Abstract:

This article investigates the characterization of women in Orosius' Historiae adversus paganos, a subject long overlooked. The Historiae enjoyed great popularity among medieval and renaissance scholars, and the way in which Orosius portrayed women had lasting literary influence. The representation of women as exempla is also intrinsically tied into the historiographical and biographical traditions of classical Latin literature, requiring examination of both Orosius' text and the classical influences that shape his work. This article begins by analyzing selected representations of women in Orosius' Historiae and then use these representations as a focus to explore his adaptation of the classical tradition.

Abstract:

Mais de vinte anos após a morte de Valentiniano II, Orósio elaborou e propagou diferentes imagens para os imperadores da dinastia valentiniana. Através de análises realizadas na obra Historiae adversus paganos, escrita pelo presbítero no século V d.C., podemos conhecer um pouco destes personagens e, especialmente, perceber as mensagens que o autor desejava transmitir ao seu público. Sendo assim, o interesse deste artigo centra-se em saber de que maneira, através da retórica de Orósio, os indivíduos da dinastia valentiniana foram interpretados e que fatos o presbítero julgou serem pertinentes à redação de sua obra.

Abstract:

Abstract The article aims to investigate two fragmentary manuscript witnesses to Bono Giamboni’s vernacular Italian translation of Paulus Orosius’ Historiae. Neither of these witnesses has been studied until now. The article provides an edition of the shorter fragment, preserved in MS Vatican Library Barb. Lat. 4119, and a full description of the second codex, MS British Library Add. 16554, a multi-text codex that contains a large anthology of Orosius’ Historiae. Among the works preserved in this latter manuscript, particularly noteworthy is the presence of an unknown vernacular Italian version of Sallust’s De coniuratione Catilinae. The article also provides some new insights into the early printed editions of the Italian vernacular translation of Orosius and the authorship of the printed text.

Abstract:

Varias fuentes mozárabes incluyen leyendas sobre el primer emperador cristiano, Constantino el Grande, la más importante de las cuales es sin duda alguna “Hurusiyus”, versión árabe interpolada de las Historiae adversus paganos de Orosio. En este artículo ofrezco la traducción alemana de este pasaje de “Hurusiyus”, proponiendo una reconstrucción de las lagunas a partir, por un lado, de las citas que de él hacen al-Maqrizi e Ibn Haldun y, por otro, de la versión paralela de la denominada Historia universal de Qayrawan. El hecho de que “Hurusiyus” afirme que el pasaje dedicado a Constantino deriva en última instancia del historiador de la Iglesia Eusebio de Cesarea encuentra explicación en la tradición latina: en un Martirologio de Silos fechado en la segunda mitad del s. X (actualmente Paris, BnF mss. latins [nouvelles acquisitions] 2178-2180) tanto Actus Silvestri como Inventio Sanctae Crucis aparecen vinculados al nombre de Eusebio.

Abstract:

A Antiguidade Tardia é um período abundante em conflitos político-religiosos, incluindo disputas e alianças de poder cujo equilíbrio estava em constante transformação. O cenário tardo-antigo reúne rivalidades religiosas entre os cristianismos, os judaísmos e as religiões politeístas, disputas de território internas e com os povos bárbaros, competições pelo poder imperial, entre outros fatores que tornam esse período tão único. Dentro desse panorama abrangente, concentramos nossa análise nas perspectivas de Amiano Marcelino, autor advindo da região oriental e seguidor do politeísmo, e Paulo Orósio, de origem ibérica e defensor do cristianismo niceno. Para isso, utilizaremos suas obras principais: Res Gestae (380 - 390), escrita por Amiano, e Historiae Adversus Paganos (416 - 417), escrita por Orósio, produções que revelam como seus contextos particulares influenciaram na interpretação dos eventos descritos.

Abstract:

The Seven Books of History against the Pagans by Paulus Orosius was written as a response to the sack of Rome in 410 CE. In contrast to his contemporaries, Orosius responded to the disaster by writing a history that decentered the city of Rome. His work reshaped Roman history through deemphasizing traditional Roman values and by foregrounding a local perspective. This paper examines Orosius’s literary strategies through his description of the destruction of cities in the Republican period. It first surveys the interaction between accounts of the sack of Rome in 410 and the literary archetypes that dominate the descriptions of destroyed cities in Roman sources. Turning to Orosius, it outlines how his Historiae adversus paganos both does and does not adhere to this model, arguing that the encounter between classical sources and the Christian structure of his work allowed Orosius to critique Rome’s history of imperialism. Orosius saw and portrayed the past as a subjective experience, and the examples of Numantia and Carthage demonstrate that Orosius told the destruction of cities from a peripheral point of view. In pursuit of mitigating the effects of Rome’s own recent disaster, Orosius gives a glimpse of an alternate, regional interpretation of Roman history, one of the many that surely existed alongside a historical tradition that our sources often present as empire-wide and monolithic.

