Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk

This chapter provides a short commentary on the cycle of four poems on John Klimax, edited in the preceding article. The main goal is to clarify the structure of the poems and to reveal their meaning by disclosing the most noteworthy intertextual references. The contribution is concluded by a discussion of the important influence of Gregory of Nazianzos on this cycle. For an extended commentary, focusing also on the syntactical peculiarities and providing a detailed analysis of the many intertextual references present in the cycle see R. Meesters, The Afterlife of John Klimax in Byzantine Book Epigrams: Edition, Translation and Commentary of Two Poetic Cycles (Ghent: PhD dissertation, 2017).
