Extractions: Papyri of Rhetoric IIa The second book of Philodemus' treatise On Rhetoric survives in two copies, here labelled 'IIa' and 'IIb'. Copy IIa is preserved in a roll whose last portion ('midollo' or 'marrow', the last, interior windings of the roll), PHerc. 1674, consists of 12 'fragments' and 58 continuous columns of text. At the end of this roll is a notice giving the title, the generic indication 'hypomnematikon', and the number of lines (at least 4,200). The last ten columns of this roll overlap with the first eight of PHerc. 1672, which is labelled as book 2 of Philodemus' On Rhetoric . Thus, 1674 is another copy of the same book as 1672, only the latter's text continues for another 32 columns before reaching the end of the book. Apparently, the copy in PHerc. 1674 ran over onto a second papyrus roll, which does not survive, while the copy in PHerc. 1672, which is more compactly written, was made to fit onto one papyrus roll. Several other pieces ( scorze or 'bark') of the roll whose end is the midollo PHerc.

Extractions: Syria Ethnic Syrians are of Semitic stock. Syria's population is 90% Muslim, 74% Sunni, and 16% other Muslim groups, including the Alawi, Shia, and Druzeand 10% Christian. There also is a tiny Syrian Jewish community. Arabic is the official, and most widely spoken, language. Arabs, including some 400,000 Palestinian refugees, make up 90% of the population. Many educated Syrians also speak English or French, but English is the more widely understood. The Kurds, many of whom speak Kurdish, make up 9% of the population and live mostly in the northeast corner of Syria, though sizable Kurdish communities live in most major Syrian cities as well. Armenian and Turkic are spoken among the small Armenian and Turkoman populations. Most people live in the Euphrates River valley and along the coastal plain, a fertile strip between the coastal mountains and the desert. Overall population density is about 140 per sq. mi. Education is free and compulsory from ages 6 to 11. Schooling consists of 6 years of primary education followed by a 3-year general or vocational training period and a 3-year academic or vocational program. The second 3-year period of academic training is required for university admission. Total enrollment at post-secondary schools is over 150,000. The literacy rate of Syrians aged 15 and older is 78% for males and 51% for females. Ancient Syria's cultural and artistic achievements and contributions are many. Archaeologists have discovered extensive writings and evidence of a brilliant culture rivaling those of Mesopotamia and Egypt in and around the ancient city of Ebla. Later Syrian scholars and artists contributed to Hellenistic and Roman thought and culture. Zeno of Sidon founded the Epicurean school; Cicero was a pupil of Antiochus of Ascalon at Athens; and the writings of Posidonius of Apamea influenced Livy and Plutarch. Syrians have contributed to Arabic literature and music and have a proud tradition of oral and written poetry. Although declining, the world-famous handicraft industry still employs thousands.

Extractions: bottom of page One of the most influential mathematicians of ancient Greece, Euclid flourished around 300 B.C. Not much is known about the life of Euclid. One story which reveals something about Euclid's character concerns a pupil who had just completed his first lesson in geometry. The pupil asked what he would get from learning geometry. So Euclid told his slave to give the pupil a coin so he would be gaining something from his studies. Included in the many works of Euclid is Data , concerning the solution of problems through geometric analysis, On Divisions (of Figures) , the Optics , the Phenomena , a treatise on spherical geometry for astronomers, several lost works on higher geometry, and the Elements , a thirteen volume textbook on geometry. The Elements , which surely became a classic soon after its publication, eventually became the most influential textbook in the history of civilization. In fact, it has been said that apart from the Bible , the Elements is the most widely read and studied book in the world.

Parrhesia And Community Life: Epictetus exposition. But we do have a text entitled On Frank Speaking writtenby Philodemus (who is recording the lectures of zeno of sidon). The http://foucault.info/documents/parrhesia/Lecture-05/03.communitylife.html
Extractions: document.write (document.title); Although the Epicureans, with the importance they gave to friendship, emphasized community life more than other philosophers at this time, nonetheless one can also find some stoic groups, as well as Stoic or Stoico-Cynic philosophers who acted as moral and political advisors to various circles and aristocratic clubs. For example, Musonius Rufus was spiritual advisor to Nero's cousin, Rubellius Plautus, and his circle; and the Stoico-Cynic philosopher Demetrius was advisor to a liberal anti-aristocratic group around Thrasea Paetus. Thrasea Paetus, a roman senator, committed suicide after being condemned to death by the senate during Nero's reign. And Demetrius was the régisseur, I would say, of his suicide. So besides the community life of the Epicureans there are other intermediate forms. There is also the very interesting case of Epictetus. Epictetus was a Stoic for whom the practice of speaking openly and frankly was also very important. He directed a school about which we know a few things from the four surviving volumes of Epictetus' Discourses as recorded by Arrian. We know, for example, that Epictetus' school was located at Nicopolis in a permanent structure which enabled students to share in a real community life. Public lectures and teaching sessions were given where the public was invited, and where individuals could ask questionsalthough sometimes such individuals were mocked and twitted by the masters. We also know that Epictetus conducted both public conversations and interviews. His school was a kind of école normale for those who wanted to become philosophers or moral advisors.

