The three first essays in this book trace a direct line of influence between the early Hellenistic scholar-poet Simias of Rhodes, the late Republican Roman experimentalist Laevius and Constantine the Great's virtuoso panegyrist Optatian Porfyry, whereas the fourth essay discusses the preservation and transformation of the model invented by Simias in Byzantium. The Appendix reflects on the triumph of this intellectual paradigm in Neo-Latin Jesuit education by investigating the case of a peripheral yet highly influential Central European college at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This book is at once a contribution to the scholarship on the reception of Hellenistic poetry and to the study of ancien §16§t 'technopaegnia' (i.e. playful poetry) and their cultural influence in Antiquity, Byzantium and post-mediaeval Europe. §13§\"K.s Studie, die von einer Einleitung (1-§16) sowie einer Bibliographie (167-180)§und nützlichen Indices (181-193) flankiert§wird, ist für ihren weit ausgreifenden§Ansatz bei gleichzeitiger Konzentration§auf das Wesentliche sowie philologischer§und textkritischer Liebe zum Detail zu§loben.
