Накратко на български

Анонимното гръцко стихотворение „Литика“ от IV век описва магическите и лечебни свойства на 29 камъка. Работата по него помага да се разбере религиозният конфликт между езичеството и християнството в Римската империя.

Orphic Lithika : A New Edition

This project concerns the “Orphic” Lithica, an anonymous Greek poem, probably composed in the 4th century A.D. and transmitted by some fifteen manuscripts scattered in libraries throughout Europe. It is a text dedicated to the magical and therapeutic virtues of 29 stones that has been relatively little studied, especially in terms of its philological, literary, cultural, and religious aspects. The aim of this project is to provide a new critical edition of the text based on a new examination of the manuscripts; a new (French) translation that is also accessible to non-specialists; and a commentary that allows the Lithica to be placed in its historical and cultural context. This is probably the milieu of the emperor who went down in history as Julian the Apostate (361-363), also an author and Neo-Platonic philosopher. He was a nephew of Constantine the Great and wanted to restore the pagan religion in an empire where Christianity was becoming increasingly widespread and was on its way to becoming the state religion. This project is important for society in several respects. First, it enables the library heritage of various European countries (Italy, France, Spain among the main ones) to be put to good use. Secondly, it allows for greater dissemination of a text that is still little known. Thirdly, it will provide a better understanding of a period such as the 4th century marked by an interreligious dialogue, if not conflict, between Pagans and Christians, an issue that is all the more topical in today's world and therefore of interest to a wider audience than just specialists.

Цел на проекта

The Orphic Lithika constitute a short poem in hexameters (774 lines) about the miraculous virtues of 29 stones, the author and the date of composition of which remain unknown. The aim of my research is to provide an overall study of this relatively poorly studied text, which is still lacking today: a reliable critical text, a faithful translation of the poem accessible even to non-classicists, and an extensive historical-literary and philosophical commentary which sheds light on the exact significance of a little-known text and its context of production. The methodology and approach that I will implement for the constitution of the text, the translation and the commentary will be traditional. The most innovative aspect of my work will consist in the attempt to propose a new comprehensive interpretation of the poem, starting from the hypothesis of its composition at the end of the 4th century AD within the milieu of the pagan philosophers who were friends and followers of the emperor Julian (361-363) – also known as “the Apostate” due to his failed attempt to restore pagan religious traditions in a Roman Empire which, by his times, had largely become Christianized. This project will enhance my creative and innovative scholarly potential and enable me to diversify my individual competence in terms of new skills acquisition, thanks to advanced training and international mobility. This would by in full conformity to the spirit and mission of the Marie Curie actions.
