English description: This book deals with the relationship between antique literary prototypes and their reception in later times. Thus, the title motto, “exempla imitanda,” taken from Emperor Augustus’ record of his life and accomplishments, can be extended to the honoree of this volume, Ernst Baltrusch. Can exempla imitanda be explained as approaches to, or even mastery of, one’s own present? The articles collected here analyze this question from a variety of viewpoints, demonstrating a multi-faceted and vibrant field of research. The book includes many of the broad topics that Ernst Baltusch touched upon during his academic career. German description: Dieses Buch widmet sich der Frage, wie sich das Verhaltnis zwischen einer antiken Vorlage und einer Aufnahme derselben in einer mehr oder weniger entfernten Epoche gestaltet hat. Exempla imitanda lautet daher das dem Tatenbericht des ersten Princeps Augustus entnommene Motto des Bandes, da diese Fragestellung auch das wissenschaftliche Interesse des Jubilars Ernst Baltrusch stark gepragt hat. Sind exempla imitanda als ein Ansatz fur den Umgang mit, ja die Bewaltigung der eigenen Gegenwart zu verstehen? Das wird von den Beitragern des Bandes beleuchtet, angewendet und hinterfragt. Die Vielzahl der zu diesem Zweck gewahlten Ansatze belegt, wie verschieden ein solcher programmatischer Anspruch aufgefasst und umgesetzt werden kann. In diesem Buch sind viele der grossen Themen vertreten, denen sich Ernst Baltrusch in seiner wissenschaftlichen Vita gewidmet hat.
