Abstract:

The development of ancient epistolography could be associated with the very development of literacy in Greece. Apart from its original function, to transfer a notice to a distant person, the letter has expanded its realm over time. Trough an overview of the letters preserved in the Greek language area and in the works of Greek authors, we can see various functions the letter assumed – both in everyday life and in literature. Numerous accounts and fragments of letters, from short business notice on lead tablets to private letters written on papyrus, which served as a means for preserving familiar or friendly relationships, point to a great popularity of the letter in ancient times. Given the ﬂexibility of its form and the possibility of its usage on a number of occasions, whether public or private, both by the educated and by the uneducated, we notice that the epistolary form, as a means of communication, soon became firmly rooted in the Greek cultural area. The paper aims at highlighting the very beginning of developing the form of letter in Greece, its basic elements and characteristics, as well as the terms used for it in the Greek language.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article focusses on the generality of the entities involved in a geometric proof of the kind found in ancient Greek treatises: it shows that the standard modern translation of Greek mathematical propositions falsifies crucial syntactical elements, and employs an incorrect conception of the denotative letters in a Greek geometric proof; epigraphic evidence is adduced to show that these denotative letters are ‘letter-labels’. On this basis, the article explores the consequences of seeing that a Greek mathematical proposition is fully general, and the ontological commitments underlying the stylistic practice.

Abstract:

The letter collections of Greco-Roman antiquity dwarf in total size all of ancient drama or epic combined, but they have received far less attention than (say) the plays of Euripides or the epics of Homer or Virgil. Although classicists have long realised the crucial importance of the order and arrangement of poems into ‘poetry books’ for the reading and reception both of individual poems and the collection as a whole, the importance of order and arrangement in collections of letters and the consequences for their interpretation have long been neglected. This piece explores some of the most important Greek letter collections, such as the Letters attributed to Plato, and examines some of the key problems in studying and editing collections of such ancient letters.

Abstract:

AbstractJewish texts from Late Antiquity, as well as culturally affiliated sources, contain three different traditions about the creation of the world from alphabetic letters. This observation, which contradicts the common assumption that the myth of creation from letters stems from the holiness of the Jewish language, calls for comparative study. A structural approach to the letter as a founding ontological element is corroborated by the ancient Greek word stoicheion (στoιχειoν), which refers to both physical foundations and alphabetic letters. To analyze this attitude to the letter in the ancient world, I draw on the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, which addresses the question of the letter in the framework of human discourse. I use Lacan's concepts to describe and illuminate the inherent connection between letters and the very foundations of the world.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper arises from research undertaken as part of the AHRC-funded project, ‘Communication, Language and Power in the Achaemenid empire: the correspondence of the satrap Arshama’. The project enabled a reengagement with the letters, sealings, and bag purchased in the 1940s by the Bodleian Library from the estate of the archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt. The discussion explores two parallel approaches to reconstructing the three-dimensional function of Achaemenid letters. First, technical variations in letter format and state of preservation reveal a range of physical interactions with letters, both open and closed. Second, Greek prose representations of Persian history imagine letters as objects working with their messengers within Achaemenid (usually royal) communications. This focus on the letter as object prompts us to hypothesize social, performative, and oral elements within the epistolary system.

Abstract:

Philostratus remarks on the terseness of the letters of Apollonius of Tyana (Vita Apoll. 7.35, cf. 4.27), and letter 61 is a good example of that stylistic feature. Addressed to a Lesbonax, it says: ᾽Agr;νἀχαπσις ó Σκὑθης ῆν σπφóς εí δὲ Σκὐθης, ὃτι καì ϳκὐθης (‘Anacharsis the Scythian was a sage.. And if he was a Scythian, then it was because he was a Scythian that he was a sage’). In my commentary to the letters, I observed that Apollonius is drawing here on the tradition of the Scythians as an idealized race, unspoiled by the cultivations of Greek city life, and is implicitly criticizing his contemporaries in the Greek world for not living up to the high ideals of Hellenism. I compared a critical remark in letter 34 that alludes to Euripides, Orestes 485: “ἐβαπβαπὡθ” οὐ “χπóνιος ὢν ἀφ’ ‘Ελλἁδι. More can now be said.

