Ofer, Yosef. "Acrostic Signatures in Masoretic Notes." Vetus Testamentum 65, no. 2 (May 8, 2015): 230–46. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/15685330-12301197.

Abstract:

The practice of creating an acrostic to spell out the name of the author of a Hebrew liturgical poem started in the classical period (5th or 6th century). An acrostic may sometimes indicate the name of the scribe who copied the manuscript. In recent years some examples of acrostics have been discovered in the Masoretic notes accompanying ancient manuscripts of the Bible. David Lyons exposed three acrostic signatures in ms British Library Or. 4445. I have discovered two further acrostics: one in a biblical manuscript, the other on a page of a Masoretic work. The article addresses the ways in which the Masoretes create their acrostic signatures, and what we may deduce from these acrostics concerning the location of their creators and their time. The main point is that the place of the masorete of ms Or. 4445 is included in his acrostic, and has not been recognized before.

AbstractLe Targum fragmentaire G (Ms G) qui contient le début d'Exode xx a fait récemment l'objet d'une publication de P. Grelot dans la Revue des études juives 159 (2000). Cependant cette publication suscite des objections sur la structure du poème et sur le rôle des textes en prose que nous avons à l'intérieur de ce poème. Cette article entend présenter ce texte autrement en se basant sur la comparaison avec les autres textes targumiques.

Abstract:

An interesting nomenclatural case of Hemionitis atreyu Christenhusz (in Christenhusz et al. 2018: 10) was recently considered and discussed in an earlier issue of Phytotaxa (Mosyakin 2018). That species-rank name was originally proposed as a replacement name (not as a new combination with the earliest available species epithet “acrostica”) because of the existence of a supposedly earlier name, “Hemionitis acrosticha” Noronha (1790: 18; 1827: 78). However, the latter name has never been validly published (see Mosyakin 2018), and thus, if the species earlier known mainly as Cheilanthes acrostica (Balbis 1801: 98) Todaro (1866: 215) or Pteris acrostica Balbis (1801: 98) is placed in Hemionitis Linnaeus (1753: 1077), not a replacement name but a new combination was required. That combination has been validated as Hemionitis acrostica (Balb.) Mosyakin (2018: 165).

Abstract:

The books of Proverbs and Ben Sira end with alphabetic acrostics. In my article in Revue Biblique 106 (2000), pp. 1–15, I demonstrate a second alphabetic chapter concluding the ‘Words of the Wise’ (Prov. 24.1–22). The present article reveals yet a third partial acrostic in Prov. 29.22–27 at the end of ‘The Proverbs of Solomon which the Men of Hezekiah King of Judah Copied’. The acrostic and other literary devices in this unit show it is more than a mere collection of original, independent adages. The use of alphabetic acrostics to end three of Proverbs' seven consistent collections has implications for the redaction history of the book.

Abstract:

Hellenistic and Roman acrostich inscriptions are usually full of verbal and visual clues, which point the reader in the direction of the ‘hidden message’ contained in the vertical lines of the text. The authors of such inscriptions want their audiences to appreciate the skill that has gone into their composition. There are several complementary ways in which the presence of an acrostich might be signalled to the reader or viewer and their attention directed towards it. These include direct verbal statements, or more subtle allusions, within the text of the inscription. But, even without having read its text, the viewer of an inscription containing a ‘hidden message’ is often immediately aware that some kind of wordplay is at work. Acrostichs, palindromes and various kinds of word square are all graphically striking, or their appearance may be enhanced to make them more so. Regular spacing, the repetition of the acrostich in a separate column and the use of painted or incised grids are all ways in which the layout of the text on the stone can invite the viewer to play a word game. In some cases, as I will argue in this paper, acrostich makers envisaged—even intended—the participants in this game to include the illiterate as well as the literate.

