	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.04.32
		Mark Beck's chapter, meanwhile, stakes a strong claim for Plutarchan authorship of the one (?pseudo-)Plutarchan text that explicitly addresses Trajan.
		Against the received view, he claims that the dedication to the emperor at the opening of the Apophthegms of the kings and emperors is genuinely Plutarchan.
		This is a convincing defense of a fascinating text, amputated from the corpus only by the text-critical sword-wielding that dominated much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

		But the more extraordinary course is that which one Gualandi took, who published, at Venice, in 1568,{4} in 4to., an _omnium gatherum_, in five books, from various sources, in which there is much taken from Erasmus, and yet the title is _Apoftemmi di Plutarco_.
		In this book, the whole of the twenty-three apophthegms of Erasmus which relate to Demosthenes are given, and two more added at the end.
		It appears that Philelphus, and after him Raphael Regius, had printed, in the fifteenth century, Latin collections under the title of _Plutarch's Apophthegms_, and, according to Erasmus, had both taken liberties with their original.

		The first main section discusses forms which could function in more than one of these three kinds of rhetoric.
		They include analogical and metaphorical texts, simple statements, speeches, chreia and apophthegms and argumentation.

		Would like to hear from anyone with some useful info on this subject.
		Graeme Donald's Dictionary of Modern Phrase acknowledges the gambling possibility, then says : "The expression appears in Nicholas Udall's 1542 translation of Erasmus's Paraphrase of Luke, part of Apophthegms from Erasmus, when the author is discussing the command given to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac.
		Erasmus writes that 'he made no bones about it but went to offer up his son.' It is unlikely that a man like Erasmus would use a gaming expression when discussing such a subject."

		JULIUS CÆSAR did write a collection of apophthegms, as appears in an epistle of Cicero; I need say no more for the worth of a writing of that nature.
		It is pity his book is lost: for I imagine they were collected with judgment and choice; whereas that of Plutarch and Stobæus, and much more the modern ones, draw much of the dregs.

		Illustrative of the second type of question which seeks a longer answer is the anecdote about Aristotle: "When someone inquired why we spend much time with the beautiful, 'That,' he said, 'is a blind man's question'" (Diogenes Laertius 5.20).
		Readers will quickly note that the broad category of "responsive chreia" described by ancient rhetoricians has been further distinguished in the modern classification of "apophthegms" and "pronouncement stories"; see Jan Kindstrand, "Diogenes Laertius and the Chreia Tradition," 221-24.
		Rudolf Bultmann, however, labeled them "apophthegms" ( The History of the Synoptic Tradition, 12-23) with a sub-species of apophthegm called "a controversy story" (39-54).

		Not only is it worth remembering the word ‘apophthegm’ on the off chance that it might come in handy when playing Scrabble but it is also worth noting that apophthegms are terse sayings or maxims and, indeed, are similar to aphorisms.

	LT77 - TWO VIEWS OF HISTORICAL CRITICISM - I. HISTORICAL CRITICISM AS A CRITICAL METHOD
		The two Catholic schools of interpretation agree that "the inspired books teach the truth," but they disagree over the extent of that truth and the manner in which it is conveyed, as well as over what the human authors truly wanted to affirm and what God intended to say to us through their words.
		This discussion revolves largely around the question of the literary genres used by the inspired writers, whether they are the standard genres of history, poetry, prophecy, legal norms, wisdom sayings etc., and their sub-genres, or the special genres of the historical-critical school, such as apophthegms, logia, I-sayings, miracle stories, legends, and midrash.
		The neo-Patristic approach stands within the perennial tradition of Catholic interpretation, taking its inspiration from the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church and seeking to make a fresh start in addressing this important issue through the use of a more fully developed critical and hermeneutical apparatus.

		Whatever Self is trying to say about our obsessive fascination with beauty, and the corrosive power of the establishment, is savage, if not wholly original.
		Some readers may also have a problem with the whiff of homophobia in the depictions of the Eighties gay scene; others may just retch at the characteristic semantic overload - maculate credenzas are swamped by anfractuous apophthegms amid prognathous rodomontade.
		Beneath the attention-grabbing fun and games beats the heart of a perverse bonkbuster.