Extractions: (Rewritten: Oct 2002) Part Two : Post-Easter Data and Discussion In modern discussions about the teachings and history of the New Testament, the issue of pseudonymity (i.e. "false(ly) named") generally comes up. This term refers to the position of some NT scholars that the stated authors of some of the NT epistles are not the actual authors of those documentsthat someone other than Paul wrote an epistle which claims it was written by Paul, or that someone other than Peter wrote an epistle which claims it was written by Peter. The term 'pseudepigraphy' (lower case p) is somewhat related: its narrow meaning refers to pseudonymous writings (i.e., writings which state the author to be someone else than the actual author). The term 'Pseudepigraphy' (capital P)a much 'looser term' refers to a collection of books not included in the canons of the Hebrew or Christian bibles. Most of these books (in the pre-NT writings) are actually anonymous (making no explicit claim to authorship), but were either (a) later attributed to someone other than the actual author; or (b)

Extractions: THE EPICUREANS Sources . Of the voluminous writings of Epicurus only a few fragments have come down to us, and these are for the most part unimportant. For the history of the school the most important primary source is Lucretius' poem De Rerum Natura . As secondary sources we have the works of Cicero, Plutarch, Diogenes Laertius, and the Aristotelian commentators. History of the Epicurean School Epicurus was born at Samos in the year 341 or 342 B.C. His father, Neocles, was, Strabo tells us, a school teacher. According to the tradition of the Epicurean school, Epicurus was a self-taught philosopher, and this is confirmed by his very superficial acquaintance with the philosophical systems of his predecessors. Still, he must have had some instruction in philosophy, for Pamphilus and Nausiphanes are mentioned as having been his teachers; Epicurus, however, would not acknowledge his debt to them, boasting that he had begun his self-instruction at the age of fourteen, having been driven to rely on his own powers of thought by the inability of his teacher to explain what was meant by the Chaos of Hesiod. He first taught at Mitylene, afterwards at Lampsacus, and finally at Athens, where he established his school in a garden, thereby giving occasion for the name by which his followers were known, . Here he taught until his death, which took place in 270 B.C.

Extractions: By Michael Thomsen Euclid was born in approximately 365 BC and died in approximately 300 BC He lived in Alexandria, Egypt where he was a prominent and famous teacher. Very little reliable information is known about his life. Ironically, he is, perhaps, the most famous mathematician from this period. Euclid gained much of his fame from his treatise on geometry, The Elements . This treatise served as a basis for most of the teachings and study in mathematics for nearly two thousand years. One of the notable ideas in The Elements was the famous fifth, or parallel, postulate. This idea states that only one line can be drawn from a line to a parallel point. This idea became the cornerstone of "Euclidean" geometry which survived into the nineteenth century. The Elements was divided into thirteen books on a variety of subjects: books 1-6 dealt with plane geometry, books 7-9 dealt with number theory, book 10 concerned Exodus's theory of irrational numbers, and books 11-13 spoke about solid geometry. Another famous aspect of The Elements was a discussion and a thorough mathematical proof of regular polyhedra. In fact, the rigor of that proof served as a model for the people who later pioneered calculus. As remarkable as Euclid's works was, it was not infallible.

Extractions: The attitude of Epicurus in this whole matter is antagonistic to science. The idea of a systematic enchainment of phenomena, in which each is conditioned by every other, and none can be taken in isolation and explained apart from the rest, was foreign to his mind. So little was the scientific conception of the solar system familiar to Epicurus that he could reproach the astronomers, because their account of an eclipse represented things otherwise than as they appear to the senses, and could declare that the sun and stars were just as large as they seemed to us. Works.Epicurus was a voluminous writer (iroXtrypa4~n-aro~, Diog. Laërt. x. 26)the author, it is said, of about 300 works. He had a style and vocabulary of his own. His chief aim in writing was plainness and intelligibility, but his want of order and logical precision thwarted his purpose. He pretended to have read little, and to be the original architect of his own system, and the claim was no doubt on the whole true. But he had read Democritus, and, it is said, Anaxagoras and Archelaus. His works, we learn, were full of repetition, and critics speak of vulgarities of language and faults of style. None the less his writings were committed to memory and remained the textbooks of Epicureanism to the last. His chief work was a treatise on natu,o ~tIepi 4brewc), in thirty-seven books, of which fragments f~oin about nine books have been found in the rolls discovei i-tI at Herculaneum, along with considerable treatises by seveaal of his followers, and most notably Philodemus. An epitome of his doctrine is contained in three letters preserved by Diogenes.
