La clemenza occupa uno spazio significativo tra i Wertbegriffe caratterizzanti l’ideologia liviana. In questo volume le viene riservata un’analisi ad ampio spettro, al fine di rilevarne il grado di incidenza e il profilo di distribuzione nelle Storie. La clemenza è sollecitata, esercitata o negata all’interno di diversi ambiti, tutti connotati da una relazione non paritaria tra coloro che decidono o meno di esercitarla e coloro che eventualmente ne beneficiano: l’ambito familiare, a livello del rapporto padre-figlio, l’ambito giudiziario e quello militare. La concezione che emerge è tutt’altro che monolitica, ma si evolve attraverso le decadi e presuppone vari personaggi e situazioni. In tal senso, la clemenza costituisce un ingrediente importante per sedare contrasti a livello politico-diplomatico, nonché una strategia per ottenere il consenso dei vinti. Un’attenzione particolare è stata infine dedicata alla temperie politica e culturale coeva a Livio, per indagare l’impatto che essa può aver esercitato sulla sua percezione della clemenza. Questo libro si rivolge a quanti sono interessati alle Storie liviane e, più nello specifico, al ruolo che la clemenza svolge all’interno dell’ideologia politico-morale ad esse sottesa.

The Global Latin II Conference has highlighted the role of the Latin language as cultural medium between West and East. Adopting a diachronic perspective which spans from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age, the conference and its proceedings have paid special attention to texts related to Africa and Asia. The richness of literary genres as well as the dialogue between the Humanities and hard sciences characterize this volume. Students of Classics will find reflections on the role of Latin in the humanistic and missionary traditions, whereas historians of ideas and historians of religions will be able to pinpoint key moments in the use of Latin language and culture in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Ethiopian contexts. This volume can also be of interest to people working on Digital Humanities and computational linguistics in Latin language, and it represents a novelty on the world scene, along the lines of the previous Global Latin I Conference, which was yet again held in Siena in 2019.

“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it.” Can a book really be dangerous? To take literally these words of Captain Beatty of Fahrenheit 451 one would say yes. Of course, even in this case, it is not the object book in and by itself to be regarded as dangerous, but its content. Yet in what terms is dangerousness to be conceived? Dangerous for whom? Dangerous when? Dangerous where? Dangerous why? It is sufficient to look for a general single answer to each of these questions to understand that the possible dangerousness of any one book involves several factors, starting with author(s) and recipient(s), time and place of the diffusion of a book, socio-political and religious constrictions. The papers of this volume throw further light on the dangers provoked by books as well as to the reactions to these dangers by focusing on Latin texts from antiquity to the Modern Age. Taken together, they broaden horizons by going beyond official notions of canons, expurgation, and book-burning, and leaving considerations of the notion of danger and the use of the Latin language as the only necessary criteria.
