Rose.In De cura pro mortuis gerenda Augustine interweaves an assessment of burial near the memorial of a martyr with a series of dream narratives. The seeming lack of coherence between argument and narrative in this treatise has puzzled many scholars. Combining an analysis of the overall structure of the argument and a detailed philological commentary, this study shows that Augustine’s text forms a well-composed unity. The study is based on discourse-linguistic and narratological concepts as well as an analysis of the global structure of the narratives. Relying on this combined approach Rose demonstrates how Augustine explores the full breadth of his narrative material in the service of his argument. In addition, this book situates Augustine’s text in its cultural-historical context.Amsterdam Studies in Classical Philology20.BurialEarly works to 1800DeadReligious aspectsChristianityEarly works to 1800Funeral rites and ceremoniesEarly works to 1800Electronic books.BurialEarly works to 1800.DeadReligious aspectsChristianityEarly works to 1800.Funeral rites and ceremoniesEarly works to 1800.236/.1Rose Paula Johanna1968-949342MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462885403321A commentary on Augustine's De cura pro mortuis gerenda2145667UNINA
