Age et institutions dans les textes crétois : étude lexical

In Cretan official texts (6th -2nd c. B.C.), for several terms used to name the ages required for some acts of civic life (oath, testimony, adoption), the analysis shows a juridical meaning specific to dialectal inscriptions, while late documents written principally in koine provide the commonplace meaning. Yet some terms subsist as dialectal characteristics.

El mundo clásico en Agustín Millares Torres: La «Introducción» a su Historia General de las Islas Canarias

"The Classical World has not gone unnoticed to Canarian historiography. Throughout the different periods, historians have shown their concern about the mythical past associated to these islands, rendering their own interpretations of such stories with unequal success. In the nineteenth century a considerable number of Canarian scholars joined that intellectual tradition. Among these, Agustín Millares Torres and Gregorio Chil y Naranjo are acknowledged as representing prototypical liberal bourgeois historiography. Taking this into account, this work aims to highlight and analyse the references to the Classical world in Millares Torres’ «Introduction » to Historia general de las Islas Canarias."

Lo mítico y literario en las islas descritas por el historiador humanista holandés Isacius Pontanus (1571-1636)

"In 1611 Ioannes Isacius Pontanus (1571-1639), a Dutch humanist historian, published an Historia urbis et rerum Amstelodamensium, in which he describes the sailings that the Dutch made at the end of the 16th century on their way to the East Indies. We analyse in this work the descriptions of the islands found by the expeditionaries. The work focuses on the trend of the humanist who, following a very old line in the storytelling of travelling tales, insists above all on the striking, mysterious, strange and paradisiacal details of the islands. It seems that his aim is to marvel the reader. It is the mystery around the islands, especially if they are distant and unknown to the readers."

Itinerario semántico del término ἐπιούσιος en Mt 6,11 y Lc 11,3

"The word ἐπιούσιος which is found in the oldest witness of the textual tradition behind the Matthew’s and Luke’s gospels, only is attested in these texts and in the divergent commentaries to these passages by later ecclesiastical authors. The present paper proposes an explanation of its origin, structure and meaning in the sociolinguistic context of Galilee, in the middle of the first century a.D. in which coexisted the Aramaic and Greek as spoken languages, as an argot between the groups of followers of Jesus from Nazaret."

El mundo mitológico clásico en el poema Los Meses de José de Viera y Clavijo

"Los Meses is an interesting epic poem by Viera y Clavijo, make up of 3106 hendecasyllabic verses that are distributed in twelve parts: the twelve months of the year. In it, Viera y Clavijo weaves a perfect spider's web in which the names of characters from mythology and from the legends of the Greek and Roman world are entangled, with a rigorous literary care, with numerous knowledges of the time, converting, in this way, its composition in a veritable didactic mini-encyclopedia, full of technicalities and specialized knowledge on many subjects."

La Interpretatio deNebrija aPersio en laDeclaraciónMagistraldeDiegoLópez

How Diego López uses the comment that Nebrija had made on the Persius’ Satires is analyzed in this work. The places where he quotes Nebrija and many explanations of the Declaración show that López owes a lot to the Interpretatio of the master Antonio.

Aeschylus apud Anytem. Semblanzas y diferencias en la relación paternofilialentre A. Ag. 1551-1559 y AP 7.646 (G-P 7)

In epigram AP 7.646 by Anyte there have been detected echoes of an Aeschylean passage: Ag. 1551-1559. In this paper we review these formal coincidences and, mainly, we examine the parallels and divergences in theme and tone between these texts. In each one of them the untimely death of a daughter before her father's is presented with pathos, but while Erato in the epigram bids him farewell with affection, Klytaimnestra’s prediction of the warm welcome that Iphigenia will give to Agamemnon in Hades is absolutely ironic. This contrast entails that the reference to the tragedy and, through it, to Homer, is not merely a display of erudition. On the contrary: Anyte reinforces, by means of a deft counterpoint towards her model, the emotionality and authenticity of the feelings transmitted by her epigram.

El tópico de lo positivo frente a lo negativo en islas del Atlántico

"A story that has often attracted the attention not only of researchers but also of readers is that about two sources, two rivers or two types of trees that produce water or liquid with opposite qualities. This paper reviews and analyses some passages of mainly Greek and Latin texts in which this phenomenon appears referring to some islands of the Atlantic Ocean."
