	Prudentius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prudentius practised law with some success, and was twice provincial governor, perhaps in his native country, before the emperor Theodosius I summoned him to court.
		Prudentius later collected the Christian poems written during this period and added a preface, which he himself dated 405.
		The poetry of Prudentius is influenced by early Christian authors, such as Tertullian and St.

		Prudentius is concerned to stress the influence of Cyprian throughout the Christian world, which is juxtaposed with the clear and firm location of his tomb in Africa (p.122-125).
		In this case, Prudentius contrasts the way in which the body of the former schismatic and divider of the church, Hippolytus, is torn apart and scattered through a forest with the subsequent re-assembly of his body by his congregation and the unity and communality experienced by worshippers at his tomb in Prudentius' time.
		Prudentius emphasises Peter's role as pastor to the congregation of Rome (pastor oves alit ipse illic gelidi rigore fontis, 12.43).

	Hymns of Prudentius translated by R. Martin Pope
		Prudentius views his past years in the light of that new spiritual truth to which he has opened his soul.
		This then is how Prudentius becomes the first poet of the Christian Church, or, as Bentley called him, "the Virgil and Horace of the Christians." Doubtless there were other influences at work to determine the sphere to which he was naturally attract.
		Seeing that Prudentius must address himself to most English readers through the imperfect medium of a translation, it may be well to remind those who make their first acquaintance with him that a historical imagination is an indispensable condition of interest and sympathy.

	Christian Iconography
		Prudentius' story is so gruesome that modern readers might consider it a lurid and sadistic male fantasy, as it surely is in the Waterhouse painting of 1885.
		But in Prudentius there is just one dove, white as snow and explicitly interpreted as her soul, which emerges triumphantly from her mouth at the moment of her death and rises with swift assurance to Heaven.
		Indeed, Prudentius' classical verse functions like that snow, enmantling the saint in rhetorical luminosity and witnessing that she is emphatically not an object of either prurience or pity.

		While Prudentius' Psychomachia has often drawn the attention of literary critics interested in the history and theory of allegory, the LP has lain in relative obscurity, perhaps because in generic terms, it is in a class by itself.
		Prudentius dramatizes the hermeneutical process above all as one of decoding inscriptions that are scarcely intelligible.
		By contrast, for Prudentius, tangible experiences of nature, cities, architecture, shrines and visual art are all captured as vividly as possible in the here and now of poetic expression.

	Prudentius
		Prudentius was born in Caesaraugusta (Saragosse), Spain; he practiced law, held two provincial governorships, and was awarded a high position by the Roman emperor Theodosius.
		The Dittochaeon ("The Double Testament"), 49 quatrains intended as captions for the murals of a basilica in Rome, is of interest mainly to art historians.
		His poetry's content was derived from early Christian authors, such as Tertullian and St. Ambrose, and from the Bible and the Acts of the Martyrs.

	Denver Journal - 2:0602 - Hymns of Prudentius - The Cathemerinon, or The Daily Round
		Everything known about the life of Aurelius Prudentius Clemens is contained in a 45 verse introduction to his collection of hymns that he published in 405 C.E. when he was 57 years old.
		It was while touring Rome, with its combination of monuments both classical and Christian, that Prudentius vowed to spend the remainder of his life writing hymns in praise of God for an audience that was more familiar with the literature of the classical past than with Scripture-based Christianity.
		Prudentius wrote these hymns at the beginning of the fifth century when monasticism, with its regimen of prescribed hours for daily prayer, song and spiritual reading, was beginning to make inroads into Latin-speaking urban culture in the western Roman Empire.

		Any estimate of Prudentius must include a recognition of certain defects in his works, notably the length and prolixity of his hymns, the crude realism in his descriptions of the torments of the martyrs, the long declamatory speeches, the unreality of his allegory, and his excessive use of alliteration and assonance.
		Prudentius has still greater claims to greatness, however, in the Christian thought and inspiration of his poetry.
		A recent critic has declared with truth that Prudentius is ‘first a Catholic and only in the second place a poet.’ His faith is that of the Nicene Creed.

	Marc Mastrangelo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This paper argues that from the first line of the Psychomachia to its epilogue, Prudentius programmatically engages Aeneid 6, in an effort to transform the political, ethical, and metaphysical landscape of Vergil’s master narrative.
		The descent of the epic hero, Aeneas, to the underworld, an exercise in self-definition and a harbinger of national and spiritual identity, provides the basis for the Psychomachia’s narrative, as well as for the rite of passage which its poet and reader must complete to reach their individual, and national, Christian identity.
		Specifically, Prudentius’ manipulation of the notion of katabasis as a trial, permits the Christian poet to appropriate several epic categories, such as the source of poetic inspiration, theology, the hero, and national identity.

		Prudentius may have his limitations as a poet, but what is the point of rendering his work in this faint English doggerel?
		Prudentius is, first and last, a believer: "With voice at least let my soul honor God, if with good deeds she cannot," he declares in his own preface.
		As a translator of Latin hymns, Slavitt hopes "that purity of heart will somehow help" resolve the complex, paradoxical needs of "talent, intelligence, sophistication, and erudition," placed in the service of "honesty and innocence." His way is the way of poetry rather than of religion.

		Prudentius' Peristephanon is a collection of martyr texts from a vital period in the growth of martyr cult in the West.
		The author examines how Prudentius creates an idiom to express devotion to the martyrs, particularly in the structuring of marrative and the use of poetic language.
		Roberts concludes by demonstrating how Prudentius employs the model of martyr cult to articulate the status of Christian literature, the role of the bishop in the Christian community, and the symbolic status of Rome in the Christian West.

		Born in Spain in the fourth century, Aurelius Prudentius Clemens held a position of considerable authority in the Roman imperial administration.

		Prudentius wrote two collections of hymns: the Cathemerinon Liber and the Peristephanon.

	Biblical Magi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Both of these report gifts being given by kings, and this has played a central role in the inaccurate perception of the magi as kings, rather than as astronomer-priests.
		In a hymn of the late 4th-century Iberian poet Prudentius, the three gifts have already gained their medieval interpretation as prophetic emblems of Jesus' identity, familiar in the carol "We Three Kings" (John Henry Hopkins, Jr.
		Many different theories of the meaning and symbolism of the gifts have been advanced, since while gold is fairly obviously explained, frankincense, and particularly myrrh, are much more obscure.

	St. Prudentius Galindo - Catholic Online
		Fleeing to Gaul to escape the Moors, he changed his name to Prudentius and studied in the Palatine school.
		Elected bishop of Troyes in 840 or 845, he soon acquired a sparkling reputation for his erudition, and the formidable Hincmar, bishop of Reims, recruited his aid during the controversy involving the theologian Gottschalk of Fulda.
		Prudentius only added to the controversy when he defended the Augustinianism of Gottschalk in preaching a double predestination and denying the general saving will of Christ.
