Armenian Translations of Greek Texts. Analysis of Pl. Leg. II 652 a – 660 a

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the Armenian translation of Plato’s Laws dating back to the so-called Hellenizing school (sixth–eighth century AD). The analysis is predominantly a linguistic one, although issues such as stylistics are touched upon as well. Thorough examination of the manifold ways of translating various Greek grammatical structures present in the text contributes to the wider discussion surrounding its dating.

Between Cicero’ Academica and the Julian Calendar Reform. Some Remarks on the Date of Varro’s De lingua Latina

Bartosz Jan Kołoczek

Meander | Vol. 76 (2021) | 63-74 | DOI: 10.24425/meander.2021.138770

Download PDF Download RIS Download Bibtex

Abstract

The aim of the article is to further narrow down the accepted date of the redaction and publication of Varro’s De lingua Latina. It is argued that Varro published De lingua Latina in late 45 BC / early 44 BC, when various changes affecting the Roman calendar were in progress. In addition, the author posits that a passage in Censorinus ( De die nat. 22, 9–13) attests to Varro’s altering his views on the etymologies of month names in a subsequent work.
