This volume, edited by Michele Cutino, examines the methodological issues surrounding Christian poetry - specifically biblical and theological poetry composed in classical meters - from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages. It offers a diachronic perspective on these Greek and Latin poetic texts, exploring their doctrinal significance and their role in the evolution of Christian theological ideas and biblical exegesis. The collection delves into how classical poetic forms were adapted for the rewriting of the Bible by poets of Late Antiquity, and traces the emergence of new forms of biblical poetry in the West, from the Carolingian Renaissance to the 12th and 13th centuries. This work reveals the intricate relationship between poetic expression and the development of Christian thought over a millennium.
