Pliny the Younger, the author of a comprehensive epistolary collection and a panegyric speech for the emperor Trajan, enjoyed an extraordinary fortune in antiquity and subsequent periods. In recent years, Pliny has undergone a significant reappraisal – especially in literary studies. Apart from classical philology, he is of great interest for many other fields such as ancient history, epigraphy, archaeology, art history, visual studies, legal studies, sociology, comparative studies, gender studies as well as didactics and pedagogy. This volume, containing German and Italian contributions, offers new approaches to a ‘classic’ from a variety of different perspectives, taking into account a wide range of disciplines.
Plinius der Jungere hat als Autor einer umfassenden Briefsammlung und einer Lobrede auf den Kaiser Trajan ein fast ununterbrochenes Fortleben genossen: Seine Werke sind in der Antike und seit der fruhen Neuzeit sowohl Modell fur Epistolographie als auch Vorlage fur verschiedene Furstenspiegel gewesen. Er kann daher als eine zentrale Figur der europaischen Literatur und Geistesgeschichte gesehen werden. In den letzten Jahren hat vor allem die klassisch-philologische Forschung Plinius als literarische Gestalt neu bewertet. Weil seine Werke jedoch nicht nur fur die Klassische Philologie von Belang sind, sondern auch fur die Alte Geschichte, Epigraphik, Archaologie, Kunstgeschichte, Visual Studies, Rechtswissenschaft, Soziologie, Komparatistik, Fachdidaktik und Gender Studies, bieten die Beitrager dieses deutsch-italienischen Sammelbandes eine Zusammenschau von unterschiedlichen Zugriffen auf einen “Klassiker” der fruhen romischen Kaiserzeit. Mit Beitragen von: Gianpaolo Angelini, Anna Anguissola, Alberto Canobbio, Thorsten Fogen, Bardo Gauly, Judith Hindermann, Irene Leonardis, Elena Merli, Cosima Moller, Margot Neger, Stefano Rocchi, Silvia Speriani, Giulio Vannini, Gregor Vogt-Spira
