In this volume twenty-two studies published by Willy Evenepoel in
international journals and collections during the period 1978-2010 have
been brought together, namely two general contributions (one about the
study of early Christian poetry, another about the place of poetry
within Late Antique Christianity), fourteen contributions on Prudentius,
five on Paulinus Nolanus' Carmina natalicia and, finally, one on
Dracontius' De laudibus Dei. The collection does not only enhance
the availability of the contributions in question, it also allows the
readers to get a better perspective on the interconnection between the
contributions at hand. The author has added extra value to the
collection by supplying indices and also by adding a large
critical survey of the recent research on the subjects that are dealt
with in the collection.
