ESTEVE, PEDRO JAIME, Nicandri Theriaca: traducción latina en verso (1552). Introducción, edición crítica, traducción y notas M.T. Santanmaria Hernández. Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Cuenca, 2018. 191p. Paperback. Nice copy. La Europa renacentista conoció cinco traducciones latinas de los Theriaca de Nicandro de Colofón (s. II a. C.), un poema toxicológico en hexámetros donde el autor griego trataba los ataques de animales venenosos, sus efectos y los remedios válidos para su curación. La relevancia de Nicandro en el Renacimiento fue notable porque era considerado en los círculos de la Medicina humanista el principal representante de la toxicología antigua, y sus obras sobre venenos fueron frecuentemente utilizadas para comentar los libros de materia médica de Dioscórides, y sobre todo los escritos pseudo-dioscorideos sobre venenos. Una de estas traducciones latinas fue realizada en hexámetros por el profesor de Medicina, latinista y helenista Pedro Jaime Esteve, que la publicó en 1552 en Valencia, en las prensas del flamenco Juan Mey. Excepcional representante del humanismo médico español, con su versión de los Theriaca, la primera realizada en verso directamente desde el texto griego, entró de lleno en el selecto grupo de humanistas europeos que latinizaron al poeta de Colofón.

ETHERINGTON, B. and ZIMBLER, J., The Cambridge Companion to World Literature: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2018. 286p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Companions to Literature. The Cambridge Companion to World Literature introduces the significant ideas and practices of world literary studies. It provides a lucid and accessible account of the fundamental issues and concepts in world literature, including the problems of imagining the totality of literature; comparing literary works across histories, cultures and languages; and understanding how literary production is affected by forces such as imperialism and globalization. The essays demonstrate how detailed critical engagements with particular literary texts call forth differing conceptions of world literature, and, conversely, how theories of world literature shape our practices of readings. Subjects covered include cosmopolitanism, transnationalism, internationalism, scale and systems, sociological criticism, translation, scripts, and orality. This book also includes original analyses of genres and forms, ranging from tragedy to the novel and graphic fiction, lyric poetry to the short story and world cinema.
