Centones Christiani. Metamorphoses of an intertextual form in the Christian Latin poetry of Late Antiquity

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The first monograph to survey the cento poetry combining Vergilian material with Biblical content. Far more than a mere quote collage, the centones represent a intertextual literary form whose aim is to link the classical and the Christian culture.
