Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the works of Christian poet Commodianus and challenges long-held assumptions surrounding his life and the time period in which he wrote. The author argues that Commodianus' writings, which have been dated to the middle of the third century, were actually written aro…und the middle of the fifth century. The author presents an in-depth philological, historical, and literary analysis of Commodianus' two main works, the "Instructiones" and the "Carmen Apologeticum," and concludes that the works were written in Gaul and reflect the social and religious climate of the period, specifically referencing historical events such as the sack of Rome in 410. This book offers a significant contribution to the study of Commodianus and early Christian literature, and invites readers to reconsider the role of the poet as a fifth rather than third century figure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
