Paperback - Summary The privileged form of expression of Roman prayer, before Christianism, was the carmen, a « religious formula » carefully scanned, with an aura often archaic and mysterious, if not magical. This book offers a systematic inquiry into the carmen. The author examines its technical aspects within the realm of archaic latin meter, then, based upon the latest research, pursues in-depth studies of the oldest manifestations of this type of prayer : the carmina of the ancient sodalities of Rome, the Salians and the Arval Brothers and the carmina of the corpus of Cato the Elder (the « Censor »), who provides us with precepts and prayers stemming from the earliest beliefs of the farmers of Latium. He adds a study of the carmen taken in another sense, although under foreign influence, that of « oracular formula », « prophetic discourse », a discourse which was assumed to come from the divinity itself.
