Full Description

The earliest European specimens of visual poetry are found in the
literature of the ancient Greeks: these are six famous technopaegnia,
which were composed between the end of the fourth century BC and the
first half of the second century AD by poets such as Simias of Rhodes, a
scholar-poet and precursor of Callimachus, or Iulius Vestinus, an
important official at Hadrian's court. The present book provides an
edition of the six Greek figure poems, which is accompanied by an
extensive commentary and the introduction to various aspects of this
mini-genre. This is the first such comprehensive treatment of the six technopaegnia
in 125 years.