Abstract:

The origins of Brāhmī script have been mired in controversy for over a century since the Semitic model was first proposed by Albrecht Weber in 1856. Although Aramaic has remained the leading candidate for the source of Brāhmī, no scholar has adequately explained a letter by letter derivation, nor accounted for the marked differences between Aramaic, Kharoṣṭhīand Brāhmī scripts. As a result, the debate is far from settled. In this article I attempt to finally answer the vexed questions that have plagued scholars for over a century, regarding the exact origins of Brāhmī, through a comparative letter by letter analysis with other Semitic origin scripts. I argue that Brāhmī was not derived from a single script, but instead was a hybrid invention by Indian scholars from Aramaic, Phoenician and Greek letters provided by a western Semitic trader.

Abstract:

AbstractCicero’s friend and correspondent Titus Pomponius Atticus was a key figure in the Graeco-Roman cultural life of his time, and knowing about the Greek that he used would give us insight not only into this broader culture, but also into the Greek language itself at this crucial point of its history. However, no writings by him survive, and his Greek can only be reconstructed from Cicero’s letters. The only previous attempt to do this was made nearly a century ago and was generously inclusive but lacking in discernment. The current study seeks to distinguish the different types of evidence on this question that Cicero’s letters can offer. It provides a list of those Greek words we can be most confident featured in Atticus’ letters and suggests some criteria for judging the more numerous doubtful instances. Finally, it points to some conclusions about Atticus’ Greek, and how this may have differed from Cicero’s.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article examines the letter collection of Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger (1406–38), an important translator of classical Greek. While scholars have edited the letters chronologically or analyzed them piecemeal, my study shows that as an ensemble the work artfully conveys a cultural and philosophical statement. By playing with time, circumstance, and persona, Lapo reveals the shortcomings of the humanist program, since it associated learning and virtue with public recognition; in addition, the letters elicit the readers’ empathy, as both patronage and Stoic self-reliance are found wanting. The humanist reawakening of the classics was witnessed here in conversation.

Abstract:

The fourteenth century is a key moment for papal diplomacy. The popes, then based in Avignon, implemented a very active policy toward the Eastern Christian Churches, the purpose of which was to bring the Greek Schism to an end. In achieving this aim, the popes were helped by the particular historical conjuncture resulting from the Turks’ pressure upon the Greek Empire. Revisiting papal correspondence issued during that period shows numerous groups of letters that were addressed to the West as well as to Constantinople, specifically to the emperor or to the Greek authorities. A study of the letters enables us to detect an evolution, albeit a small one, of the papal position on the schism, and the causes of this evolution, which related to the fact that the new actors involved were more and more often Greek or Greek-speaking.

Full text

Abstract:

Current studies on the topic of sexuality in the ancient Greek world tend to favour the active/passive paradigm of understanding sexual relations which was originally proposed in Kenneth Dover's Greek Homosexuality (1978) and Michel Foucault's three volume History of Sexuality (1978, 1985, and 1986). In Dover and Foucault, the sexual behaviour of the classical Athenian male takes primacy, so much so that the reader of either scholar can be left with the impression that the role of the active partner was available only to adult citizen males. Alciphron's Letters of Courtesans (Book 4 of his works) depict a group of desiring female subjects who demonstrate that sexual agency, the assumption of the active role in a sexual relationship, need not be the exclusively masculine phenomenon that Dover and Foucault describe. Letters of Courtesans prove that female sexuality can be portrayed as active and therefore that women in literature can be sexual agents. Additionally, these letters demonstrate the limits of the approaches of Dover and Foucault, that sexuality need not be defined as exclusively active or exclusively passive. By approaching Letters of Courtesans from this perspective, we are able to see that ancient Greek literature includes depictions of active female sexuality that Dover and Foucault overlooked. Letters of Courtesans are therefore a way to challenge and develop the work on ancient sexuality that has followed from these two landmark studies. Because of their fictional nature and their epistolary format, Letters of Courtesans lay bare the process of Alciphron's construction of sexuality and gender. I shall therefore show that Alciphron's Letters of Courtesans are an ideal locus for a discussion of these topics. This study will establish that Letters of Courtesans ought to occupy a place of importance in any discussion of ancient ideas of sexuality and gender.

