Description

English summary: In antiquity and the Middle Ages, collections of sayings were a popular form of everyday literature. As texts, they did not claim any high literary standard. That does not mean, however, that their content was always easy to understand. They often deal with densely written insights and admonitions which presuppose far more than they say. That opens up a wide field of interpretation and re-reading, which took place in the open form of the collection, above all through the proliferation, reduction or the regrouping of the material. The sayings attributed to the philosopher Sextus present a remarkable example of a revised Christian collection of Imperial Era sayings. They possess Pythagorean precursors and continued to have an effect in Christian monasticism via Evagrius of Pontus. This volume traces these lines of development. German description: In Antike und Mittelalter waren Sammlungen von Spruchen (Gnomen/Sentenzen) eine beliebte Form der Gebrauchsliteratur. Als Texte erhoben sie keinen hohen literarischen Anspruch. Das heisst aber nicht, dass ihr Inhalt immer leicht zu verstehen ware. Oft handelt es sich um sprachlich verdichtete Einsichten und Ermahnungen, die weit mehr voraussetzen als sie sagen. Das offnet ein weites Feld der Interpretation und Relecture, die in der offenen Form der Sammlung vor allem durch Vermehrung, Verminderung oder Umgruppierung des Spruchmaterials stattfindet. Die dem Philosophen Sextus zugeschriebenen Spruche stellen ein bemerkenswertes Beispiel fur eine christlich uberarbeitete Spruchsammlung der Kaiserzeit dar. Sie haben pythagoreische Vorlaufer und wirken uber Evagrius Ponticus im christlichen Monchtum fort. Der Band zeichnet diese Entwicklungslinien nach.
