How old are the manuscript titles of Latin poems from Antiquity and
Late Antiquity? Why were they written, and who created them? With
these questions, the author enters virgin philological territory.
Her interest is directed at the organisation of ancient texts.She
shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the headings which
subdivide poetry collections and provide preliminary information
for the reader were not invented by medieval scribes or early
modern editors; their development can in fact be traced back to
Classical and Late Antiquity. The headings in Latin poetry
collections handed down through medieval mss. The headings in
collections of Latin poetry handed down through medieval mss.
(incl. Horace, Ovid, Martial, Commodian, Ausonius, Luxurius) are
partly authentic, and were partly added in late Classical
Antiquity. In their function and linguistic form, they can be
compared with book titles and other structural textual devices such
as tables of contents and chapter headings. The present study also
deals with the development of these devices, which are important
for the history of books and of reading habits.
