Review(s)
« Une fois de plus, la collection Studi e testi tardoantichi offre un volume d'une grande qualité, qui propose des études littéraires approfondies sur un large choix d'auteurs tardifs. » (Marie-Pierre Bussières, dans Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019.07.23)
« F.E. Consolino terminait son introduction en espérant que le livre qu’elle éditait serait le point de départ de nouvelles recherches « which will make it possible to shed more light on Ovid’s place in late antiquity » (p. 16). Avec l’exemple de Jordanès on voit combien en effet ce travail est inspirant. Il ne reste plus qu’à souhaiter qu’elle soit entendue ! » (Lucienne Deschamps, dans Revue des Études Anciennes, 121/1, 2019, p. 289)
« L'ouvrage présente une belle unité, car chaque contribution converge pour démontrer l'excellente connaissance d'Ovide qu'eurent les auteurs latins de l'Antiquité tardive. Il présente aussi une grande diversité due au nombre d'auteurs abordés et à leurs différentes personnalités littéraires. Les analyses sont rigoureuses, abordant le problème avec les outils de la littérature comparée, de la statistique, de l'analyse linguistique ou encore de la métrique. Les notes en bas de pages sont nombreuses et précises. La bibliographie est abondante. » (Pascal Tonnaer, dans Les Études Classiques, 89, 2021, p. 432)
“Con tutto cio`, gli spunti di rilettura di molti autori non mancano; soprattutto, pro[1]prio in questo senso il volume assoda un approccio produttivo nei confronti della letteratura di eta`tarda in un ampio arco cronologico, fornendo indicazioni metodologiche di rilievo in diversi cam[1]pi interpretativi. ” (Fabio Gasti, in Athenaeum, 111/1, 2023, p. 306)

Summary
The 2000th anniversary of Ovid's death was celebrated in 2017, and Ovid in Late Antiquity aims to mark the occasion. This book embodies a specific approach to Ovid's oeuvre, which is not analysed in and of itself, but rather in its role as a wellspring of inspiration to which later authors would return time and again. Covering the work of a number of authors, who found their way back to Ovid via different methodological pathways, the research distilled in this book is geared towards exploring the ways in which the authors of Late Antiquity interacted with the poet of the Metamorphoses and with his immense, multifaceted output. The choice of this approach arose out of an awareness that the presence and influence of Ovid in late antiquity constitute aspects of the Ovidian legacy that would benefit from a more in-depth exploration. The essays in this collection are intended to help filling this gap.
