A professor of Greek rhetoric, frequent letter writer and
influential social figure, Libanius (AD 314 393) is a key author
for anybody interested in Late Antiquity, ancient rhetoric, ancient
epistolography and ancient biography. Nevertheless, he remains
understudied because it is such a daunting task to access his large
and only partially translated oeuvre. This volume, which is the
first comprehensive study of Libanius, offers a critical
introduction to the man, his texts, their context and reception.
Clear presentations of the orations, progymnasmata, declamations
and letters unlock the corpus, and a survey of all available
translations is provided. At the same time, the volume explores new
interpretative approaches of the texts from a variety of angles.
Written by a team of established as well as upcoming experts in the
field, it substantially reassesses works such as the Autobiography,
the Julianic speeches and letters, and Oration 30 For the Temples."
