Apuleius' Metamorphoses (or The Golden Ass), a masterpiece of Latin literature from the second century AD, still captivates modern readers with its combination of asininity and mysticism. In the novel, a young man named Lucius tells how he accidentally turns into a donkey and then describes how he regains human form with the help of the Egyptian goddess Isis, into whose cult he is initiated. This book argues that invisibility is one of the central motifs in the Metamorphoses and, in the process, presents a new interpretation of Apuleius' novel as a visionary, esoteric text. It contributes both to the study of the subtle relationship between literature and Platonic philosophy and to the cultural history of invisibility in classical antiquity and beyond.

"Adventure, sex, magic, robbery, and dramatic declamatory displays play a central role in the plot of Apuleius' Metamorphoses III. This volume completes the prestigious Groningen Commentaries on Apuleius series. It presents a new text of Metamorphoses III provided with an English translation and a full commentary, which covers literary, linguistic, textual, narratological, and socio-cultural matters. The introduction casts new light on many aspects of Apuleius' novel, including its relationship with its lost Greek model, with the Greek love novels and with other genres (epic, poetry, declamation), Apuleius' elaborate style, the narratological features of book III and its main themes. An appendix is devoted to the manuscript transmission of the Metamorphoses: it factors in new textual evidence gathered from the first examination of several recentiores since Oudendorp (1786) and Hildebrand (1842)"--

Cet ouvrage éclaire les différentes facettes de la langue d'Apulée (2ème siècle après J-.C.) dans le roman latin des Métamorphoses. A l'analyse de l'identité linguistique du romancier lui-même (L. Nicolini), notamment dans son plurilinguisme (S. Mattiacci), s'ajoute la description de l'univers sonore construit par le roman (F. Biville), celui de la parole qui se déploie (F. Fleck), chargée des échos de personnages (J. Dalbera), comme de ceux, plus lointains, d'auteurs ou de textes presque oubliés (V. Martzloff). Pour la morphosyntaxe sont abordés les emplois des verbes pronominaux (M.-D. Joffre), des pronoms démonstratifs (S. Pieroni). Les choix d'Apulée en matière de vocabulaire sont illustrés par les créations lexicales (M. Fruyt), les emplois spécifiques de formations suffixales (Ch. Kircher ; P Lecaudé & A. Morel), certains champs lexicaux privilégiés comme la statuaire (P. Duarte), le retour (L. Pasetti), la philosophie (E. Dal Chiele). Le logiciel informatique Hyperbase (J. Dalbera & D. Longrée) permet des études contrastives, chiffrées, ouvrant la voie à des analyses syntaxiques (J. Meyers ; B. Bortolussi).
