Description

This scholarly monograph examines Apuleius' comic donkey novel, The Golden Ass, within the intellectual and religious culture of 2nd century C.E. North Africa. The volume contextualises the work against the popular beliefs and Jewish and Christian writings of the era, revealing how cultural attitudes toward the donkey shaped the novel's composition and meaning. By exploring the donkey's various connotations in Jewish, Christian, and early Muslim traditions, the study demonstrates how Apuleius drew upon these widespread symbolic associations. The analysis illuminates the religious and cultural influences embedded in the narrative, offering new perspectives on how ancient literary works reflected and engaged with the spiritual concerns of their audiences. Ideal for scholars of classical literature, religious history, and the intersection of secular and sacred writing in antiquity.
