Prolepsis

Zusatztext

<p>This volume collects contributions on the theme of<em>prolepsis</em> in Antiquity, Middle Ages, and Renaissance. As the interest in this topic grows, our goal is to provide a first attempt at adopting an all-encompassing approach, which thematizes<em>prolepsis</em> as a pivotal hermeneutic tool to read into different times and contexts. While the first section maintains a more traditional literary approach to the topic, the second section hosts a reflection on the relationship between<em>prolepsis</em> and kingship within historiographical accounts. The chapters of the third section revolve around a religious interpretation of<em>prolepsis</em>, creating an overview of theological practices and narrations connected to foreshadowing through time. Section four hosts chapters that differ significantly in their individual fields but share the common understanding of a practical application of<em>prolepsis</em> in the ancient Greek world, with a specific technical focus. The three essays of the fifth and final section explore entirely different conceptualizations, delving into alternative notions of<em>prolepsis</em>, combining approaches and maintaining a more methodological focus.</p>
