Introduction Digital databases and libraries have for the last 20 years become ubiquitous tools in the philological study of ancient texts. While these databases provide easy access to texts, critical information is often lacking. One example of that is information regarding conjectures and conjectural emendations in the texts. A number of projects in recent years have aimed to collect conjectures in a digital format and present them online, but none have so far been aimed at Ancient Greek philology. To further develop this area of research it is the aim of this thesis to illustrate how conjectures on Ancient Greek literature can be collected and presented in a digital context to fulfil the information needs of philologists. Method Semi structured interviews were conducted with philologists at Uppsala University, University of Oslo and Oxford University. The interviews were tape recorded and the transcripts of the interviews formed the data for analysis. Analysis Qualitative analyses were carried out on the data. To analyse the information needs of the philologists, theoretical approaches found in hermeneutics and information scientific research on the interaction of library professionals and philologists were used. Results It was found that the information needs of philologists varied depending on their professional orientations, e.g. if they were focused on textual criticism, reception studies, ancient or medieval philology. In the interviews it became clear that the use of digital tools varied somewhat between the philologists. The interviews also showed that there are a number of active projects aimed at producing digital critical editions. University and other research libraries are generally where information on proposed conjectures can be found. Conclusion Generally the philologists expressed a need for easier access to the reasonings behind conjectures. Searching for such information is time consuming because it has not been recorded with the same scholarly rigor as other kinds of information. The establishment and online publication of bibliographic records is a first step to amend this need. Current open-source projects aimed at producing digital critical editions can form the basis for further developments in the field. Since research libraries are where information on conjectures can be found, they play an important role in making this information accessible. Further interaction between philology scholars and library professionals is encouraged in order to identify where information can be found and how it can be digitized and made accessible. This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

This thesis examines a specific type of instance that bridges the divide between seeing sacred texts as merely vehicles for content and as objects themselves: self-reference. Doing so yielded a heuristic system of categories of self-reference in sacred texts based on the way the text self-describes: Inlibration, Necessity, and Untranslatability. I provide examples of these self-referential features as found in various sacred texts: the Vedas, Āgamas, Papyrus of Ani, Torah, Quran, Sri Guru Granth Sahib, and the Book of Mormon. I then examine how different theories of sacredness interact with them. What do Durkheim, Otto, Freud, or Levinas say about these? How are their theories changed when confronted with sacred texts as objects as well as containers for content? I conclude by asserting that these self-referential features can be seen as ‘self-sacralizing’ in that they: match understandings of sacredness, speak for themselves, and do not occur in mundane texts.

L’elaborato analizza e ricostruisce la storia del testo del brano neotestamentario di Mt 27,51b-53. Il breve componimento, di natura innodica, assume particolare rilievo per la sua collocazione all’interno del racconto della passione, cuore dell’annuncio evangelico. Attraverso l’applicazione di una metodologia che tenga conto delle peculiarità di origine, redazione e trasmissione della letteratura protocristiana, il passo in questione è assunto come caso di studio per una rivalutazione, nella constitutio textus del Nuovo Testamento, della c.d. tradizione indiretta, non sempre adeguatamente valutata dalla filologia tradizionale. Il lavoro è strutturato in due macro-sezioni: la prima, filologica, volta a far emergere, attraverso l’analisi delle citazioni indirette, la forma testuale più antica. Particolare attenzione è rivolta all’espressione «dopo la sua risurrezione», non presente nella fase primitiva del testo. La seconda sezione, storico-teologica, analizza il contesto di formazione e utilizzo della pericope, avallando l’ipotesi di un’origine innodica del brano. Esso sarebbe stato un materiale liturgico precedente, forse giudeo-cristiano, a disposizione della comunità e fatto qui confluire dal redattore del Vangelo per celebrare il sacrificio di Gesù. Vengono, infine, indagate le motivazioni teologiche che potrebbero aver contribuito, tra il III e il IV secolo, alla modifica del dettato testuale più antico. / The thesis aims to reconstruct the history of the text of Matt 27:51b-53. This brief composition, probably a hymn, is particularly relevant for its arrangement in the passion narrative, which is the most important point of the Gospel’s kerygma. By applying a methodology that takes into consideration the peculiarity of the origin, the redaction, and the transmission of the earliest Christian literature, these verses are assumed as a study case, in order to value the indirect tradition in the reconstruction of the text of the New Testament. The work is divided into two parts: the first one, philological, brings out, through the indirect quotations, the earliest form of the text, which is partly different from the canonical one. Here, the sentence «after his resurrection» is relevant because it was not present in the primitive text. The second section analyses the context and the employment of the Matthean pericope in order to confirm the hypothesis of the hymn. It might have been a liturgical material, perhaps Jewish-Christian, used by the community and added to the Gospel by the redactor. Finally, this study takes into account the theological reasons that could have caused, within the third and fourth centuries, the modification of the earliest text.

