Book Description
Late Antiquity has increasingly been viewed as a period of transformation and dynamic change in its literature as in society and politics. In this volume, thirteen scholars focus on the intellectual and literary culture of the time, investigating complex relationships between late-Antique authors and the texts which they had inherited through the classical ('pagan') and Christian traditions. Particular emphasis is placed on works that carried special authority: Homer, Virgil, Plato, and the Bible. The volume thus contributes to the history of the reception of classical texts, and through its inclusiveness (classical and classicizing, philosophical, and patristic writing are all represented) seeks to offer a view of the textual world of late Antiquity as a unified whole. It affords a scholarly introduction to a sweep of late-Antique literature in Greek and Latin. Authors and genres discussed include Juvencus and Claudian, Plotinus and Proclus, Jerome and John Cassian, geographical and grammatical writing, and Christian cento.

Book Description
Latein war einst die globale Sprache des Westens, wenn sie auch stets in regionalen Manifestationen auftrat. In den hier vorgelegten Bänden wird die immense Bedeutung untersucht, welche die lateinische Tradition für Geschichte und Kultur des deutschsprachigen und des skandinavischen Raumes hatte, und wie andererseits diese auf die lateinische Welt zurückwirkten. Dabei stellen die Autoren in 50 Einzeluntersuchungen die Forschung zur Germania latina auf eine neue Grundlage. Die neuzeitliche Entwicklung der lateinischen Tradition vom ersten Auftreten vulgärsprachlich-nationaler Eigenheiten bis zum heutigen Stand wird detailreich nachgezeichnet: von Ficinos deutschen Korrespondenten bis zum Apothekerlatein, von Melanchthons Wirkung auf slawische Grammatiken bis zu heutiger isländischer Nationalidentität, von deutscher Latinität in Nordamerika bis zu modernen Vertonungen antiker Texte reicht die Spannbreite dieses Unternehmens

Book Description
Gender and Exemplarity in Medieval and Early Modern Spain gathers a series of studies on the interplay between gender, sanctity and exemplarity in regard to literary production in the Iberian peninsula. The first section examines how women were con¬strued as saintly examples through narratives, mostly composed by male writers; the second focuses on the use made of exemplary life-accounts by women writers in order to fashion their own social identity and their role as authors. The volume includes studies on relevant models (Mary Magdalen, Virgin Mary, living saints), means of transmission, sponsorship and agency (reading circles, print, patronage), and female writers (Leonor López de Córdoba, Isabel de Villena, Teresa of Ávila) involved in creating textual exemplars for women. Contributors are: Pablo Acosta-García, Andrew M. Beresford, Jimena Gamba Corradine, Ryan D. Giles, María Morrás, Lesley K. Twomey, Roa Vidal Doval, and Christopher van Ginhoven Rey.
