Reading Plato before Platonism (after Heidegger)
Authors: Warnek Peter 
Published: April 2008

Abstract"Platonism" is not only an example of this movement, the first "in" the whole history of philosophy. It commands it, it commands this whole history. [But the "whole" of this history is conflictual, heterogenous; it gives place to only relatively stabilizable hegemonies. Thus, it is never totalized, never totalizes itself.] A philosophy as such (an effect of hegemony) would henceforth always be "Platonic." Hence the necessity to continue to try to think what takes place in Plato, with Plato, what is shown there, what is hidden, so as to win there or lose there.1
Future Plans and Perspectives of the Archaeological Institute, Moscow
Authors: Alexeev V.P. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractSince the 19th c. Russian archaeologists have studied the legacy of classical civilization in a broad area from S. Russia to the Caucasus and Central Asia, and its interaction with local cultures. The work of the Dept. of Classical Archaeology of the Institute of Archaeology focusses on 10 important Classical sites in the former USSR and on the history of the Bosporan and Chersonesite states. A new trend is the complex investigation of ancient cities and their chora (esp. of areas under threat from agriculture, building and a general deterioration of the ecology). The Dept. of Classical Archaeology collaborates in this work with several foreign research centres and ensures a wide distribution of its results through works for the general reader and exhibitions.
A Gold Medallion Representing Fortuna and Glycon From the Necropolis of Chersonesus
Authors: Treister M. Yu. , Zubar V.M. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractA burial chamber on the western necropolis of Chersonesus yielded, among burial goods of the 2nd-3rd c. A.D., a stamped gold medallion depicting Fortuna and Glycon. The cult of Fortuna was widespread in the Roman Empire, especially after the Antonines, and finds of statuettes show it to have been popular on the N. Black Sea coast too. Images of Glycon, the human-headed snake of Alexander the ps.-Prophet, are uncommon outside Egypt, though are known in Asia Minor: they are very rare accompanied by other deities. It is argued that the medallion was struck at Ionopolis near Miletus and its presence at Chersonesus is not improbable given the intensity of trading links between this city and cities of the S. Black Sea coast in the late 2nd-carly 3rd c. A.D. Also discussed is a two-sided indication, made from a 4th c. B.C. silver coin from Heraclea and found in the same complex of grave goods as the medallion.

Scythians and Sarmatians of the Northern Caucasus: Recent Archaeological Finds
Authors: Makhortykh S.V. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractFinds of tumuli in the Northern Caucasus show the permanent presence of Scythians in these parts. Tumuli excavated in the Stavropol' region (at Krasnoye Znamya and Novozavedennoe) and in Kabardino-Balkariya (near Nartan) show the influence of the Near East on early Scythian culture (7th-6th c. B.C.). The great Kuban' barrows excavated in the 1980's reveal sacred platforms or sanctuaries of the 4th c. B.C. Scythian graves have also been found in Checheno-Ingushetiya (near Achkhoi-Martan). About 300 Sarmatian complexes have been studied, largely in the NW Caucasus, revealing the penetration of Sarmatian peoples in this area.
Déesses Et Reines D'Élam
Authors: Amiet Pierre 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe article deals with reinterpretation of the cylinder seal edited by E. Porada in 1962. The author proposes another division of the composition depicted on the seal and understands it as a meeting of two goddesses which probably symbolized a union of two ethnical elements composing Elamite political entity. The presence of an eagle and a man in the composition seems to be of marginal importance. The author also attracts attention to a terracotta plaque from Susa and an impression of a cylinder seal (AO 30.000) with images of feminine figures which apparently represent Elamite queens of the first half of the 2nd millennium B.C.
Ben Stada and Peter in Lydda
Authors: Schwartz Joshua 
Published: April 2008

