Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Dworacki, SylwesterAll that was non-Greek, strange, and exotic regarding people and their environment was also always a point of interest in Greek literature. That interest got a new stimulus in the Hellenistic times, and was still vivid at the end of Antiquity, and in the novel, as well. As an example we may mention the Ethiopian Story of Heliodorus, and his novel is the main point of interest of this article. I discuss in it some characteristic places, that show the non-Greek world, its variety and peculiarities. They refer to the nature and its phenomena, to the world of plants and animals, and to the customs of various nations, mostly from the area of Egypt, and Ethiopia. In conclusion, I pay attention to the superiority of Greek world in Heliodorus’ novel in comparison with non-Greek.Item Cyceron – nauczyciel śląskiej młodzieŜy. Dydaktyzm w retoryce, czyli o wykorzystaniu retoryki cycerońskiej na przykładzie śląskich gimnazjów humanistycznych od XVI do XVIII w.(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Gaj, BeataThe article contains a description of the Ciceronian rhetoric didactics in the Silesian humanistic gymnasia from the 16th to the 18th century. In her article, the author intends to analyze how the educators of the old Silesia cultivated the ancient Ciceronian tradition of eloquence.

This and other issues from the area of rhetoric and didactics, on the example of Cicero's works and their reception in Silesia, are the concerns of this paper.Item Mikołaj Radziwiłł Rudy – bohater pozytywny w eposie Jana Radwana „Radivilias”(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) MalinowskaThis study concerns an epic poem entitled Radivilias (Vilnius 1592) by Jan Radwan, the subject of which is the Livonian War regarded as the greatest military exploit of Mikołaj Radziwiłł the Red.

Zitate aus den Werken des Ovid in einem Emblembuch aus dem 17. Jahrhundert(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Milewska-Waźbińska, BarbaraThe aim of this paper is to emphasise the fact that quotations from Ovid’s Ars amatoria or Remedia amoris are often used in seventeenth-century emblem books to confirm moral truths. Quotations from Ovid’s works play an important role in Jacob Cats’ Silenus Alcibiadis. A detailed analysis will cover emblematic subscriptiones that include quotations from or clear references to Ovid’s works as an important construction element of the composition of an emblem. It turns out that words of the Roman poet taken from works with a parody note are used in this emblem book with clearly didactic and moralizing aim.Item Antike Frauenschicksale als moralische Lehrstücke in Boccaccio’ „De mulieribus claris“(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im.

This paper analyses the development of Boccaccio’s moral attitude, which is documented by manuscripts representing different stages of Boccaccio’s work on the book.Item Historisches Epos, Lehrgedicht, Epithalamium. Zu den Res Danicae des Cimbricus Erasmus Michaelius Laetus(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Kreuz, GottfriedC.

The paper is an attempt to present the poem of C. Erasmus Michaelius Laetus.Item „Erotodidactica meretricum”.

Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Stróżyński, MateuszAugustine, an excellent rhetor, in some of his texts used his skills not only to convince the reader, but to open him or her to the state of contemplation, of seeing God.

Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Rogowski, JuliuszThis article contains an analysis of the Gratiarum actio of Ausonius and examines the way, in which speaker and former teacher of the Emperor Gratian presents himself. Ausonius is very proud of the position which he achieved and he uses different arguments to make this position clear. He explains all his honors and political career as a result of being tutor to the young Augustus. Gratian is bound to him by obligations of pietas, so that the self-presentation of Ausonius makes no damage to the picture of the Emperor.Item „Vade mecum” – Arnobiańska recepta na Eden(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Kucz, AnnaThe article describes Arnobius, a rhetorician at Sicca Veneria, a pagan who, from fear of the final condemnation, converted to Christianity. An analysis of his work Adversus Nationes indicates that, to him, the secret of eternal happiness lies in immortality, which can only be achieved through care for the salvation of the soul. Rational contemplation of God in the earthly life is a basic prerequisite of that salvation.Item Lingwistyczny dydaktyzm „Nocy attyckich” Aulusa Geliusza(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza, 2009) Wolanin, HubertThe aim of this paper is to examine the didactic value of the Attic Nights from the linguistic point of view, and precisely, from the point of view of Gellius’ teachings on the meanings of words. In this context it has been stated that the author makes his readers aware of new meanings gained by certain words when used in contemporary colloquial idiom, describes and interprets the mechanism which had generated those meanings, evaluates the results of the process of semantic change, and, finally, comments on the way some grammarians assess the usage of certain words in ancient literary texts. In effect, the paper concentrates on the passages where A. Gellius, referring to ancient (archaic and classical) literature, describes the semantic differences occurring in various words, depending on their usage, whether in literary or colloquial language, defines the linguistic mechanism giving rise to colloquial variants of different linguistic items, and presents in a critical light the influence of colloquial language on the way in which interpretation is made of particular words as they occur in literary texts.Item Umrzeć z ciekawości.