Abstract:

The story of the Amazons contained in the Historia adversus paganos of Orosius says nothing about the Amazons, but shows the mentality of the author of this work. Orosius believed in the existence of the kingdom of Amazons. He devoted a lot of space to the Amazons, because he saw them as relatives of the Goths. He wanted to show that the reality of his Christian’s times was no worse than the pagan’s past. Orosius summarized Epitome of Justin. Some names of queens of Amazons are different in Historia adversus paganus than in his source. In the case of Queen Sinope, it’s hard to say why.

Abstract:

W Historia adversus paganos Orozjusz wspominał mitycznego potwora Minotaura, wojnę między Ateńczykami i Kreteńczykami. Mimo że poświęcił tej opowieści dwa zdania, to jest ona ciekawa. Nie można wskazać źródła, z którego korzystał Orozjusz. Racjonalizował on opowieść o Minotaurze, nazywając go dzikim człowiekiem. Jego narracja zawiera kilka niespotykanych faktów w porównaniu z innymi opowieściami o potworze: pominął on postać Tezeusza oraz bardziej niż inni autorzy podkreślał krwawość mitycznej wojny między Atenami a Kretą.

Abstract:

This doctoral thesis concentrates exclusively on the Historiae adversus paganos, an apologetic history in seven books written by the presbyter Paulus Orosius in the early fifth century AD. This thesis is ultimately an exposition of Orosius's philosophy of history, within which the themes of divine providence, monotheism, and imperial authority are central. This thesis has endeavoured to establish what the Historiae is in terms of content, purpose, and genre, a more complex task than this simple statement suggests. At every stage of analysis this research has worked to uncover the ideology and apologetic underlying Orosius‘s historical narrative, in particular the significance behind Orosius‘s stylistic habit of rhetorical comparison. This thesis consists of six chapters, unified in methodology but encompassing a broad diversity of subject matter. Chapter One examines the constructed text and its genre, as well as issues of opponent, audience and self-representation. Chapter Two provides a philosophical and technical treatment of time. Chapters Three and Four explore the representations of monotheism and imperial authority in the emperors Augustus and Theodosius. Chapter Five is concerned with Orosius‘s representation of warfare, and Chapter Six considers the retributive and redemptive aspect of the sack of Rome.

Abstract:

This paper consists of the translation and analysis of Chapters 1-15 of Book V of Historiarum adversus paganos libri VIII by Paulus Orosius. The analysis is based on a comprehensive commentary on linguistic and stylistic aspects of the texts examined, and on a thorough factual commentary. The linguistic commentary concentrates on the composition of the Fifth Book, on the construction of discourse by the means of particles and other discourse markers, as well as on the linguistic features and peculiarities distinctive for the author, his age and the genre of historiography (such as specifically Late Latin syntax, non-Classical vocabulary, rhetorical figures, tropes and other stylistic features). The factual commentary contains a detailed description of the events mentioned in the text and their historical context. Close attention is paid to the character of the author's narrative, his approach to the historical data, choice of the events that interest him most as well as the way in which the author portraits them as mutually connected. Among the questions important for the commentary are whether he follows the wider tradition of Roman historiography or if and in which way the author's own opinions and persuasions are reflected in his work. This section also comments on the relation between Orosius'...

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter discusses the surviving text of Book 5 of Tacitus’ Histories (ch. 1–26). The two main themes, the revolt of the Batavians and the Jewish–Roman war, are situated in the context of the whole work. In both cases, Tacitus presents the events in the provinces first and foremost in their relation to the developments in Rome. The excursus on Judea, which is unusually detailed and includes a number of very negative statements on the Jews, stands out in the narrative of the Histories. Elsewhere the Jews are hardly ever mentioned. As for the lost part of Book 5, one explicit citation in Orosius’ Historiae adversum paganos as well as Sulpicius Severus’ (Christian) rewriting of Tacitus allow for glimpses into what Tacitus might have reported in the missing chapters.