AbstractAn enigmatic Rabbinic tradition relates that a certain Ben Stada advocated some type of cult or religion outside the framework of normative Judaism, accordingly, he was entrapped by witnesses specifically planted for that purpose, apprehended, brought before a court and executed. These events took place, according to the Rabbis, in the Palestinian city of Lydda1).
Setting the Lutheran Eucharist
Authors: Palmer Wandel Lee 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe liturgy took place. To say that is to set the liturgy in specific architectural structures, spatial arrangements, configurations of visual images, as well as in specific human communities with unique traditions of devotional practices. In this essay, the Lutheran liturgy is "set" in two towns, Nuremberg and Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which were geographically and linguistically close. These two towns, however, had different devotional practices, different visual settings for the liturgy, different preachers and differing paces of reform. The article explores the implications of those differences for the meaning of the liturgy within each town. In so doing, it posits possible reconstructions of the liturgy as it might have been experienced, the liturgy not simply as text, but as a ritual, in which image, gesture, and spoken or sung word all participated in the performance and the meaning it conveyed.
Locating the Ottomans Among Early Modern Empires
Authors: Aksan Virginia H. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis paper describes the evolution of Ottoman military and defensive strategies in the Balkans from 1600 to 1800. It argues that three major imperial crises, engendered by sustained warfare, forced a transition from a standing army to state commissioned militias. To do so, it sites the Ottoman imperial context in a discussion of multiethnic eastern European empires, comparing Ottoman options and limitations with those of the Habsburgs and the Romanovs for the same period. The geopolitics of Danubian and Black Sea frontier territories, and the relationship between imperial center and native elites serve as two points of comparison, emphasizing the interplay between sovereignty, religious affiliation, and assimilation. By the end of the eighteenth century, Ottoman contraction and the movement of large numbers of Muslim refugees from surrendered territories, meant the increased nomadization of central Ottoman lands, and the almost total reliance on undisciplined, volunteer militias as a fighting force, whose acculturation to "Ottomanism" was never desired nor attempted by the ruling elite.
Chaucer's Prioress, the Jews, and the Muslims
Authors: Delany Sheila 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis paper explores some implications of the "Asia" setting of Chaucer's Prioress's Tale. Its method is literal and historicist. Its argument is that the tale is meant to present real, not figurative, Jews; that Chaucer had opportunity to meet and know about Jews outside of England (which had expelled its Jews in 1290); that "Asia" in Chaucer's day was under Islamic control and Europe was threatened by Islamic invasion; that Jews were often viewed as allied with, or even interchangeable with, Muslims. The paper considers some recent scholarship on the tale and ends with interpretive options that follow from a literal historicist reading.
Uto-Aztecan studies: A discussion
Authors: Geertz Armin W. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis article grew out of participation in the Workshop on Uto-Aztecan Religions and Cosmologies. The goal of the workshop was to explore similarities and differences in the religions and cosmologies of the various Uto-Aztecan societies. In this article I follow two lines of inquiry: The one promotes a comparative discussion of cosmological structural systems, and the other attempts to identify one or more motifs which might prove to be evident in Uto-Aztecan mythologies. Based on the religion of the Hopi Indians of Arizona, I suggest that one of the most productive motifs is that of gender. For the Hopis it is shown that cosmology and gender seem to converge in social and religious statements about gender that include androgynous and duogynous themes. Insights from mythology and ritual are then applied to the social ideals and practices of the Hopis.
The study of religion: Neutral, scientific, or neither?
Authors: Byrne Peter 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe aim of this article is to argue that the study of religion can be neutral and scientific, in appropriate senses of these terms. In order for the study of religion to be seen to achieve these ends, however, we need to set aside certain false ways of delimiting its aims and methods. In particular, I argue that it is false to suppose that we are faced with a straight choice between naturalistic and confessional paradigms for the conduct of the subject. We can reject this dichotomy and thereby gain the appropriate understanding of what "neutrality" and "scientific" mean in this context, if we focus on the alternative idea that religious studies has as its chief goal the delineation of an aspect of human meaning.
Description Is Not Explanation: a Methodology of Comparison
Authors: Carter Jeffrey R. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis essay presents a methodological framework for the comparative study of religion by analyzing academic description and explanation. It demonstrates how these two methods are in fact different forms of comparison with distinct goals and objectives. It further argues that description and explanation are related according to Bertrand Russell's theory of logical types and that successful comparative study adheres to the principles of logical typing. The essay aims to encourage more confident comparative studies in the History of Religions.
The Re-Orientation of Buddhism in North America!
Authors: Goldberg Ellen 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis paper applies Edward Said's thesis on the ideology of 'orientalism' to an analysis of the transplantation of Buddhism in North America. To do this, the article examines Martin Bauntann's recent model of transplantation as a strategic adaptation model for the transplantation of Buddhism to North America. In addition to this, the paper looks at the ways, in which a reoriented North American Buddhism has inherited the latent notions of orientalism.
Von einem niederländischen Frühdruck und dessen Datierung
Authors: Langer Gottfried 
Published: April 2008

