This paper focuses on the Latin treatise De elogio, a manuscript allegedly written by Nicolás de Peza (1712-1777), a Jesuit from New Spain. Since it has not received practically any attention, I tackle its authorship, and then I analyze its structure, its content, the author’s pedagogical intentions. As I will show, the treatise provides us with both technical and aesthetic parameters to assess the many examples of acumen in those elogia, which had huge success in 18th Century New Spain.
本文主要关注拉丁语论文《De elogio》,据称该手稿由新西班牙耶稣会士Nicolás De Peza(1712-1777)撰写。由于它实际上没有受到任何关注,我研究了它的作者身份,然后分析了它的结构、内容和作者的教学意图。正如我将要展示的那样,这篇论文为我们提供了技术和美学参数,以评估那些在18世纪新西班牙取得巨大成功的作品中的许多敏锐的例子。

My purpose in this paper is to analize the trilogy Lycurgeia of Aeschylus in order to provide an insight into the characterization of Dionysus in the tragic genre. The extant fragments describe his androgynous appearance and the effects of his arrival in Thracia. Other sources on the same myth will be included; particularly I will focus on Euripides’ Bacchae, because of its links with the myth of Pentheus.

In the turbulent Europe of the World Wars, two French thinkers of Jewish Origin wrote both essays on the Iliad: Simone Weil (The Iliad, or the Poem of Force, 1940-1941) and Rachel Bespaloff (On the Iliad, 1943). Both writers have in common the return to the foundational texts of Western culture —Homer in the Classical tradition and the Bible and the Gospels in the Christian tradition— to rethink war and barbarism. This paper analyses the concept of ‘force’ in both authors, their similarities and differences, in order to conclude on the way in which this notion determines their interpretation of the Homeric poem.

Luis Felipe Jiménez Jiménez
The object of this paper is to establish the meaning and relevance of recovering the contents of pagan religion practiced by ancient Roman Republic, as the basis of the civil lifestyle conceived by Machiavelli in his idea of a mixed republic, through Discourses on Livy, one of his most mature political works. Here we can determine that Machiavelli, while searching to establish a civil religion model, found that not all Roman tradition was equally useful to him. Thus, ruminations on Roman religious tradition by authors such as Cicero or Lucretius, enable him, on the one hand, to sharpen his critical thinking regarding to the role played by religious beliefs and practices as forms of domination achieved through manipulation of fear and superstition. On the other hand, through Roman history and tradition while following Titus Livy, he finds that such critical stances are the expression of the crisis of the Republic, lead towards a dead-end, weaken legitimate authority, cause turmoil, and culminate in tyranny. Consequently, within the narrative of the Paduan historian, Machiavelli finds the model he was seeking for, an instrumentum regni that brings together all levels of society, helps to recognize authority, legitimizes hierarchies, and educates both dominated people and dominators, civitas becoming the beginning and end of all things. By following the search undertaken by Machiavelli it is possible to understand his purpose, that is to say, to refine his criticism of the period’s dominant religion: Christianity. Therefore, far from seeking a reestablishment of paganism (something that would have been absurd at the time), his goal was not to destroy or replace Christianity, but to reform and adapt it to the conditions and needs of the new concept of a mixed republic.

This article brings up to discussion the idea of translation as a cognitive work which creates transitivity relations among linguistic codes. This phenomenon will be analyzed from a double perspective: the act of translating and the transmission by Lucretius of Epicureanism in Latin. So several aspects of theory of translation will be presented which have been used by the authors of this paper in their new Spanish translation of De rerum natura (2020). Moreover, it will be demonstrated how Lucretius developed meaningful semiotic chains in the Epicurean tradition and a linguistic theory in which words build a structure according to Nature’s order.
本文提出了翻译是一种认知工作的观点,它创造了语言代码之间的及物性关系。本文将从两个角度来分析这一现象:翻译行为和卢克莱修对伊壁鸠鲁主义的拉丁文传播。因此,翻译理论的几个方面将被提出,这篇论文的作者在他们新的西班牙语翻译De rerum natura(2020)中使用。此外,它将展示卢克莱修如何在伊壁鸠鲁传统和语言理论中发展有意义的符号学链,其中单词根据自然秩序构建结构。

This article analyzes the establishment of the Athenian cleruchy in the island of Lesbos in 427 BC. From the available evidence and research, the existence of a plot distribution pattern based on land use conditions previously developed by the Lesbians is conjectured. The permanence of the latter as tenants of these plots was subordinated to the extraction of an annual rent by the Athenians, similar to the income obtained by those belonging to hoplite status.
