This is a piece of careful scholarship as well as of pietas. |
This genre bears an obvious resemblance to notions of pietas, which themselves constitute a utopian community situated in a past so idealized that it is almost fictional. |
Later emperors carried it further and in the second century AD empresses such as Sabina were depicted as embodying, for example, pietas. |
On the transpersonal level, it shapes the attitude and behavior of the hasid, 28 i.e. pious dutifulness, humble devotion and pietas. |
From about 1500, however, the chief force in English humanism was the concept of pietas literata, or evangelical humanism, associated with Erasmus. |
Pietas has the religious note which the other words lack, loving dutifulness to gods and home and country. |
