Abstract

This volume, which brings together contributions of researchers from the HiSoMA workshop and from various universities, seeks to understand the Greco-Latin letter not as a historical document, but as a literary text. It includes examples of non-literary letters, but focuses on examples of letters that rightfully belong to literature and analyzes what they tell us about their status, their function, and the work of their editor.

Abstract

Late Antiquity - by which we mean the period from 300 to 600 CE - has rightly been called the golden age of epistolography, one which has few equivalents, even taking Cicero, Pliny the Younger, Fronto or Cyprian into account. Mullett notes that fourth- and fifth-century Greek letters make up the majority of Byzantine letters. O'Brien points out that in the third century 177 letters survive from eleven writers in Latin, while from the fourth century the works of twenty-one epistolographers have come down to us in 395 letters, and 933 from forty-one writers from the fifth century, while after the sixth century the number of letters falls off sharply.3 This exponential increase in epistolary activity is all the more surprising given that in the Classical period only eminent and politically active people could afford a private postal service, and the relatively high mortality rate of ancient letters

Abstract

La douleur, qu'il s'agisse de la sienne ou de celle des autres, est l'une des thématiques majeures de l'art épistolaire. Lorsqu'il s'agit de la douleur physique et de ses manifestations, médecine et philosophie s'y croisent, notamment lorsqu'il est question de rechercher des remèdes. La souffrance morale est aussi traitée, dans une perspective qui embrasse à la fois les sources et les convictions religieuses, sociales et culturelles. Les lettres offrent plusieurs cas de figure et d'espoirs de réponse : puissance ou impuissance de la correspondance — et plus largement de l'art — contre le mal intérieur, utilisation des épîtres au service d'une thérapie dont l'homme se veut le seul objet, recours à la divinité clans une économie du salut. Le deuil, enfin, qu'il s'agisse de drames aussi célèbres que Catulle et la perte de son frère, Cicéron et celle de sa fille Tullia, ouvre la porte au genre de la consolatio : messages chrétiens insérés dans le cadre de la foi, angoisse de la mort compensée par la croyance en l'au-delà, richesse du mysticisme venant au secours de la peur inhérente à notre condition mortelle.

Abstract

This volume places the New Testament letters squarely in the middle of all the important letter corpora of antiquity. Chapters cover the basic letter formula, papyrus and postal delivery, non-literary and diplomatic correspondence, Greek and Latin literary letters, epistolary theory, letters in early Judaism, and all the letters of the New Testament. Part I of each chapter surveys each corpus, followed by detailed exegetical examples in Part II. Comprehensive bibliographies and 54 exercises with answers suit this guide to student and scholar alike.
