"Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius is a forensic examination of two of the most famous letters from the ancient Mediterranean world, Pliny the Younger's Epistulae 6.16 and 6.20, which offer a contemporary account of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. These letters, sent to the historian Tacitus, provide accounts by Pliny the Younger about what happened when Mt Vesuvius exploded, destroying the surrounding towns and countryside, including Pompeii and Herculaneum, and killing his uncle, Pliny the Elder. This volume provides the first comprehensive full-length treatment of these documents, contextualized by evidence-rich biographies for both Plinys, and a synthesis of the latest archaeological and volcanological research which answers questions about the eruption date. A new collation of sources results in a detailed manuscript tradition and an authoritative Latin text, while commentaries on each letter offer copiously referenced insights on their structure, style, and meaning. Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius offers a thorough companion to these letters, and to the eruption, which will be of interest not only to those working on Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the works of Pliny, but also to general readers, Latin students, and scholars of the Roman world more broadly"--

Die Untersuchung bemüht sich, die im allgemeinen vernachlässigte künstlerische Form der Briefe des jüngeren Plinius herauszustellen. Behandelt werden folgende Themen: Exempla antiquitatis (Würdigungen großer Männer, die noch die alte Zeit verkörpern und für Plinius vorbildhaft sind: Verginius Rufus, Titius Aristo, Antoninus Arrianus, Cornutus Tertullus), Verfall der individuellen Freiheit nicht nur unter Domitian, sondern auch unter Trajan, des Senats und der Redekunst der Gegenwart, bedeutende Schriftsteller in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart (Cicero, Plinius der Ältere, Silius Italicus, Martial), humanitas im Umgang mit anderen (sowohl mit anderen Völkern als auch mit Frauen und Sklaven), schließlich die Villa als geistiger Lebensraum und die Rezeption der Landschaft. Plinius spricht jeweils aus einem dezidiert eigenen Blickwinkel heraus. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein Gesamtbild seiner geistigen Persönlichkeit sowie der kulturellen Bedingungen der Epoche, da das Einverständnis der Adressaten aus dem Senatorenstand vorauszusetzen ist.

In this book on intertextuality in Pliny the Younger, Professor Marchesi invites an alternative reading of Pliny's collection of private epistles: the letters are examined as the product of an authorial strategy controlling both the rhetorical fabric of individual units and their arrangement in the collection. By inserting recognisable fragments of canonical authors into his epistles, Pliny imports into the still fluid practice of letter-writing the principles of composition and organisation that for his contemporaries characterised other writings as literature. Allusions become the occasion for a metapoetic dialogue, especially with the collection's privileged addressee, Tacitus. An active participant in the cultural politics of his time, Pliny entrusts to the letters his views on poetry, oratory and historiography. In defining a model of epistolography alternative to Cicero's and complementing those of Horace, Ovid and Seneca, he also successfully carves a niche for his work in the Roman literary canon.
