Il volume di C. De Stefani offre l'edizione critica e commentata di due dei tre frammmenti maggiori del poeta ellenistico Fenice di Colofone (frr. 2-3 Diehl3). Un capitolo è poi dedicato all'altro frammento maggiore (fr. 1 Diehl3) e altri due capitoli ad alcuni frammenti minori. L'autore esamina anche un testo anonimo (l'Anonimo contro l'avidità), ellenistico come Fenice, tramandato dallo stesso papiro che contiene il fr. 1 di Fenice, e un iscrizione di età imperiale. L'elemento comune a tutti questi testi è il metro, cioè il coliambo. Si tratta del primo libro dedicato a Fenice dopo la monografia di A. G. Gerhard (1909). Il volume di De Stefani evita di cercare in ogni modo di inquadrare Fenice nella corrente filosofica cinica, come aveva fatto Gerhard, e offre soprattutto un commento di tipo filologico e di storia della lingua greca. Nel volume sono inoltre trattati vari altri passi di autori, facilmente reperibili tramite gli indici.

New edition of Constantine of Rhodes' description of Sst. Apostles and of his satirical verses. A critical edition with detailed introduction and full indexes.00De Stefani and Strano offer a new edition of these texts, while correcting several corrupted passages. Particularly, the debts of Constantine with his avowed model in the description of the church of Holy Apostles, Paul the Silentiary, have been highlighted and the imitations of Constantine's poems by later Byzantine poets have been registered. In fact Constantine is the scribe (J) of Paul's poems in the famous Pal. Heid. gr. 23. De Stefani in his edition of Silentiary's text pointed out several imitations of Silentiary by Constantine. Further imitations of Silentiary's poem came out in course of the elaboration of this project and are recorded in the fontes. Constantine's poem is wordly quoted by Georgius Cedrenus. This new very important tool would help to better both the text we are editing and the quotations by Cedrenus listed in the fontes. Finally, the apparatus of the fontes will also mention the most patent imitations of the poem of Constantine by later Byzantine poets. The book will be a useful tool for all students of Byzantine literature.

The two poems Descriptio S. Sophiae and Descriptio Ambonis of Paul the Silentiary, composed for the inauguration (562 AD) of the church of St. Sophia (Istanbul) after its partial rebuilding, are an invaluable source for the history of Byzantine arts and a beautiful piece of late Greek poetry. Silentiary's poems respectively describe the church and its (now lost) pulpit. The Descriptio S. Sophiae also contains a lavish praise of emperor Justinian and of the patriarch Eutichius. De Stefani's edition is based on a collation of the witness of the text, Heid. Pal. gr. 23, and takes into account all previous bibliography. Some corrupted passages of the poems have been emendated, the few false readings still present in the text printed by the last, authoritative editor, P. Friedländer (1912), have been corrected.

Nonnus of Panopolis (fifth century CE) composed two poems once thought to be incompatible: the Dionysiaca, a mythological long epic with a marked interest in astrology, the occult, the paradox and not least the beauty of the female body, and a pious and sublime Paraphrase of the Gospel of St John. Little is known about the man, to whom sundry identities have been attached. The longer work has been misrepresented as a degenerate poem or as a mythological handbook. The Christian poem has been neglected or undervalued. Yet, Nonnus accomplished an ambitious plan, in two parts, aiming at representing world-history. This volume consists mainly of the Proceedings of the First International Conference on Nonnus held in Rethymno, Crete in May 2011. With twentyfour essays, an international team of specialists place Nonnus firmly in his time's context. After an authoritative Introduction by Pierre Chuvin, chapters on Nonnus and the literary past, the visual arts, Late Antique paideia, Christianity and his immediate and long-range afterlife (to modern times) offer a wide-ranging and innovative insight into the man and his world. The volume moves on beyond stereotypes to inaugurate a new era of research for Nonnus and Late Antique poetics on the whole.
