Gregorio di Nazianzo, Sulla malattia (carm. II,1,50)
Introduzione, testo critico, traduzione e commento
By (author) R. Ricceri
This book presents the first critical edition of Gregory of Nazianzus’ <i>carm.</i> II,1,50 <i>On the illness</i>, one of the so-called <i>Carmina de seipso</i> written by one of the most influential Church Fathers and Christian authors of the fourth century. The book investigates the transmission of <i>carm.</i> II,1,50, within the complex manuscript tradition of Gregory’s <i>Carmina</i>. The introduction provides a thorough examination of the poem’s composition, genre, and literary features. It also offers a novel examination of the distinctive characteristics of the elegiac distich in Christian poetry. An extensive commentary compares <i>carm.</i> II,1,50 with various parallels from Gregory’s own poetry and from a broader literary tradition, encompassing both pagan and Christian sources. Key intertextual references are incorporated into the commentary and presented in an <i>apparatus fontium</i>. Furthermore, this volume includes two previously unedited Byzantine paraphrases, shedding light on the long-lasting appreciation for this work throughout the Byzantine millennium.
