The Cambridge Critical Guide to Latin Literature
The Cambridge Critical Guide to Latin Literature offers a critical overview of work on Latin literature. Where are we? How did we get here? Where to next? Fifteen commissioned chapters, along with an extensive introduction and Mary Beard's postscript, approach these questions from a range of angles. They aim not to codify the field, but to give snapshots of the discipline from different perspectives, and to offer provocations for future developme…
The Lost History of Sextus Aurelius Victor
A radical rewriting of the history of fourth-century Latin literature Demonstrates for the first time both the contemporary and lasting influence of Victor’s historiography Discusses a wide range of both canonical and neglected authors and texts, including Sallust, St Jerome, Ammianus, the Historia Augusta , Eunapius and Julian Provides an up-to-date account of the mechanics of abbreviating texts in late antiquity, an important and relatively neg…
Historiarum Libri Quinque
This article examines the influence of Sallust on Hegesippus, the fourth-century historian and adaptor of Josephus (commonly referred to as pseudo-Hegesippus). Analysis of the structure of his work reveals that Hegesippus strove to write in five books to mirror the Histories of Sallust. Consideration of the lengths of those books and of other evidence then shows that Sallust’s Histories were themselves written in five substantial books of ca. 20,…
Histoire Auguste. Tome IV. 1re partie. Vies des deux Maximins, des trois Gordiens, de Maxime et Balbin. Texte établi, traduit et commenté par François Paschoud
Der GNOMON pflegt als kritische Zeitschrift für die gesamte Altertumswissenschaft die Verbindung zwischen den verschiedenen Disziplinen der Altertumswissenschaft. Er nimmt dadurch eine Sonderstellung unter den Rezensionsorganen ein und bietet die Möglichkeit, sich über wichtige Forschungen und Publikationen auch in den Nachbarbereichen des eigenen Faches zu orientieren. Die Rezensionen im GNOMON wenden sich an ein internationales Publikum, das au…
The Poet Nemesianus and the Historia Augusta
Lurking in the Historia Augusta's life of the short-lived Emperor Carus is what appears to be a reference to the genuine contemporary poet Nemesianus and an extant work by him, the Cynegetica . Given the HA's predilection for ‘bogus authors’, this is rather surprising, but because some of what the HA says about Nemesianus is true, the otherwise unique details of his life and works that it provides have been generally accepted. We show first that …
Jordanes and the Date of the Epitome de Caesaribus
The Epitome de Caesaribus is universally assumed to be a work of the late fourth or early fifth centuries. In this article, we demonstrate that the Epitome was in fact compiled at some point after the middle of the sixth century, by showing, on textual and philological grounds, that it has drawn extensively on the Romana of Jordanes (written c. 51/2). We then explore some of the implications of this re-dating for our understanding of the text and…
Roger Bacon and the New Apuleius
The Murbach Manuscript of the Historia Augusta
This study brings together for the first time all the evidence we have for lost ninth-century manuscript from Murbach of the Historia Augusta. When this evi- dence is rigourously examined, it becomes clear that the Murbacensis represents a very different, and often superior, text to that found in the main ninth-century witness, Pal. lat. 899
New Light on the Historia Augusta
This paper presents a new manuscript of part of the Historia Augusta from Erlangen, which vindicates a more than century-old hypothesis by E. Patzig: that the 1489 Venice edition of the work is textually valuable. On this basis, and building on the recent work of R. Modonutti, I present five new passages that are not printed in modern editions of the HA , six lacunose passages restored, and propose that the lost Murbach manuscript is the source. …
The Date of the Bucolic Poet Martius Valerius
The collection of four Latin bucolics ascribed to one Martius Valerius was only published in the twentieth century; they have been widely considered as twelfth-century compositions. Picking up on suggestions proposed by François Dolbeau, this study presents evidence that Martius drew directly on the bucolics of Theocritus, and that his poems are late antique, not medieval, literary productions, probably written in the sixth century. Such a conclu…
Epitome de Caesaribus 1.24 and Ovid’s Exile
The Authorship of the Historia Augusta
The case of the Historia Augusta, a collection of imperial biographies from Hadrian to Carus supposedly written by six different authors, provided the impetus for the introduction of computational methods into the Echtheitskritik of ancient authors in 1979. After a flurry of studies in the 1990s, interest waned, particularly because most of those studies seemed to support conclusions incompatible with the scholarly consensus on the question. In t…
Reassessing the Apuleian Corpus
The renaissance of Apuleian studies of the past few decades shows no signs of abating. 1 The summer of 2014 may well be the highest watermark yet recorded in the tide of interest in Apuleius: June and July alone saw the release of two monographs, one each from Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press, and one edited conference volume, from Routledge. 2 The clearest sign that the sophist of Madauros has come into his own is his admis…
The Hersfeldensis and the Fuldensis of Ammianus Marcellinus
The only two authoritative manuscripts of Ammianus Marcellinus to survive to the present day were produced in Germany in the first half of the ninth century: Vaticanus Latinus 1873 from Fulda (V), and a fragmentary manuscript from Hersfeld now preserved in Kassel (M). This article challenges the consensus that V is a copy of M. Taking into account recently uncovered fragments of M (new transcriptions of which are offered in the Appendix), we argu…
Olybrius and the Einsiedeln Eclogues
Two ancient pastoral poems were published by Hermann Hagen in 1869 from a manuscript at Einsiedeln and were soon dated to the reign of Nero. In this study, I show that these poems are related to the Bucolicon Olybrii listed in a library catalogue of Murbach from around 850, and demonstrate on internal and external grounds that the poems were likely composed around the end of the fourth century by Anicius Hermogenianus Olybrius, the consul of 395.…
An Encyclopedia in the Margins
Few texts in the Western Canon are as badly in need of a commentary as Plato’s Timaeus. Geometry, arithmology, biology, astronomy, harmonics—these represent only a sampling of the number of disciplines Plato touches upon in the terse and densely packed monologue he puts into the mouth of Socrates’ interlocutor Timaeus. So in 1363, an anonymous scholar, writing perhaps in France, but more probably in Italy, set down to compose a commentary on Plat…
