Elementi giudaici (e/o proto-cristiani) in Pap. Bon. IV? Alcune osservazioni
No full textThis essay aims at rereading the so-called Papyrus of Bologna n. IV (Pap. Bon. IV) in light of Jewish and early Christian visionary accounts. Pap. Bon. IV appears as an account of an otherworldly journey in which the pains of the hell are described, like some apocalyptic narratives from Second Temple Judaism (for example, the Fourth Book of Ezra) and Early Christianity (the Apocalypse of Peter or the Apocalypse of Paul) seem to do. Pap. Bon. IV emerges as an actual 'trait d'union' between Jewish apocalyptic descriptions of the hell, early Christian accounts concerning the other-worldly pains and the Greek-Roman (Orphic?) visions of the other-world

Cultural and Religious Cohabitations in Alexandria and Egypt between the 1st and the 6th Cent. CE
No full textThis is the introduction to the proceedings of the International Conference "Beyond Conflicts. Cultural and Religious Cohabitations in Alexandria and Egypt, between the 1st and the 6th cent. CE", Naples September 17-19 2014, Department of Humanities, University of Naples Federico II, organized in the context of the FIRB - Future in Research Program 2012 directed by Luca Arcari on "The Construction of Space and Time in the Transmission of Collective Identities. Religious Polarizations and/or Cohabitations in Ancient World (1st-6th cent. CE)" (Project n. RBFR12R82W). Were there various ways of interaction between different groups and individuals in Graeco-Roman Egypt? This volume shows that Egypt emerges as a sort of exception in the study of ancient cultures and religions, providing scholars with the possibility of relying on a great number and variety of documents, and interactively explores the diversity of documentary material for the longue durée reconstruction of a very complex micro-system where different groups and individuals lived together
Il crocifisso “orfico-bacchico”. Ancora sull’antichità della gemma di Berlino (Furtwängler 1896, no. 8830)
No full textWith regard to the gem once preserved at the Berlin museums and currently lost, depicting a crucified figure with the inscription ΟΡΦΕΟΣ ΒΑΚΚΙΚΟΣ (Furtwängler 1896, no. 8830), this article aims at demonstrating that: 1) the depiction of the crucified man is probably the work of a modern carver, 2) the inscription ΟΡΦΕΟΣ ΒΑΚΚΙΚΟΣ is most likely a copy of an ancient epigraph (which occurs not surprisingly on other ancient gems without any depiction), as can be proved by both a philological and a paleographic analysis. The carver probably acted on commission from a member of the Roman élite (perhaps in the 18th century), to whom the association between Orpheus and Christ must have had a precise cultural-ideological significance. In its final part, the article recalls some of Lupieri’s remarks on Reception History, which support the iconographic analysis as a successful method in the resumption and/or reformulation of earlier representational models
Identità collettive, identità etniche, identità religiose. Problemi aperti in prospettiva diacronica
No full textIn this monographic section, the proceedings of the International research seminar on "Ethnic Identities, Collective Identities, Religious Identities. Open Questions in the diachronic perspective" (Department of Humanities, University of Naples Federico II, February 11 2014) are published; the seminar was held in the context of the FIRB-Future in Research Project 2012 on "The Construction of Space and Time in the Transmission of Collective Identities. Religious Polarizations and/or Cohabitations in Ancient World (1st-6th cent. CE)", directed by Luca Arcari (Project no. RBFR12R82W). Today it emerges as really diriment an historical and/or historiographical discussion around questions and terms as “identity/identities”, as well as around adjectives as “ethnic/collective/religious”, especially according to the renewed perspective of the longue durée (in the title of the monographic section, the so-called “diachronic perspective”). Such a perspective aims at measuring wastes and clashes emerging from sources referring to a wider cultural and chronological horizon. We aims at proposing a multi-situated approach, in order to measure persistences and traditional lines of contact as regards ethnic, collective as well as religious self-definitions, especially in their dimensions of cultural re-functionalisations and oriented instruments of self-definitions in and for specific cultural and historical contexts
