Estudio sobre el vocabulario jurídico en el dialecto cretense

Martínez Fernández, Ángel

In this paper the author analyzes the Cretan legal terminology related to the judicial procedure and. penalties. The terms are gathered into four sections: a) persons in charge of the administration of justice and the exercise of their duties; b) the litigant parties; c) admissible proofs on a trial; d) and finally, the result and execution of the lawsuit. There are two clearly differentiated phases in the historical development of the Cretan legal vocabulary. Firstly, the inscriptions of the Archaic and Classical periods show numerous terms peculiar to the Cretan legislative language, along with other words which are usual in Greek or common to other legislations such as the Attic one. And secondly, the influence of a legal supradialectal nomenclature, favoured by the Koine, is observed in inscriptions of the Hellenistic period.

La ‘Vita Sancti Columbae’: un ejemplo de la cultura Hiberno-Latina

González Marrero, José Antonio
León Rolo, Beatriz

The present paper seeks to revieiv hiberno-latin culture through its Literature. We take Adamnan’s Vita Sancti Columbae as our principal referent in achieving this aim. This is a text which was written towards the end of the 7th. century and transmitted in a series of manuscripts. We also give a brief account of this text. Its main idea is focused on the influence that Ireland and its monks had on both medieval literature, written in Latin on the continent, and on European culture through the rigorious teaching of the Latin language in the school system.

El universo en los mitos clásicos

González Marrero, José Antonio
Real Torres, Carolina

The present paper will try to forget the differences that divide astronomy and astrology nowadays. We will do it with examples which make reference to the Classical period. This topic will serve us to make a general revision of the Universe (mainly of planets) with the explicit aim of proving that astronomy would not bear the importance that has in our days if in other historical eras astrology would not have participated in its conception.

Acerca de un comentario sobre el rey Wamba (672-680) y la ‘Chronica Naierensis’ (s. XII)

Martínez Ortega, Ricardo

A remark by Prof. Juan Gil in his historiographical study of the XI-XIII centuries prompted the writing of this paper, which is an attempt to track down the two current traditions about the figure of king Wamba (672-680). One considers him to be a monk who died in Pampliega (Historia de rebus Hispanie, Chronicon Mundi, Crónica de Alfonso III, Primera Crónica General de España); the other, represented by the Chronica Naierensis, believes him to be buried somewhere in the threefold place-name Castella-Valle Monio-ecclesia Sancti Petri. The author concludes that in fact both interpretations refer to the same place, which in one case is known as Pampliega, a village in Burgos, but also as Saint Peter’s church, in Pampliega. No contradiction therefore exists between the old tradition and thai of the Chronica Naierensis.

¿Encargó Braulio de Zaragoza a Eugenio de Toledo que compusiera una misa de San Millán? Para una interpretación de ‘Vita Emiliani’, 3, 5-10

Valcárcel, Vitalino

What is Braulio asking from Eugenius in this passage: that he requires a Mass to be celebrated (where?) in honour of San Millán, or that Eugenius himself writes the Mass, or, simply, some parts or prayers for it?

Interpretación de la Biblia en Qumrán

García Martínez, Florentino

The manuscripts from Qumran are fundamentally biblical exegesis in spite of the variety of contents and literary genres. The author analyses, on the one hand, the characteristics of Qumran’s biblical exegesis. He mentions first the «derash ha-Torab», that is, the «Interpretation of the Law», that aims to find the hidden element («nistar») in the Law, what is to be distinguished from the revealed one («nigle»). The former is revealed to the community members only, by means of the «Interpreter of the Law», that is, of the «Teacher of Justice», and it is to be concealed from those outside the community. Then the author discusses the interpretation of Prophets (and Psalms) («pesher ha-nebi’im») and states that it is determined by the principle of «escatologization», i. e., the meaning of these writings is referred to the historical present of the community. In this interpretation the «Teacher of Justice» plays an essential role. On the other hand, the author studies the function of this exegesis inside the community. He characterizes it as compulsory for the community members. The exegesis also serves as the discriminatory element between the community members and the rest of the people.
