Claudii Marii Victoris Oratoris Massiliensis Alethia... [Latin]

By Cladius Marius Victor

Claudii Marii Victoris Oratoris Massiliensis Alethia... is a meticulously edited and presented edition of the Latin poem "Alethia" by Claudius Marius Victor, a 5th-century orator from Marseille. This edition, prepared by Karl Schenke and Jean de Gaigny, offers readers access to a significant work of late antique literature that retells stories from the Old Testament in elegant Latin verse.

"Alethia," meaning "Truth," showcases Victor's skillful adaptation of biblical narratives into classical poetic form, providing valuable insights into the intersection of classical literary traditions and early Christian culture. This edition is essential for students and scholars interested in Latin poetry, late antiquity, and the reception of biblical themes in classical literature. It represents a fascinating example of how classical forms were used to convey Christian messages, making it a valuable resource for understanding the intellectual landscape of the period.
