This paper attempts to measure Ovidian response to the Georgics at two levels, the level of formal, verbal allusion and the level of themes and values. I have been led to focus on Ovid's treatment of Ceres/Demeter (and less prominently Liber/Bacchus) because Ceres as teacher of agriculture and benefactor of men is central to Virgil's representation of evolving human culture. But Ceres is equally important to the Fasti (although her sober personality makes her unappealing as a candidate for interview by the poet) as a major deity in the largely rural Roman calendar, as a symbol of the didactic principle, and for her very centrality in the Virgilian poem that Ovid is emulating.","PeriodicalId":177773,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124685187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dr FENNELL stated a theory of the representation of Indo-Geraiiinic Isounds in early Sanskrit in the form of two propositions and a corollary. The first proposition is that— The weak grade of Indo-European elis represented in the earliest Sanskrit by the vowel r (r) or ir, Ir or ur, ur (at the time of the change of such ul, ul to such ur, ur respectively, these vowels written u, n were not Indo-Germanic usounds but rounded isounds and therefore palatal). The second proposition is that Indo-Germanic Isounds of syllables which contained a palatal consonant were represented by Sanskrit r unless (A) a dental consonant immediately followed (in which case we find the phenomena classified under Fortunatov's Law), or (B) the instance fell under the first proposition. The corollary is that— As the alleged sonant -I (I) followed by a consonant other than I is regularly changed to r or a vowel and r, while I is only changed to r when affected by palatal consonants, there was not that intimate relation between I and the early Sanskrit weak grade of el which has been assumed, but that this weak grade contained a vowel which in early Sanskrit was palatal, namely an isound or a rounded isound. It follows also that the so-called vowel r, the Sanskrit r, contained an isound. Early Sanskrit Isounds were dental and rsounds cerebral (lingual); but phenomena suggest that I was nearer to the cerebral configuration than other dentals and r nearer to the palatal configuration than other cerebrals (linguals). A number of examples in support of the theory were adduced and exceptional cases exhaustively discussed. Skt. aratni'elbow,' 'forearm' is not akin to Lat. ulna, u>£vr), but to Skt. arus 'joint,' Lat. artus. In the sense ' refreshing drink ' ird, Id.-G. aid is akin to Eng. 'ale' (olu-), but represents Id.-G. 3rd in the senses 'earth,' 'water.' Most of the few exceptional cases which cannot be explained as due to analogy or assimilation are isolated or rare forms, of which no probable etymology has been offered. The only exceptional cases of this kind of which the etymology is ascertained are the isolated alipsata and qalyd-, the rare puluand glokd(which may have been associated with a special class of noises and so exempted from change). This theory owes much to H. D. Darbishire's paper on ' The Sanskrit Liquids,' Relliquiae Philologicae, pp. 199—264.","PeriodicalId":177773,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121388498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L. F. Rivet observed with reference to die distribution of Romano-British villas that 'the main development often takes place not near the original cantonal capital but near a somewhat smaller town'. The important social implications of this observation seem to have gone unnoticed. In so far as villas represent the dwellings of an upper class this distribution ought to give us a hint of the habits of the gentry in Roman Britain. The best clue is perhaps analogy. The seat of the duke of Omnium is Gatherum Castle. The duke's family may appear at social functions (sparingly) or more commonly on the hustings in the local town but can hardly be imagined to have had a house there. The town houses of people of this sort are found in London, the spas and other such centres of fashion and politics. At a less exalted level we may imagine the gentry of the Romano-British civitates having their villas in the countryside within convenient ränge of a market town and their town houses in the civitas capitals. Those who moved on a higher social and political plane may well also have had houses in the provincial capital and it is probably at places such as London, Cirencester and York that we should look for die urban counterparts of Lullingstone and Bignor.","PeriodicalId":177773,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121393080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

You were not all here when I joined the Faculty eighteen years ago, but you have all helped to sustain the atmosphere of cooperation, good will, and intellectual adventure, which has made this Faculty such a wonderful place to work and teach in. There is much that I shall miss when I go. But that is not what I want to talk about now. To borrow the words of our Chairman, Ian DuQuesnay, I should like this occasion to be a party rather than a wake. What I want to say is this. It is too late now – twelve years too late – to apologize for not having given an Inaugural Lecture. There was no particular moment when I decided not to, just many many moments when other work seemed both more urgent and, to be honest, more interesting. The trouble with Inaugural Lectures is that you are expected to define your subject and say how it ought to be done. You begin by paying respectful tribute to your predecessor – in my case G. E. L. Owen, so the tribute would have been sincere and a pleasure to compose. But then comes the hard part, in which you set out ‘the aims and objectives’ (as the managerial language of our present rulers would have us call them) of your discipline. In other words, I would have had to tell myself and my colleagues where ancient philosophy in Cambridge ought to go and how it ought to get there.","PeriodicalId":177773,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114115033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ‘popular theme’ cast into Latin senarii by the fabulist Phaedrus in the early 1st century A.D. which appears in modern editions as ‘Appendix Perottina’ 16 Perry / 14 Postgage has, it is supposed, been transmitted to modern West Europe, where it is to be identified in a set of subliterary ‘versions’. The counter-suggestion made here is that (1) this supposition is methodologically dubious and (2) that a close understanding of the nature and history of Phaedrus' collection of fabulae makes it unlikely. The study is also intended to notice some of the central problems, procedural and practical, which are to be encountered in such investigations into folkloric subliterature.","PeriodicalId":177773,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114612445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The censor did have powers to discipline those he found wanting in dutifulness towards the sacra; Cato once removed the public horse from one Veturius partly on religious grounds, though partly because he was too fat to ride it. In the courts, irreligion on the defendant's part was one of the most familiar themes of abuse; Cicero never underestimated the emotional impact of religious prejudice in his day. But the only formal charge of irreligion we hear of is that of incestum with a Vestal Virgin and, with that uncommon exception, there is nothing at Rome which corresponds even to the Greek asebeia proceedings, let alone to the persecutions or inquisitions of later Christian Europe. This does not prove that religious obligations were not felt or imposed through other forms of social pressure, but the apparatus of the State and the State's religious authorities seem not to have been directly concerned.","PeriodicalId":177773,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126541179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
