Lucian of Samosata is widely recognized as one of the foremost figures of 2nd-century Greek literature and the broader Second Sophistic movement, despite his distinct individuality among his contemporaries. Unlike many intellectuals of this era, including sophists and writers in general, Lucian has consistently attracted attention from the Middle Ages to the present, passing through the Renaissance and Humanist periods. One recurring issue in the study of his works affecting wider topics such as manuscript tradition, stylistic analysis, and linguistic study is the question of authenticity, that is, whether certain texts attributed to him are genuinely his own or should be deemed spurious. The objective of the nine contributions in this volume is not to solve all the questions related to this subject, but to conduct a detailed examination of some of these works, whether only allegedly or clearly spurious, assessing them on their own merits and at the same time situating them within the broader context of Lucian& x02019;s oeuvre and tradition.

Hace casi dos mil años, cuando Japón todavía no era un país, se creía en el alma de las palabras, el kotodama, que les confería un poder mágico o espiritual. El Kotodama es el hilo conductor de este ensayo ilustrado por el autor con "estampas japonesas" literarias, donde chamanas, sacerdotisas miko, narradoras orales kataribe, damas de compañia nyobo como Sei Shonagon, Izumi Shikibu, Murasaki Shikibu y la dama Sarashina, entre otras, que junto con las vendedoras de canciones y sonrisas asobi y kugutsu, las cantantes de vestido blanco shirabyoshi y las monjas budistas itinerantes goze y bikuni, son las protagonistas y sus voces resuenan en estas paginas. A lo largo del libro, se entrelaza la historia del Japon clasico con mitos, creencias, religion, la vida social y los comportamientos sexuales. Un contexto en el cual las voces femeninas ejerceran su funcion de innovadoras en la cultura del Periodo Heian. Unas, desde la penumbra de sus habitaciones en los palacios y hermosas villas de la capital Heian-kyo, seran las artifices de la evolucion de la oralidad a la literatura. De sus pinceles surgiran las grandiosas obras narrativas del Japon clasico. Otras seran fieles a la oralidad y la lirica, y lejos de la hedonista corte Heian ejerceran en los margenes de los rios y encruci
