Schweigen in Versen: Text, #x000DC;bersetzung und Studien zu den Schweigegedichten Gregors von Nazianz (II,1,34A/B)

The little–researched poetry of Gregory of Nazianzus reflects a remarkable interweaving of Judeo–Christian thought and the Greek–Pagan poetic tradition. This book includes a bilingual edition and analysis of the imagery in the double–poem “On Silence During Lent” (Carm. II,1,34A/B), a work that offers an especially vivid illustration of the often innovative interposition of different traditions.
