In 1975, when Reinhart Herzog's pioneering study Die Bibelepik der lateinischen Spätantike was published, the subject of biblical poetry written in classical meters in late antiquity and the Middle Ages was not exactly a popular area of study. It would have been hard to imagine then that some four decades later the University of Strasbourg would sponsor a major international symposium devoted to the topic with the support of such prestigious institutions as the Institute d’Études Augustiniennes, the École Nationale des Chartes, and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. In 2018, over thirty scholars from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States converged on Strasbourg to consider the significance of Juvencus, Sedulius, Arator, and other poets whose names have become far less obscure now than they were in the 1970s. The unifying purpose of the symposium was to show “how poetic form and exegetical-theological content support each other” (vi) in a wide variety of such texts written across the centuries, not only in late antiquity but well into the later Middle Ages. In the past, patrologists traditionally focused on prose (doctrinal treatises, sermons, creeds, and so forth), while classicists tended to ignore the large body of Christian verse written in Greek and Latin. This volume represents a significant attempt to fill the lacuna. While the proceedings of this symposium may not provide a systematic treatment of such a complex phenomenon, they do testify clearly to the vitality of a scholarly movement that shows no signs of losing momentum.
