Bibliographie Leo Perutz : Stand: 26. April 2010
No full textIn den gut eineinhalb Jahrzehnten, die seit der Bibliographie von Hans-Harald Müller und Wilhelm Schernus (Nr. 140) vergangen sind, hat sich die Perutz-Forschung etabliert. Dies zeigt schon ein flüchtiger quantitativer Vergleich. Der Abschnitt "Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen" bestand damals aus einer Handvoll Magisterarbeiten und Dissertationen; in der vorliegenden Bibliographie nimmt die Sekundärliteratur mehr als die Hälfte des Raums ein. Die Rechtfertigung einer neuen Perutz-Bibliographie liegt denn auch vor allem darin, ein aktuelles, möglichst vollständiges Verzeichnis der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zu Leo Perutz (unter Einschluß der vor 1990 erschienenen Titel) vorzulegen. Der Abschnitt "Primärliteratur" schließt dagegen chronologisch an Müller und Schernus an
A non-Boltzmannian behaviour of the energy distribution for quasi-stationary regimes of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam β system
No full textIn a recent paper [M. Leo, R.A. Leo, P. Tempesta, C. Tsallis, Physical Review E 85 (2012) 031149], the existence of quasi-stationary states for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam β system has been shown numerically, by analyzing the stability properties of the N/4-mode exact nonlinear solution. Here we study the energy distribution of the modes N/4, N/3 and N/2, when they are unstable, as a function of N and of the initial excitation energy. We observe that the classical Boltzmann weight is repaced by a different weight, expressed by a q-exponential function
Leo Strauss on Plato's "Protagoras"/ Leo Strauss; ed. by Robert C. Bartlett.
No full textIn English.A transcript of Leo Strauss's key seminars on Plato's Protagoras. This book offers a transcript of Strauss's seminar on Plato's Protagoras taught at the University of Chicago in the spring quarter of 1965, edited and introduced by renowned scholar Robert C. Bartlett. These lectures have several important features. Unlike his published writings, they are less dense and more conversational. Additionally, while Strauss regarded himself as a Platonist and published some work on Plato, he published little on individual dialogues. In these lectures Strauss treats many of the great Platonic and Straussian themes: the difference between the Socratic political science or art and the Sophistic political science or art of Protagoras; the character and teachability of virtue, its relation to knowledge, and the relations among the virtues, courage, justice, moderation, and wisdom; the good and the pleasant; frankness and concealment; the role of myth; and the relation between freedom of thought and freedom of speech. In these lectures, Strauss examines Protagoras and the sophists, providing a detailed discussion of Protagoras as it relates to Plato's other dialogues and the work of modern thinkers. This book should be of special interest to students both of Plato and of Strauss.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Note on the Leo Strauss Transcript Project -- Editorial Headnote -- Introduction -- 1 Sophistry and Rhetoric: Plato's Gorgias Reconsidered -- 2 Callicles's Challenge to Socrates in the Gorgias -- 3 Sophistry, Rhetoric, and the Philosophic Life -- 4 The Turn to the Protagoras (309a- 312b) -- 5 Meeting Protagoras (312b- 316c) -- 6 Is Virtue Teachable?

Ktētōr and Synthesis: Epigrams, Miniatures, and Authorship in the Leo Bible
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2014The Leo Bible (Rome, Vat. Reg. Gr. 1) is an illuminated Old Testament produced in Byzantium during the mid-tenth century. Presented as a gift to a monastery of St. Nicholas by Leo Sakellarios, a court eunuch and palace treasurer, the Bible is the only surviving manuscript of its kind from Byzantium. Known for its luxurious epigrams and miniatures, the Leo Bible's classicizing miniatures are frequently cited as exemplars of tenth-century Byzantine art, although the manuscript is rarely considered as whole. This study takes a new approach to the Leo Bible, focusing on the manuscript as a work of visual and poetic exegesis, in which word and image work together to frame the Old Testament in a Christian context. Beyond its exegetical nature, the Leo Bible also demonstrates a marked interest in the theme of authorship. By considering Byzantine notions of authorship in conjunction with the Bible's visual and epigrammatic program, this study offers new insights into the concept of patronage in Byzantium and the means by which patrons constructed their image and legacy through their commissions. In the case of the Leo Bible, this study will address how Leo Sakellarios is understood to be the author of the manuscript and its exegetical commentary, and how this act of authorship is reflected in the Bible's visual and poetic programs
