Le "catharisme" en questions ed. by Jean-Louis Biget et al. (review)

Abstract

torical moment to which it speaks. Of particular interest to Latinists, furthermore, will be De Jong and Lake’s discussion of the Epitaphium’s parallels with Ambrose of Milan’s De excessu fratris sui Satyri, a funeral oration that Ambrose composed in the year 378 on the occasion of his own brother’s death. Connections to this earlier text have gone virtually unnoticed by previous editors and translators of the Epitaphium. Yet Paschasius’s extensive intertextual borrowing (made patent in extensive notes to the body of the translation) proves crucial to De Jong and Lake’s arguments for Paschasius’s planned composition of the two books.
