This book is about the communicative purpose and the audience of the Confessions . It illuminates the degree to which the communicative purpose of the work is to convert its readers, id est a protreptic purpose, and the degree to which the target audience may be identified as Augustine's potential Manichaean readers. A brief survey of possible literary antecedents points to the existence of other works that consist of the same combination of an autobiographical section (a conversion story) with a polemical and exegetical section (an argument that aims to convince the reader of the merits of a specific point of view) that characterizes the Confessions . The book provides a new perspective on the meaning and structure of Augustine's often misunderstood masterpiece.

This work is a complete English translation of the Latin Etymologies of Isidore, Bishop of Seville (c.560-636). Isidore compiled the work between c.615 and the early 630s and it takes the form of an encyclopedia, arranged by subject matter. It contains much lore of the late classical world beginning with the Seven Liberal Arts, including Rhetoric, and touches on thousands of topics ranging from the names of God, the terminology of the Law, the technologies of fabrics, ships and agriculture to the names of cities and rivers, the theatrical arts, and cooking utensils. Isidore provides etymologies for most of the terms he explains, finding in the causes of words the underlying key to their meaning. This book offers a highly readable translation of the twenty books of the Etymologies, one of the most widely known texts for a thousand years from Isidore's time.

Thorsten Fögen behandelt in dieser Studie vorrangig römische Fachtexte des ersten vor- und nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts und nähert sich der Frage nach dem Autorenbewußtsein und der Selbstdarstellung antiker Fachschriftsteller auf zwei Ebenen: Im ersten Teil liegt der Schwerpunkt auf einer synoptischen Diskussion antiker Zeugnisse zu den Charakteristika von Fachtexten und Fachsprachen. Dabei stehen sprachliche Mittel im engeren Sinne im Vordergrund, also lexikalische, morphologische und syntaktische, aber auch pragmatische Phänomene, die antike Autoren mit fachlichen Diskursen assoziieren. Im zweiten Teil folgen exemplarische Untersuchungen zu vier Fachtexten der frühen Kaiserzeit: Vitruvs „De architectura“, Columellas „De re rustica“, Plinius’ „Naturalis historia“ und Frontins „De aquaeductu urbis Romae“. Im Zentrum stehen die Formen der Selbstpräsentation der jeweiligen Verfasser gegenüber ihrem Lesepublikum und die dazu von ihnen verwendeten rhetorischen Strategien. Im einzelnen wird herausgearbeitet, wie sie sich von ihren Vorgängern abzusetzen versuchen und als Autorität inszenieren. In diesem Rahmen geht es nicht zuletzt um soziale und ethische Aspekte von Wissenschaft, wie z. B. Offenheit im Umgang mit Wissensbeständen, Erkenntnisfortschritt, den praktischen und politischen Nutzen von Fachwissen sowie den damit verbundenen materiellen Gewinn. Die Arbeit ist an der Schnittstelle von Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft, Wissenschaftsgeschichte und Kultursoziologie angesiedelt. Thorsten Fögen analysiert antike Fachtexte als Zeugnisse soziokultureller Strukturen und damit die politisch-ideologischen Implikationen von Fachschriftstellerei, die sich aus der von ihnen entworfenen Weltanschauung, ihrem Verhältnis zur Tradition und dem von ihnen vertretenen Wertesystem identifizieren lassen.