Fulton, Karen Elaine. "The phenomenon of co-senders in Ancient Greek letters and the Pauline Epistles." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2011. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=167679.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis contributes to the debate regarding the frequency with which letters with co-senders occurred in the Graeco-Roman world. While a number of scholars have noted the presence of co-senders in the Pauline letters, there is currently no agreement regarding the frequency of this phenomenon in the wider Graeco-Roman world and so no agreement regarding whether the Pauline practice of regularly including co-senders is unique or simply reflects a letter-writing convention of the time. An examination of a selection of ancient Greek letters from a variety of milieux – published works, papyri and inscriptions – and ranging in date from the second century B.C.E. to the fourth century C.E., suggests that letters with co-senders occurred with reasonable frequency, in the Graeco-Roman world, mainly in official and administrative correspondence. This in turn suggests that the Pauline letters are not especially unusual in their inclusion of co-senders in the letter prescript and are utilising an established convention. By identifying a significant body of extra-Biblical letters with co-senders, this thesis also aims to provide a broadly contemporary material with which the Pauline letters can be compared, to ascertain whether they follow the same conventions as other letters with co-senders. Such a comparison suggests firstly, that letters from multiple senders are often from co-workers, as in the case of the Pauline epistles; secondly, that the prescripts of the Pauline epistles present Paul as the primary sender; thirdly that the Pauline epistles are unusual in the frequency with which they use the first person singular, so referring to only one of the senders, in letters apparently from multiple senders. This thesis argues that the contribution of a co-sender to a letter can vary considerably from contributing to the creation of the letter to simply providing support for its contents. Therefore, both in the case of the Pauline epistles and more generally, each letter needs to be considered independently to ascertain the reasons for the inclusion of the co-sender(s) and their role within the letter.

Abstract:

Egypt in the early Byzantine period was a bilingual country where Greek and Egyptian (Coptic) were used alongside each other. Historical studies as well as linguistic studies of the phonology and lexicon of early Byzantine Greek in Egypt testify to this situation. In order to describe the linguistic traces the language-contact situation left behind in individuals' linguistic output, this thesis analyses the syntax of early Byzantine Greek texts from Egypt. The primary object of interest is bilingual interference in the syntax of verbs, adverbial phrases, discourse organising devices and formulaic sections. The thesis is based on a corpus of Greek and Coptic private letters on papyrus, all of which date from the fourth to mid-seventh centuries, originate from Egypt and belong to bilingual, Greek-Coptic, papyrus archives. The data is analysed with a particular focus on three interrelated questions: (1) What kinds of deviations from the standard pattern appear and to what extent can language-internal confusion account for them? (2) How are instances of language-internal confusion and bilingual interference distributed over the selected syntactic domains? (3) Do deviations from the standard accumulate in certain letters or archives belonging to the corpus and do they correlate with additional indicators of bilingualism such as code-switching or circumstantial information about writers? In addition to answering these questions, the thesis seeks to explain the observed distributions. The results obtained from this study suggest that bilingual interference is linked to the way writers assimilated structures. In fact, there is a marked difference between deviating syntactic structures in non-formulaic and formulaic contexts. The study further suggests that bilingual interference does not affect every domain of syntax to the same degree. The degree of complexity of the syntactic structure in question as well as the degree of divergence from the corresponding Coptic structure seem to play a role.

Abstract:

This research, a computer-assisted analysis of fifth century drama covering thirty-six plays: eleven of Aristophanes, eighteen of Euripides, and seven of Sophocles, contains detailed information concerning the distribution of letters in their works. 4 A general letter count was refined in terms of vowels and consonants, and the six consonant groups: gutturals, labials, dentals, liquids, aspirates, and sibilants. Each play was examined individually first as a whole and then in part, the trimeter sections, for as a letter or a group is to the whole so should it be to the part. And if not, why not. A principal consideration was the contribution of sibilants as a 'sound*, Sigma was regarded adversely by literary critics in antiquity; this provides a useful link between quantity and quality. With a view to objectivity, the programmed research was designed with few assumptions and the raw data collected without bias. That is, no a-priori assignments of subjective factors such as 'harshness' were made. The frequency of every letter in an initial, medial, or final position within a phonetic-word and within a verse-line was recorded. Each play, and subsequently each author, was described in terms of vowel to consonant ratio, consonant group representation, consonant group position (i, m, or f), and consonant group alliteration in trimeter scenes. Rudimentary 'voice-prints' for each author emerged indicating individual traits, preferences, and time-dependent features of an author's style. Differences between Comedy and Tragedy were measured and the question of Euripides' alleged excessive sigmaticism examined in full. Evidence of Aristophanes' comic characterisation of Euripides was presented in some detail.

