Book Description
Prudentius (b. 348 c.e.), one of the greatest Latin poets of late antiquity, was also a devoted Christian. His allegorical masterpiece, Psychomachia, combines epic language and theological speculation to offer a powerful vision of Roman and Christian triumphalism. Yet this important work—one of the most popular and influential poems of the Middle Ages—is unfamiliar to most contemporary students of Latin. This edition, featuring the first full-length English commentary on the poem, makes Psychomachia accessible to modern learners. In his wide-ranging introduction, Aaron Pelttari examines the life of Prudentius, the world of late antiquity, and the structure of Psychomachia, along with its aims, reception, and manuscript transmission. The Latin text includes an apparatus criticus, and the corresponding commentary covers points of textual, grammatical, literary, and historical interest. Following the commentary are two appendices: an explanation of the poem’s meter, and a glossary of rhetorical and literary terms. A bibliography and a complete Latin-to-English glossary round out the volume. Ten illustrations enrich the text by showcasing medieval illuminations and early editions of the poem. Ideally suited for intermediate and advanced students of Latin, this volume is also useful for instructors and scholars, who will welcome its lucid interpretation of the poem and expert guidance on difficult passages. With its concise yet carefully considered format, The Psychomachia of Prudentius will be a welcome addition to scholarship on late antique Latin literature.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Syntactic, Stylistic and Metrical Study of Prudentius: A Thesis Presented to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The object of the present work is twofold first, a study of t syntactical and metrical usage of Prudentius, and, to a certa extent, of his style, together with a brief introduction on the Form and secondly, a comparison of the latinity of that author with t latinity of Juvencus, an author of the same country and of t same century; to ascertain wherein they are alike and in wh they differ, and to determine in this way the relation of Prudenti to his predecessor, aiming throughout to throw some light up the latinity of the age. In order to facilitate such a compariso the investigation has been pursued on parallel lines to tho followed by Hatfield in his study of Juvencus, a plan based f the most part upon Draeger's Syntax und Stil des Tacitus. Comparisons are also made at different points with the usage Vergil, more particularly in 112, 113, 118, 119, 141, 14 143; and with the usage of Horace in 146. Parallel pa sages in other authors have also been added by way of illustr tion. Chiefly through the assistance of the valuable indices of t volumes in the Vienna Corpus Script. Ecol. Lat.
