The Author of the Alexander Romance
No full textThis paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles

No full textDe Duitse natuuronderzoeker Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) en de Franse botanicus Aimé Bonpland (1773-1858) maakten tussen 1799 en 1803 een grote studiereis door het noordelijk gedeelte van Zuid Amerika.
De resultaten van deze reis zijn uitgegeven door Von Humboldt in het Frans in de Voyage aux régions équinoxiales du Nouveau Continent fait en 1799-1804 par A. de Humboldt et A.

Plantes (Paris/Tübingen, 1807).
Alexander von Humboldt was een veelzijdig man, zijn studies omvatten niet alleen de botanie (hij was één van de eerste plantengeografen), maar ook de fysische geografie, van welke wetenschap hij één der grondleggers is, de fysiologie, de geologie, de meteorologie en de etnologie

„... daß einem leid tut, wie er aufgehört hat, deutsch zu sein“ - Alexander von Humboldt, Preußen und Amerika
No full textAbstractWithin the context of the recent „Prussia Tricentennial 2001“, this paper encourages a different view of Prussia by offering a new look on the writings and activities of one of its most famous citizens, Alexander von Humboldt. Starting with the traditional (and problematic) image of Prussia focussed on the Hohenzollern and, above all, Friedrich II, it highlights the problems between Prussian and German historiography on one side, and the author of „Cosmos“ and his world-wide prestige on the other. Interestingly enough, the tensions or misunderstandings between Alexander and his home country can be dated back to the Humboldt family, i.e. to Wilhelm from Humboldt who noted, in a letter to his wife, how his brother had „stopped to be German“. Alexander von Humboldt's cosmopolitanism and the characteristic development of his scientific conceptions, building a globalized and globalizing praxis based upon a scientific network and continous comparisons in global scale, allow us to discover new dimensions in Humboldtian science and thinking as well as promising perspectives for understanding Alexander von Humboldt's role and significance for transdisciplinary science today -and a different view of Prussia and cultural identity in Europe beyond the well-known stereotypes
