Description

Further Details Title: Lucillio, "Epigrammi" Condition: New Description: This is the first modern commentary devoted exclusively to the epigrams of Lucillius, a prolific Neronian poet who, in spite of being one of the most significant representatives of the Greek satirical epigram, has primarily been studied not for his own value, but for the influence he had on Martial. About 140 epigrams of his survive, mostly in book XI of the Anthology. The volume contains an extensive introduction, a new critical text and translation, and a full literary and philological commentary. While the body of the commentary focuses on the particular, providing literary readings of individual epigrams and a line-by-line linguistic, philological, and stylistic analysis, the introduction deals with Lucillius’s identity, the tradition of the text, style, themes, metrics, and cultural setting, and additionally investigates the origins and development of Greek skoptic epigram. Particular attention is paid to the way in which Lucillius engages with the conventions of the genre, often overturning the reader’s expectations. In this way, the work explores the paradox inherent to the fact that a poetic form that was by its nature eulogistic (inscriptional epigrams were born in order to record, and thus celebrate, the dedication of an object or the death of a man) ultimately became the genre of mockery and abuse.

This volume provides a much needed foundation on Lucillius, and leads the way for further research on the author and on the skoptic genre."Cosetta Cadau in: Mnemosyne 1/2016 REVIEW "Floridi provides an excellent tool for scholars who wish to learn more about Lucillius and about humour in general in antiquity, as well as about e.g. athletics and social categories.

Cosetta Cadau in: Mnemosyne 1/2016 FROM THE BACK COVER This is the first modern commentary devoted exclusively to the epigrams of Lucillius, a prolific Neronian poet who, in spite of being one of the most significant representatives of the Greek satirical epigram, has primarily been studied not for his own value, but for the influence he had on Martial. The volume contains an extensive introduction, a new critical text and translation, and a full literary and philological commentary. Lucillius’s contribution to the development of the epigram is thus clearly recognised, and new light is shed on the history of the genre, and of humour in general.

  1. I had been searching for a reasonably priced brand new Lawrence of Arabia 4k Steelbook (which is rare to find and sells out quickly) and was happy to find it at this store. Customer service (Caeden) was exceptional at answering my questions and reassured me in my decision to purchase with details such as confirming the UPS and the delivery process to Australia. It arrived on time, well packaged in bubble wrap, in perfect condition and exactly as described. I highly recommend.

  3. El CD vino sellado y es completamente nuevo. Llego en excelentes condiciones, nuevo, aunque el empaque no tenía mucha protección (era un sobre de cartón), pero fue suficiente. El envío demoró, pero sin exceder el límite. En todo caso, el precio del envío fue bastante económico. Estoy muy contento y recomiendo a este vendedor. Sus precios son razonables y la calidad y aspecto de los productos son como los describe.
