This volume examines the transformation that took place in a wide range of genres in Late Antiquity. Aspects of sacred and secular literature are discussed, alongside chapters on technical writing, monody, epigraphy, epistolography and visual representation.

Latin is the language in which the New Testament was copied, read, and studied for over a millennium.
