2. 1. The neologisms in 2 Maccabees

   Author : Nikolaos Domazakis; Grekiska (antik och bysantinsk); []
   Keywords : 2 Maccabees; neologisms; hapax legomena; Septuagint lexicography; deuterocanonical apocryphal books; Alpha Text of Esther; Polybius;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates a hitherto under-researched topic in Septuagint studies, the Septuagint neologisms, that is, the words which are first attested in the Septuagint, taking as a case in point a deuterocanonical/apocryphal book originally written in Greek, the Second Book of Maccabees (2 Maccabees). The thesis first examines how the neologisms have so far been treated in Septuagint studies and lexicography and proposes a method for their identification based on a thorough search of the electronic databases of ancient Greek literary and non-literary texts rather than of the existing Greek lexica.

6. 4. Nature and Metamorphosis: A Study of Carl Adolph Agardh’s Latin Dissertations and Monographs on Botany and Biology

   Author : Magnus Krook; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Latin;

   Abstract : Carl Adolph Agardh (1785-1859), professor of botany and practical economy at Lund University, published a large corpus of Latin dissertations and monographs on the subjects of plant systematisation and plant physiology which merit a thorough examination both on account of their importance for the then contemporary natural science but also as they in hindsight consitute a corpus of Latin texts from the last period in which Latin was still a viable means of communication in the scientific community. Agardh’s most distinguished contribution to botany and biology is found in his works on algae, their systematisation and their physiology. READ MORE
