  2. 21. Proba the Prophet: Studies in the Christian Virgilian Cento of Faltonia Betitia Proba

    Author : Sigrid Schottenius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Proba; Cento; Virgil; early Christian poetry; Bible epic; querelle des femmes; author; reception; typology; hypotextuality.;

    Abstract : The present study aims to deepen the critical understanding of the fourth century poet Faltonia Betitia Proba’s Cento and its reception, a text of considerable historical and cultural importance. Not only is it one of few extant Latin texts from antiquity by a woman writer, but it is also one of our oldest Christian Latin poems; it is an early example of cultural amalgamation of the Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman exegetical and literary traditions in that it is almost exclusively composed with verses from Virgil’s Aeneid, Georgics, and Eclogues, but narrates key episodes from the Old and New Testament.
