"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.

This work is a description by the priest Hugh of Liège of his experiences on a pilgrimage in a work which he calls Peregrinarius Hugonis . Taken partly from real life and partly fantasized, it is entirely written in Latin couplets. The final destination of this pilgrimage is never mentioned, but it might have been Rome. On his journey, the Muses appear to Hugh and demand that he write letters to the Kings of England and France, and to the Pope. The letters lead to a grand Peace Conference and an end to the 100-Years War which had recently begun (1342). The work contains countless cameos, interspersed between the letters, from the author's private life and fantasy world, and together they present the author with the chance to air all his knowledge of theology, natural science and medicine. The Peregrinarius is a colourful representation of the manners of its time. It shows how power politics was viewed by a man of the people, and what cures he had to offer against its evils. All in all, an entertaining book in a Latin, which if not exactly classical, is any event well-composed and easy to follow.

Paulin of Pellas's work is an important witness about Gallie society in IV-V cent. A.D. This new edition by Lucarini, which replaces Brandes' edition (CSEL 1888), is based on a full revision of the tradition (especially, a new analysis of Bernensis 317). The editor proposes, too, new and numerouses conjectures. Paulinus von Pella in Mazedonien, lateinischer christlicher Dichter, liefert uns in seinem nicht sehr umfangreichen Werk ein doch sehr interessantes Zeitdokument für die Gesellschaft des 4./5. Jh. n. Chr. Die Neuausgabe von Carlo Lucarini ersetzt die letzte Bearbeitung von W. Brandes (CSEL 1888) und basiert auf einer völlig neuen Durchsicht des erhaltenen Handschriftenmaterials (speziell einer neuen Analyse des Bernensis 317). Der Editor bietet in seinem Text zahlreiche neue Konjekturen.
