulić’s autographs: the systematic use of “e” and “ij”, the consistent spelling of consyderare, desyderare, demones, penitere etc.
Vita diui Hieronymi is, undoubtedly, the most important text of the codex. However, apart from the Saint‚s biography, the London manuscript also contains some shorter texts. Immediately preceding the Life is a dedicatory poem for the pope Leo X (1v: Pro sanctissimo patre Leone decimo Pont. max. M. Maruli oratio). The Saint‚s biography, as it may be inferred already from the title, is subdivided into smaller units: the prose prologue (2-2v: Legimus diui Hieronymi presbiteri uitam autore incerto...), the biography proper (2v-21: Hieronymus presbiter /ut ipse de se testatur.../), the epitaph in twelve elegiac distichs (21: Condita Hironymi recubant hoc ossa sepulchro), the abbreviated account of the Saint‚s posthumous miracles, as announced in the title (21v-20: Miracula eius post obitum), and the list of Saint‚s works (30v’37: Opera quae scripsit). The manuscript ends with two texts already known, more or less in the form in which they were published for the first time by Ivan Lučić (Ioannes Lucius) in his famous De regno Dalmatiae et Croatiae (Amsterdam, 1666): a polemic discussion on Jerome‚s origins (37-41: In eos qui beatum Hieronymum Italum fuisse contendunt) and the laudatory poem in Saint‚s honor (41’42: De laudibus diui Hieronymi carmen).
The personal motifs which spurred Marulić to write Jerome‚s biography are clearly stated in the short prologue: The author was motivated by the chronological disorder which he had noticed in the anonymous biography which he had read, as well as by the fact that it had left out some episodes “which could have stressed more fully the saintliness of the man and be of profit to us” (2). Therefore, he decided to put the events into the right chronological order and make up for the factual omissions, relying primarily on the words of Jerome himself and the testimonies of Augustine, Cyril and Sulpicius Severus: Nihil intactum pretermittam quod de illo usquam legere potui, ne tantus ac talis uir sua laude (quantum in me est) fraudetur (2-2v).
Marulić’s main sources were the known anonymous hagiographies (1) Hieronymus noster and (2) Plerosque nimirum; also (3) Vita sancti Hieronymi collecta ex tractatibus eius ac sanctorum Augustini, Damasi, Gregorii, Gelasii, et aliorum patrum sanctorum, whose author was Nicolò Maniacoria (Nicola Maniacutia), Roman biblicist from the mid-12th century. Also, he abundantly drew on epistolary apocrypha by Pseudo-Eusebius (Epistula Eusebii Cremonensis de morte Hieronymi), Pseudo-Augustine (Epistula sancti Augustini ad Cyrillum Hierosolymitanum de magnificentiis beati Hieronymi) and Pseudo-Cyril (Epistula Cyrilli ad Augustinum de miraculis Hieronymi). For the data on Jerome‚s life Marulić relied on two incunabula: the two-volume edition of Jerome‚s letters compiled by an unknown typographer, in Parma, in 1484, and the two-volume edition of Jerome‚s biblical commentaries printed in Venice, in 1497 and 1498 by Giovanni and Gregorio de‚ Gregori.
Marulić finished the biography in spring 1507, as is witnessed by his letter to the Venetian notary Jacopo Grassolari. Anticipating in a way the problems that would block the publication of the text he wrote that he would be content if others do a better job, following his steps (fortasse aliquis ... nostro exemplo prouocatus, idem et exquisitiore stilo et sententiis grauioribus efficiet. Tunc ego ista nostratia libenter aboleri patiar). As early as 1513, or shortly afterwards, he still hoped that he would be able to print this work; as is witnessed by the subsequent interpolation of the dedicatory poem for Leo X (1513-1521). Anyway, in 1522 he printed the same poem at the end of his epistle to Hadrian VI, changing only the name of the addressee in the 1st and 13th lines (Leoni : Adriano). It is obvious that he no more counted on the publication of his Life.
The reason for his giving up almost certainly lies in the fact that in the meantime, in Basel, appeared Erasmus‚s edition of Jerome, marking the turning-point in jeromian philology. It was preceded by the famous Vita composed by Erasmus himself. Undoubtedly, Marulić was aware that his Life did not satisfy the high standards set by this editorial enterprise. Of this were probably also aware his compatriots Vinko Pribojević (Vincentius Priboevius, born at the start of the second half of the 15th century, died after1532) and Ivan Lučić (Ioannes Lucius, 1604-1679), who of the whole codex used only the texts that were not controversial (In eos qui beatum Hieronymum Italum fuisse contendunt and De laudibus diui Hieronymi carmen), passing over in silence the rest.
This study is followed by the editio princeps of Marulić’s Vita diui Hieronymi (edited by Darko Novaković)

The Epyllion Topographia Divi Hieronymi Sacelli of Gilberto Grineo (edition, translation and commentary)
Get PDFČlanak donosi kontekstualni i filološki okvir nastanka epilija Topographia divi Hieronymi sacelli talijanskog humanista i trogirskog učitelja Gilberta Grinea, kao i njegovo prvo cjelovito izdanje, hrvatski prijevod u metru i komentar teksta nužan za tumačenje složene pjesničke slike koju je Grineo sastavio u 172 heksametra.An interesting insight into the cultural scenes of Trogir and Split at the waning of the 15th century is provided by the Latin poems that during their stay in Dalma¬tia the Italian humanist Gilberto Grineo, rector scholarum in Trogir (1496-1499), and his son Marcantonio dedicated to members of the local intellectual elite. In a comprehensive study made in the middle of the last century, the Italian philologist Baccio Ziliotto drew attention to the Trieste manuscript R. P. 2-53 in which these poems are contained. He took, for scholars of the national cultural history in this country, with his pioneering ploughing through the occasionally hardly legible manuscript of almost 160 folios, a crucial first step, placing in the focus of his interest a segment of the poetic correspondence with addressees from Split and Trogir, including some of the leading names of the humanist scene of the time. But even Ziliotto failed to notice that behind the longest poem in the collection, Gilberto’s 172 hexameter-long Virgilian epyllion Topographia divi Hieronymi sacelli (about 1497) there was a unique description of the pilgrimage of the lea¬ders of the commune of Trogir to the shrine of St Jerome on Marjan Hill, a site that was at that time closely connected with the spiritual formation of the most celebrated Croatian humanist inheritor of the ideas of St Jerome, Marko Marulić. In the context of the fact that precisely at that time, the ending of the 15th century, the veneration of St Jerome in Dalmatia experienced a powerful surge, one more literary elaboration of the motif of St Jerome does not amount to anything very remarkable. However, this uncommon poetic vision, devised as an encomium on Venetian rule in Trogir, is picked out from conventional examples of the occasional poetry in this area by it being Jerome himself that is transmitting to the pilgrims prophetic revelations about the forthcoming glorious battles with the Ottomans. It becomes an authentic testimony to the Dalmatian perception at the turn of the 15th century of St Jerome not only as a cultural patron but as a prime protector of the nation to whom recourse was made in the face of the Turkish menace.
The article gives a contextual and philological framework for the origin of the epyllion. The research draws attention not only to the undoubted historical motif in its background but also to a new dating for Grineo’s birth (1435), gives a more precise determination of his employment in Dalmatia (Trogir, 1496-1499) and provides reasons for the hypothesis that manuscript R. P. 2-53 was mostly written by Gilberto Grineo in his own hand. The introductory study is accompanied by a complete edition of the epyllion, a Croatian metrical translation and a commen¬tary on the text necessary for an interpretation of the complex poetic image that Grineo left for his readers
