More of the Same? D’Holbach and the Temptation of Self-Quotation by Ruggero Sciuto

“…As I shall argue in this essay, however, d’Holbach’s somewhat formulaic prose and tendency to repeat himself are counterbalanced by a parallel striving for varietas: while repeating his ideas time and again within each work and across his textual corpus, d’Holbach is careful never to self-quote verbatim and always to find a perfect balance between same and new, as it were. Politically and philosophically an extremely radical author, d’Holbach took all possible measures to conceal his authorship of his texts, publishing them all either anonymously or pseudonymously. …”

Saintes/Mediolanum, cité des Santons et Bordeaux/Burdigala, cité des Bituriges Vivisques : destins croisés by Louis Maurin, Alain Bouet, Eneko Hiriart, Guilhem Landreau, Christophe Sireix, Dominique Tardy

“…Bordeaux originated around 600 BC as a trading-post on the left bank of the Gironde; Mediolanum perhaps originated, and this before the Gallic War, in the movement to the left bank of the Charente of the oppidum of the Santones, until then doubtless situated at Pons. This people figures amongst the great losers from the Caesarian conquest; the extent of their territory was reduced in the south and –as seems to be very probable– the Romans created next to them a new power, that of the Bituriges Vivisci, uprooted from the Berry and transferred to the estuary; the little emporium of Bordeaux was their capital. …”
