Als Prototyp eines außerhalb der Stadtmauern liegenden Begräbnisplatzes protestantischen Bekenntnisses wurde der Stadtgottesacker in Halle zwischen 1557 und 1590 zu einer architektonischen Einheit ausgebaut, die heute in Form und Vollständigkeit nördlich der Alpen einzigartig ist. Die Familien der städtischen Oberschicht, Ratsherren, Bürgermeister, Schöffen und Bornmeister, weiter Hofbeamte, Juristen, Mediziner und hochgestellte Theologen, ließen auf ihre Kosten das zentrale Gräberfeld mit mehr als 90 Schwibbögen umgeben, unter denen sich die eigentlichen Grüfte befinden. Sowohl die darin angebrachten Grabmäler als auch die Arkatur wurden mit Inschriften besitzanzeigenden und religiösen Inhalts versehen, die tiefe Einblicke in die Mentalität einer bildungsbürgerlichen Schicht zur Zeit der Reformation zulassen. Diese Inschriften aus der Zeit bis 1700 werden hier vollständig ediert und übersetzt, Personen und Wappen identifiziert. Fotografien aller erhaltenen Objekte sowie die Möglichkeit eines Zugriffs auf zusätzliches Bildmaterial mittels QR-Code und unter Angabe eines entsprechenden Links ergänzen die Texte. Between 1557 and 1590, the Stadtgottesacker in Halle, a prototype of a Protestant burial ground outside the city walls, was expanded into an architectural unity that in form and completeness has no parallel north of the Alps. The volume contains all the inscriptions prior to 1700 on tombs and on 90 burial vaults, edited and translated in their entirety, along with notes on coats of arms and referenced persons.

"Epigram stands apart from other early Greek poetic genres by being from the start a written genre, and moreover by being a written genre with a fixed physical context. In the case of sepulchral epigram this physical context is that of a grave or a cenotaph, thus making the epigram an integral part of a monument, a physical object in a fixed place, commemorating one or more persons"--Provided by publisher. "With contributions written by leading experts in the field, this volume explores the dialogue between Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams and their readers. The authors examine questions surrounding the identity of the speakers and the addressees. They also discuss the spatial, religious, historical and political contexts of epigram, as well as aspects of intertextuality, poetic variation and the creation of epigrammatic sub-genres. Collectively the volume demonstrates that the dominant view of epigram as a genre that became literary and artistic only in the Hellenistic period has to be revised. Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams did not simply serve the objects they describe but also demonstrate a high degree of aesthetic and literary achievement. This volume breaks new ground in the study of the genre and is important for scholars of classics, archaeology, epigraphy and papyrology"--Provided by publisher.
