This paper sheds new light on a mode of late antique Vergilian interpretation, according to which Aeneas, Dido, and other characters in the Aeneid observe the regulations of Roman ritual norms, even standing in for priests including the famous flamen and flaminica Dialis. I argue that this mode of interpretation, which I refer to as sacro-legal exegesis, was a productive endeavor in Late Antiquity, offering members of the pagan aristocracy a means for locating and formulating the practice of traditional Roman cult within the pages of the Aeneid. I close by offering some parallels to a mode of rabbinic midrash according to which the biblical patriarchs followed the commandments prior to the revelation at Sinai. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The stanza is often overlooked in studies of poetics, and this tendency is even more pronounced during the Renaissance, where it is practically absent from rhetorical treatises. Despite this theoretical neglect, the usage, dating back to Marot, has clearly demonstrated the extent to which poets exploit this scale of verse combination to carry out their lyrical experiments. Agrippa d'Aubigné is not exempt from this poetic exercitatio, as evidenced by the considerable variety of strophes at work in the Odes of Le Printemps. Building upon this reconstructed corpus, this article aims to illustrate how the stanza of the ode constitutes a privileged place for the poet in terms of rhythmic, syntactic, and sonic composition.

Although David Hume never addresses translation at length, he regularly invokes an interlingual movement at decisive moments in his work. Each of this article's three sections addresses a pair of such moments. The first argues that translation establishes the association of ideas in A Treatise of Human Nature and An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding. The second analyzes translation as the ground of both the rational and the emotional arguments for God in the Dialogues concerning Natural Religion. The third and final section addresses translation as a highly regulated object of criticism in the History of England before turning to the Essays where it launches the search for the standard of taste in all criticism. Because translation thus intervenes not only in Hume's criticism, where one might expect it, but also in his historiography, theology and epistemology, this article concludes by formalizing the interdisciplinary perspective translation opens in Hume's work.

This article updates our knowledge of Raoul Tainguy, a copyist of the early 15th century with a readily slangy vocabulary. Today, he is credited with copying 14 manuscripts and one fragment. It seems that he did not work exclusively for the family of the chancellor of France, Arnaud de Corbie (+ 1414). His status raises questions. Was he a copyist-publisher, as suggested by his manuscript of the poems of Eustache Deschamps? Or was he a copyist-librarian, as suggested by the fact that he repeatedly copied different versions of the same text? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
