Bibliographie : Octavia römische Geschichte, [vol. 1] (Nürnberg: J. Hoffmann, 1677)
No full textZur "Römischen Octavia" sind in der Herzog August Bibliothek (23:) und im Staatsarchiv (SA) Wolfenbüttel umfangreiche Vorarbeiten, Manuskripte und Diktatniederschriften erhalten, was für einen Roman des 17. und frühen 18. Jahrhunderts eine absolute Seltenheit darstellt. Über die gedruckten Bände hinaus existieren auch noch große Teile der Diktatniederschriften für einen abschließenden achten Band des Romans. Am verlässlichsten informiert hierüber die Einleitung zur Historisch-kritischen Ausgabe in HKA I, pp. XIX-LIX. Zur umfangreichen erhaltenen Korrespondenz Anton Ulrichs vgl. Mazingue (1978), pp. 887-900. Der Roman erschien in zwei Fassungen - Fassung A, verlegt in Nürnberg, und Fassung B, verlegt in Braunschweig und Wien, weichen im Text voneinander ab. A war zuerst auf vier Bände konzipiert, ist dann aber auf sechs Bände erweitert worden. Diese sechs Bände wurden 1711 zu einer Werkausgabe gruppiert. Fassung B war zuerst ebenfalls auf sechs, später auf acht Bände konzipiert, von ihr erschienen sechs Bände in Braunschweig zwischen 1712 und 1714 und ein siebter in Wien 1762. Von den Ausgaben A.3.a, A.1.b, A.2.b sind Druckvarianten überliefert, die jeweils nach den Nachdrucken der ersten drei Bände (1685-1702) und vor 1711 entstanden sind. Die ersten drei Bände der Ausgabe von 1711 bieten zum weit überwiegenden Teil Material dieser Druckvarianten
Octavia in the Octavia
No full textThe figure of Octavia in the drama of the same name is made up of leading female characters from Greek and Roman tragedy and Roman literature more than she is a reflection of historical reality. The unknown author was influenced by Seneca and drew extensively on histragedies and philosophical works. This paper will examine Seneca's influence primarily, but will also look at the author's debts to Sophocles and Euripides. Although these writers had differing ideas about the nature of tragedy, their female characters shared some defining traits: passion, obstinacy, the preference for death over indignity, loyalty to familial bonds and wrath if these are broken, and self-awareness. The author's use of these traits in creatinghis Octavia was affected by the play's genre, 'fabula praetexta', and his putative intent to demonise Nero. In order to examine the character Octavia effectively, it is also necessary to consider the roles played by Poppaea and Agrippina
