Stephan Renker legt mit dieser zweisprachigen Ausgabe die erste vollständige deutsche Übersetzung der Kynegetika des Pseudo-Oppian seit über 250 Jahren vor.In dem vier Bücher und insgesamt circa 2200 Hexameterverse umfassenden Lehrgedicht aus dem frühen dritten Jahrhundert berichtet uns der Autor in unterhaltsamer Weise über verschiedene Aspekte der Jagd. So lesen wir von der Aufzucht von Jagdpferden und -hunden, den unterschiedlichen Arten pflanzen- und fleischfressender Tiere sowie von einfallsreichen Jagdmethoden.Die Ausgabe beinhaltet neben dem griechischen Text der maßgeblichen Ausgabe von Manolis Papathomopoulos eine moderne, zielsprachig orientierte und damit flüssig lesbare Übersetzung, eine ausführliche Hinführung zu Gattung, Autor und Werk sowie umfangreiche erläuternde Anmerkungen. Den Band beschließt eine reichhaltige Bibliographie.Damit erschließt Stephan Renker dieses faszinierende, von der Forschung bisher wenig beachtete Stück kaiserzeitlicher Epik nicht nur für da s Fachpublikum, sondern für alle an antiker Literatur Interessierte.
Rezension:
"Stephan Renker has now offered readers of German an exemplary (and affordable) edition of Pseudo-Oppian's Cynegetica, the first complete German translation of this fascinating poem in over 250 years. [...] I highly recommend this volume to anyone interested in Pseudo-Oppian, and especially to readers who are not familiar with his didactic poem. R. has produced a lucid translation of a not always lucid poem accompanied by many helpful notes on zoological, textual, and literary matters as well as a thorough overview of the secondary literature." Sean McGrath in: ExClass 2021, 439-445.
Klappentext:
Since 1923 the Sammlung Tusculum has published authoritative editions of Greek and Latin works together with a German translation. The original texts are comprehensively annotated, and feature an introductory chapter. In the new volumes, additional essays delve into specific aspects of the works, illuminating their historical context and reception to the present day. The high academic quality of the new editions together with clearly written essays and annotations make the Sammlung Tusculum essential reading for students who are discovering an ancient author for the first time as well as professional scholars who would like to gain a deeper understanding of specific aspects of a given work. Moreover, the series is ideal for lay readers who would like to engage with antiquity through a reliable German translation. The series contains over 270 titles, available in print and eBook editions, making previously out-of-print titles and rarities available again for the first time. In orde r to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the series, De Gruyter is proud to present Tusculum Online, an eBook package which contains all titles that appeared between 1923 and 2013 - a fitting tribute to an important part of German publishing history.
