Paulinus of Nola might not be very widely read today, even among professional classicists, but he remains the most popular Latin poet in his adopted hometown. At the Christian basilica complex in Cimitile, near Nola, where Paulinus founded a community for ascetic devotees of the cult of St. Felix in the late fourth century, his poetry is still recited publicly on a number of festive days each year. On a recent visit to Cimitile, I found myself in the audience at one of these narrazioni, which had been organized as a prelude to the Festa dei Gigli, held annually in Paulinus’ honor on June 22. For a group of local residents, gathered around the tomb of Felix in the basilica uetus, an actor read passages from an Italian translation of Paulinus’ carmina, which were then subjected to theological exposition by the Vicar General of the Diocese of Nola. Even now, therefore, Paulinus’ poems, with their straightforward diction and everyday subject matter, are seen as an appropriate vehicle for inspiring religious devotion in the lay community. It is not difficult to imagine a similar scene at Cimitile when Paulinus himself was leading the festivities, 1600 years ago. Still, this modern recitation raises questions about how the Natalicia—that is, the series of poems he composed for Felix's feast day each January 14—were performed in their original context. Presumably, Paulinus would have delivered the Natalicia on his own, without the assistance of actors—but would he have recited all 858 verses of Natalicium 13 (for example), or would he only have presented excerpts? Would the readings have been supplemented by any commentary—theological, or even literary?

Τα Παρακλαυσίθυρα Στη Βουκολική Ποίηση Και Η Σχέση Τους Με Τον Μίμο

H παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή διερευνά τα βουκολικά παρακλαυσίθυρα και τη σχέση τους με τον Μίμο, κυρίως μέσα από τη συνεξέταση των παρακλαυσίθυρων των βουκολικών συλλογών του Θεόκριτου, του Βιργιλίου, του Καλπούρνιου, του Νεμεσιανού και των ανώνυμων αποσπασμάτων Μίμων της ύστερης ελληνιστικής εποχής και της αυτοκρατορικής περιόδου. Η επίδραση του Μίμου στη βουκολική ποίηση έχει αναγνωρισθεί από πολλούς μελετητές, ωστόσο η παρούσα εργασία στοχεύει, μέσα από την συστηματική εξέταση των παρακλαυσιθυρικών τόπων και συμβάσεων, στη διερεύνηση της εξέλιξης και λειτουργίας του είδους του Μίμου. Σε δεύτερο και ισοσθενές επίπεδο ελέγχεται η επιστημολογική χρησιμότητα της διάκρισης ανάμεσα στον λογοτεχνικό και τον λεγόμενο ‘‘λαϊκό’’ Μίμο.