La Ruah YHWH joue un rôle important dans la transformation créative de l’univers et des entités actuelles; cependant, une réflexion concernant les modalités de ce rôle reste à développer. La théologie processuelle offre une plateforme à partir de laquelle sont examinées diverses facettes des rôles que peut jouer la Ruah YHWH dans un monde où le chaos semble dominer. L’objectif de ce mémoire est justement d’explorer la Ruah YHWH dans son rôle de transformation créative au service, ultimement de l’ordre, de la paix et de l’harmonie dans le monde, les communautés, la vie des entités actuelles, etc. Le Chapitre 1 passe en revue des notions clés de la théologie processuelle. Le concept des “entités actuelles” est d’abord défini. Sont ensuite examinées les différentes phases du devenir d’une entité actuelle. Finalement, les concepts de “créativité” et de “transformation”, dans une perspective de la Ruah YHWH font l’objet d’observations attentives avant d’aborder « trois natures » de Dieu, à savoir primordiale, conséquente, et superjective. Le Chapitre 2 s’intéresse à la péricope centrale de ce mémoire : Juges 13:24-14:20. Le découpage de la structure de cette péricope est basé sur des critères de critique textuelle et d’analyse syntaxique. La première analyse s’attarde aux difficultés que le texte hébreu présente, alors que la deuxième met l’accent sur l’organisation structurelle des propositions grammaticales des versets. Les deux analyses me permettent ensuite de proposer une traduction du péricope. Le Chapitre 3 se veut une application de ce qui a été élaboré au Chapitre 1 sur la péricope analysée au Chapitre 2. Ce troisième chapitre permet de mettre en pratique une approche processuelle originale développée par Robert David dans son livre Déli_l’ ÉCRITURE. Dans la foulée des chapitres qui le précèdent, le Chapitre 4 propose quelques principes herméneutiques contemporains pouvant éclairer le rôle de la Ruah YHWH dans l’avancée créative du monde : vie, amour, et paix. / The Ruah YHWH plays a key role in the creative transformation of both the universe and actual entities; however, that role has still to be developed. Process theology, of which I shall endeavour to define some important notions in Chapter 1, offers a platform I shall attempt to build upon in order to examine such an important role in a chaotic world. The aim of this dissertation is to explore the Ruah YHWH in Her role of creative transformation, which I argue to ultimately be that of bringing order, peace, and harmony in the world, communities, the life of actual entities, etc. Chapter 1 is an overview of some key notions of process theology: first, the concept of “actual entities” is defined. Secondly, I examine the phases of concrescence in the becoming of an actual entity. And finally, I look at the concepts of creativity and transformation in the perspective of the Ruah YHWH prior to examining the “three natures” of God, primordial, consequent, and superjective. Chapter 2 defines the pericope of this dissertation: Judges 13:24-14:20. The structure of the pericope is based upon the methods of textual criticism and syntactical analysis. While the first examination deals with some difficulties the original Hebrew text presents, the second deals with the structural organization of the verses grammatical propositions. The two examinations allow me to propose a translation of the pericope. Chapter 3 is an application of what was laid out in Chapter 1 on the pericope established in Chapter 2. In the course of the third chapter, I employ an innovative (original) processual approach developed by Robert David in his recent book Déli_ l’ÉCRITURE. Then, Chapter 4 proposes, out of the preceding chapters, some contemporary hermeneutical principles which enlighten the role of the Ruah YHWH in the creative transformation of the world: life, love, and peace.

