Die Valerius Maximus-Epitome Des Ianuarius Nepotianus - Hardcover

by Rainer Jakobi (Author)

The book contains a new critical edition of the incomplete late antique epitome of Valerius Maximus by Ianuarius Nepotianus as well as a first edition of the fragments of books III-IX of Valerius Maximus still preserved in Landulfus Sagax. In the exegetical commentary, the text-critical decisions are justified and the late antique Latinity of the text is analysed. In addition to the exempla collection of Valerius Maximus, republican and imperial authors such as Cicero, Livy and Quintilian are used.