AbstractOne of the titles in a recueil in the Marienbibliothek at Halle/Saale is an edition of the Tractatus logicalis de demonstrationibus sive de syllogismis demonstrativis cuiusdam excellentissimi philosophi Parisiensis, without date or place of printing and with no printer's name. Polain lists this edition in his catalogue of incunabula in Belgian libraries as probably from the Netherlands and pre-1501. M. E. Kronenberg and B. Kruitwagen follow Polain without investigating further, probably because the copy - at Ghent - described by Polain was no longer available. Other incunabula bibliographies do not mention this edition. On the basis of the types the author demonstrates that the edition must have been printed by Jacob van Breda, which does not necessarily mean that it belongs to the incunabula, since Jacob van Breda also printed after 1501. The same recueil in the Marienbibliothek also contains an edition by the same printer dating from 1506 (to be discussed in a future article). Closer examination shows that the types used in the Tractatus logicalis only appear in editions printed after 10 April 1497. The possibility that the work is an incunablc remains open, therefore, although it cannot be proved that the book was not published after 1501.
Le catalogue des manuscrits de Parc dans la Bibliotheca Belgica manuscripta d'Antoine Sanderus
Authors: Van Balberghe Emilie 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe first known catalogue of the MSS. from the library of the Norbertine Abbey of Parc, founded in 1129 and situated near Louvain, is the one that was edited in 1635, under the direction of the abbot Johannes Masius, at the request of Antonius Sanderus who published it in the second part of his Bibliotheca Belgica manuscripta (1643 or 1644). As a catalogue it is mediocre and only useful for a reconstruction of the collection. Moreover, at the beginning of the 18th century nearly all the MSS. were bound, and consequently the contents of some volumes may have changed.
Varia bibliographica
Authors: Van Den Branden Lode 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe question of to what extent Gheraert and Claes Leeu were related has occupied incunabulists for many years. In some respects their business relations are known, but it is only now, thanks to Dr. L. van den Branden's archival discovery (which he has been kind enough to communicate to Quaerendo for publication), that we can be sure that the two men were brothers. The nature of the document, taken on its own, is not, of course, immediately clear; but even so it is welconre news that Gheraert Leeu, and now Claes as well, has again been shown to have been in Bruges in 1484.
L'Université de Leyde et la République des Lettres au 17e siècle
Authors: Dibon Paul 
Published: April 2008

AbstractAlthough the University of Leiden was founded in 1575 under the most difficult circumstances, it managed to build up an international reputation, and was frequented by scholars from home and abroad before a quarter of a century had elapsed. In the early seventeenth century already the Academia Lugduno-Batava enjoyed considerable advantages, often the result of a concurrence of extraordinary circumstances and the careful policy of its Curators, so that all through the
Hugo Grotius's edition of Lucan
Authors: Witkam Paula P. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractIn this article the author brings together data concerning the printing of one of Hugo Grotius's classical text editions, Lucan's Pharsalia. The first edition was published by Raphelengius in Leiden in 1614. Reissues of this edition saw print in 1626 and 1627, and probably also in 1639. A revised edition was published in 1643 by Blaeu in Amsterdam. The house of Blaeu also brought out two Grotius editions of the Pharsalia in small format in 1619 and 1627; these editions were reprinted in 1626 and 1636 by Blaeu's neighbour Janssonius.
Een onbekende 16de-eeuwse uitgave van Dit is een suuerlijk boecxken
Authors: Huybens Gilbert 
Published: April 2008

