The newly-founded capital of Alexandria was a vital medium for the Ptolemies to project their power and prestige toward the rival Hellenistic monarchies, though the process of its formation and the nature of the monument errected in the city are still to be ellucidated. In this paper the author reexmines the evidence concerning the three prominent monuments of Alexandira, sema, lighthouse, and library, in order to put them in their proper historical context. These monuments testify the pivotal role of the city in the advent of the new social order of the Hellenistic period.

A lot of “Meisho-Zue”, a kind of gazetteer depicting and describing a specific area with comprehensive perspective, were published since the second half of the 18th century. They include detailed information of religion, people, history and nature with attached pictures. This paper aims that each gazetteer can be valuable material to understand history of environment in each area covered by the gazetteer. Two gazetteers, “Owari-Meisho-Zue” (completed in 1841) and “Choshu-Zasshi” (edited in the middle of 18th century), are analyzed to survey the history of human relations with nature and environment in Owari province. Through this analysis, the paper explores how Japanese social system copes with series of natural disasters in the 19th century.

Virgil is the most important classical author for the creation of Dante’s Divine Comedy. The present paper discusses how this ancient poet is treated in the poem and why the Comedy can be regarded as an epic rather than a “commedia”, which was the original title of the work and probably means a story with a happy ending. Although Virgil is paid the deepest respect as Dante’s master and guide in the Comedy, his limitations are repeatedly shown mainly in theological matters. In particular he lacks in deep understanding of human sin and Christian salvation, so that he is to disappear before Beatrice who can fully purify Dante’s soul and lead him through the paradise. In respect of natural virtues and human intellectual power, however, he is so excellent that his guidance through the underworld, successfully finished, represents a fortunate union of the classical humanism and the medieval Christianity. But there is another aspect of Virgil: the great spirit who stands for Limbo. In Dante’s hell this special place contains, besides the traditional residents of pious Jews before Christ and unbaptized children, the various pagan poets and philosophers who, despite their outstanding human achievements and their being innocent except for original sin, will not be given divine grace for ever. Why cannot those best pagans be saved? The question is put in Paradiso but remains mysteriously unanswered. Thus Dante casts a doubt on the Christian doctrine, while depicting the supreme bliss of his alter ego elevated to the vision of God. It is because of this unprejudiced view of human conditions that the Comedy should be ranked along with classical epic poetry and still has great spiritual value for us today.
