    The textual tradition of the Aratea of Germanicus Caesar : missing links in the « µ » branch

    No full text
    Over thirty manuscripts of the Aratea of Germanicus Caesar survive. Four represent the « Ζ » family (a « classis Francica ») ; the remainder belong to the « O » family, which is divided into two branches, « ν » (a « classis Francica » comprising six manuscripts) and « μ » (a « classis Italica »). The numerous manuscripts within this latter branch are all recentiores, save its principal manuscript, Madrid, B. N. 19 (s. XII). This codex contains a florilegium which survives elsewhere only in Cava 3 (s. XI) and Paris, Β. Ν., lat. 7418 (s. XIV), both of which lack the Aratea. It is possible, nowever, that the Aratea once formed part of Cava 3. Moreover the Aratea section of Paris 7418, now lost, was demonstrably the exemplar of at least two recentiores of the « μ » branch (Strozzi 46 and Vat. lat. 3110).L'Aratea de Germanicus Caesar nous a été transmis par plus de trente manuscrits. Quatre constituent la famille « Ζ » (une « classis Francica ») ; les autres, la famille « O », qui se divise en deux branches, « μ » (une « classis Francica » contenant six manuscrits) et « μ » (une « classis Itálica »). Tous les manuscrits de cette dernière branche sont recentiores, sauf le manuscrit principal, Madrid, B. N. 19 (s. XII). Ce manuscrit contient un florilège qui ne se trouve ailleurs que dans le Cava 3 (s. XI) et le Paris, B. N., lat. 7418 (s. XIV), qui tous les deux n'ont pas l'Aratea. Mais il est possible que l'Aratea ait fait autrefois partie de Cava 3. De plus, l'Aratea du Paris, lat. 7418, maintenant perdu, était évidemment l'exemplar de deux recentiores au moins, de la branche « μ » (Strozzi 46 et Vat. lat. 3110). 'S. Lott Elizabeth.

    Astronomical Imagery in Two Epigrams Ascribed to Germanicus Caesar (Anthologia Palatina 9.17 and 9.18)

    Full text link
    The presence of astronomical imagery in two consecutive epigrams on the theme of pursued hares in book 9 of the Anthologia Palatina (9.17 and 9.18) both strengthens their ascription to Germanicus Caesar and suggests that his astronomical and literary interests extended beyond the youthful production of a Latin translation of Aratus’ Phaenomena. The meaning of these two epigrams can only be understood fully by paying attention to the interplay of astronomical imagery between them and by considering Germanicus’ innovative account of two constellations in his Aratea: the Dog and the Hare

    Tabula Siarensis and two acts of the Senate in memory of Germanicus Caesar

    No full text
    Tabula Siarensis found in the early eighties of the 20th century in Spain has been little known in Russia until recently. In the article this important sample of the Roman religious and political culture (19 AD) is presented to the attention of every interested reader. A brief physical characteristic of the plate is given, the Latin text of the document and its translation into Russian are provided. The article reconstructs the formation history of two Senate’s decrees engraved on the bronze plates of the Tabula, collates the purposes of the enactment of the decrees in memory of Germanicus Caesar, analyses their subject meaning. To gain these results the order and some peculiarities of the Senate’s procedures in December, 19 AD are examined, as well as the substance of the terms iustitium, dies religiosus in the context of the Roman cult of the dead and posthumous glorification of the people familiar to the divus Augustus. The article proves that iustitium in memory of Germanicus was declared by the officials considerably late. On expiring of dies denicales the state mourning was terminated, but after a definite interval declared again. While Senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre (20 AD) expresses the pattern judiciary reaction of Rome to the fact of the derogation of its “mightiness”, the memorial decrees of Tabula Siarensis became an excessive response of the Senate to the cruelty of the gods who “reft away” from the citizens their really soughtafter leader. The redundancy of such response caused the quick avoidance of the deep mourning in memory of Germanicus which was introduced after the “religious days” in memory of Octavianus Augustus’ sons. The work is based on the critical issue of the Tabula texts edited by A. Sánchez-Ostiz and published in 1999

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