Abstract:

This dissertation aims at providing a new critical edition of the fictitious Letters of the Courtesans attributed to Alciphron (late 2nd or early 3rd century AD). The first part of the introduction begins with a brief survey of the problematic dating and identification of Alciphron, followed by a general overview of the epistolary genre and the letters of Alciphron. The main part of the introduction deals with the manuscript tradition. Eighteen manuscripts, which contain some or all of the Letters of the Courtesans, are described and the relationship between them is analyzed based on complete collations of all the manuscripts. The conclusion, which is illustrated by a stemma codicum, is that there are four primary manuscripts from which the other fourteen manuscripts derive: Vaticanus gr. 1461, Laurentianus gr. 59.5, Parisinus gr. 3021 and Parisinus gr. 3050. The introduction concludes with a brief chapter on the previous editions, a table illustrating the selection and order of the letters in the manuscripts and editions, and an outline of the editorial principles. The guiding principle for the constitution of the text has been to use conjectural emendation sparingly and to try to preserve the text of the primary manuscripts wherever possible. The critical apparatus has been divided into a main apparatus below the text, which reports variant readings from the primary manuscripts and a small selection of conjectures, and two appendices which report scribal conjectures from the secondary manuscripts and conjectures by modern scholars with bibliographical references. A third appendix has also been added which lists all conjectures adopted into the text. The parallel translation, which is accompanied by brief explanatory notes on names and places, is literal and serves as a complement to the commentary, which primarily deals with matters of textual criticism. In the commentary problematic passages are discussed, especially where an emendation has been adopted or where the present edition differs from previous editions. After the three appendices the dissertation ends with a bibliography.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the sophistication of the ancient Roman economy through an analysis of credit instruments in elite finances. The study of the ancient economy is a contentious but important field of study, within which exists a lively scholarly debate. This project seeks to contribute to that debate through the investigation of late republican finances, using Cicero's Letters to Atticus. By studying Cicero's financial maneuvers and commentary, this thesis argues that elite usage of nomina during this time period provides evidence for the existence of a sophisticated elite credit system. Such a system allowed for the development of nomina as flexible credit instruments for Roman elites competing in a fraught socio-political context.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines why and how women became especially interested in the Euripidean tragedy The Bacchae and tried to make Greek letters dance, figuratively and literally. It shows how women resorted to dancing letters—the simultaneous subject and object of rhythmic movement—to mobilize Ladies' Greek in new directions at the turn of the twentieth century and beyond, toward an experience of kinesthesia. It also looks at Jane Harrison as a “modern maenad” whose ideas about Dionysiac ritual developed during her years at Newnham College, as well as the pedagogical setting of Bryn Mawr College, where students were initiated into a “cult of Greek” under the leadership of M. Carey Tomas. Finally, it discusses a student production of The Bacchae for the fiftieth anniversary of Bryn Mawr, suggesting that the choreography of this performance can be read as a transformation of ancient Greek into dancing letters.

Abstract:

This paper continues the series of corrections to some published inscriptions from Cim merian Bosporus. No 22 (Fig. 1) presents the corrected lecture of votive inscription from the excavations in Panticapaeum at 2008. No 23 & 24 criticizes some general approaches to discus sion and inaccuracy of A.V. Belousov. No 25 (Fig. 2, 3) demonstrates the A.S. Balakhvantsev’s priority of understanding of the inscription on the bronze cauldron founded in Volgograd region. No 26 revises the A.V. Belousov’s lecture of the inscription on the bailer from the kurgans excavations in Rostov‑on‑Don region at 1927. No 27 (Fig. 4) reinterprets the graffito of ΑΡΠΑΤΡΙΣ as the name of hetaera from Phanagoria. No 28 presents some examples of the utilization of the token τράχηλος in the Greek epigraphy. No 29 shows the futility of the A.V. Belousov’s reasoning about the genres of the Greek lead letters and the curses tablets. No 30 (Fig. 5) insists than the lead tablet from Panticapaeum necropolis mentioning 18 times ἀνώνυμος is the prayer to Jews God. No 31 (Fig. 6, 6a) demonstrates than the graffito from the burial on the Taman’ peninsula has a magical character. No 32 (Fig. 7) proposes the cor rect lecture of the third Spartocids decree from Phanagoria. No 33 discusses some answers of N.V. Zavoykina. No 34 (Fig. 8) understands the initial letters of graffito from Ak‑Burun as initials from some personal names. No 35 (Fig. 9) reads the letters on the big marble bowl from Gorgippia as the dedication to the δῆμος. No 36 presents some observations about the cult of oikistes in Phanagoria. No 37 decodes the numbers on the amphora from the Kerch Museum. Nos 38–43 (Fig. 10) demonstrates the S.Yu. Saprykin’s inaccuracy in Greek and epigraphical discussions.

