The Slave Systems of Greek and Roman Antiquity
Some Early Medieval Commentaries on the Old Testament
It is a commonplace that the Biblical commentators of the earlier Middle Ages were traditionalists who copied or adapted the Fathers and rarely added much of their own. At the same time there was much variation in method; for there is a world of difference between the commentaries of Bede or Paschasius, carefully integrated works bearing the impress of the writer's own mind and personality, and compilations that are no more than collectanea of Pa…

The Lesbos Manuscript of Chrysostom's De Inani Gloria
THE LESBOS MANUSCRIPT OF CHRYSOSTOM'S DE INANI GLORIA BY M. L. W. LAISTNER John Chrysostom's address or treatise, entitled "On vainglory and the right way for parents to bring up their children", if one may judge by the scarcity of manuscripts that contain it, did not enjoy any great popularity in the Middle Ages. Neither Fronton du Duc nor Henry Savile was familiar with it, since it is not included in their respective editions of Chrysostom's wo…

The Value and Influence of Cassiodorus' Ecclesiastical History
Most students of history or literature have had at some time the experience of encountering statements or generalizations made by a writer of an earlier generation and then finding them repeated without question by his successors working in the same field of inquiry. What is more, if dissentient voices have been raised, they have often been overlooked or disregarded. The prevailing estimate of Cassiodorus' Ecclesiastical History affords an excell…
Antiochene Exegesis in Western Europe During the Middle Ages
The outstanding importance of allegorical interpretation to the medieval scholar engaged on interpreting the Scriptures is well known. The method, which had originated in the East and was older than Christianity, became well established in the West during the Patristic age; in its application there was a good deal of variety. Ambrosiaster in commenting on the Pauline epistles combined orthodoxy with an unswerving adherence to the historical sense…

It is now nearly forty years ago that two scholars independently drew attention to Ambrosiaster's attacks on the paganism of his age. Cumont in a brilliant article, La polémique de l'Ambrosiaster contre les paiens, analyzed and discussed Quaestio CXIIII, Adversus paganos, and Quaestio CXV, De fato, of the writer whose identity must still be regarded as uncertain. The purpose of Souter's admirable monograph, A study of Ambrosiaster, was quite diff…

Bede as a Classical and a Patristic Scholar
Among the many and complex problems with which the history of Europe in the Middle Ages—and especially the earlier period of the Middle Ages—teems is the character of the intellectual heritage transmitted to medieval men from classical and later Roman imperial times. The topic has engaged the attention of many scholars, amongst them men of the greatest eminence, so that much which fifty years ago was still dark and uncertain is now clear and beyo…

Candelabrvm Theodosianvm
In a recent article 1 mention was made of a MS. (Cod. Vat. Reg. 215) from which Goetz printed selections in Vol. V. (pp. 583–6) of the ( Corpus Glossariorum Latinorum , and one of its entries was discussed. This so-called glossary, which, as was indicated in the article in question, appears in reality to be a collection of notes, arranged in alphabetical order, from the lectures delivered by Martin the Irishman at Laon in the middle of the ninth …

Geometric Pottery at Delphi
Few terms in archaeology have become as ambiguous as the term Proto-Corinthian. Used at first not unreasonably of a class of small vases found over a wide area, which bear considerable resemblance to Corinthian pottery, the name has come to be applied to a number of vases which differ very widely from the fabrics originally so called. Furtwaengler first extended this term to two vases found near Thebes, and since then the appropriateness of the t…
The Excavation of the Kamares Cave in Crete
The Kamares cave on Mount Ida has been known now for more than twenty years as a prehistoric sanctuary, but its full excavation was only carried out in the summer of 1913 by a party from the British School, which thus resumed the work in Crete discontinued since Palaikastro gave way to Sparta in 1906. This early fame of the cave was due to the discovery in it in the early nineties of a number of vases and a few figurines, which Dr. Hazzidakis sec…
Dediticii
A good many years ago Dircken wrote a short paper with the object of tracing the sources in those parts of the Etymologiae in which Isidore deals with laws or legal terms. He pointed out that, while it could be shown that the ultimate source of Isidore's information was the writings of Gaius, Ulpian or Julius Paulus, it could not be maintained that Isidore himself was directly acquainted with the great jurists of the second and third centuries
The Obelisks of Augustus at Rome
Among the monuments erected by Augustus at Rome were two obelisks, about which the elder Pliny gives fairly full information. They had originally been erected in Egypt by two different monarchs, and, when Augustus had them transported to Rome, the one was placed in the Circus Maximus, the other in the Campus Martius. Moreover, the latter was put to practical use by being an essential part of the large solarium erected by the Emperor. Somewhat ear…
Isocratea
Among the writings of Isocrates the discourse ‘on the Peace’ ranks second only to the Panegyricus . Apart from its literary merits and historical importance, an additional interest attaches to this work, because it is one of the few classical writings of which an early papyrus in a fair state of preservation has come to light
Two Notes from the Liber Glossarvm
In App. Verg. Priap . 3, 3, the most recent editor adopts the form fomitata , first proposed by I. Voss, a form which seems to derive its only authority from a passage in Paulus' abridgement of Festus (Paul. Fest . 66, 9). Though there is some variation in the MSS. of the Priapeia (formitata, formicata, formata, formidata) , the first four letters are in every case the same—namely, form- . Again, in Ps.-Placidus (22, 26) the MSS. give formitat , …

Geographical Lore in the Liber Glossarvm
In the encyclopaedia portion of the Liber Glossarum the compiler introduced numerous historical and geographical excerpts of varying length. The writers from whose works the geographical extracts are primarily taken are Isidore, Orosius, and Eutropius; but though the compiler has in many cases appended the labels ESIDORI, PAVLI HOROSI, or simply OROSI, and EVTROPI to the entries, this is by no means always the case. A few of the excerpts are of g…

The purpose of the following notes is to draw attention to certain glosses in the Philoxenus glossary, and to discuss points arising out of them. The numeration of the glosses is that adopted in the forthcoming critical edition of this important bilingual dictionary
Celtis Again
In the Classical Quarterly , XIX., pp. 192–3, in some remarks on the word celtis , I suggested that the Philoxenus gloss CE 23 (Celtis ῥνα ίΧθύοςεἷδος) was in reality a fusion of two glosses— Celtis : ῥȋνα Celtis (?): ίΧθύος εἶδος and I tried to show that the former was a Bible gloss from Job xix. 24. Since the appearance of my article it has been pointed out by Professor Housman, in a communication to Professor W. M. Lindsay, that I had overlook…
A Ninth-Century Commentator on the Gospel according to Matthew
The subject of this paper, Christian of Stavelot, though he is one of the less familiar figures of the Carolingian revival of learning, whose only substantial work is a commentary on the First Gospel, should be of interest to any student of monastic education. Yet, apart from an admirable essay by Ernst Dummler and a shorter, but very useful, article by Manitius, recent research has not paid much attention to this writer
