Description: Bringing together an international team of historians classicists and scholars of religion this volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the extant Greek and Latin letter collections of late antiquity (ca. 300 600 c. e.). Each chapter addresses a major collection of Greek or Latin literary letters introducing the social and textual histories of each collection and examining its assembly publication and transmission. Contributions also reveal how collections operated as discrete literary genres with their own conventions and self - presentational agendas. This book will fundamentally change how people both read these texts and use letters to reconstruct the social history of the fourth fifth and sixth centuries.
