Sommario/riassunto

This innovative study explores selected odes and epistles by the late-first-century poet Horace in light of modern anthropological and



literary theory. Phebe Lowell Bowditch looks in particular at how the relationship between Horace and his patron Maecenas is reflected in these poems' themes and rhetorical figures.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume contains revised refereed versions of the best papers presented during the CSL '94 conference, held in Kazimierz, Poland in September 1994; CSL '94 is the eighth event in the series of workshops held for the third time as the Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Science Logic. The 38 papers presented were selected from a total of 151 submissions. All important aspects of the methods of mathematical logic in computer science are addressed: lambda calculus, proof theory, finite model theory, logic programming, semantics, category theory, and other logical systems. Together, these papers give a representative snapshot of the area of logical foundations of computer science.
