Anmerkungen zum Text der Grabinschrift für Bertoldus mercator (Urbanskirche, Meißen-Cölln), AfE 1, 2021, 23–28

Eine der ältesten erhaltenen Inschriften im heutigen Meißner Stadtgebiet befindet sich auf einer Grabplatte, die seit ihrer Wiederauffindung in einem Abstellraum der Urbanskirche in Meißen-Cölln 1993 ebendort an der Nordwand des Langhauses zu finden ist. Die rechteckige Grabplatte befindet sich allgemein in einem guten Zustand, jedoch fehlen der untere Rand und Teile der Seitenränder, sodass der Sterbevermerk nicht mehr vollständig erhalten ist. In diesem kurzen Beitrag möchte ich insbesondere zur Rekonstruktion dieses Teils der Inschrift einen Vorschlag machen. One of the oldest preserved inscriptions in the Meissen area today is found on a grave slab, which since its recovery in a storeroom of the Urbanskirche in Meissen-Cölln in 1993 can be found there on the north wall of the nave. The rectangular grave slab is generally in good condition, but the lower edge and parts of the side edges are missing, so that the death note is no longer completely preserved. In this short article, I would like to make a proposal especially for the reconstruction of this part of the inscription

Greek and Latin Poetry of Late Antiquity. Form, Tradition, and Context, ed. Berenice Verhelst/Tine Scheijnen (2022), Plekos 25, 2023, 327–339

The volume under review is based on the premise that there is no real dialogue between Greek and Latin studies on the literature (and especially on the poetry) of Late Antiquity, at least not a dialogue as intense as with regard to the earlier, 'classical' literature. The reason for this is not least the problem that mutual dependencies between these two traditions are more difficult to prove in late antiquity. The common goal of the contributions in this volume is to leave aside this problem and to adopt a comparative perspective instead. ..

‚Irasci me tibi scito‘. Augustus und sein Verhältnis zu Horaz im Spiegel der Fragmente seiner Privatkorrespondenz, ‚Augustus immortalis‘. (...), ed. Jessica Bartz/Martin Müller/Rolf Frank Sporleder (Berlin 2020), 81–88

While the Res Gestae are understood as an important source for the life and work of Augustus, Henning Ohst presents letters of the Princeps. These have survived only in fragments and through other authors, but still offer research opportunities for new questions. The focus of the contribution is the relationship of the Princeps to poets such as Horace. Ohst examines by what means the ancient authors make it clear that they are quotations, and what role the quotations play in the texts in question. On the one hand, they are authentic testimonies of Augustus, on the other hand, they have to be analyzed for their purpose for the respective work
