Ausgangspunkt des aus einer internationalen Tagung hervorgegangenen Sammelbandes ist die These, dass den Kaiserviten des lateinischen Biographen C. Suetonius Tranquillus nicht nur wertvolle Einblicke in die frühkaiserzeitliche Geschichte zu entnehmen, sondern auch einzigartige literarische Ansprüche zuzuerkennen sind. Zur Überprüfung bedienen sich die acht einander ergänzenden, literaturwissenschaftlich ausgerichteten Beiträge des Bandes des Instrumentariums der Narratologie. Untersucht werden u.a. die Multiperspektivität des biographischen Erzählens und die Doppel- bzw. Mehrfacherzählungen; die Darstellungsart negativer Kaiserbilder; syntaktische Besonderheiten (phrases à rallonge) und literarische Zitate; die wechselseitige Wirkung von Strukturen auf Mikro- und Makroebene. So wird insgesamt ein breiter Überblick über die Erzähltechniken von De vita Caesarum geboten, der ein partiell neues Bild Suetons als Literat entwirft und für Forscher*innen zur antiken Literatur ebenso wie für die Allgemeine Literaturwissenschaft von Interesse sein dürfte. Mit Beiträgen von Nicoletta Bruno, Margherita Fantoli, Edoardo Galfré, Matthias Grandl, Robert Kirstein, Alessio Mancini, Dennis Pausch, Verena Schulz.

The Last Supper-oft referred to as The Lord's Supper, Communion, or the Eucharist-is one of the sacraments celebrated in Christian churches as a means of communing with Jesus and as a commemoration of His death. But whether or not one is a Christian, when The Last Supper is mentioned, inevitably the iconic painting by Leonardo da Vinci springs to mind. It has become a part of our collective consciousness.Created toward the end of the 15th century, da Vince painted in the mode of the day, so while the beloved masterpiece is most certainly great art, it is not particularly good history. In fact, Leonardo got it all wrong. The question must be asked, was it intentional or did he have an ulterior motive?Conspiracy theorists point to esoteric connections hidden in the picture. Magdalene cults found Mary as one of the desciples. Musical scholars found examples of Pythagorean musical ratios. Numerologists find the painting to be a playground of numerical references. There have been reported connections between da Vinci and secret cults. And of course there is Dan Brown's wildly popular international bestselling novel, The DaVinci Code. Literally thousands of theologians have attempted to explain the Christian symbolism and truth in the picture and to name the disciples as they sit in the picture.Regardless of how beloved or revered the painting was and is, apart from its symbolic representation, it was not a true representation of the real Last Supper.

"Wohlan denn, mache dich frei von allen Vorurteilen, die deinen Geist gefangen halten, lege ab die trügerische Gewohnheit und werde wie im Anfang ein neuer Mensch, da du ja auch nach deinem eigenen Geständnisse Hörer einer neuen Lehre sein wirst; schaue nicht bloß mit den Augen, sondern auch mit dem Verstande, welches Wesen und welche Gestalt die Götter haben, die ihr so nennt und an die ihr glaubt."So beginnt Mathetes seinen Brief an Diognet und Justin beendet seine zweite Apologie an den Senat mit den Worten:"Sobald ihr nun dieses Büchlein genehmigt habt, möchten wir es allen zugänglich machen, damit sie womöglich anderen Sinnes werden; einzig zu diesem Zwecke haben wir die vorliegenden Abhandlungen abgefaßt."Dazwischen erleben wir die wortreichen, freimütigen Verteidigungsbriefe der ersten Apologeten zur Widerlegung aller Vorurteile und zur gerechneten Beurteilung aller Christen, die der Staat ungerecht hinrichtet.

With impressive literary power, the acclaimed historical novelist and critic Robert Graves tells the story of the tragic and eventful life of Marie Powell, who, at the age of sixteen, was pushed into marrying the man who was England's greatest epic poet--and knew it--John Milton. "A thumping good read." --E.M. Forster At the age of sixteen, Mary Powell marries poet John Milton. Their marriage, which plays out during the English Civil War, is not one of love, but rather a practical arrangement that proves to be a devastating mismatch of temperaments and convictions. Her Royalist sympathies and his ardent parliamentarianism, her independence, and his austere way of life, 1640s England is a hotbed of clashing ideologies and so too is this marriage. The story, which unfolds in Marie's sensitive and searching journals, is a scathing portrait of one of England's most famous poets, a story of literary ambition and masculine egoism, and, like all of Graves' historical novels, a monumental achievement of closely watched history. One the one hand, this is a tender story of the romance Marie Powell found outside the walls of her tyrannical husband's house. On the other it is also a brilliant account of one of the most breathtaking epochs in English history, when that kingdom was ravaged by a bloody civil war and the tides of fortune swayed from one to the other side of the opposing camps--the King against his parliament, tyranny against freedom--culminating in the dramatic execution of Charles I, and the establishment of a republic.
