Dieses dem Dichter Pentadius gewidmete Werk ist Teil eines mehr als zwanzig Jahre andauernden und von den Professoren Loriano Zurli und Paola Paolucci (Universität Peru¬gia) koordinierten Projekts von Untersuchungen und Entwicklungen kritischer Editionen der Gedichte, die in der sogenannten Salmasianschen Anthologie zusammengetragen sind. Diese größtenteils im codex Parisinus Latinus 10 318, bekannt als codex Salmasianus, überlieferte Anthologie ist eine Gedichtsammlung, die gegen Ende des Vandalenreichs (um 533-534 n. Chr.) in Nordafrika zusammengestellt wurde. Pentadius gehört zu den zahlreichen, oft anderweitig unbekannten Dichtern der Salma¬sianischen Sammlung. Sechs Gedichte (zwei Elegien und vier Epigramme) werden ihm zugeschrieben. Der Reihenfolge nach handelt es sich um eine Elegie mit dem Titel De Fortuna über die Veränderlichkeit des Schicksals, die durch zahlreiche mythische Instanzen veranschaulicht wird; eine weitere Elegie über die Ankunft des Frühlings mit dem Titel De adventu veris, die ein naturalistisches Bild entwirft; zwei Epigramme über Narcissus; ein Epigramm über eine Frau namens Chrysocome sowie ein Epigramm mit misogynen Ratschlägen. Diese sechs Gedichte bedürfen einer umfassenden Untersuchung sowie einer verlässlichen Ausgabe. Mit dem vorliegenden Essay strebt Paola Paolucci nach der Verwirklichung des ersten Ziels und schafft das Fundament für das zweite. This work, devoted to the poet Pentadius, is part of the project of study and of developing critical editions of the poems gathered in the so-called Salmasian Anthology, coordinated by professors Loriano Zurli and Paola Paolucci at the University of Perugia, and lasting for more than twenty years. This Anthology, transmitted for its greater part in the codex Parisinus Latinus 10 318, known as codex Salmasianus, is a poetic collection, put together in North Africa at the end of the Vandal Kingdom (around the years 533-534 AD). Pentadius is one of the various poets, often unknown otherwise, of the Salmasian Collection. Six poems (two elegies and four epigrams) are attributed to him. They are, in order, an elegy about the variability of destiny, illustrated through various mythical instances, with the title De Fortuna; another elegy about the arrival of spring, entitled De adventu veris, depicting a naturalistic frame; two epigrams on Narcissus; an epigram about a woman named Chrysocome and a final epigram concerning misogynistic advice. These six poems require an all-round study and a reliable edition. With this essay Paola Paolucci aims to pursue the first purpose and to lay the groundwork for the second one.

"The first taste I had for books came to me from my pleasure in the fables of the Metamorphoses of Ovid. For at about seven or eight years of age I would steal away from any other pleasure to read them, inasmuch as this language was my mother tongue, and it was the easiest book I knew and the best suited by its content to my tender age." -Michel de Montaigne The Metamorphoses of Ovid (8 AD) is an epic poem by Ovid. Published the same year the poet was sent into exile for the rest of his life, the Metamorphoses are the crowning achievement of the first major poet of the Roman empire. Written in dactylic hexameter, the meter of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and of Virgil's Aeneid, Ovid's work is an epic poem of transformations, of shape-shifting matter and beings bound to the power of love. Taking as its scope the whole history of the universe from the arrangement of order from chaos to the death of Julius Caesar, the Metamorphoses pays heed to desire's ability to enact long-lasting and at times irreversible change. The story begins at the very beginning, with the creation of the cosmos out of nothing, of order out of unimaginable chaos. Gods and goddesses have their moment in the sun, mankind is born only to be wiped out by an immense flood, then to rise again. Amidst countless little-known descriptions of war, romance, and change are the timeless tales of Perseus, Jason and Medea, Theseus and the Minotaur, and the labors of Hercules. Icarus soars too close to the sun. Orpheus tragically condemns Eurydice to the underworld. Troy is built and destroyed, the immortal Achilles is killed, and Aeneas sets sail to save his life and lay the foundations for Rome itself. Throughout these interwoven stories of individual and epochal change, Ovid explores the inescapability of love and death, essential themes both shared by all and constitutive of everything that was or ever will be. The Metamorphoses of Ovid is an intricate masterpiece of world literature that stands the test of time just as much as it defines it. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Metamorphoses of Ovid is a classic work of Roman literature reimagined for modern readers.

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.

Nature imitates art—not a paradox from Oscar Wilde's pen, but instead the bold formulation of the Latin poet Ovid (43 BCE-17 CE), marking a radical turning point in ancient aesthetics, founded on the principle of mimesis. For Ovid, art is independent of reality, not its mirror: by enhancing phantasia, the artist's creative imagination and the simulacrum's primacy over reality, Ovid opens up unexplored perspectives for future European literature and art. Through an examination of Narcissus and Pygmalion, figures of illusion and desire, who are the protagonists of two major episodes of the Metamorphoses, Rosati sheds light on some crucial junctures in the history of reception and aesthetics. Narcissus and Pygmalion has, since its first publication in Italian, contributed to the poet's critical fortunes over the past few decades through its combination of sophisticated literary critical thinking and patient argument applied to the poetics of self-reflexivity and, in particular, to the fundamental interface between the verbal and the visual in the Metamorphoses. A substantial introduction accompanies this new translation into English, positioning Rosati's work anew in the forefront of current discussions of Ovidian aesthetics and intermediality, in the wake of the postmodern culture of the simulacrum.
