Papal Letters and Letter Collections --Contributors --IndexBringing together an international team of historians, classicists, and scholars of religion, this volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the extant Greek and Latin letter collections of late antiquity (ca. 300-600 c.e.). Each chapter addresses a major collection of Greek or Latin literary letters, introducing the social and textual histories of each collection and examining its assembly, publication, and transmission. Contributions also reveal how collections operated as discrete literary genres, with their own conventions and self-presentational agendas. This book will fundamentally change how people both read these texts and use letters to reconstruct the social history of the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries.Classical lettersHistory and criticismLetter writing, ClassicalCivilization, Classical, in literature4th century.5th century.6th century.ancient greece.ancient rome.ancient texts.ancient world.anthology.classicists.classics.correspondence.extant greek.extant latin.historian.history.international.late antiquity.letter collection.letters.literary genres.literary history.literary letters.literary.religious scholars.religious studies.scholar.social history.social studies.Classical lettersHistory and criticism.Letter writing, Classical.Civilization, Classical, in literature.880.09FE 3225rvkSogno Cristianaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStorin Bradley K.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWatts Edward J.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910814826903321Late Antique Letter Collections2651830UNINA
