{"title":"The Rise and Fall of Seneca Tragicus, c. 1365–1593","authors":"Jan Machielsen","doi":"10.1086/JWCI24396003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/JWCI24396003","url":null,"abstract":"Among Renaissance debates about the authorship of classical texts, relatively little attention has been paid to the reception of the entangled corpus produced by the rhetorician Lucius (or Marcus) Annaeus Seneca and his more famous son, the philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger.1 This historiographical lacuna is especially curious given the drawn-out nature of the discussion, which began with Petrarch and Boccaccio and involved prominent literati such as Justus Lipsius and Joseph Scaliger. The roughly analogous case of the two Plinys—the naturalist Pliny the Elder and his nephew Pliny the Younger—was successfully resolved in the early fourteenth century. In the Senecas debate, similarly, knowledge of the existence of a second author with the same name was lost during the Middle Ages but recovered during the early Renaissance. Unlike that case, however, no smoking gun (Pliny the Younger's account of his uncle's death during the eruption of Vesuvius) was available to clinch the argument.2 Instead, the modern consensus emerged only in the late sixteenth century, after two centuries of scholarly discus sion. That one Seneca was the philosopher forced to commit suicide under Nero was never in doubt, but the search for a second author did not settle on his father, instead producing a fictitious Seneca tragicus, whose identity and motives became the subject of fervent speculation. The recovery of contradictory and, for a time, incomplete testimony from antiquity first sparked off and then finally settled the confusion. In particular, two near-contemporaries of Seneca—Martial and Quintilian—played crucial parts in the story of the birth and demise of Seneca tragicus. Although Martial's role in first prompting the debate has been widely recognised, the way his evidence structured later positions has not—nor the ways in which it was sometimes purposefully hidden. The role of Quintilian's statements in deciding the question has thus far been largely ignored. The present article will, necessarily, sift through the witness testimony available to the disputants but will also pay careful attention to their personal motivations and philosophical commitments.

Yerkes","doi":"10.1086/JWCI24396005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/JWCI24396005","url":null,"abstract":"In antiquity, a series of three barrel vaults, each one of a different material, covered the passage into the Pantheon rotunda. The first of these vaults, made of metal, hung from the bronze beams that once supported the portico roof.1 Probably removed by medieval plunderers, this vault is long gone and no drawings or other images record its appearance.2 But the second vault still stands over the main door, and its square-coffered masonry appears virtually unchanged in the various repre sentations of it made since the sixteenth century.3 On the other side of the door, the interior entrance alcove of the Pantheon cuts through the thick cylindrical perimeter wall of the rotunda, creating an area of transition between the lower, darker space of the portico and the high, bright space under the dome. Above it, the third and final barrel vault is also still present today (Fig. i). Although the brickwork of its intrados is mostly exposed, with white marble veneer only at the edges, several sixteenthand seventeenth-century representations of the Pantheon imply that it was once covered by an ornamental pattern of octagonal and square coffers. The octagons are discernible, for example, on the ruin of the Pantheon depicted in Jean Lemaire's painting of Theseus Finding his Father's Sword and Sandals (c. 1630), now in the Statens Museum in Copenhagen (Fig. 2a-b).4There the barrel vault of the exterior entrance alcove looks as it does now, with a square coffer that echoes those set into the dome, but the barrel vault of the interior alcove, on the left, has octagonal coffering that cannot be seen today.","PeriodicalId":45703,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE WARBURG AND COURTAULD INSTITUTES","volume":"77 1","pages":"115 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60149121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Bacon's day the general consensus was that the world had been created at the time of the spring equinox; but he also knew of scholars who favoured a creation in autumn, for which they could point to a statement in Josephus ( Jewish Antiquities, 1.81) and a number of scriptural passages which presupposed Tishri/ October as the beginning of the year.2 Having introduced the two positions, Bacon goes on to illuminate their astronomical dimension with the following remarks:","PeriodicalId":45703,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE WARBURG AND COURTAULD INSTITUTES","volume":"77 1","pages":"35 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60148821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
