Summary It appears that Martin Luther was deeply entrenched in the Latin version of the New Testament while working on his Bible translation into German. This is connected with the tools he used: his dictionaries and his editions of the New Testament. Consequently, his translation shows Latin influence. This article identifies examples of Latin influence on Martin Luther and his translation, also explaining why this influence could have escaped detection. This Latin influence is still of importance: There are still today a few instances where standard translations of the New Testament do not fully adhere to the veritas graeca. It appears that a systematic study of the Latin influence on Martin Luther might have – at least in some instances – the potential to change the understanding of such passages in modern translations and to modify the punctuation of modern editions of the Greek New Testament.

Abstract The use of digital techniques is often applied today by archaeologists in the field to get quick and reliable 3D surveys for their research. 3D models and reconstructions are the focus for the use of these techniques. The aim of this paper is to present the methodology employed during the 2018 season, and its combination with that from 2016 on the private areas of the bishop’s residence of the Episcopal Palace in the ancient city of Side, Turkey. This paper will focus on the data acquisition process, accuracy of the survey, errors and solutions as well as the workflow-process of the data. The aim is to present a useful workflow to combine surveys at a maximum level of accuracy with already completed surveys. A Total Station (TS) survey, Global Positioning System (GPS) Real Time Kinetics (RTK) survey and Structure from Motion (SfM) are among the techniques used to compile the information later exported into a Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. Eventually, viable applications of the data created with such methods that help to formulate a new hypothesis for the ritual and non-ritual areas will be shown: plans, 3D models, digital elevation models (DEM) and orthophotos.

Pour l'A., l'interrogation ethique sur l'homme part de la question kantienne Que dois-je faire?. Le christianisme enseigne un type de conduite qui est fonde sur des exigences ethiques bien precises avec notamment ce commandement de l'amour de tous ses prochains comme des freres. Ainsi, la vie morale ne semble pas facile tant au niveau personnel qu'au niveau societal. L'A. affirme que le code de conduite propose par les societes laiques entraine une vie compartimentee de chaque personne. Il conclut qu'un ethos sans Dieu offre un bonheur toujours precaire
