This carefully researched monograph is a historical investigation of the illustrated Aratea astronomical manuscript and its many interpretations over the centuries. Aratus' 270 B.C.E. Greek poem describing the constellations and astrological phenomena was translated and copied over 800 years into illuminated manuscripts that preserved and illustrated these ancient stories about the constellations. The Aratea survives in its entirety due to multiple translations from Greek to Latin and even to Arabic, with many illuminated versions being commissioned over the ages. The survey encompasses four interrelated disciplines: history of literature, history of myth, history of science, and history of art. Aratea manuscripts by their nature are a meeting place of these distinct branches, and the culling of information from historical literature and from the manuscripts themselves focuses on a wider, holistic view; a narrow approach could not provide a proper prospective. What is most essential to know about this work is that because of its successive incarnations it has survived and been reinterpreted through the centuries, which speaks to its importance in all of these disciplines. This book brings a better understanding of the history, changes and transmission of the original astronomical Phaenomena poem. Historians, art historians, astronomy lovers, and historians of astronomy will learn more specialized details concerning the Aratea and how the tradition survived from the Middle Ages. It is a credit to the poetry of Aratus and the later interpreters of the text that its pagan aspects were not edited nor removed, but respected and maintained in the exact same form despite the fact that all sixty Aratea manuscripts mentioned in this study were produced under the rule of Christianity.

Ciceron etait aussi poete. On le sait moins, mais le celebre avocat n'a jamais cesse d'ecrire des vers, depuis son adolescence jusqu'aux dernieres annees de sa vie. Sans doute ce n'est pas a son oeuvre poetique que Ciceron doit sa renommee. Tacite et Martial, entre autres, eurent des mots assez durs a son propos, cependant celle-ci, abondante et variee, laisse entrevoir tout un pan meconnu de l'oeuvre de Ciceron ainsi que les gouts litteraires de l'epoque. La presente edition rassemble en un volume toute la poesie de Ciceron, le plus souvent connue par des citations glanees dans divers textes. La riche introduction replace l'oeuvre poetique dans le corpus ciceronien et degage trois grandes periodes, correspondant a trois styles de poemes: l'oeuvre de jeunesse, tres marquee par la poesie alexandrine contient notamment les Aratea, traduction en vers latins du fameux texte d'Aratos, et qui occupe la plus grande partie du recueil. Puis, a l'age adulte, Ciceron se tourne vers des sujets de plus grande envergure et plus proches de son epoque. Il ecrit alors des epopees d'actualite, dont le De Consulatu suo et le De Temporibus suis sont les exemples les mieux conserves. Enfin, au crepuscule de sa vie, Ciceron philosophe orne ses traites de traductions des plus grands poetes grecs, d'Homere a Euripide. Apres ce panorama de la poesie ciceronienne, l'introduction relate en detail l'histoire du texte et de ses editions. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont developpees, pour chacun des poemes, par des notes complementaires. L'ouvrage est en outre enrichi par une precieuse table de concordance ainsi que par un Index Nominum.
