    Historiography and Biography

    watermark CHAPTER 14 Historiography and Biography Antonis Tsakmakis 1. 1.1. Historiography The Heritage of Ionia “History is like the weather”, writes Beat Näf (2010, 9). It owes its existence to the flow of time – to changes between various moments in time; but there can be no such notion as “history” (or “weather”), unless somebody perceives the changes and develops an interest in them. Historical writing aims at offering insights into the past, in order to make it meaningful for a community of people. In classical antiquity the past “was not interesting in and of itself …, their culture did not comprise a widespread, broad, and comprehensive interest in history as such” (Raaflaub 2012, 15). While “[w]e live in a civilization that too often either ignores the past, or takes it for granted” (Tucker 2009, 6), the term historia was used by Herodotus (Proem) to denote “knowledge derived from enquiry” – to satisfy a desire to learn more, both about the past and the world around us. Long before the Greeks wrote about the past (and the present), the Ancient Near East knew written presentations of “recent events from immediately accessible sources which aimed to offer accountability and memorialize the events for future generations,” as well as accounts

    Introduction

    Abstract

    The papers gathered in this Special Issue cover different phases of ancient, medieval, and modern Greek and Latin and explore an array of issues and trends dealing with historical aspects of Greek and Latin lexicography. The articles have been organized into three thematic units following chronological order: (i) ancient Greek and Latin lexicography; (ii) Greco-Latin lexicography in late antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern world; and (iii) uses, perspectives, and ongoing projects in Greco-Latin lexicography. Some papers address more formal issues (linguistic, morphological, semantic, and syntactic) relevant to the study of Greek and Latin lexicography, while other contributions deal with ongoing lexicographical projects, offering fresh perspectives on the future of lexicography.
