Combining faithfulness to the Latin with sensitivity to Prudentius'
poetic qualities, Nicholas Richardson offers a precise yet creative
verse translation of a major work by one of the most important
Christian Latin poets of late antiquity. Prudentius' Hymns for
Hours and Seasons also provides readers with a wealth of supporting
material which sets the life and output of this poet in its
historical, religious and literary context, outlines manuscript and
editorial details, discusses metrics and Latinity, and also gives a
sense of the individual hymns of the Cathemerinon. Richardson's
fresh translation allows readers unfamiliar with Latin to
understand and interpret the poems, as well as offering those who
know Latin a translation that keeps very close to the original
text. Detailed notes at the end of the book illuminate both the
literary and the religious aspects of each hymn. This commentary,
along with the introduction and translated text, provides students
and scholars alike with a comprehensive volume on one of the key
works of later Latin poetry.
