Abstract

Classicizing Christian poetry has largely been neglected by literary scholars, but has recently been receiving growing attention, especially the poetry written in Latin. One of the objectives of this volume is to redress the balance by allowing more space to discussions of Greek Christian poetry.The contributions collected here ask how Christian poets engage with (and are conscious of) the double reliance of their poetry on two separate systems: on the one hand, the classical poetic models and, on the other, the various genres and sub-genres of Christian prose. Keeping in mind the different settings of the Greek-speaking East and the Latin-speaking West, the contributions seek to understand the impact of historical setting on genre, the influence of the paideia shared by authors and audiences, and the continued relevance of traditional categories of literary genre. While our immediate focus is genre, most of the contributions also engage with the ideological ramifications of the transposition of Christian themes into classicizing literature.This volume offers important and original case studies on the reception and appropriation of the classical past and its literary forms by Christian poetry.

Abstract

St. Gregory of Nazianzus' (ca. AD 330-390) classicizing Christian verse is the earliest Greek verse of its kind that survives in any great quantity. This is a critical edition, with introduction and commentary, of four poems (I.2.17; II.1.10, 19, 32). The commentary is primarily linguistic, but attention is paid to historical and theological matters. The poems' fate in Byzantium is also examined and three Byzantine paraphrases are edited in an appendix.The introduction examines features of Gregory's poetry in general. Gregory was an enthusiastic reader of Callimachus and his use of poetic allusion deserves special attention.

Abstract

The Stichoi diaphoroi, or Various verses, by the 11th century Byzantine poet Christophoros Mitylenaios, are a collection of originally 2856 verses, divided over 145 poems, handed down in 40 manuscripts. Set in chronological order, they treat a wide range of persons and subjects: emperors and imperial dignitaries, patriarchs and other religious figures such as saints and Church Fathers, family members and friends, edifices, icons, statues and other works of art, scenes taken from the day to day life in Constantinople (circus, religious feasts, traditions), and themes concerning nature along with panegyrics and elegies, riddles and satires. The Various verses collection was first published in 1887 in Rome by Antonio Rocchi. Rocchi's edition was based mainly on manuscripts G and V and showed numerous errors, both in the Greek text and in the accompanying commentary. In 1903 Eduard Kurtz provided a new edition in Leipzig under the title Die Gedichte des Christophoros Mitylenaios based on 25 manuscripts. More poems were discovered later. Marc De Groote provides a new scholarly edition in this volume, based on his researches in a total of 40 manuscripts and providing a four-part apparatus of source citations, parallels, manuscript sources and textual variants.

Abstract

Nicephorus Blemmydes was born as the second son of a doctor in Constantinople at the very end of the 12th century. In December 1224 he was ordained lector by patriarch Germanus II, which marked the beginning of a successful career in the Church, culminating in the foundation of an own monastery near Ephesus. Teaching, both on theological and secular topics, played a major part in his life as well. Among his pupils were George Acropolites and the future emperor Theodore II Lascaris. As to instruct his fellow monks in his monastery, Blemmydes wrote, among other things, four brief treatises, entitled 'De fide', 'De virtute et ascesi', 'De anima' and 'De corpore', each of which might have originally been part of his 'Typikon', yet has been circulating also independently. Up to now, only the 'De anima' has been decently edited.