The aim of this study is to develop a more effective translation technique analysis of the Peshitta to Ezekiel text that would contribute to the textual studies of Ezekiel. In order to help provide such an effective analysis on translation technique, the methodology employed is the comparative analysis of texts, which incorporates the theory from Cognitive Semantics called Frame Semantics. This theory views units of meaning in text or speech contexts at the level of semantic frames and is therefore most ideal in view of the idiomatic nature of the Peshitta translation. By applying this theory, the frames in the Hebrew source text of the translator were compared to those in the translator’s target Syriac text, to see whether there were correspondences between the two frames. In chapter 3, the GIVING frames evoked by נתן (nātan) were studied and it was found that most of the frames in the Hebrew text corresponded well with those in the Syriac target text. The exception is mainly those frames in which there might have been textual difficulties in the source text. Similar observations were made in chapter 4 for the ARRIVING frames evoked by the Hebrew verb בוא (bō). However, nouns associated with the frame MISDEEDS presented some problems, mainly as to their use in the Hebrew source text. The use of these nouns could have affected the translator’s understanding of such categories, leading to their inconsistent representation in the target text. Nevertheless, it can be indicated that the translator demonstrated a relatively good understanding of the use of the nouns in the Hebrew text. Overall, the translation of the Peshitta to Ezekiel was made at the approximate level of semantic frames, displaying a translation technique that should be very useful for the textual studies of the Book of Ezekiel. / PhD (Semitic Languages), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Since early times, human being felt the need of naming things, people and places, in order to organize, control and recreate the world around him. For that to happen, he resorts to the lexicon, through which develops a linguistic system, culminating in the production of a tangle of words that are common to each language. Thus, this study has as its aim determine the influence of a dominant religious ideology in choosing anthroponyms in the parish of St. Christopher, the oldest in the state of Sergipe, in the period 1883-1910. In order to do that, we used the books of registries of baptism are in the Church of Our Lady of Victory. Our methodology is the description and analysis of a considerable amount of manuscripts, showing, in the anthroponyms in question, that the choice of the individual's name is associated with some religious nature of the event, as the day of a saint's birth or by in search of divine protection. The theoretical and methodological foundations that support this research relate, first, the documentary analysis, the philological bias of textual criticism, in concepts covered by Berwanger and Leal (2008) Cambraia (2005), Samara (2005), Acioli (1994), Blanco (1987), Spina (1970), seeking assistance in other sciences, such as paleography, to carry out the semidiplomatic edition, in order to reconstruct the manuscripts by survey and categorization of names, easy to read and the understanding of the content. On the other hand, research permeates the field of Onomasiology, clarifying the association that man makes between words and things, using for this purpose, the teachings of Bakhtin (2006), Carvalhinhos (2007; 2008), Fiorin (2007), Martins (1991), Dick (1997; 1998), Bourdieu (1989; 2004), Guérios (1981), which to help you understand how they processed the appointment in the parish of Saint Kitts between the colonial and imperial periods, taking into account the historical facts revealed in the analyzed corpus, demonstrating the ideology of the Catholic Church as a power structure that strongly influenced, dictating and controlling thoughts and actions of people in the captaincy of Sergipe Del Rey. / Desde cedo, o homem sentiu necessidade de atribuir nomes às coisas, às pessoas e aos lugares, para organizar, controlar e recriar o mundo ao seu redor. Para que isso aconteça, ele recorre ao léxico, através do qual, desenvolve o seu sistema linguístico, culminando na produção de um emaranhado de vocábulos que são comuns a cada língua. Dessa maneira, este estudo visa reconhecer a influência de uma ideologia religiosa dominante na escolha dos antropônimos na freguesia de São Cristóvão, a mais antiga do Estado de Sergipe, no período compreendido de 1883 a 1910. Para tanto, foram utilizados os livros de batizados que estão no arquivo da Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora da Vitória. A metodologia se configura na descrição e análise de uma quantidade considerável de manuscritos, demonstrando nos antropônimos em apreço que a escolha do nome do indivíduo está associada a algum evento de cunho religioso, seja pelo santo do dia do seu nascimento, seja por um pedido de proteção. Os fundamentos teórico-metodológicos que embasam esta pesquisa prendem-se, por um lado, à análise documental, pelo viés filológico da crítica textual, em conceitos abordados por Berwanger e Leal (2008), Cambraia (2005), Samara (2005), Acioli (1994), Blanco (1987), Spina (1970), buscando auxílio em outras ciências, como a paleografia, para a realização da Edição Semidiplomática, no intuito de reconstituir os manuscritos, mediante levantamento e categorização dos nomes, facilitando a leitura e a compreensão do conteúdo. Por outro lado, a investigação permeia o campo da Onomasiologia esclarecendo a associação que o homem faz entre as palavras e as coisas, recorrendo, para tanto, aos ensinamentos de Bakhtin (2006), Carvalhinhos (2007; 2008), Fiorin (2007), Martins (1991), Dick (1997; 1998), Bourdieu (1989, 2004), Guérios (1981), que ajudam a compreender a forma como se processou a nomeação na freguesia de São Cristóvão entre os períodos colonial e imperial, levando-se em consideração os fatos históricos revelados no corpus analisado, demonstrando a ideologia da Igreja Católica, como uma estrutura de poder que exerceu forte influência, ditando regras e controlando pensamentos e ações das pessoas na Capitania de Sergipe Del Rey.