Abstract:

Three inscriptions on amphorae from Phanagoria have published in the article. The inscription no. 1 was made on a Chios amphora dating to the second quarter of the Vth century BC. It reports «Πυρρίης Κλαυσει ΑΙ». The name Πυρρίης has found for the first time in the anthroponymy of the Bosporan cities. This is the Ionian form of the ancient Greek name Πυρρῖας. The letters ΚΛАΥΣΕΙ present dat. sing. of the male name Κλαυς. The name Κλαυς is incited on a black-glazed stemless pallet dating from the second quarter to the middle of the Vth century BC from Phanagoria. It is assumed that the name Κλαυς represents an early version of the Ancient Greek transliteration of the Cilician name Κλους. The abbreviation AI has been interpreted as «αἴθοψ οἶνος». An analysis of the testimonies of Ancient Greek authors has showed that the phrase hides a certain sort of red wine from Chios – seasoned dark-red wine, which the Ancient Greeks named «black wine». Thus, the inscription no. 1 reports «Pyrries to Claus some seasoned black wine». The inscription no. 2 is represented by the letter «A» scratched on the neck of a Chios amphora dated to the 3rd quarter of the VIth century BC. It is widely believed that the letter A on amphorae is an abbreviation of the phrase «ἀμπέλιος οἶνος, – grape wine». The inscription no. 3 informs «μέλαιναι Νίκωνι, – many black to Nikon» and it is written in red paint on the fragment of a Thasian amphora. It dates from the second half of the Vth - the first half of the IVth centuries BC. The analysis of the tes timonies of ancient Greek authors has revealed that adj. pl. fem. μέλαιναι refers to black olives. Traditionally, ancient Greeks ate them in crushed form. New and published dipinti and graf fiti on amphorae from Chios and Thasos from Phanagoria, have given rise for a conclusion about the regular supplies of olives from Thasos from the second half of the Vth – beginning of the IIIrd centuries BC and several sorts, mainly, red wine from Chios in the last third of the VIth – IVth centuries BC. The archaeological materials from Phanagoria have provided us with information about several sorts of the Chios wine contained in amphorae. The abbreviation «ΑΙ» is interpreted as «αἴθοψ οἶνος, – seasoned red wine»; «ΑΥ» – «αὐστηρὸς οἶνος,– dry red wine». The name «Χῖος οἶνος», hidden under the abbreviations «X», «XI» of the amphorae, apparently, should be considered as the name of a closer unknown variety of Chios wine. The name «ἀμπέλιος οἶνος, – grape wine», which was denoted by the letter «A» on amphorae, is a generalized name for wine. Such a definition may be hiding under it some apparently dry and cheap wine, brought in amphorae, including from Chios.

Abstract:

e article deals with some aspects of the important part of the wellpreserved collection of the epistolary heritage — the correspondence of the famous church hierarch Metropolitan Job of Novgorod with Fyodor Polikarpov-Orlov, the major ocial of the transition period in Russia at the beginning of the XVIII century. Despite the scarcity of the correspondence, these letters remain a valuable source on various aspects of the spiritual, educational and daily life of the Leichoudis brothers' school, as well as of the translation center in Novgorod. Due to the connection of the authors with the Moscow Printing House, the Monastic Order and the Greek school in the Kazan courtyard, the letters had become part of the socio-cultural space of the Peter the Great era. e discovered letters made it possible to analyze the most diverse aspects of the pastoral activity of Metropolitan Job, as well as to provide important materials for the study of the epistolary written culture of Russia in the era of Peter the Great.

Abstract:

The authors of this paper deal with the pedagogical and philological significance of Sava’s Spelling Book printed in Russia (Moscow) in 1692, in the Russian-Slavonic language. This spelling book is about 100 years younger than the First Serbian Spelling Book (The Spelling Book of Sava Inok of the monastery Dečani). This spelling book of the Russian recension reached all the way to the Serbian lands, being, on one hand, the precedent, and on the other hand, the follower to the books that are to appear in Serbia and its new literary language. The authors of this paper explain in a detailed way the method of letter teaching by which each letter (Slavonic, Greek, and Latin) is being assigned a corresponding picture. This points out to the pedagogical approach to the acquisition of new knowledge (the basics of reading and writing) which uses pictures of animals and plants in order to facilitate the process of letter learning. In his lecture, KarionIstomin, the author of the spelling book, suggested totally new teaching methods i.e. the new methods. Namely, Sava’s Spelling book is the precursor of contemporary spelling books, since all of them use the connection between letters and pictures as the basis of their teaching method.

