Abstract

Greek traditions of writing about food and the symposium had a long and rich afterlife in the first to fifth centuries CE, in both Greco-Roman and early Christian culture. This book provides an account of the history of the table-talk tradition, derived from Plato's Symposium and other classical texts, focusing among other writers on Plutarch, Athenaeus, Methodius and Macrobius. It also deals with the representation of transgressive, degraded, eccentric types of eating and drinking in Greco-Roman and early Christian prose narrative texts, focusing especially on the Letters of Alciphron, the Greek and Roman novels, especially Apuleius, the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles and the early saints' lives. It argues that writing about consumption and conversation continued to matter: these works communicated distinctive ideas about how to talk and how to think, distinctive models of the relationship between past and present, distinctive and often destabilising visions of identity and holiness.

Abstract

The "Carmina XII sapientum" is a corpus of inscriptions from late classical antiquity which was widely received in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; it consists of twelve cycles of twelve poems, each cycle with a different theme. The titles of the manuscripts name twelve scholars as the authors. The present study provides the first detailed critical commentary on the individual elements of the corpus, dealing with all its textual, linguistic, stylistic and content-related aspects. The commentary on each cycle is preceded by a historical treatment of the motifs. In the process, the author reaches a completely new interpretation of this collection of epigrams. She presents it as a jocular work in the ancient literary tradition of the symposium; it was produced at the turn of the 4th century AD by a rhetorically skilled author already versed in Christian discourses, probably by the rhetor and later Christian apologist Lactantius. Unter dem Namen "Carmina XII sapientum" ist ein spätantikes, in Mittelalter und Renaissance breit rezipiertes Inschriftencorpus überliefert, das sich aus zwölf thematisch unterschiedlichen Zyklen zu je zwölf Gedichten zusammensetzt. Als deren Verfasser nennen die Tituli der Handschriften zwölf Gelehrte. In dieser Arbeit erfährt das Corpus erstmalig eine detaillierte Einzelkommentierung, die alle textkritischen, sprachlich-stilistischen und inhaltlichen Aspekte berücksichtigt. Der Kommentierung eines jeden Zyklus geht eine Aufarbeitung seines motivgeschichtlichen Horizontes voraus. Die Autorin kommt dabei zu einer völlig neuen Deutung der Epigrammsammlung. Sie ist als ein in die antike literarische Gattung der Symposien einzuordnendes scherzhaftes Werk zu verstehen, das von einer rhetorisch geschulten, bereits christliche Diskurse rezipierenden Autorenpersönlichkeit an der Schwelle des 4. Jhs. n. Chr. verfasst wurde, wahrscheinlich vom Rhetor und späteren Apologet Lactanz.
