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.
