    Notas acerca del léxico de Minucio Félix

    Minucio Félix, un autor cristiano de África en el S. II a.C., tiene un estilo elegante que evita en la medida de lo posible términos cristianos, a diferencia de otros autores en el mismo grupo. En estas páginas, vamos a estudiar un punto particular en el vocabulario de su libro “Octavius”: el "hapax", tratando de descubrir las posibles razones de su uso. En particular, hemos encontrado estas: “adstrangulatus, consubsido, imbarbis, inexesus, intergressus, multivira, notaculum, paenitenter, procupido”. Tras el análisis de estos términos, llegamos a la conclusión de que se forman con bases léxicas preexistentes, algo habitual en este período y entre los autores cristianos; y, además, parecen responder a una necesidad del contexto y podríamos incluso preguntarnos si no constituyen el estilo característico de autores africanos en este período.Minucio Felix, a Christian author from Africa in s. II a.D., has an elegant style which avoids as far as possible Christian terms, unlike other authors in the same group. In these pages, we will study a particular point in the vocabulary of his book “Octavius”: the “hapax legomena”, trying to discover the possible reasons for their use. Particularly, we have found these: “adstrangulatus, consubsido, imbarbis, inexesus, intergressus, multivira, notaculum, paenitenter, procupid”o. After analysing these terms, we come to the conclusion that they are formed with preexistant lexical bases, something usual in this period and among Christian authors; and besides they seem to respond to a necessity of the context and we could even ask ourselves if they do not constitue the characteristic style of African authors in this period.notPeerReviewe

    The octavius of marcus minucius felix as an example of early apologetics: introduction, translation, commentary.

    This MA thesis presents a Lithuanian translation of Marcus Minucius Felix’s work "Octavius" with accompanying text commentaries. Marcus Minucius Felix (c. 2nd–3rd c.) was an apologist of early Christianity, one of the first Christian writers in Latin. Very little is known about the author of the work. The scanty information available suggests that Minucius Felix, a convert Christian and a lawyer in Rome, was of North African descent. The dialogue "Octavius" is the only surviving work by Minucius Felix and was written probably within the first third of the 3rd c. (exact date of writing not yet determined). This dialogue sheds light on the situation of Christianity and Roman paganism of the day, their mutual relationship, hate and fears towards each other. It is surprising that Minucius Felix is the only Christian apologist not to examine Christological problems; he does not even mention the name of Christ, as well as there are no direct quotations from the Holy Scripture, no consideration of the Holy Spirit, no Christian teaching on justification, and no reference to the Church as an institution. Cicero’s "De natura deorum" was deliberately chosen to be Minucius Felix’ model in style as well as in form. Furthermore, Minucius Felix certainly made use of Cicero’s "De divinatione", likewise of the "De providentia" and "De superstitione" of Seneca. The ethics of the apologia have much in common with the ideal of Stoic philosophy. At the same time "Octavius" is an elucidation of the authentic Christianity, but executed in a manner apt to impress the educated pagans. So, through the lips of the disputants - the Christian Octavius Januarius and the pagan Cecilius Natalis - one can open the “window” to the world of Greco-Roman mythology and philosophy, literature and history in seeking the true way to knowledge of God
