Studies in the Christian Latin Poetry of Late Antiquity

In this volume twenty-two studies published by Willy Evenepoel in

international journals and collections during the period 1978-2010 have

been brought together, namely two general contributions (one about the

study of early Christian poetry, another about the place of poetry

within Late Antique Christianity), fourteen contributions on Prudentius,

five on Paulinus Nolanus’ Carmina natalicia and, finally, one on

Dracontius’ De laudibus Dei. The collection does not only enhance

the availability of the contributions in question, it also allows the

readers to get a better perspective on the interconnection between the

contributions at hand. The author has added extra value to the

collection by supplying indices and also by adding a large

critical survey of the recent research on the subjects that are dealt

with in the collection.