AbstractOf the oldest printed song-book in the Netherlands: Dit is een suuerlijc boecxken (SB), six editions have been known still to exist. Four editions of SB appeared under this title: one published by A. van Berghen at Antwerp in 1508, one by W. Vorsterman also at Antwerp in 1540, and two undated ones - probably late 16th-century - by H.J. Muller at Amsterdam. Two other editions, equally undated but probably also late 16th-century were published under the title: Dit is een schoon suyverlyck Boecxken (SSB) by Th. Baert at Antwerp (Alkmaar?) and C. Claesz at Am-sterdam respectively (approbations of 17.11.1570). Of each of these editions there are provided a photograph of the title-page, the collation, a depository with classification number, and the main bibli-ography. To the above-mentioned editions a completely unknown 16th-century edition has now been added: Dit is een suyuerlijck boecxken, published by Jan II van Ghelen at Antwerp in 1565. This collection comprises 58 spiritual songs, 23 of which have an air indication, and 48 of which had already appeared in print before 1565.
Das niederländische Städtebuch des Galeazzo Gualdo Priorato (Wien 1973)
Authors: Meurer Peter H. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractIn the first half of his life Galeazzo Gualdo Priorato (b. Vicenza 1608 - d. Vienna 1678) served as an officer in various armies. In about 1640 he embarked on a career as a publicist, and in 1664 was appointed court historian by Emperor Leopold II. Among his many works is a geographical and historical description of the Low Countries (Vienna 1673) to which 138 plans of fortresses are appended. The majority of these are copies after Blaeu and Beaulieu, and only a few are of any value as partially or wholly original sources. From the point of view of the history of science the atlas is a perfect illustration of how the leading role in urban topography gradually passed from the Dutch to the French school during the last third of the seventeenth century.
A short book list compiled by Hugo Grotius
Authors: Witkam Paula P. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractA manuscript list in Hugo Grotius's own hand, containing 28 titles of books has been preserved in the Municipal Library of Rotterdam. This short list appears to have been excerpted from the Catalogus universalis, No. 1 (Amsterdam 1640), a bibliography of books printed in the Netherlands, which was brought out periodically by the Amsterdam publisher and gazetteer Broer Jansz. Grotius probably used the Catalogus as a source to supplement his knowledge of recently published books, alongside the scholarly news he received in his correspondence or through personal contacts.
Rhetorical conundrum: Der Reden-rijcken Springh-Ader (Haarlem 1614) re-examined
Authors: Simoni Anna E.C. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractBetween the beginning of 1614 and early May of the same year two issues of a book appeared at Haarlem containing the poems presented at a rhetoricians' contest held there the previous August. The first issue, entitled Nootwendich Vertoogh der alleen-suyverende Springh-Ader aller kinderen Gods, was published by David Wachtendonck and dedicated by him to the dignitaries of that city. Two variants exist of the second issue, entitled Der Reden-rijcken Springh-Ader, with the name of either Daniel de Keyser or Pieter Arentsz in the imprint. This new issue in the main retains Wachtendonck's dedication, although it is known that Pieter Arentsz also published a substitute dedication to the same dignitaries composed by the rhetoricians' chamber De Wijngaert-rancken which had organised the contest. The device of a fourth Haarlem publisher, i.e. Vincent Casteleyn, which occurs on the title-pages of the second issues serves to complicate matters further. The article attempts to disentangle this confusion by analysing the dedications and suggests that Casteleyn was the printer of the work in all its guises.
Karel van Mander's Schilder-Boeck (1604): a description of the book and its setting
Authors: Waterschoot Werner 
Published: April 2008

AbstractDutch painters, is considered to be a model of renaissance prose-writing. It has been preserved in two editions (1604 and 1618), the first of which was printed during Van Mander's life-time. Nevertheless, due to its greater readability the second edition has long been preferred. Recent research has focussed on the 1604 edition for textual matters; its printing history, however, has not yet generally been appreciated. It is the aim of the present article to study the typographical features of the Schilder-Boeck and to compare these with other books, produced by the same printer Jacob de Meester at Alkmaar. For this purpose, 11 copies of the Schilder-Boeck have been examined along with 20 items originating from the same press. Little attention is paid to the contents of the Schilder-Boeck, as this has already been done in previous bibliographical descriptions. The collational formula reveals some adaptations for the sake of updating and correction. Running-titles occur on every page,
An Ars moriendi with etchings by Romeyn de Hooghe. The history of a cycle of book illustrations
Authors: Coppens Chris 
Published: April 2008

AbstractComposed in 1673 as the result of the collaboration between the Franciscan David de la Vigne and the Dutch etcher Romeyn de Hooghe, the cycle of illustrations of the Miroir de la bonne mort was actually first drafted in an unillustrated booklet by Father David which appeared in Paris in 1646. The iconography itself was originally conceived in Spain, and a series of drawings survived. It is perfectly possible that De Hooghe elaborated his cycle of etchings on the basis of these models. Some two years later the cycle appeared in a twin edition in the Southern Netherlands.
Printers to Hendrik Niclaes: Plantin and Augustijn van Hasselt
Authors: Valkema Blouw Paul 
Published: April 2008

AbstractFrom the chronicles of the Family of Love we know that, besides printers in Deventer and later in Cologne, both Plantin and Augustijn van Hasselt printed for this religious sect. On the basis of this information quite a large number of publications have hitherto been attributed to Plantin, while only one single edition in Latin was reckoned to be the work of Augustijn. An analysis of the typography, however, shows that apart from Hendrik Niclaes's chief work, Den Spegel der Gherechticheyt, Plantin only printed two of his minor writings and that all the other ascriptions to Plantin must be revised in favour of Augustijn van Hasselt. In 1561-2 Augustijn was running a printing shop in the Dutch town of Kampen, specially set up by HN for the purpose of publishing those of his works that had not previously been printed. Plantin, who was partly involved in this enterprise, took the opportunity to have a book printed on this press for his publishing business. The analysis providing the typographical evidence of this collaboration proves for the first time the accuracy of the literary sources as regards Plantin's involvement in the publication of the works of Hendrik Niclaes. In the presentation of the new evidence it was necessary to establish more clearly the date of Plantin's '[1561]' inventory and which roman and German types he owned at what times. The article ends with some notes regarding the end of the 'Bohmbargen' press at Cologne.
