Main description: Seneca, als gescheiterter Erzieher des Kaisers Nero berühmt geworden, stammte aus Cordoba. Seine Briefe an Lucilius sind eine Einführung in die Philosophie der Stoiker, deren Ideal es war, durch Gelassenheit und Seelenruhe weise zu werden. Seneca bietet keine systematische Darstellung, sondern zeigt Wege zur philosophischen Bewältigung konkreter Probleme des menschlichen Lebens: Wege zum wahren Glück. Die Briefe sind unmittelbar ansprechend, lebendig dialogisch geschrieben und heute noch aktuell. Band I ist 2007 erschienen.

Main description: Senecas philosophische Schriften führen bald lehrhaft, bald im Plauderton, bald pathetisch, bald ironisch an Probleme heran, die auch die Menschen des 21. Jahrhunderts bewegen: Einsamkeit, Krankheit, Tod ... Und seine Ratschläge sind alltagstauglich, weil sie nicht dem Forderungskatalog eines der Welt entrückten Heiligen entstammen. Das Buch enthält die Schriften: Die Vorsehung, Die Unerschütterlichkeit des Weisen, Der Zorn, Trostschrift für Marcia, Das glückliche Leben, Die Zurückgezogenheit, Die Ruhe der Seele, Die Kürze des Lebens, Trostschrift für Polybius, Trostschrift für Mutter Helvia.

The aim of this essay is to analyze and describe the characteristics of the Hereafter in Lucian as a paradoxical utopia with a cynical origin. Specifically in Hades we can find the egalitarian rules of democracy and we hope that the law will be the same for everyone. And the hereafter is the realm of freedom of speech and laugh, where we can meet Menippus, Diogenes and Crates. Of course, as we shall see, not all the problems are eliminated.

Dass der Band mit insgesamt 451 Stücken ausnahmsweise ein ganzes Jahr umfasst, kommt nicht von ungefähr. Leibniz' Korrespondenz ist weniger dicht als in den Vorjahren; er selbst sieht sich geradezu abgeschnitten von "nova literaria". Die Gründe dafür sind vielfältiger Natur; die von ihm selbst angeführten gesundheitlichen Probleme dürften (auch wenn sie ihn von nun an bis zu seinem Lebensende begleiten werden) nur eine Nebenrolle gespielt haben. Vor allem sehen wir Leibniz in diesem Jahr, das er zu fast gleichen Teilen an den Höfen zu Berlin/Lietzenburg und Hannover/Herrenhausen verbringt, in einem fruchtbaren, absorbierenden Schaffensprozess. Einbezogen in die philosophischen Dispute am Hofe der preußischen Königin, und auch nach der Rückkehr nach Hannover im Dialog mit ihr gibt er mehreren Vorträgen (darunter der zunächst für diesen Hof bestimmten "Méditation sur la notion commune de la justice") Schriftform. Auch die Auseinandersetzung mit John Locke (und ebenso mit François Lamy) nimmt, in den Briefen gespiegelt, Gestalt an. Aus dem Austausch mit dem Chinamissionar Bouvet über anscheinende Parallelen zwischen dem binären Zahlensystem und den Hexagrammen des Yijing erwächst der "Essay d'une nouvelle sciences des nombres". Auch wenn die welfische Hausgeschichte fast nur in den Briefen des Amanuensis Eckhart präsent ist, kündigt sich eine wesentliche Vorleistung dazu an: die Quellenedition "Scriptores rerum Brunsvicensium", deren Konkretisierung den Band hindurch zu verfolgen ist. Hemmend auf den Austausch in der Gelehrtenrepublik dürfte sich auch die Tagespolitik ausgewirkt haben, insbesondere die beiden großen europäischen Kriege. Der Spanische Erbfolgekrieg bringt Einschränkungen des Briefverkehrs mit sich; zusammen mit dem (3.) Nordischen Krieg steht er bei Leibniz und vielen Korrespondenten im Zentrum des Interesses. In der ersten Jahreshälfte lässt sich seine Information zum politischen Geschehen minutiös verfolgen anhand der Berichte, die ihm durch eine hannoversche Nachrichtenagentur zukommen – zusammen ...

The first coherent and handy edition with commentaries of one oft he most important sources for history, administration and religious mentalities of the city of Rome in the 4th century A.D.The collection of pictures, lists and short notes, known as the "Chronography of 354" or the "Calendar of Filocalus" is a calendar handbook for the year 354 C.E. Of the thirteen texts, four are Christian documents; the remaining are witnesses of Roman administration and provide no clue for Christianity, or at times even attestations to the Roman religiosity of the Republic and the Imperial Time. The handbook contents can be distinguished by whether it has pictures or just text. Given the complexity of the present form of its constituents, the calendar handbook is an important source for the politic administrative history of the late-Constantine time, for the history of the transformation of religious mentalities, and for the success of the story of Christianity in the city of Rome. The following texts are especially noteworthy:
(1) The consular fasti from the beginning of the consulate up to the year 354 CE, for the Roman History and the families that dominated it;
(2) the yearly calendar for those festivals celebrated in late-Constantine time with their political and religio-historical dimension, which influenced the history of everyday life of the city;
(3) the Catalogus Liberianus, the oldest Roman book of the popes, which together with the lists of the Deposito episcoporum and the Deposito martyrum, the oldest feriale of any Christian Church, is important for the Church of Rome and its conception of history.
Notwithstanding a century-long history of editions and commentaries of the calendar handbook, there is up to the present no connected edition and commentary of the pertinent texts, only critical editions of individual parts. This is related to the complex tradition process and the preserved late manuscripts of the 16th and the 17th Century. This poses a range of problems, which this edition and its commentaries tackle:
(a) what all was part of the original calendar
(b) when did the different texts and their redactions, which lead to the expansions, come into being
(c) the perennial research problem of the relationship between the traditional Roman religion and Christianity, for which the texts of the chronographs provide crucial evidence
(d) the position of the calendar handbook in the history of book illustration in Late Antiquity.
Furthermore, since Mommsen's classical edition, a host of individual problems have been identified, which affect very different scientific endeavours, ranging from the studies of classical antiquities to theology and from cultural sciences to astronomy.
