"Prudentius is often considered the greatest Latin poet of late antiquity. In this volume, O'Daly looks at Prudentius' lyric poems, the Cathemerinon, Poems for the Day, which were published early in the fifth century AD. Reflecting the religious concerns of the increasingly Christianized western Roman Empire in the age of the emperor Theodosius and Ambrose of Milan, the Cathemerinon are above all the writings of a private person, and of the ways in which his religious beliefs colour his everyday life. They speak of bird-song and morning light, they are about about the taking of food, about lighting lamps as dark sets in, and about the night's sleep. Rich in biblical themes and earratives, images and symbols (including paradise and the Fall, Exodus, Jonah, Daniel, and the Magi), they also celebrate Christ's miracles and the feasts of Christmas and Epiphany. However, while they exploit the themes of the Bible, they are also written in the classical metres of Latin poetry and make use of its vocabulary and metaphors. They achieve a remarkable creative tension between the two worlds that determined Prudentius' culture: the beliefs and practices, sacred books, and doctrines of Christianity; and the traditions, poetry, and ideas of the Greeks and Romans. A good part of the attractiveness of these poems comes from the interplay between these two worlds. The volume includes the Latin texts, English translations, and critical essays on each of the twelve poems."--Publisher's website.

The "Theology in a Thousand Verses", written by Leon Magistros Choirosphaktes is a philosophical and theological didactic poem addressed to a young emperor. This edition presents a linguistically accessible text, accompanied by a translation and commentary. Die Theologie in tausend Versen des Leon Magistros Choirosphaktes, eines hervorragenden byzantinischen Diplomaten des 10. Jahrhunderts, ist ein philosophisch-theologisches Lehrgedicht, das an einen jungen Kaiser (Konstantinos VII. Porphyrogennetos?) gerichtet ist. Das Hauptziel der vorliegenden Ausgabe liegt in der sprachlichen Erschließung des in einer einzigen Handschrift (Vat. gr. 1257) nicht besonders vorteilhaft überlieferten Textes, der bis in unsere Tage verborgen geblieben ist und nun erst rund zehn Jahrhunderte nach seiner Entstehung zum ersten Mal in einer vollständigen Form gedruckt vorliegt. Das Gedicht wird von einer Übersetzung begleitet, die in erster Linie dazu dienen soll, die Wege zum Verständnis des an sich schwierigen und an manchen Stellen obskuren Textes zu ebnen. Den gleichen Zweck verfolgt auch der Kommentar.
