Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Peter Riedlbergerâs award-winning thesis offers an exhaustive commentary on the 8th and last book of the Iohannis. This poem intrigues its readers one more than one account: Using the well-established form of Latin epic, it offers a fascinating window into the world of reconquered Roman Africa ca. 550 A. D. On one level, the commentary tries to elucidate the numerous allusions to contemporary events, persons and realia; on another level, it firmly sets the poem in the Latin epic tradition, distinguishing clearly between poetical conventions and descriptions of real-life facts. The 8th book includes an elaborate Byzantine field mass; hence the commentaryâs characterisation as âliturgicalâ. In addition to the commentary, this book comprises a critical edition of the 8th book (which differs considerably from the current standard edition) , the first-ever German translation and a comprehensive introduction, which (inter alia) establishes the true name of the author (Gorippus, not Corippus) and challenges the current notion of the function and role of late antique panegyrics. Strong points include the bookâs high readability, its many illustrations (which include useful maps and several reproductions from the codex unicus which are used habitually to prove deviant readings) and its modern layout, which distributes the poemâs text and translation over the commentary, rather than forcing the reader to use two bookmarks. The book comes with comprehensive indices.; 503 pages; Text in German.…

Befaßt sich der Band I mit den Strukturen im Sinne von Staatsreich, Religion, Heerwesen, Verwaltung der Provinzen, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft in Rom und den Provinzen, so widmet sich der Band II den Regionen des Reiches. …
