Brill's Companion to the Reception of Plutarch de Sophia Xenophontos

Brill's Companion to the Reception of Plutarch: Brill's Companions to Classical Reception, cartea 20

Sophia Xenophontos, Katerina Oikonomopoulou
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 aug 2019
The Greek biographer and philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-125 AD) makes a fascinating case-study for reception studies not least because of his uniquely extensive and diverse afterlife. Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Plutarch offers the first comprehensive analysis of Plutarch’s rich reception history from the Roman Imperial period through Late Antiquity and Byzantium to the Renaissance, Enlightenment and the modern era. The thirty-seven chapters that make up this volume, written by a remarkable line-up of experts, explore the appreciation, contestation and creative appropriation of Plutarch himself, his thought and work in the history of literature across various cultures and intellectual traditions in Europe, America, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Notă biografică

Sophia Xenophontos, DPhil (2011) Oxford, is a Lecturer in Classics at the University of Glasgow. Her research interests are in the Greek literature, philosophy and culture of the Roman Imperial period. She is the author of Ethical education in Plutarch: moralising agents and contexts (Berlin-Boston 2016) and of several articles and book chapters on practical ethics and the therapy of the emotions in post-Hellenistic philosophical writings. Another strand of her research is the reception of the Greek ethical tradition (especially Plutarch and Aristotle) in late Byzantium and the Enlightenment. Her current book project is on Galen’s works of popular philosophy and their interplay with his medical theory and practice. She is also preparing the editio princeps for George Pachymeres’ Commentary on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics.
Katerina Oikonomopoulou, DPhil (2007) Oxford, is Assistant Professor of Ancient Greek Literature at the University of Patras. Her research focuses on Graeco-Roman imperial literature and culture, especially on miscellanistic and encyclopaedic writing, science, medicine and the symposium. Her publications include numerous article-length studies in the above topics and the co-edited volumes The Philosopher’s Banquet: Plutarch’s Table Talk in the Intellectual Culture of the Roman Empire (with Frieda Klotz, OUP 2011) and Space, Time and Language in Plutarch (with Aristoula Georgiadou, De Gruyter 2017).

Recenzii

"This new companion to the reception of Plutarch is most welcome. The breadth of coverage in its thirty-seven chapters is unprecedented. (...) The depth of coverage is likewise unprecedented, for which it is all but required to have such a team of scholars to achieve this. (...) Some chapters are more synoptic, some more illustrative, some more engaging, but, as a set, the editors deserve praise for achieving their goal “to encourage further research” (6) in the reception of Plutarch. (...) The result is a set of studies as multifaceted and varied as the Plutarchan corpus itself." - Brad L. Cook, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2020.08.17
"The volume’s most important achievement is clear: the advancement made with regard to Plutarch’s reception in Byzantium is spectacular and reflects the relatively recent burgeoning of Byzantine studies in terms of both methodology and available sources. [...] it is clear that this volume is leaps and bounds ahead of earlier scholarship both in the scope of material collected and in interpretative depth. Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Plutarch<7i> will undoubtedly stimulate further study of Plutarch’s reception, not only as a reference work, but also by inspiring new ways of approaching the rich afterlife of this unforgettable intellectual." - Bram Demulder, in: The Classical Review 71.2 350–352
