Gott mit dem Dschungel loben
Christian Kabbalah and Indo-Iranian Philology
With the late 18th and early 19th century the movement of speculative antiquarianism in France and Great Britain reached its peak. Figures like Charles Dupuis, Jean-Sylvain Bailly, Jacob Bryant, or Georges Stanley Faber might have been different in the final aims of their theoretical architecture, but they nevertheless had many objects in common. One key figure of the early 18th century was Charles Vallancey (1731–1812), who with immense efforts …
On the Tarantula
Tarantulas and the strange effects the biting spiders had on their victims were well known at least since the 16th century. How did the spider’s venom work in the human body and produce the bizarre symptoms in it? And why was it possible to cure the effects of the spider bite by music and dance? This paper selects three authors from the second half of the 17th century who tried to answer these questions, three authors who have also been almost wh…
Die Seele Trajans
Zu den scheinbaren Curiosa, mit denen sich schon die mittelalterliche, vor allem aber die frühneuzeitliche Theologie auseinandersetzen mußte, gehörte die Legende, Gregor der Große habe die Seele Trajans durch seine Fürbitten aus der Hölle befreien können. Die gut bezeugte und reich ventilierte hagiographische Tradition war mit erheblichem Skandalisierungspotential verbunden, torpedierte sie doch die strenge Teilung von Fegefeuer und Hölle, die fü…
Epistulae ex Ponto
Waren die fünf Bücher der Tristia von etwa 8–12 n. Chr. entstanden, so folgten die vier Bücher der Epistulae ex Ponto ungefähr in den Jahren 12–17. Ovid, den eine relegatio des Kaisers, wie er selbst sagt, nach Tomi an der Schwarzmeerküste verbannt hatte (zum Terminus vgl. Bretzigheimer 1991, zur Datierung z. B. Syme 1978, bes. 42–44), sollte Rom nicht mehr wiedersehen. Die vier Bücher elegischer Briefe spiegeln den begrenzten Themenradius der Tr…
Die Poesie der Dinge
Phoenician Ireland
In the eighteenth century Ireland was not the centre of the world.1 It was a land dominated and exploited by England, with a rural population who were regarded as barbarians at best by the gentlemen at home in the clubs and coffee houses of England's cities. For them, the native language of the Irish was no more than an incomprehensible squawking that needn't be accorded any further significance. Would it not, then, be a magnificent surprise, alm…
Vom dämonischen Archetyp zur Konstruktion einer Urtradition. Die Kontroverse über das Geschlecht der Giganten an den Barocken Universitäten
Locutio angelica
The question of how pure spiritual beings like angels communicate had already been discussed by the Church Fathers. How could an angelic speech-act take place, if it does not follow the laws of ordinary language? The scholastic philosophers conducted an extensive and rather controversial debate about the language of angels ('locutio angelica'), which covered pragmatics, aspects of the 'Language of Mind' and the theory of truth and meaning. This d…