Abstract:

Hunters of acrostics have had little luck with Horace. Despite his manifest love of complex wordplay, virtuoso metrical tricks and even alphabet games, acrostics seem largely absent from Horace's poetry. The few that have been sniffed out in recent years are, with one notable exception, either fractured and incomplete—the postulated PINN- in Carm. 4.2.1–4 (pinnis? Pindarus?)—or disappointingly low-stakes; suggestions of acrostics are largely confined to the Odes alone. Besides diverging from the long-standing Roman obsession with literary acrostics, Horace's apparent lack of interest is especially surprising given that Virgil, his contemporary, friend and ‘poetic pace-maker’, was at the time conducting what seems to be a systematic adaptation of Hellenistic acrostic-poetics into Latin poetry.

BRENNAN, BRIAN. "WEAVING WITH WORDS: VENANTIUS FORTUNATUS'S FIGURATIVE ACROSTICS ON THE HOLY CROSS." Traditio 74 (2019): 27–53. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/tdo.2019.13.

Full text

Abstract:

Within the collected works of Venantius Fortunatus, the sixth-century Latin poet who wrote verse for kings, royal officials, bishops, and nuns in Frankish Gaul, there are found three acrostic poems. One, on the themes of captivity and release (5.6) is accompanied by a prose letter (5.6a) in which the poet discusses his methods in composing this work, which he intended for decorative display on a wall. The other two acrostics are written on the theme of the Holy Cross (2.4; 2.5). This paper, which offers a new interpretation of the figurative acrostics on the Holy Cross, begins first by examining the compositional strategies discussed by Fortunatus in 5.6a and his use there of the extended metaphor of weaving for the composition of acrostic poetry. The paper then moves to a wider discussion of weaving as a metaphor in Fortunatus's poetry before exploring how the poet played with metaphors and materiality, particularly in those instances when he was writing verse intended to be actually placed on material objects or sent with them. It finally goes on to argue, on the basis of indications within the acrostic poems on the Holy Cross themselves and much circumstantial evidence external to them, that these poems (2.4; 2.5) were written for public display in the chapel of the Holy Cross convent at Poitiers. It argues that these acrostics were most probably intended as textile designs for church vela or “hangings.”

Abstract:

Cet article passe en revue de nombreux problèmes divers posés par la traduction en chinois de Gödel, Escher, Bach de Douglas R. Hofstadter, livre dont le thème central est le rapport entre la démonstration métamathématique de Gödel de l'incomplétude de l'arithmétique et l'esprit, la conscience, et l'intelligence artificielle. Le livre est organisé en dialogues suivis de chapitres techniques ou philosophiques. On y trouve un nombre très important de jeux de mots, d'auto-références, de jeux structurels, de sigles, d'acrostiches, et de relations réciproques entre forme et fond, sans parler de discussions portant sur la prose "non-sensique", sur le textes générés par ordinateur et sur la traduction. L'article commence par une discussion de quelques difficultés de traduction de certains jeux de mots en un système d'écriture non-alphabétique. Le texte de départ contient d'innombrables références et d'exemples tirés de la culture américaine qui, traduits tels quels, ne seraient nullement compréhensibles par des lecteurs chinois. Par conséquence, les traducteurs ont décidé de les remplacer par des "équivalents" dans la culture chinoise. Les processus qui les ont amenés à leurs choix sont décrits en détail. De plus, chaque dialogue a un caractère "auto-référentiel", c'est-à-dire que sa structure est le plus souvent le reflet de son contenu. Par exemple, la discussion des personnages de l'un des dialogues porte sur les acrostiches: il y a donc dans ce dialogue un acrostiche caché au niveau des répliques. Le dilemme tra-ductologique classique se voit surgir: devrait-on garder la structure du dialogue au détriment de son contenu explicite ou l'inverse? Une partie importante de l'article est consacrée à la discussion de la fidélité de "haut niveau" (c'est-à-dire, structurelle) d'une traduction par rapport à sa fidélité de "bas niveau" (détails explicites, voire superficiels). Ensuite, sont examinés les problèmes philosophiques posés par la traduction d'un texte produit par ordinateur: en particulier, dans quelle mesure peut-on attribuer un "sens" a un tel texte vu qu'il a été produit par une machine? Cet article commente également les difficultés rencontrées lors des tentatives des traducteurs de rendre en chinois les subtilités de certains passages qui frôlent, à la Lewis Carroll, les limites du non-sens ou qui regorgent de termes inventés, d'allusions vagues ou d'expressions compliquées, obscures ou opaques.

