Nemesians Lehrgedicht über die Jagd, 283/84 n. Chr. entstanden, orientiert sich in Aufbau und Konzeption an Vergils Georgica, dem klassischen Gattungsmodell; in der Auffassung von der Jagd als einem Freizeitsport bietet das Werk einen unheroischen Gegenentwurf zu früheren Jagdgedichten. Die kritische Neuedition ist mit einem ausführlichen philologischen Detailkommentar verbunden. Berücksichtigung finden aber auch übergeordnete Fragen wie das Verhältnis zur kynegetischen Fachliteratur, gattungsreferenzielle Aspekte und das Selbstverständnis des Autors.

This is the second volume of an anthology of Latin poetry. The two-volume anthology covers a period of four and a half centuries, beginning with the work of the mime-writer Publilius Syrus, who flourished ca. 45 BCE, and ending with the graphic and charming poem of Rutilius Namatianus recording a sea voyage from Rome to Gaul in 416 CE. A wide variety of theme gives interest to the poems: hunting in a poem of Grattius; an inquiry into the causes of volcanic activity by the author of Aetna; pastoral poems by Calpurnius Siculus and by Nemesianus; fables by Avianus; a collection of Dicta, moral sayings, as if by the elder Cato; eulogy in Laus Pisonis; and the legend of the Phoenix, a poem of the fourth century. Other poets complete the work.
