Latin books are among the most numerous surviving artifacts of the Late Antique, Mediaeval, and Renaissance periods in European history; written in a variety of formats and scripts, they preserve the literary, philosophical, scientific, and religious heritage of the West. The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography surveys these books, with special emphasis on the variety of scripts in which they were written. Palaeography, in the strictest sense, examines how the changing styles of script and the fluctuating shapes of individual letters allow the date and the place of production of books to be determined. More broadly conceived, palaeography examines the totality of early book production, ownership, dissemination, and use. The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography includes essays on major types of script (Uncial, Insular, Beneventan, Visigothic, Gothic, etc.), describing what defines these distinct script types, and outlining when and where they were used. It expands on previous handbooks of the subject by incorporating select essays on less well-studied periods and regions, in particular late mediaeval Eastern Europe. The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography is also distinguished from prior handbooks by its extensive focus on codicology and on the cultural settings and contexts of mediaeval books. Essays treat of various important features, formats, styles, and genres of mediaeval books, and of representative mediaeval libraries as intellectual centers. Additional studies explore questions of orality and the written word, the book trade, glossing and glossaries, and manuscript cataloguing. The extensive plates and figures in the volume will provide readers wtih clear illustrations of the major points, and the succinct bibliographies in each essay will direct them to more detailed works in the field.

The Collectio Avellana (CA) has an extraordinary richness and variety of content. Imperial rescripts, reports of urban prefects, letters of bishops, and exchanges of letters between popes and emperors, some of which only this compilation preserves, constitute an exceptional documentary collection for researchers of various sectors of antiquity. This volume is the first publication to reconstruct the history of this compilation through the fascinating questions that it poses to the scholar. There are essays on its general structure, and on some of the most singular texts preserved therein. Other papers offer a comparison between this compilation and the other canonical collections compiled in Italy between the fourth and sixth centuries, as well as between the CA and other contemporary literary products. Adopting a new approach, some contributions also ascertain who could physically have access to the materials that were collected in the CA, and where the compiler could find them. All these fresh studies have led to new hypotheses regarding the period in which the collection, or at least some of its parts, took shape and the personality of its author.

Antonio da Rho’s Three Dialogues against Lactantius (1445) followed the lead of Jerome and Augustine yet went well beyond patristic concerns. During the Middle Ages Lactantius’ works, while largely neglected, had enjoyed moments of intense interest and study. From the death of Lactantius (325) to his broad Quattrocento recovery, many profound cultural and intellectual shifts had transpired. Consequently, Rho’s dialogues engage topics arising from scholastic and other debates in jurisprudence, cosmology, astrology, geography, philosophy, and theology. He was convinced that insights from these fields would elucidate errors of Lactantius that his readers had overlooked. This reveals much about the cultural and intellectual developments that shaped readers’ efforts to recover, comprehend, and define Lactantius as an author. Significantly, the list of Lactantius’ errors discussed in the dialogues was printed with nearly every edition of Lactantius through the sixteenth century and beyond.

Die Sphortias des Humanisten Francesco Filelfo (15. Jd.) war das erste veritable neulateinische Epos, das einen zeitgenössischen Helden in Szene setzte. Das Gedicht, das Filelfos Gönner Francesco Sforza, Herzog von Mailand, gewidmet ist, stieß fast sofort auf die heftige Kritik des Galeotto Marzio, eines Zeitgenossen Filelfos. Marzio prangerte in zwei polemischen Briefen die angeblichen literarischen und metrischen Schwächen der Sphortias an. Obwohl Filelfo Abschriften an mögliche Gönner in ganz Italien sandte, litt die Rezeption der Sphortias unter dem Fehlen einer Druckausgabe, was auch die moderne Forschung behindert hat. Der vorliegende Band bietet die editio princeps der Sphortias, ergänzt durch kritische Editionen der anderen bedeutenden, aber gleichfalls kaum erforschten Werke Filelfos, in denen Sforza im Mittelpunkt steht: das unveröffentlichte Gedicht De Genuensium deditione, das 1464 anlässlich der Unterwerfung Genuas unter die Herrschaft des Herzogs von Mailand verfasst wurde; die Oratio parentalis de divi Francisci Sphortiae Mediolanensium ducis felicitate, ein anspruchsvolles biographisches Lobgedicht, das 1467 aus Anlass des ersten Jahrestages von Sforzas Tod geschrieben wurde; und der vollständige polemische Briefwechsel mit Galeotto Marzio. The Sphortias by the Quattrocento humanist Francesco Filelfo was the first full-blown Neo-Latin epic staging a contemporary hero. Devoted to Filelfo’s patron, Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, the poem almost immediately met a fierce critic in Filelfo’s contemporary Galeotto Marzio, who wrote two polemical letters denouncing the Sphortias’ alleged literary and metrical flaws. Although Filelfo sent out copies to possible patrons all over Italy, the Sphortias’ reception suffered from the work’s failure to appear in print, which has not served modern scholarship either. This volume contains the editio princeps of the Sphortias, accompanied by critical editions of Filelfo’s other major Sforza-centred writings, all of them equally understudied: the unpublished poem De Genuensium deditione, written in 1464 on the occasion of Genoa’s submission to the Duke of Milan’s rule; the Oratio parentalis de divi Francisci Sphortiae Mediolanensium ducis felicitate, an ambitious biographical eulogy written in 1467 on the occasion of the first anniversary of Sforza’s demise; and the complete polemical epistolary exchange with Galeotto Marzio.

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius is a forensic examination of two of the most famous letters from the ancient Mediterranean world: Pliny the Younger’s Epistulae 6.16 and 6.20, which offer a contemporary account of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. These letters, sent to the historian Tacitus, provide accounts by Pliny the Younger about what happened when Mt Vesuvius exploded, destroying the surrounding towns and countryside, including Pompeii and Herculaneum, and killing his uncle, Pliny the Elder. This volume provides the first comprehensive full-length treatment of these documents, contextualized by evidence-rich biographies for both Plinys, and a synthesis of the latest archaeological and volcanological research which answers questions about the eruption date. A new collation of sources results in a detailed manuscript tradition and an authoritative Latin text, while commentaries on each letter offer copiously referenced insights on their structure, style, and meaning. Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius offers a thorough companion to these letters, and to the eruption, which will be of interest not only to those working on Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum, and the works of Pliny but also to general readers, Latin students, and scholars of the Roman world more broadly.