Abstract:

FROM THE NEOLITHIC TO THE 9th CENTURY – MONUMENTS OF THE PRE-GLAGOLIC GRAPHIC CULTURE IN THE BULGARIAN LANDS (Summary) The article presents the earliest monuments of written culture from Gradeshnitsa, Karanovo, and Dolnoslav, as well as the use of Greek, Latin and Gothic alphabets. Greek script in inscriptions in the Greek language has been recorded on a large number of epi¬graphic monuments in the Bulgarian lands, spanning more than a millennium. Latin writ¬ten culture came with the creation of the Roman provinces Macedonia, Thrace and Moe¬sia (after 86 AD, Moesia Superior and Moesia Inferior). Geographically, Latin inscrip¬tions, containing public, religious and private texts, were scattered across the Bulgarian territory, having a greater density in the north of Bulgaria. Special attention is given to the Proto-Bulgarian runes and inscriptions as a specific phenomenon of profound significance. An assumption is made that they provided the basis for the Bulgarian literary tradition, laying the groundwork for a new written culture in an own language and letters.

Abstract:

The author is publishing a fragment of new Greek inscription on marble found by accident on the place of the settlement on the Cape of Zyk (the ancient Bosporan town of Chersonesus of Zeno). It is a part of a decision or decree of thiasotoi – members of voluntary association. It was adopted by the priest, the paraphilagathos and the gymnasiarchos whose names are unfortunately lost except two letters in the priest’s name Pe(….) and three letters in the gymnasiarchos’ farther’s name (…)ean(…). The latter is restored as personal male name {Th}ean(gelos)? popular among members of the Bosporan associations in Imperial period. We now have five inscriptions from Chersonesus of Zeno which belong to the associations of its citizens. Their study allowed the author to attribute all of them to one and the same thiasos which was active in course of the 2-3rd centuries AD and united the inhabitants of this town, mostly the Greeks by origin. Besides publishing the newly discovered document the author corrects the early suggested reading and interpretation of three other inscriptions from Chersonesus of Zeno. He admits that two separated pieces – one earlier attributed as the official decree or a letter of king Cotys III and dated to the time of his reign, and the second one, defined as a list of the thiasotoi, are in fact two fragments of one inscription – edict of the Zenonites’ association, ad opted in the time of Cotys III by the head of the union, presumably the synodos with the priest and probably the parahilagathos at the head. He also gives a vast commentary to other inscriptions – one mentions “the father of synodos”, and the other which is a list of thiasos’ members. He corrects the reading of one of the names in this list to be restored as (Pol)yaenos but not as Hroxenos. The association in Chersonesus of Zeno stands close to the associations of Panticapaeum and Tanais. The author made a complete study of the organization, activity, logistics and policy of the Bosporan associations towards the royal power, having admitted that synodoi could hardly be separate voluntary or alternative unions at Bosporus. They were initially sacred groups in the thiasoi but later, since the late 1 – 2nd century AD, started to function as their praesidium, i.e. head or council of associations, which included members of high position.

Abstract:

While in the Western societies the act of translating was a phenomenon that had a powerful tradition which started long before the sixteenth century, in the Romanian Principalities the first timid attempts were recorded at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Taking into account the translations accomplished by the nineteenth Romanian women writers and the large range of languages (French, Italian, Greek, Latin, German, English, Spanish) they used, I have tried to “discover” and “revive” as many women writers as I could, first of all by focusing all my attention on the works of the neglected women (writers) translators. The present research, which limits only to Romanian women writers that translated writings of foreign women authors, needs also a special attention to finding biographical data about the translators since a lot of them used pen names (few writers used even more than three pen names) or signed their writing or translations only with the initial letters of their names, especially for the works published in installments. There is a significant amount of research in order to bring to light all the translated works since most of them can be found only in (incomplete) issues of journals, almanacs, literary magazines, theatre’s journals, or manuscripts. By using the international database Women Writers in History we may involve researchers and students from many European countries in contributing with important information concerning their women writers. There are also negotiations with national libraries in 25 countries around Europe in order to get partners for this database which offers open access.
