XXXIX, 2012, pp. 13-17.sTitle: CANTEMIRʼS ANNOTATIONES IN THE GROWTH AND DECAYOF THE OTHMAN EMPIREPages: 13-17Language: EnglishURL: https://synthesis.ro/pdf/2012/XXXIX/2_Costa.pdf Abstract Cantemir’s Incrementorum et decrementorum Aulae Othman[n]icae is a twofold writing, not only regarding the explicit component of “growth” and “decay”, but also in a philological manner, as the author provides a huge amount of “annotations”, covering all the possible questions a reader could ask. Answering the virtual questions, they reveal Cantemir as inquisitive as a reader, as he is an erudite author. Keywords: Cantemir; annotations; philology; anecdotes; author.

The idea of knight survives even outside its history, representing a “superior type of humanity’’. “Even if it does not correspond to certain realities from institutions, it expresses though, in the image of a symbol, a specific number of values.” The ideal of chivalry comes down to a total obedience towards special arrangements along the entire life.

Orestes et Alkestis sont écartées comme étrangères à la tragédie parce que, tout en commençant par un malheur, finissent dans le bonheur et dans la joie, ce qui relève plutôt de la comédie.
