Vergils Epos als Drama. Die Gattungstransformation der Inclyta Aeneis in der Tragicocomoedia des Johannes Lucienberger, Frankfurt 1576. Mit einer synoptischen Edition beider lateinischer Texte und weiteren Materialien in einem digitalen Ergänzungsband

In an exhaustive analysis, he considers how Lucienberger handles such typical epic features as the aristeia, catalogues, ekphrases, and similes; how several key scenes and Virgilian techniques are altered; and how things like stage directions and the division into acts and scenes affect the revision from epic to drama. In this way Vergils Epos als Drama shows itself to be in the vanguard of scholarly methodology in book history, as it is in format: the traditional print book is accompanied by a digital supplement, which is an imaginative use of multiple media to disseminate material that would be too expensive to print but is valuable nonetheless. [...]Vergils Epos als Drama is a scholarly contribution whose value extends into several areas: as an example of the rescue of a neglected work of Neo-Latin literature, which is always valuable in and of itself; as a contribution to reception studies, which is the fastest-growing field within classics today; and as a contribution to book history that is conceptually sound and methodologically advanced.
