Philologischer, historischer und liturgischer Kommentar zum 8. Buch der Johannis des Goripp: nebst kritischer Edition und Übersetzung

Autor Peter Riedlberger
de Limba Germană Hardback – 20 iun 2013
Peter Riedlberger’s award-winning thesis offers an exhaustive commentary on the 8th and last book of the Iohannis. This poem intrigues its readers on more than one account: Using the well-established form of Latin epic, it offers a fascinating window into the world of reconquered Roman Africa ca. 550 A.D. On one level, the commentary tries to elucidate the numerous allusions to contemporary events, persons and realia; on another level, it firmly sets the poem in the Latin epic tradition, distinguishing clearly between poetical conventions and descriptions of real-life facts. This book further comprises a critical edition of the 8th book, the first ever German translation, and a comprehensive introduction, which establishes the true name of the author (Gorippus, not Corippus) and challenges the current notion of the function and role of late antique panegyrics. Strong points include the book’s high readability, its many illustrations (which include useful maps and several reproductions).

Recenzii

Die Lektüre dieses ebenso klugen und gehaltvollen wie eloquenten und stilsicheren Buches ist von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite ein Genuß ... Wer sich fortan mit der Johannis im Speziellen, aber auch mit spätaniker Epik oder Panegyrik im Allgemeinen beschäftigen will, wird (und muß) R. zur Kenntnis nehmen. Silvio Bär, Gnomon 84 (2012)

Un livre qui fait le point sur notre connaissance de la Johannide et en explique le dernier livre en rassemblant une vaste documentation historique et linguistique qui rendra de grands services non seulement aux lecteurs de Corippe, mais à tous ceux qui s’interéssent à la poésie latine tardive. Jean-Louis Charlet, Revue des Études Latines 88 (2010)

This is an outstandingly intelligent, thorough and well informed (if sometimes prickly) commentary. R. has served his readers – and ‘Gorippus’ – well. Gregory Hays, Scripta Classica Israelica 31 (2012)

All those who are interested in 6th century history and literature are advised to consult this book, which apart from being a full commentary on a particular part of the Johannis can be regarded as a handbook for the study of Gorippus. Jan den Boeft, Vigiliae Christianae 66 (2012)

This excellent book has a lot of attractive features that make it an indispensable tool for those who are going to deal not only with Corippus, but with late antique epic poetry in general. It is written in a vivacious style with witty remarks and brilliant observations … The lavish commentary is to be credited for its balanced and intelligent discussion, which the author manages with clarity and precision. Chiara Tommasi-Moreschini, Church History and Religious Culture 92 (2012)

The limited scope of this review does not allow justice to be done to the breadth and depth of the work. It should at least be evident that it will be an indispensable part of any future scholar’s required reading for research on North Africa of the period or of the work of Gorippus. Betine van Zyl Smit, Acta Classica 55 (2012)

Il rigore metodologico e l’ampiezza delle indagini, il carattere scrupoloso e approfondito dello studio, la cura formale fanno di questo commento un prodotto del tutto valido. … Per l’ampiezza delle tematiche abbracciate, l’attenzione rivolta al contesto storico, la mole di informazioni fornite si rivela una fonte d’interesse e un ottimo strumento per tutti gli studiosi del tardo-antico. Vera Tufano, Bollettino di Studi Latini 42 (2012)

Im ganzen wird man Riedlbergers Kommentar (und auch seine Einleitung) als einen wichtigen und wertvollen Beitrag zur Coripp-Forschung würdigen müssen, der gerade aufgrund seiner Ausführlichkeit und Eindringlichkeit, die kaum jemals offenläßt, wie Riedlberger den Text versteht, seine Vorläufer zu den ersten drei Büchern in den Schatten stellt. Thomas Gärtner, Göttinger Forum für Altertumswissenschaft 16 (2013)

Mais c’est surtout pour son commentaire, à vrai dire, à la fois philologique, historique et liturgique, que l’ouvrage de P. Riedlberger est précieux, en raison de sa solidité et de son exhaustivité. Il est, en tout cas, absolument inenvisageable, dans les limites assignées à cette recension, de rendre compte dans le détail de l’abondance et de la finesse du commentaire proposé. Benjamin Goldlust, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2011.06.06
