Sprachliches aus dem zweiten synopsisbuch der oribasiusübersetzungen

The author presents a sizable sample of examples (40) that have been labelled hysteron proteron (h.p.) by commentators on Vergil, in order to discuss the criteria underlying the use of the term and - not less importantly - to analyse how this alleged h.p. functions in its context. The interpretations offered will try to grasp the individual variations and not least to examine how the examples are embedded in their context. A basic tenet is that tense, mode and aspect must be taken into due account. Very few, if any, of the author's examples should in his view be treated as true cases of h.p. in future commentaries.

Abstract

This paper surveys the career of Benedetto Bordon as a miniaturist, designer of woodcuts, and cartographer. Although from Padua, Bordon worked primarily in Venice where he illuminated religious and classical texts and official ducal documents destined for Venetian noblemen. The writer argues that Bordon designed woodcut illustrations for books printed by Aldus Manutius and others, in addition to the woodcut maps in his 1528 book on islands in the MediteiTanean, Atlantic, and Caribbean. Bordon's lost world map of 1508 is discussed in relation to the map‐making activities of Francesco Rosselli, the Florentine miniaturist and engraver who was in Venice in 1504 and 1508, and in relation to a circle of Venetian scholars and patricians interested in Ptolemy's Cosmographia and in the mapping of the New World.
