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.

The book comes with comprehensive indices.; 503 pages; Text in German.…
