Opis

This is the first critical edition of Prosper of Aquitaine's Liber epigrammatum. Prosper composed an influential poetical synthesis of Augustine's vast oeuvre, writing poems inspired by maxims he had excerpted from his works. The epigrams were a guide to Augustine that was both authoritative and pleasant to read. His synthesis became an essential part of the Medieval curriculum, serving as the first interpretative scheme for Augustine's theology.

Recenzje

"Ce travail insigne, mené avec beaucoup de précision et de finesse par Albertus G. A. Horsting, est la premieére édition critique de cette oeuvre de Prosper d'Aquitaine, qui servit de guide à la lecture d'Augustin. Une contribution précieuse pour d'autres études."
I. Baise in: Revue bénédictine 2018/1, S. 216

"[...] the new edition is certainly without paragon at present."
Philipp Roelli in: ExClass 21, 2017, 415-416
