    A Consul for a Heavenly Rome: Reclaiming Aristocratic Virtue in Prudentius, Peristephanon 2.Mattias Gassman - 2024 - Hermes 152 (1):100-113.
    At Peristephanon 2.549-560, Prudentius depicts St. Laurence as consul in a heavenly Rome. This extraordinary passage achieves two purposes. First, it links the celebration of Rome’s conversion to the concluding prayer. By looking toward the martyr in heavenly glory, Prudentius can make his prayer heard despite his separation from the martyr’s body. Laurence’s exaltation also qualifies aristocratic ambitions. Prudentius glories in the Senate’s conversion, but senatorial lifestyles were at odds with his ideals (as Laurence’s denunciation of the rich underscores). (...)

    Textkritische Bemerkungen zu Prudentius, Peristephanon 10.Christian Gnilka - 2022 - Hermes 150 (4):467-496.
    We hold a rather recent commentary on Prudentius, Peristephanon, which Pierre-Yves Fux provided in two volumes (2003 and 2013). The commentary proves that the text by Prudentius contains undissolved problems as to its criticism and exegesis. The following remarks refer to the poem on the martyr Romanus (perist. 10). It becomes clear that a part of the damage of the text that has been handed down to us is caused by conscious interference, which goes back to Late Antiquity.

    Female Pain in Prudentius’ Peristephanon.Jacqueline Clarke - 2021 - Classical Quarterly 71 (1):386-401.
    Within Prudentius’Peristephanonthere are three main episodes which focus upon the torture and/or death of women: the torture and death of Eulalia inPerist. 3, that of Encratis inPerist. 4 and the death of Agnes inPerist. 14. This article compares the variety and types of pain that these women are depicted as undergoing during their martyrdoms, analysing the extent to which gender and sexuality play a role in their responses to pain or to the threat of it. The article first examines the (...)

    Elegiac memorial and the martyr as medium in Prudentius' peristephanon.Ian Fielding - 2014 - Classical Quarterly 64 (2):808-820.
    In thePeristephanon, a collection of hymns in praise of the Christian martyrs, the Spanish poet Aurelius Prudentius Clemens refers back to a time more than a hundred years before he was writing, when Christianity was not the predominant influence in the Roman world but the religion of a beleaguered minority. In the course of Prudentius' lifetime, the trials that were suffered by that minority under emperors such as Decius and Diocletian became an important point of reference for increasing numbers of (...)

    Dal racconto storico-agiografico alla riscrittura poetica.Roberta Franchi - 2020 - Augustinianum 60 (2):399-426.
    Peristephanon X, a hymn on the martyrdom of St. Romanus of Antioch, may be considered the masterpiece of Prudentius’ poetry on the Christian martyrs. Romanus is represented as a Christian hero. As a rhetor, he defends his faith against paganism as if he were a lawyer; as a martyr, he follows Christ’s example in accepting torture and death. Prudentius’ poetry aims to stimulate and revivify the Christian belief of his audience.

    Die Matrone Cornelia und der Märtyrerbischof Cyprian.Johannes Breuer - 2021 - Hermes 149 (1):104.
    In the last years, there has been an increasing interest in the Christian poet Prudentius and his literary technique. This article wants to show that Propertius’s elegy 4.11, the so-called regina elegiarum, is a crucial intertext for Prudentius, Peristephanon 13. Numerous lexical and motivic references to the Propertian text regarding the matrone Cornelia render it plausible that Prudentius wanted his recipients to read his poem about the Carthagian martyr bishop Cyprian while bearing in mind the Propertian intertext. Furthermore, by (...)