AbstractThis article develops a suggestion by A. Ceresko (VT 35 [1985], pp. 99-104) and finds that Ps. xxxiv may contain six alphabetizing sequences: 1) an abbreviated alphabetic acrostic with no 2) an overriding array made from the initial letters of the first and middle lines of the acrostic and the last line of the psalm; 3) an initial verse with an array 4) a twenty-two verse reversed partial alphabetic mezostic; 5) a twenty-one verse reversed telestic; 6) a final verse with an inverted array. Analogy of cuneiform acrostics and tablets decorated with wreaths of wedges suggests that Ps. xxxiv's acrostic and telestic uses of the alphabet and the letter may signify God, to whom the texts are addressed, and/or the author scribe himself.

Abstract:

Recent decades have witnessed a growing interest injeux de motsin Greek poetry. It was especially the discovery of the ΛΕΠΤΗ acrostic in Aratus'Phaenomenaby J.-M. Jacques in 1960 that stimulated the desire for joining the elite club of those capable of detecting such encrypted messages. This period of intensiveRätselforschungrecently found its culmination in the publication of C. Luz's monograph on linguistic games in Greek poetry, in which an impressive variety of these is discussed: acrostics, palindromes, anagrams, isopsephic poems,carmina figurata, and so forth. Yet even Luz's list is incomplete, and the present discussion aims to offer a brief supplement to her admirable book. I will discuss a playful device used by Greek poets which may not be as spectacular as acrostics but beats them in one hardly negligible respect – that a plausible new discovery may be easier to make in this field.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTOn first glance, Machaut's Tans doucement/Eins que ma dame/Ruina (M13) is a typical motet with few musical or textual anomalies. Perhaps this is why, with the exception of a brief article by Alice V. Clark, little extensive, individual study of M13 has been conducted. This article examines the musico-poetic cues for Fortune found in M13’s many forms of reversal, duality and upset order. The discovery of a new acrostic which references the Roman de Fauvel, whose interpolated motet Super cathedram/Presidentes in thronis/Ruina (F4) is the source of M13’s tenor, further supports a Fortune-based reading of this motet. M13 may therefore be included among the Fortune-prominent motets proposed by Anna Zayaruznaya and Jacques Boogaart (M12, M14 and M15). Understanding that Machaut intentionally ordered his motets, M13 fills a sequential gap, suggesting that M12–15 may serve as a meaningfully ordered group of Fortune-based motets. The acrostic's Fauvel reference also provides additional connections between M13 and F4, offering insight into ways Machaut may have responded to and cleverly cited his sources.

Abstract:

Acrostic is a special phenomenon of the modern Chinese language. It is a combination of lexical and syntactical that across “vocabulary” and “grammar” categories. The morphemes can be combined and can also be separated by various form changes depending on its development. Acrostic is always been a crucial part in teaching Chinese language to foreigners and less developed than other parts of the teaching. This study used quantitative method to analyze the problems associated with the acrostic in teaching Chinese to foreigners. Source of the data was learners’ exercise and assignment. The discussion in this article was viewed from the perspective of the outside-oriented teaching, grouped into 3 main sections. The first was in terms of the usability characteristics to the acrostic developments in the acrostic grammar study. The second, based on the results of the questionnaire regarding the use of acrostic, research analyzed students’ main mistakes and their causes. The third was to observe the condition of teaching acrostic. This research is expected to help teachers and learners of Mandarin understand and overcome the difficulties in learning acrostic.

