Claudius Claudianus (ca. 370-404 n. Chr.) galt lange vor allem als panegyrischer Chronist des weströmischen Kaiserhofs ab 395 n. Chr. Auch die wohl nach seinem Tod unter dem Titel Carmina minora gesammelten kürzeren Gedichte lassen den Panegyriker Claudian erkennen, zeigen jedoch gleichzeitig einen Dichter, der besonders anhand der Beschreibung von Naturmirabilia weitere Facetten seines poetischen Programms präsentiert. Dieses Programm zeichnet sich einerseits durch eine intensive intratextuelle Bezogenheit aus, die unterschiedliche Aspekte eines ausgeprägten ars-natura-Diskurses aufzeigt, in dessen Rahmen die Erzeugnisse einer natura artifex vom poeta artifex Claudian ekphrastisch höchst raffiniert inszeniert werden. Andererseits verdeutlichen intertextuelle Bezüge zu zahlreichen griechischen und lateinischen Dichtern die Einbindung einer Tradition, die ergänzt durch typische Gestaltungsmittel spätantiker Dichtung die programmatische Bedeutung der concordia discors offenbart. Genannte Bestandteile des poetischen Programms Claudians betrachtet die vorliegende Publikation anhand detaillierter Textanalysen und leistet so einen wertvollen Beitrag zur weiteren philologischen Erschließung der Carmina minora.

The volume contains the transcription of the reports presented at the International Conference held in Florence on 14th and 15th June 2012: there are 15 original essays, written (upon request) by authoritative scholars of various Italian and foreign universities, on the important contributions made by their papyrus finds over more than a century to the knowledge of the lost works by Aeschylus and Sophocles, as well as on the value of the papyri for the constitution of the text of their preserved tragedies. The essays are equally divided between Aeschylus and Sophocles, and touch on all the major questions which the study of papyrology has raised for the philological and literary research on the two great tragedy writers. Both for the prestige of the authors and for the variety of the topics addressed, the volume offers an interesting and authoritative picture of the 'state of the art' of the studies in this regard, in light of the interrelationships between papyrology and Greek literature.

Stemmatology studies aspects of textual criticism that use genealogical methods to analyse a set of copies of a text whose autograph has been lost. This handbook is the first to cover the entire field, encompassing both theoretical and practical aspects of traditional as well as modern digital methods and their history. As an art (ars), stemmatology's main goal is editing and thus presenting to the reader a historical text in the most satisfactory way. As a more abstract discipline (scientia), it is interested in the general principles of how texts change in the process of being copied. Thirty eight experts from all of the fields involved have joined forces to write this handbook, whose eight chapters cover material aspects of text traditions, the genesis and methods of traditional "Lachmannian" textual criticism and the objections raised against it, as well as modern digital methods used in the field. The two concluding chapters take a closer look at how this approach towards texts and textual criticism has developed in some disciplines of textual scholarship and compare methods used in other fields that deal with "descent with modification". The handbook thus serves as an introduction to this interdisciplinary field.

Most contemporary digital studies are interested in distant-reading paradigms for large-scale literary history. This book asks what happens when such telescopic techniques function as a microscope instead. The first monograph to bring a range of computational methods to bear on a single novel in a sustained fashion, it focuses on the award-winning and genre-bending Cloud Atlas (2004). Published in two very different versions worldwide without anyone taking much notice, David Mitchell's novel is ideal fodder for a textual-genetic publishing history, reflections on micro-tectonic shifts in language by authors who move between genres, and explorations of how we imagine people wrote in bygone eras. Though Close Reading with Computers focuses on but one novel, it has a crucial exemplary function: author Martin Paul Eve demonstrates a set of methods and provides open-source software tools that others can use in their own literary-critical practices. In this way, the project serves as a bridge between users of digital methods and those engaged in more traditional literary-critical endeavors.
