| مستخلص: |
The programmatic opening letter 1.1 of Sidonius Apollinaris' correspondence is clearly inspired by the opening letter of Pliny the Younger's correspondence. This article, however, argues that it can only be fully understood when read against a combination of Pliny's letters 1.1, 1.2, and 1.5. Plin. Ep. 1.2 raises the issue of editing and publishing speeches, which Sidonius explicitly applies to bringing out a letter collection, as well as the eminently important discussion of a literary canon in which Cicero plays a crucial role for both authors. In Sidonius' opening letter, Cicero's appearance is cloaked in a strangely farcical guise which, however, becomes transparent once read against the foil of Plin. Ep. 1.5. Cicero then appears as a symbol of non-conformist behaviour which is at the basis of Sidonius' editorial project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
