Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A professor of Greek rhetoric, frequent letter writer and influential social figure, Libanius (AD 314393) is a key author for anybody interested in late antiquity, ancient rhetoric, ancient epistolography and ancient biography. Nevertheless, he remains understudied because it is such a daunting task to access his large and only partially translated oeuvre. This volume, which is the first comprehensive study of Libanius, offers a critical introduction to the man, his texts, their context and reception. Clear presentations of the orations, progymnasmata, declamations and letters unlock the corpus, and a survey of all available translations is provided. At the same time, the volume explores new interpretative approaches of the texts from a variety of angles. Written by a team of established as well as upcoming experts in the field, it substantially reassesses works such as the Autobiography, the Julianic speeches and letters, and Oration 30 For the Temples. Libanius is a key figure for anybody studying late antiquity, but also ancient rhetoric, epistolography and biography. This book is the first comprehensive study of the author. Written by the foremost experts in the field, it unlocks the author's difficult oeuvre, sets it in its context, and explores its reception. This item is printed on demand.
