| Summary |
Die Florida, eine Anthologie aus 23 Reden, die Apuleius aus Madauros vorwiegend in Karthago in den Jahren nach 160 n. Chr. hielt, bieten einen reichen Schatz an Material über epideiktische Rhetorik, Mittelplatonismus sowie das öffentliche und geistige Leben in der nordafrikanischen Provinzmetropole. Der Kommentar stellt das Werk nicht nur in den kulturhistorischen Kontext, sondern untersucht auch das Besondere an Apuleius' Sprache und Stil. Die reichhaltigen und eingehenden intertextuellen Bezüge der Florida zur früheren griechischen und römischen Literatur werden ebenso umfassend gewürdigt wie die ausdrücklichen Verbindungen des Werkes zum Mittelplatonismus, zur Zweiten Sophistik und zum übrigen Werk des Apuleius, insbesondere zu seinen philosophischen Schriften |

The Florida, an anthology of 23 orations that Apuleius of Madauros delivered primarily in Carthage during the 160's A.D., offers a rich store of evidence about epideictic rhetoric, Middle Platonism, and the civic and intellectual life of the North African provincial metropolis. In addition to locating the work in its historical and cultural context, this commentary investigates Apuleius' remarkable language and style. Full attention is given to the rich and complex intertextual relationship of the Florida to earlier Greek and Roman literature, as well as to the work's extensive links to Middle Platonism, the Second Sophistic, and the rest of the Apuleian corpus, particularly his philosophical works |
