- Un comentario crítico filológico a las ediciones de la obra historiográfica del padre Juan de Mariana(2025) Sánchez Torres, FranciscoUna de las figuras claves para entender las relaciones entre el Humanismo y el poder en la España del siglo XVI y XVII es el padre jesuita Juan de Mariana. Su principal obra, de carácter historiográfico, fueron las Historiae de rebus Hispaniae, que él mismo interpretó al castellano como Historia general de España. Esta obra supuso un análisis crítico de la genealogía del poder castellano bajo las premisas del Humanismo católico y antimaquiavélico de Mariana. Como fuente de la que beberían otras obras de Mariana, como su tratado pedagógico De Rege et Regis institutione, consideramos fundamental comenzar a abordar las Historiae desde una perspectiva filológica. Para ello, presentamos una aproximación a las ediciones, continuas y frecuentes en vida del autor, de estos libros. A través de nuestro estudio pretendemos reunir una descripción de todas las ediciones impresas latinas y castellanas de la obra.
- Interrogativas indirectas con MH e Indicativo en la medicina griega: un rasgo de empatía.(2025) García Novo, ElsaLos médicos griegos utilizan ocasionalmente una interrogativa indirecta introducida por μ? y seguida de Indicativo, para indagar sobre un síntoma desfavorable del enfermo: “Pregunto, pues me temo que tiene …” Expresan de este modo su rechazo a la probable gravedad del paciente, dando así muestras de empatía.
- Autógrafos de Pedro Joan Núñez(2025) Núñez González, Juan MaríaEn este artículo se analizan varios documentos manuscritos atribuidos a Pedro Joan Núñez, humanista español (c. 1529-1602), para determinar si realmente son autógrafos (propria manu scripta) This paper checks some manuscript documents attributed to Petrus Ioannes Nunnesius, a Spanisch humanist (c. 1529 - 1602), in order to evaluate whether they are actually autographs (propria manu scripta)
- Patrum imagines: metamorfosi della paternità in Ovidio (parte 2)(2025) Zanfardino, AntonioPartendo da un’indagine dell’importanza del motivo parentale nell’ideologia augustea, il contributo intende analizzare la deformazione mitica dell’immagine paterna operata da Ovidio nelle Metamorfosi, individuando in essa una delle tante espressioni di instabilità presenti nell’anomalo poema epico. In particolare, la rappresentazione deviante che l’autore fornisce di tre padri mitici –Febo, Dedalo e Teseo, questi ultimi due oggetto della presente riflessione– potrebbe offrire nuovi spunti interpretativi di natura socio-antropologica per la vexata quaestio dell’augusteismo dell’opera ovidiana. PAROLE CHIAVE: Ovidio, Metamorfosi, paternità, augusteismo, Dedalo, Teseo.
- A Proppian Approach to the Acts of Xanthippe and Polyxene(2025) Martínez Arias, Fr. Carlos JulioOur aim in this paper is to obtain the functional and morphological structure of the Acts of Xanthippe and Polyxene, according to V. Propp’s model. The functions of the text will be analyzed in order to draw the sequences that constitute the plot of the story. Furthermore, the different types of Proppian characters will be enumerated. At last, the subsequent results will show more clearly the similarities between this and other novelesque or hagiographical texts.
