"La Epistula consolatoria o De consolatione in aduersis (CPL 999) es un texto tradicionalmente impreso entre las obras latinas del Padre de la Iglesia Griega Basilio Magno. Se trata de una adaptación cristiana de la consolatio antigua que adopta la forma de una carta dirigida a un genérico frater para ofrecerle consuelo ante la adversidad --en particular, ante la enfermedad y, específicamente, la lepra-- y concienciarlo de que la adversidad es el castigo divino del pecador y un estímulo para el justo. El interés de una nueva edición es triple. Por un lado, en el aspecto textual, se ha empleado por primera vez el códice 275 de la Biblioteca municipal de Angers, que constituye el mejor testimonio de la tradición manuscrita. Su lectura permite, en segundo lugar, un examen detallado de la lengua de la obra, que presenta las particularidades propias del latín merovingio. Por último, las abundantes citas bíblicas pertenecen todavía en su mayoría a la Vetus Latina e incluyen versiones y pasajes de gran valor. El estudio de fuentes, lengua y tradición manuscrita permite deducir que no se trata de una traducción del griego, sino de una obra genuinamente latina, compuesta en época tardoantigua (s. V-VI) probablemente en la Galia."-- "In volume 102 of the Corpus Christianorum. Series Latina Prof. Álvaro Cancela Cilleruelo presents a thorough investigation and a new critical edition of the Epistula consolatoria, also known as the De consolatione in aduersis (CPL 999), by a Ps.-Basilius who probably lived in Gaul in late antiquity (5th-6th centuries)."-- Publisher's website.

"Authors of Greek and Roman philosophical protreptics imitate a kind of exhortation initially associated with Socrates, creating a thread of typically protreptic intertextuality that classifies protreptic as a genre of philosophical literature. Tracing this intertextuality from the Socratic authors to Boethius, the book shows how Greek and Roman protreptics define philosophy as a revisionary form of education, articulate the ultimate goals of this education, and associate their authors and audiences with philosophy as a new discursive practice and a new way of living. These texts constitute the first chapter in the history of educational revision and thus offer thoughts that continue to inform every debate on educational goals"

Offering a fresh assessment of the presence and function of paraenesis within Valentinianism, this book places Valentinian moral exhortation within the context of early Christian moral discourse. Like other early Christians, Valentinians were not only interested in ethics, but used moral exhortation to discursively shape social identity. Building on the increasing recognition of ethical and communal concerns reflected in the Nag Hammadi sources, this book advances the discussion by elucidating the social rhetoric within, especially, the Gospel of Truth and the Interpretation of Knowledge . The social function of paraenesis is to persuade an audience through social re-presentation. The authors of these texts discursively position their readers, and themselves, within engaging moments of narrativity. It is hoped that this study will encourage greater integration of research between those working on the Nag Hammadi material and those studying early Christian paraenetic discourse.

"Theodore Metochites, a distinguished figure in the intellectual and political landscape of the early Palaiologan period (1261-1341), was born in Constantinople in 1270. The On Morals or Concerning Education is an extensive disquisition about the significance and status of cultural education (paideia) in the context of Palaiologan society. The oration might also be seen at least partly as an autobiographical narrative exposing Metochites's inner reflections and anxieties. The On Morals belongs to the genre of the protreptikos, a hortatory speech designed to encourage its readers to study philosophy and attain virtue. With the On Morals Metochites sought to establish himself as a continuator of ancient moral philosophy in late Byzantium"--

Like a Captive Bird examines the use of psychagogy, a set of therapeutic principles for achieving virtue, in Plutarch's work. Warren argues that Plutarch's work makes use of moral-educational literature to inculcate a gendered sense of self in the reader, and that this self is fundamentally concerned with the sex of the body, its reproductive role, and the conjugal relationship. Psychagogy is therefore a process of self-formation which aims to regulate and distribute power in gendered interactions on the basis of virtue. On this view, virtue is not just a disposition of the soul, it is also a set of rules and regulations for how one should act and interact with others, and this ties it inextricably to gender. Plutarch furthers this view in his theoretical-philosophical work, where he moves beyond the gender binary to a psychic scale of gender expression which figures normative gender as virtuous and non-normative gender as vicious. He then examines the implications of these views in the biographies. Warren therefore holds that Plutarch's views on women and gender across all genres are ideologically coherent, even if written at different stages of his life.

Lisa Irene Hau argues that a driving force among Greek historians was the desire to use the past to teach lessons about the present and for the future. She uncovers the moral messages of the ancient Greek writers of history and the techniques they used to bring them across.
