Das Etymologicum des Grammatikers Orion (5. Jh.) ist das alteste erhaltene griechische etymologische Lexikon und ein relevanter Text auf dem Gebiet der griechisch-byzantinischen Lexikographie. Orions Text basiert auf alteren, nicht mehr erhaltenen Werken, und ist somit fur uns ein wichtiger Zeuge der vorherigen Gelehrsamkeit. Neben seiner Rolle als Wissensspeicher und -vermittler stellt es zudem selbstverstandlich ein bedeutendes Zeugnis seiner eigenen Zeit dar, und es fungierte als Muster fur die spateren byzantinischen etymologischen Lexika. Trotz dieser Tatsachen ist die Uberlieferung von Orions Etymologicum bisher nur unzulanglich untersucht worden und auch eine kritische Edition des Textes fehlt dementsprechend noch. Diese englischsprachige Arbeit bietet die erste umfassende Untersuchung der Uberlieferungsgeschichte dieses Lexikons unter Berucksichtigung der direkten sowie der wichtigsten indirekten Zeugen.

Estos versos de la versión de 1944 del himno de la URSS sirven de inspiración para el título de este trabajo colectivo en el que se profundiza en la participacion de America Latina en la Guerra Fria cultural. La vision de la URSS como "fortaleza segura de la amistad de los pueblos" fue saludada y publicitada por varias de las personalidades que recorren este texto. Sin embargo, la mirada idealizante tambien fue contravenida por otras tantas, que ofrecieron una vision critica en mayor o menor medida; de ahi que hablemos de "(des)encuentros" entre la literatura latinoamericana y los contextos nacionales de los paises comunistas en Europa. Esta aportacion desea sumarse, por lo tanto, a las recientes y valiosas contribuciones que desde distintas entidades academicas se estan llevando a cabo para analizar las interacciones entre la literatura y los agentes culturales latinoamericanos con el comunismo global y, en particular, con las naciones situadas mas alla del Telon de Acero.
