3. 2. Proba the Prophet: Studies in the Christian Virgilian Cento of Faltonia Betitia Proba

   Sammanfattning : The present study aims to deepen the critical understanding of the fourth century poet Faltonia Betitia Proba’s Cento and its reception, a text of considerable historical and cultural importance. Not only is it one of few extant Latin texts from antiquity by a woman writer, but it is also one of our oldest Christian Latin poems; it is an early example of cultural amalgamation of the Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman exegetical and literary traditions in that it is almost exclusively composed with verses from Virgil’s Aeneid, Georgics, and Eclogues, but narrates key episodes from the Old and New Testament.
