    This is the first general book on Greek and Latin letter-writing in Late Antiquity (400300-600 CE). Allen and Neil examine early Christian Greek and Latin literary letters, their nature and function and the mechanics of their production and dissemination. They examine the exchange of Episcopal, monastic and imperial letters between men, and the gifts that accompanied them, and the rarer phenomenon of letter exchanges with imperial and aristocratic women. They also look at the transmission of letter-collections and what they can tell us about friendships and other social networks between the powerful elites who were the literary letter-writers of the fourth to sixth centuries. The volume gives a broad context to late-antique literary letter-writing in Greek and Latin in its various manifestations: political, ecclesiastical, practical and social. In the process, the differences between 'pagan' and Christian letter-writing are shown to be not as great as has previously been supposed.

    Publisher:  Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom

    "Late Antiquity - by which we mean the period from 300 to 600 CE - has rightly been called the golden age of epistolography, one which has few equivalents, even taking Cicero, Pliny the Younger, Fronto or Cyprian into account. Mullett notes that... more

    "Late Antiquity - by which we mean the period from 300 to 600 CE - has rightly been called the golden age of epistolography, one which has few equivalents, even taking Cicero, Pliny the Younger, Fronto or Cyprian into account. Mullett notes that fourth- and fifth-century Greek letters make up the majority of Byzantine letters. O'Brien points out that in the third century 177 letters survive from eleven writers in Latin, while from the fourth century the works of twenty-one epistolographers have come down to us in 395 letters, and 933 from forty-one writers from the fifth century, while after the sixth century the number of letters falls off sharply.3 This exponential increase in epistolary activity is all the more surprising given that in the Classical period only eminent and politically active people could afford a private postal service, and the relatively high mortality rate of ancient letters"--