That Cicero as a young didactic poet embraced the traditions of Hellenistic hexameter poetry is well recognized. Those traditions encompass various forms of wordplay, one of which is the acrostic. Cicero's engagement with this tradition, in the form of an unusual Greek-Latin acrostic at Aratea 317–20, prompts inquiry regarding both the use of the acrostic technique as textual commentary and Cicero's lifelong concerns regarding translation.

Abstract:

Abstract Acrostichus dauer larvae (JIII) were recovered during dissections of the palmetto weevil, Rhynchophorus cruentatus, from southern Florida, and the palm weevil, R. palmarum, from Colombia, Costa Rica and Trinidad. Based upon morphological and molecular studies, the four isolates are conspecific and are described herein as A. rhynchophori n. sp. Acrostichus rhynchophori n. sp. is characterised by narrow, flap-like dorsal tooth, female gonads not reflexed to the level of the vulva, male spicule and gubernaculum morphology, i.e., spicule with small and indistinct manubrium embedded in lamina/calomus complex, strong expansion just posterior to manubrium and smoothly curved and smoothly tapered lamina/calomus complex, and gubernaculum with claw-like anterior end in lateral view and three distal branches in ventral view. The new species is distinguished from A. superbus by morphology of the spicule and gubernaculum. Type specimens of four other Acrostichus species, originally described from bark beetles from North America, i.e., A. concolor, A. gubernatus, A. ponderosus and A. taedus, were re-examined and photo-documented.

Recently in the pages of The Classical Quarterly Mathias Hanses convincingly demonstrated the existence of a fourth occurrence of the programmatic adjective λεπτός in Aratus, Phaen. 783–7. This new example occurs in the form of a diagonal acrostic alongside the known ‘gamma-acrostic’ (formed by the λεπτή that is the first word of the passage and the vertical acrostic λεπτή made up of the first letters of each line) and the occurrence of the same form of the adjective in line 784. Jerzy Danielewicz has now proposed yet a fifth instance of λεπτή in the form of an acronym spread over two lines and meant to be read anticlockwise.

Abstract:

This study aimed to examine the effect of acrostic techniques on increasing student mastery of Präpositionen, which was conducted from September to November 2020. This research was an experimental study with research subjects being college students of the German language study program in the third semester of the academic year 2020/2021. The instruments used in data collection in this study were Pre-test, and Post-test questions before and after the acrostatic technique were applied in the learning process with German prepositions. The results showed that the acrostic technique significantly affected the increasing mastery of Präpositionen college students (thit= 7.67>ttab=1.77. Therefore, Acrostic techniques are recommended for use in präpositionen learning

Abstract:

This paper presents the assessment of wound healing properties of ethanolic extract of Acrostichum aureum and A. speciosum in rats. It was carried out on 6 treated groups with 6 rats each group. The excisional wound was made on the dorsal interscapular region of each rat by a 6 mm biopsy punch. T1 and T2 were treated with 5% and 10% A. aureum ethanolic extract in aqua cream, respectively. Meanwhile, T3 and T4 were treated with 5% and 10% A. speciosum ethanolic extract in aqua cream, respectively. Solcoseryl jelly and aqua cream were used as positive and negative controls. The treatments were applied topically twice daily, wound contraction and period of epithelization were measured every 2 days. The results showed that wound treated with 10% A. speciosum (T4) exerted faster wound contraction significantly (p < 0.05) compared to the negative control. It was also enhanced epithelization period (9.33 ± 3.20 days) of the wounds significantly (p < 0.05). In conclusion, these results strongly suggested the beneficial effects of both plant extracts for enhancing wound healing process.

Abstract:

Acrostichum aureum Linn., a medicinal pteridophyte growing in mangrove forests and coastal regions of tropical and subtropical areas worldwide, has been proved to possess various biological effects. However, the protective effect of Acrostichum aureum Linn. against gastric ulcer still remains unidentified. Therefore, the gastroprotective effect of the water extract of Acrostichum aureum Linn. (WEAC) was investigated in ethanol-induced gastric injury model. According to our results, pretreatment with WEAC (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) could dramatically decrease the ulcer areas and ameliorate the pathological damage induced by alcohol in rat’s gastric tissues. In addition, WEAC administration prevented the stomach from oxidative damage via markedly increasing the levels of glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and decreasing the malondialdehyde (MDA). Besides, WEAC pretreatment alleviated inflammatory infiltration by reducing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as well as decreasing the protein expressions of phosphorylation of IκBα and p65. Taken together, WEAC exerted potential therapeutic efficacy for gastric ulceration, and this may be involved in the suppression of oxidative stress and inflammatory response.

