Description
Summary:The article takes a closer look at the simile of the goat and the vine in Sedulius’ Carmen paschale 5.215-16, an allegory representing the robber who harasses Christ on the cross with his insults. The verse is imitated by the Medieval theologian Honorius Augustodunensis (12th c.) in the prologue of his cosmological treatise De imagine mundi, where it is directed, in an allusive way, against the detractors of that work. This imitation, until now not recognised by scholars, offers a new insight into the fortune of Sedulius’ work in the Middle Ages.
