Excerpt from A Syntactic, Stylistic and Metrical Study of Prudentius
The object of the present work is twofold first, a study of the syntactical and metrical usage of Prudentius, and, to a certain extent, ofhis style, together with a briefintroduction on the Forms; and secondly, a comparison of the latinity of that author with the latinity of Juvencus, an author of the same country and of the same century; to ascertain wherein they are alike and in what they di?er, and to determine in this way the relation of Prudentius to his predecessor, aiming throughout to throw some light upon the latinity of the age. In order to facilitate such a comparison, the investigation has been pursued on parallel lines to those followed by Hatfield in his study of Juvencus, a plan based for the most part upon Draeger's Syntax und Stil des Tacitus.3 Comparisons are also made at di?'erent points with the usage of Vergil, more particularly in 112, 113, 118, 119, 141, 142, 143; and with the usage of Horace in 146. Parallel pas sages in other authors have also been added by way of illustra tion. Chie?y through the assistance of the valuable indices of the volumes in the Vienna Corpus Script. Eccl. Lat.
