ATHENAEUM

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 830 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ATHENAEUM , a name originally applied in ancient
Greece
  ('ABrtvauw) to buildings dedicated to
Athena
 , and specially used as the designation of a temple in Athens, where poets and men of learning were accustomed to meet and read their productions. The
academy
  for the promotion of learning which the emperor Hadrian built (about A.D. 135) at Rome, near the Forum, was also called the Athenaeum. Poets and orators still met and discussed there, but
regular
  courses of instruction were given by a staff of professors in rhetoric, jurisprudence, grammar and philosophy. The institution, later called Schola
Romana
 , continued in high repute till the 5th
century
 . Similar academies were also founded in the provinces and at
Constantinople
  by the emperor Theodosius II. In modern times the name has been applied to various academies, as those of Lyons and
Marseilles
 , and the Dutch high schools; and it has become a very general designation for literary clubs. It is also
familiar
  as the title of several literary
periodicals
 , notably of the London literary weekly founded in 1828.
