Mit Sallust Geschichte Schreiben: Inter- Und Hypotextualität in Der Nachantiken Latinität (in German)
Bieritz, Carl-Friedrich
Synopsis "Mit Sallust Geschichte Schreiben: Inter- Und Hypotextualität in Der Nachantiken Latinität (in German)"
What do writings about the German king Henry IV (Bruno of Merseburg), about the failed conquest of Ireland (Gerald of Wales), about the wars led by Frederick Barbarossa (Rahewin) and about the Dutch fight against the Spanish armies (Famiano Strada) have in common? They demonstrate that whatever tasks Latin historiographers were facing, they strived to write captivating history that gave meaning to complex conflicts, wars, political intrigues and upheavals. In doing so, they all employed a range of Sallustian techniques and narratives. This book explores the reception of Sallust in post-antique Europe, illuminating how it can help us understand what constitutes Latin literature and literature in general.