- The two female duces in the Aeneid: The comparing the figures of Camilla and Dido through an analysis of the common adjectives used to describe them(2025) Tortorella, ClaudiaThis article analyzes the figure of Camilla in the Aeneid and compares it with the renow-ned figure of Dido to identify the principal similarities and differences between them. In particular, tobetter understand Virgil’s view of the two, I collect and comment on the adjectives used to describe both figures and show that the majority are used with different meanings and for different purposes, emphasizing the uniqueness of the two duces in the poem
- The «Women of Clement»(2025) Cerno, MariannaAn unknown fragment, whose discovery was announced in 2018 and whose edition is in print, provides us with a fresh perspective on the pseudo-Clementine topic. The recovered fragment – probably dating from the second half of the 4th century but based on a main source from the 3rd century – describes the beginning of the Clementine saga, of which Rufinus' Recognitiones tells the end instead. In the fragment, a number of women stand out for their role, their characterisation, and their contribution to the development of events: different not only in character but also in beliefs and customs, these women share certain inner values, the same ones that allow young Clement to grow and mature. The recovered fragment is an emblematic expression of the cultural melting pot and trans-religious environment of early Judaeo-Christianity. It was also the most effective mean by which the contents of the new religion were transmitted to and internalized by the most sensitive and receptive personalities of the pagan culture and mentality of the time: educated women.
- (Im)pious Sisterhood: Maximus the Cynic’s Dangerous Liaisons(2025) De Blasi, AlessandroThis paper focuses on analyzing Gregory of Nazianzus’ poem (II 1, 41) against his rival Maximus the Cynic, aiming to reconsider the role of women in Early Christianity from a gender-oriented perspective. In a specific passage (v. 49-53), the author appears to reference female assistants who allegedly supported Maximus’s betrayal, yet this allusion remains obscure and requires further investigation. Following a review of existing scholarship, the paper presents a new analysis and interpretation of the passage in view of a forthcoming critical edition of the entire poem. By placing this reference within a broader context and exploring parallels with female communities in Gregory’s works and contemporary patristic literature, it becomes evident that Gregory’s accusation is related to the emerging phenomenon of «syneisaktism». This thorough and updated analysis aims to achieve two main objectives. Firstly, it offers a new, more detailed, and culturally aware interpretation of the poem. Secondly, by examining its manuscript tradition, including its Syriac translation, it demonstrates the passage's corruption, thereby proposing a new conjecture.
- Ready to strike a blow – Women and Violence in Petitions from Egypt and Early Christian Discourse(2025) El Mansy, AliyahThe judge in Luke 18:5 is afraid that a widow is going to give him a black eye. Is this rooted in every day experience? The article looks for evidence for every day physical violence used by women. Every now and then we have petitions from Egypt accusing women of violent behavior. An analysis of this material generates some patterns regarding violence used by women. Against the background of this results, early Christian literature can be understood more nuanced compared to their environment. The article shows that petitions from Egypt support a literal translation of Luke 18:5 and that there are different attitudes and contradictory gender stereotypes to be found in Early Christian Literature regarding violence used by women.
- Saint Catherine through the Lens of Feminism?(2025) Benvenuto, Carmelo NicolòSaint Catherine of Alexandria has been defined by modern scholarship as a “Ghost Saint”, for her possible identification of the hagiographical figure as a hypostasis of the Late-Antique philosopher, Hypatia of Alexandria. Since Hypatia herself has been often interpreted as a “feminist” or “proto-feminist” icon, one could wonder if and to what extent a Female Studies’ perspective would be useful to let modern scholars understand Catherine’s figure in herself. The aim of this paper will be to propose some possible interpretations of Saint Catherine’s functions through the lens of Female Studies, trying to disentangle in a diachronic approach some of the most significant moments of her literary and erudite representation, focusing in particular on the key-moment of its early modern reception.
- Donne che battezzano(2025) Crostini, BárbaraA painted panel with the scene of the rescue of Moses from the Nile in the Dura Europos synagogue is here discussed in relation to the question of women baptizers in the Didascalia apostolorum. The panel and the document are roughly contemporary and from the same region, Syria. A baptismal reading of the panel where women enact Moses’ safe delivery from the threat of exposure, and name and wash him with ritual vessels, reveals the baptismal typology of the scene. However, patristic tradition almost entirely neglects the rescue of Moses among the many baptismal typologies of episodes from his life. This observation leads to an understanding of women’s marginalization as a theological choice removing baptismal significance from the acts of birth and naming that were the prerogative of womenfolk, especially mothers.