Abstract Literary criticism lost its connection with textual criticism as formalist theories gained ground after the 1950s. The formalist conceptions of the autonomy of the literary work, however, have been subsequently questioned while the relationship between literary and textual criticism has remained distant. The present study searches for the historical reasons for this, and with the help of literary philosophy strives to revive the vanished relationship by demonstrating the essential signification of textual criticism to literary criticism. In the Anglo-American context the literary critics’ disinterest in textual criticism has been explained away as a vestige of New Critical literary theory. The present study brings a new interdisciplinary viewpoint to this discussion by showing that Analytic Aesthetics has had a central role in maintaining the separation of textual criticism and literary criticism. By examining prominent theories of the ontology of the literary work the study reveals a tradition of a monolithic conception of the literary work within Analytic Aesthetics that considers the literary work to have only one stable text. In this tradition different phenomena of textual variation are marginalised as inessential to the identity of the work. By the same token, textual criticism is cast out from the field of literary criticism as being aesthetically insignificant. The study criticises the monolithic tradition for its historically limited conception of the work, one that is grounded in the invention of print and the modern conception of the author. This conception does not take into account the historically and constantly changing media of production, recording and transmitting that affects the relationship between the concepts of work and text. The monolithic conception is wholly unsuitable for the thinking of the works of oral literature, medieval manuscript culture and contemporary hypertexts. Neither does it work well with printed literature. This study demonstrates how this conception of the work supports a blind faith approach to the stability of the printed text that gives a completely false impression of the historical nature of the literary work. According to this study literary criticism should be based on an aesthetic of suspicion that approaches every text with a critical attitude. The literary critic should examine the history of textual transmission of the work under study and only then determine and justify from the viewpoint of the given research frame the selection of which text versions the work’s interpretation is based on. By examining unpublished as well as published versions of Aaro Hellaakoski’s Me kaksi, the present study demonstrates in practice how taking textual variation into account produces interpretations of the work that would not otherwise be possible when working only with a single text version. / Tiivistelmä Kirjallisuudentutkimus kadotti yhteyden tekstikritiikkiin formalististen teorioiden yleistyessä 1950-luvun jälkeen. Sittemmin formalistiset käsitykset teoksen historiattomuudesta ja autonomisuudesta on kyseenalaistettu, mutta suhde tekstikritiikkiin on jäänyt etäiseksi. Käsillä olevassa tutkimuksessa etsitään historiallisia syitä tähän ja pyritään elvyttämään näiden tutkimusalojen vuorovaikutusta osoittamalla kirjallisuuden filosofian keinoin tekstikritiikin olennainen merkitys kirjallisuudentutkimukselle. Angloamerikkalaisessa kontekstissa kirjallisuudentutkijoiden välinpitämättömyyden tekstikritiikkiä kohtaan on selitetty periytyvän uuskriittisestä kirjallisuusteoriasta. Tämä tutkimus tuo keskusteluun uuden poikkitieteellisen näkökulman osoittamalla, että analyyttinen estetiikka on ollut keskeinen tekijä tekstikritiikin ja kirjallisuudentutkimuksen välisen erottelun ylläpitämisessä. Tarkastelemalla keskeisiä kirjallisen teoksen ontologian teorioita tutkimus paljastaa analyyttisessa estetiikassa vallitsevan monoliittisen teoskäsityksen tradition, jossa teoksella ajatellaan olevan vain yksi muuttumaton teksti. Tässä traditiossa erilaiset tekstuaalisen variaation ilmiöt marginalisoidaan teoksen identiteetin kannalta epäolennaisina. Samalla tekstikriittinen tutkimus rajataan pois kirjallisuudentutkimuksen alueelta esteettisesti merkityksettömänä. Tutkimus kritisoi monoliittisen tradition historiallisesti rajoittunutta teoskäsitystä, joka pohjautuu kirjapainotekniikkaan ja moderniin tekijäkäsitykseen. Tämä teoskäsitys ei huomioi teoksen historiallisesti muuttuvien tuottamisen, tallentamisen ja välittämisen välineiden vaikutusta teoksen ja tekstin suhteeseen. Monoliittinen teoskäsitys ei sovellu esimerkiksi suullisen runouden, keskiajan käsikirjoituskulttuurin tai nykyajan hypertekstien tekstuaalisuuden ajattelemiseen, muttei myöskään painetun kirjallisuuden tekstuaalisuuteen. Tutkimus osoittaa, miten tämä teoskäsitys ylläpitää sokeaa luottamusta painettuun tekstiin, joka antaa virheellisen kuvan kirjallisen teoksen historiallisesta luonteesta. Tutkimuksen mukaan kirjallisuudentutkimuksen tulisi perustua epäilyksen estetiikkaan, jossa jokaiseen tekstiin suhtaudutaan kriittisesti. Kirjallisuudentutkijan olisi selvitettävä tutkimansa teoksen tekstuaalisen transmission historia sekä määritettävä ja perusteltava tutkimusongelmansa näkökulmasta mihin teoksen tekstiversioihin hän perustaa tulkintansa. Tarkastelemalla Aaro Hellaakosken Me kaksi -runoelman julkaisemattomia ja julkaistuja versioita tutkimuksessa osoitetaan käytännössä, miten tekstuaalisen variaation huomioiminen tuottaa tulkintoja teoksesta, jotka eivät olisi mahdollisia yksittäisen tekstiversion pohjalta.