Abstract:

An alphabetic acrostic lament Laments date back to the start of mankind and are known among all peoples, languages and nations. Laments are often spontaneous and unstructured, but sometimes they are structured in poetic form. The biblical book of Lamentations is structured according to the alphabet. The alphabetic framework that forms the foundation of the book indicates that it has a cognitive advancement/build up, and consists of a logically-anticipated inception/beginning and conclusion. It starts with the first letter of the alphabet and concludes with the last. According to Jewish rabbis the alphabetic acrostic structure indicates that the lamentation was completed in full – from start to finish. With the constant development of Afrikaans a need exists for a contemporary Afrikaans Bible translation. This article is an attempt to present the book of Lamentations in a contemporary alphabetic acrostic Afrikaans translation. The message and structure of the book form a cognitive unit that must be preserved as much as possible. A cognitive unit indicates that the reader anticipates the logical build-up and it makes sense to him/her. The acrostic structure is considered to be not only an inherent part of the poem itself, but it could also be insightful and illuminative to the reader.

Abstract:

<p>Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to perform a comparative study for four representatives of the subfamily <em>Ceratopteridoideae</em> (J. Sm.) R.M. Tryon from East Asia: <em>Ceratopteris thalictroides</em> Brongn., <em>C. pteridoides</em> (Hook.) Hieron., <em>Acrostichum aureum</em> Linn., and <em>A.</em> <em>speciosum </em>Willd. The analysis of the external morphology of the representatives of <em>Ceratopteridoideae</em> revealed a strong difference between <em>Ceratopteris</em> and <em>Acrostichum</em>.</p><p>The external morphology of spores of <em>Ceratopteris</em> and <em>Acrostichum</em> exhibited the features characterizing the family Pteridaceae as a whole: tetrahedral spores with a three-ray laesure, from triangular-roundish to roundish, distinct exosporium with a pronounced surface ornamentation and absence of perisporium, the exosporium surface varying from smooth and rough to that covered with large tubercles and roller-like bulges.</p><p>The external morphology of spores of <em>Acrostichum</em> is quite simple, although among other representatives of the family Pteridaceae,<em> </em>the<em> </em>spores of <em>Ceratopteris</em> have distinctive features: very large equatorial diameter (106–124 µm); spores are almost roundish; distinct cylindrical folds running parallel to the corners of the spore across its extensive distal surface.</p><p> </p>

Abstract:

Perhaps the best-known songs of Antoine Busnoys are those whose texts conceal in acrostics or puns some form of the name ‘Jacqueline d'Aqueville’ (for the song texts and translations see Appendix 1).The first letters in each line of A vous sans autre (no. 2) and Je ne puis vivre ainsi toujours (no. 3) yield the acrostics ‘A Iaqveljne’ and ‘Jaqueljne d'Aqvevjle’ respectively; the first line of A que ville est abhominable (no. 4) makes a pun on the surname ‘Aqueville’; and the incipit of Ja que lui ne si actende (no. 1) forms an ambiguous series of monosyllables that can also be read as the name ‘Jaqueline’.

Abstract:

The dating of Manilius' Astronomica and of the Aratea attributed to Germanicus are both long-standing problems of Latin scholarship. The large number of significant correspondences between the two poems suggests a considerable degree of imitation and allusion one way or the other, but it is widely agreed that the internal evidence of the poems can shed no light on the direction of the influence. I would like to present a new observation, however, suggesting that the Aratea was already available to Manilius in some form by the time he came to compose his first book.
