Scholia
Scholia (singular scholium or scholion, from grc, σχόλιον, "comment, interpretation") are grammatical, critical, or explanatory comments – original or copied from prior commentaries – which are inserted in the margin of the manuscript of ancient authors, as glosses. One who writes scholia is a scholiast. The earliest attested use of the word dates to the 1st century BC. History Ancient scholia are important sources of information about many aspects of the ancient world, especially ancient literary history. The earliest scholia, usually anonymous, date to the 5th or 4th century BC (such as the ''scholia minora'' to the ''Iliad''). The practice of compiling scholia continued to late Byzantine times, outstanding examples being Archbishop Eustathius' massive commentaries to Homer in the 12th century and the ''scholia recentiora'' of Thomas Magister, Demetrius Triclinius and Manuel Moschopoulos in the 14th. Scholia were altered by successive copyists an ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

New Catholic Encyclopedia
The ''New Catholic Encyclopedia'' (NCE) is a multi-volume reference work on Roman Catholic history and belief edited by the faculty of The Catholic University of America. The NCE was originally published by McGraw-Hill in 1967. A second edition, which gave up the articles more reminiscent of a general encyclopedia, was published in 2002. It was intended by the faculty to become, like its predecessor the 1914 ''Catholic Encyclopedia'', a standard reference work for students, teachers, librarians, journalists, and general readers interested in the history, doctrine, practices, and people of the Catholic faith. However, unlike its predecessor, its first edition also contained more general articles on science, education, and the liberal arts. The 2002 edition of the NCE was listed as one of ''Library Journal''s "Best Reference Sources" for 2003. First edition The original ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' was published between 1907 and 1914, first by the Robert Appleton Company, which was s ...

Hebrew Republic
The Hebrew Republic, also “''De Republica Hebraeorum''”, and also “''Respublica Hebraeorum''”, is an early modern concept in political theory in which Christian scholars regarded the Hebrew Bible as a political constitution framing a perfect and republican government designed by God for the children of Israel. In 1582, Carlo Sigonio published a text entitled ''De Republica Hebraeorum''. It used the format of the ''De repubblica Athenensium'' manual. The question of the political structure in ancient Israel had already been addressed before, but Sigonio was the first to adopt a systematic approach. However, he did not know Hebrew and so used the translation of the Septuagint, giving rise to not a few problems. Among the most notable works in the genre are “''De Republica Hebraeorum''” by Petrus Cunaeus and Eric Nelson's "The Hebrew Republic". A Catholic contributor to the ''respublica Hebraeorum'' genre was the Jesuit Giovanni Stefano Menochio, who published his o ...
