This two-book set delineates the history of Traditions about the antiquities of the Phlegraean Fields northwest of Naples through a combination of textual, historical, art historical, and cultural investigations. It is, therefore, an attempt to view these important antiquities and the traditions concerning them from a comprehensive and synthetic view to provide one example of the influence of the classical world on later ages. The study ranges from antiquity itself to the present, but its major focus will be on the Middle Ages through the seventeenth century.
Reviews
“For the first time in the critical study of Peter of Eboli’s opus, Professor Thomas establishes the text of his poem on balneotherapy based upon the diligent study of every surviving known manuscript. Several of these she has brought to light herself in recent years. This means that we now have a text that considers every one of the twenty-eight known manuscript variants, and maps the complex relationships between them…She presents us with a text that scholars and translators can use as the foundation for a reliable analysis of this splendid poem’s many fascinating topoi.
Through her carefully layered analyses, we begin to understand more fully the interests and textual influences of reigning patron families in the Neapolitan area, including Hohenstaufen, Angevin, and Aragonese rules, and those scribes and scholars orbiting within their literary circles.
