CHRYSOLARAS, M., Vergelijking tussen het oude en het nieuwe Rome. Brief aan de keizer van Byzantium. Vertaling N. Glas en H. Lamers. Nabeschouwing H. Lamers. Ta Grammata, Groningen, 2019. 80p. Hard bound. Series: Grieks Proza XXXI. Manuel Chrysoloras schrijft in 1411 uit Rome een lange brief aan zijn vriend, de Byzantijnse keizer Manuel II Palaeologus. Daarin vergelijkt hij het 'Oude Rome' met zijn thuishaven Constantinopel, het 'Nieuwe Rome'. Een politiek gevoelige vergelijking in die tijd! Constantinopel en Rome stonden voor twee verschillende, soms zelfs vijandige wereldbeelden: orthodoxie versus katholicisme, Patriarch versus Paus, Grieks versus Latijn, Oost versus West. Maar Chrysoloras dicht de kloof door tot wederzijdse bewondering te inspireren. Zo beschrijft hij Rome en Constantinopel als moeder en dochter, beide even Romeins, maar de een net wat 'Griekser' dan de ander: En ik denk dat een moeder toch niet jaloers zal worden als haar dochter wordt geprezen, zoals het omgekeerd onredelijk is dat een dochter nijdig wordt omdat men haar moeder prijst. Chrysoloras en de keizer deelden hun liefde voor antieke literatuur. Als een van de laatste sterren van de Byzantijnse renaissance was Chrysoloras tegelijk een bezieler van de Griekse studiën in Italië. Zo stond hij daar aan de wieg van het humanisme en was hij een cultfiguur voor Italiaanse humanisten. De uitgave is van groot belang voor een breed historisch geïnteresseerd publiek, in het bijzonder voor lezers met een klassieke achtergrond of met interesse in late middeleeuwen en Italiaanse renaissance of in de Griekse en Osmaanse wereld in de vijftiende eeuw.

CHUAQUI, C., El texto escénico de 'Las Bacantes' de Eurípides. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, 1994. 253p. ills.(B&W photographs). Paperback. Series: Cuadernos del Centro de Estudios Clásicos, 36. (Rare). This book 'will be of interest not only to professional classicists but also to those who are fond of classical tragedy and comedy, and, in particular, to theatre critics, theatre aficionados and music students. Although the text was written with the undergraduate in mind, they supply adept analyses for the scholar and the more advanced student. The author provides impressive and thorough cultural, literary, mythological, historical, musical and dramatic contexts (….). [The book] consists of a prologue, five chapters, twelve vase illustrations, a translation of the ‘Bacchae’, a chronology of the development of performances at different festivals (dating from 534 to 150 BC), a chronology of principal authors and musicians, a glossary divided into terms on the structure of tragedy, the architecture of the ancient theatre, actors and theatrical cues and directions, wardrobe, music and instruments, and dance and mime. The book concludes with a bibliography. In the prologue the objective of the book is made clear: a ‘virtual’ reconstruction of the play will be attempted in order to be able to produce it on stage (p.11). In the fist chapter, ‘La dramaturgia griega’(pp.15-32), the methodology of Chuaqui’s objective is explicated when she notes that there is a great difference between the literary text and the ‘text escénico’, which can be understood best as a semiotic interpretation of the paly. Chuaqui is very careful to stipulate that because the art of interpretation is subjective, the translator has to make some choices. Archaizing or modern? Verse or prose? Literal or free and paraphrased? The prose translation presented is one that has been adapted for the stage emphasizing the signifier and signified. (…) In her epilogue Chuaqui hopes that her translation, which is very good and closely adheres to the ancient Greek, will be considered a ‘lecture activa’ of the ‘Bacchae’. I think that her expectation has been fulfilled. The translation is inspiring and should be welcomed by more than just the Mexican reading audience for which this text was intended.’ (EDMUND P. CUEVA in Scholia, 2000, 50). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux. € 37.50 (Antiquarian)
