From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a good and clean copy. - From the text: It is a well-known fact that tools and instruments delineated on pagan funeral stones could suggest the craft or profession of the defunct. This in part made up for the paucity of records of occupations in epitaphs. Tools and instruments were common on Christian funeral inscriptions, too. Here, however, their significance is more problematic. In Christian use, many a common tool may have acquired spiritual significance. Thus the balance, libra, could symbolize the Last Judgement, and iugum submission to the Christ. Even such a common article as the shoe could be suggestive of Christian ideas. One of the most-debated symbols is the ascia, which has baffled scholars for hundreds of years. In Christian material, the nearest guess may be that it functioned as a substitute for the cross, as a crux dissimulata. - Wikipedia: Iiro Ilkka Kajanto, född 7 juni 1925 i Raumo, död 30 december 1997 i Esbo, var en finländsk klassisk filolog.

Earlier there had been no literary culture. During the Middle Ages the clergy was almost the only social group that possessed a modicum of learning. Some of them, especially the bishops, had, however, been educated at foreign universities. - Wikipedia: Iiro Ilkka Kajanto (June 7, 1925 Rauma - December 30, 1997 Espoo) was a Finnish ancient scholar (philologist).

Of the others, Finland belonged to Sweden while Norway and Iceland, which had been sovereign states in the Early Middle Ages, were so no longer. However, Norway was united with Denmark by dynastic policies in the late fourteenth century, and it remained under Danish rule until 1814 when Denmark ceded Norway to Sweden. - Wikipedia: Iiro Ilkka Kajanto (June 7, 1925 Rauma - December 30, 1997 Espoo) was a Finnish ancient scholar (philologist).

One is the well-known ship of state, first found in Ps.-Theognis 667-82 and made famous by Horace's Ode 1,14 O navis referent. The simile or allegory is simple, its main point being the stress it lays upon the leading role of the helmsman, the ruler of the state. The other, the body politic, is less used today, but was equally current in antiquity. Though it, too, emphasizes the position of the head of the state, king or emperor, is also symbolized the interdependence of the different parts of the body politic for the well-being of the whole. Thus the organic conception of omónoia or concordia constituted the basic idea of the simile. - Wikipedia: Iiro Ilkka Kajanto (June 7, 1925 Rauma - December 30, 1997 Espoo) was a Finnish ancient scholar (philologist).

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Name of the author handwritten on cover, a little rubbed, otherwise verygood and clean. - From the text: Finland, the northernmost country of Europe, was formerly part of Sweden. It had been so since being christianized in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. In 1809, during the Napoleonic wars, Finland was occupied by, and annexed to, Russia, but was granted the status of an autonomous country with its own laws and institutions. Finland remained a Grand Duchy of Russia until 1917, when the October Revolution gave the Finns a chance to gain independence. Higher civilization reached Finland Relatively late. The first university was founded in 1640 at Turku (Abo), the old capital of the country. In 1828 it was moved to Helsinki. Two other universities were founded after the War of Independence, fifty years ago, both of them at Turku (Abo), one being Swedish, the other Finnish. During the last decade, three other universities have been set up. The importance attached to classical learning in the past is shown by the fact that out of the eleven original chairs of the only university in the country, three were given to Latin and Greek. But the education provided was far from being scholarly and objective. To the end of the nineteenth century, the main task of the professors was to make students proficient in the oral and written use of Latin. Because Finnish was not yet a recognized official language, and Swedish not one of the great languages of Europe, Latin remained in use at the university of Helsinki much longer than in most other European centers of learning. Down to 1852 all dissertations had to be written in Latin. The status of Latin is also revealed by the fact that the official program of the university, issued annually, was in Latin to that great year of change, 1852. - Wikipedia: Iiro Ilkka Kajanto (June 7, 1925 Rauma - December 30, 1997 Espoo) was a Finnish ancient scholar (philologist).

kart. / Paperback. Condition: Gut. p. 204 / 214. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar / Cover slightly rubbed, otherwise good copy - One might justly wonder whether the study of classical mythology at a provincial, small and internationally insignificant university can have more than national interest. I am, however, convinced that this is not so. Literature and learning were to a great extent homogeneous throughout Europe in the 17th century. Hence the discussion of the attitude to the pagan gods and myths at one university will contribute to the general history of classical mythology. Moreover, the number of poems, orations and learned treatises from this period in our country is not so overwhelmingly large as it is in most other countries, even in Sweden and Denmark. Our material thus has the advantage that it can all be exploited within the compass of a single monograph.- INTRODUCTION -- In the first volume, I described the intellectual climate in Finland, which in the seventeenth century was part of the kingdom of Sweden. This was an age of humanism in Sweden. In Finland, however, thinly populated and poor, intellectual life was modest, and chiefly centred on the University. The University was founded in 1640 in Turku ( Swedish Abo ) , the then capital of the country, closed in 1713 because of the Russian invasion, reopened in 1722, moved to Helsinki in 1828, when it was renamed the University of Helsinki. Today it is still the country's leading institute of higher learning. The first printing-press was set up in 1642. It was only after that date that publications written by natives of this country or by Swedes who had come here as professors or in some other official capacity, began to be available in an appreciable number. But the range of publications was still limited. Disregarding Swedish and occasional Finnish or German writings, Latin publications consisted of learned treatises, almost exclusively academic dissertations, occasional poetry: congratulations, epithalamia, epicedia, and orations, either brief pieces in collective publications, not actually delivered, or full-length orations made on various occasions, especially in connection with funerals. -- Although the age was dominated by strict and even intolerant Protestant Orthodoxy - modem ideas, such as Copemicanism and Cartesianism could assert themselves only after tough resistance - classicism also found its way here, although it came late and in modest forms. Classical mythology, a kernel of classicism, was cultivated as decorative motifs in poetry or discussed in a number of dissertations. Although the traditional methods of interpretation, allegorizing and euhemerism, with an admixture of Hebraizing, still predominated, they were, nonetheless, not very different from the continental debate. The legacy of antiquity was particularly clear in the ideas of Fate and Fortune, which despite attempts to assimilate them to Christian thought retained their pagan core as agencies beyond human control.

Dopo la sua cristianizzazione, forzata come era la consuetudine dallo-ra, la Finlandia fece parte del regno di Svezia fino al 1809 quando fu conquistata dalla Russia e annessa ad essa come uno stato autonomo. Durante i sei secoli del dominio svedese, la Finlandia fu quasi completamente assimilata alla civiltà dellOccidente. - Wikipedia: Iiro Ilkka Kajanto (June 7, 1925 Rauma - December 30, 1997 Espoo) was a Finnish ancient scholar (philologist).
