Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of notes under the title, Placidus Commentary on Statius, that are attributed to a certain Lactantius or Luctatius Placidus, a scholar of the early medieval period. The text contains scholia, or marginal annotations, and allegorical commentary on Statius' epic poem, Thebaid, and his occasional verses, Achilleid. Though they are attributed to Placidus, it is likely that he collected and organized them rather than being the author. The book provides a window into the grammatical, mythological, and historical knowledge of Late Antiquity. The author explores the ancient texts using allegorical and mythological lenses, shedding light on the depth of learning of the period. The book is of great value to scholars of ancient literature, particularly those studying Statius and the myths and customs of Classical Antiquity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781390414783_0
