The essay aims to outline the history of the teaching of Modern Greek at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice: it started with its foundation in 1868, with Costantino Triantafillis, and was interrupted for more than a century from 1890. This paper also deals with the history of the discipline from 1868 until today, with an eye on the connection with the political and cultural life of the country and on the relationship with other disciplines (such as Ancient Greek language and literature and Byzantine civilization). After an interval of a century classes of Modern Greek started up again at Ca’ Foscari in 1994-95 thanks to the teaching of Lucia Marcheselli Loukas. Since 1998 the teaching has been revived with a tenured professor and, in the last twenty years, it has trained graduate students and young scholars who today play a cultural and linguistic role of mediation between Italy and Greece.

Plan for a Grundtvigian Grammar School 1832By Henning HeilesenThis paper brings to light a number of previously unknown documents giving a clear picture of the resistance with which the University of Copenhagen met an application from two of Grundtvig’s young friends, J. F. Fenger and C. H. Muus, for permission to establish a school preparing its pupils for University entrance along the lines laid down by Grundtvig: Greek language and literature, rather than Latin, was to provide the basis, a living language was to be preferred to a dead one, the study of the mother tongue and history was to receive the bulk of attention, and the instruction in religion was to be based on Biblical history. C. H. Muus had taught Grundtvig’s children at home alone these lines, using as texts for instance Grundtvig’s Krønike-Riim (1829) and Historisk Børne-Lærdom with the key-map “ Tidens Strøm” , which appeared at approximately the same time. What especially displeased the professors who were to approve the plan was the idea of beginning the instruction in Greek with the Gospel according to St. John and of including Modern Greek alongside of Old Greek. The Senate also missed mathematics in the curriculum and regretted that the possibility of pupils returning to the traditional school in case their parents might wish so had not been provided for. - The plan proved harmful to both Fenger and Muus in their later careers and influenced Grundtvig’s article “Den latinske Stil” (1834). Peder Hjorth, the contemporary critic, characterised it as a “mixture of chauvinism and Romanophobia” . Grundtvig instead concentrated his endeavours on the plan for a folk high school.

The volume collects thirty-six essays honouring Ettore (‘Willy’) Cingano, Professor of Greek Language and Literature at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. Current and former colleagues, students, and friends have contributed new studies on various aspects of Classical antiquity to celebrate his seventieth birthday. The work consists of seven main sections, mirroring and complementing Willy’s research interests. We start with the subjects to which Willy has contributed the most during his career, early Greek hexameter poetry (chapters 2-6: Calame, Coward, Currie, Meliadò, Sider) and lyric, broadly intended (chapters 7-15: Spelman, Cannatà Fera, Le Meur, Prodi, Tosi, Vecchiato, Hadjimichael, D’Alessio and Prauscello, de Kreij). Next come tragedy (Lomiento, Dorati), Hellenistic and later Greek poetry (Perale, Hunter, Bowie, Franceschini), historiographical and other Greek prose (Andolfi, De Vido, Gostoli, Cohen-Skalli, Kaczko), Latin poetry (Barchiesi, Garani, Mastandrea, Mondin), and finally linguistics and the history of scholarship, ancient and modern (Benuzzi, Cassio, Giangiulio, Guidorizzi, Tribulato). The volume is bookended by a collection of translations from medieval and modern Greek poetry (Carpinato) and a reflection on the dynamic aspect of the sublime (Schiesaro).

As a student at Cambridge forty years ago I received a good training in the language and literature of classical Greece, and had the good fortune to study paleography under the late E. H. Minns. For all this I am deeply grateful. But I had no training in Byzantine Greek. It was only later, and more or less by accident, that I discovered Byzantine and Modern Greek. It is not my intention to discuss the wider aspects of this question now, but to appeal, on the basis of some passages in the Oresteia, for a new approach to textual criticism, or rather for the renewal of an old approach.

Much has been written on Greek diglossia and the language struggle (between katharevousa and dhimotiki). Defenders of katharevousa have emphasized the importance of the language’s roots in ancient Greek, opponents of katharevousa have emphasized the idea that the Greek language should be first and foremost ‘the language of the people’.
