Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio:Aetas lapidea" differant

"Aetas lapidis" in 1 vel 2 paginis tantum exstat.

"Aetas lithica" non reperio (sed "neolithica" et "palaeolithica" saepe).

:Probe dicis, amice. I invented the phrase (and parallel ones) as a stopgap, and if attestations turn up, then of course the title & lemma should be changed. The modern-language term is old enough that some academic article or doctoral dissertation somewhere may have a Latin version of it. ¶ I've checked on Google and found three seeming attestations, but they aren't genuine. The one in Harkness 1898 is an accident that occurs because the words ''aetas'' and ''lapidis'' stand in adjacent paradigms on the same page. The one in Pelliccia 1838—''Ex duabus itaque hisce notis liquido patet aetas lapidis, qui procul dubio saeculo IV. recentior est''—is a false attestation, as the author is talking about particular (Christian!) stones, and by ''aetas lapidis'' he means 'the age of the stone', rather than 'the Stone Age'. Identically the one in von Gaertringen 1903. At least ''Aetas Lapidaria'' doesn't permit of this ambiguity. ¶ I wonder about ''aevum lapidis/lapidarium'' but don't find attestations.

:::::::Yes, according to Cassell's, ''aeneus, argenteus,'' and ''aureus'' had figurative senses in the Classical period, but ''lapideus'' did not. (Their basic sense remains 'made [physically] of a designated metal'.) Still, in view of the obvious parallelism among these terms and the modern attestations of ''Aetas Lapidea,'' the title should probably be changed, so I'll do it now.

::::::::Aetas saxea, from Morg., Ov. M. 1, 89. Nescio an saxea melius quam lapidea est, sed videtur esse fons classica. --[[Usor:Rafaelgarcia|Rafaelgarcia]] 13:23, 27 Maii 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::Probe dicis. Ego erravi. Morgan sic scripsit "aetas saxea (cf. aetas aurea, Ov. M. 1, 89) ". Ergo solum est opinio eius. --[[Usor:Rafaelgarcia|Rafaelgarcia]] 14:32, 27 Maii 2009 (UTC)
