"This book is the first large-scale study of the 'Metaphrasis Psalmorum' since the
middle of the twentieth century. It provides a revised critical text and complete
modern translation of the poem, as well as an extensive introduction, which explores
in detail critical questions such as authorship and the poet's engagement with early
Christian exegesis. On the basis of a thorough re-examination of the poem's theology,
its relationship to other late antique poetry, and relevant external evidence, it
is argued, contrary to received opinion, that the 'Metaphrasis Psalmorum' is a genuine
work of Apollinaris of Laodicea, the influential if controversial bishop of the 4th
century. It is also demonstrated that the poet interacts in a more wide-reaching and
intentional way with early Christian exegesis on the Psalms than has previously been
recognized, including the exegesis of Origen's newly discovered Homilies on the Psalms.
The introduction includes broader discussion of the tradition of early Christian classicizing
poetry, the poet's engagement with the Hellenic tradition, and his paraphrastic technique.
The revised text and translation make more accessible a poorly known and understudied
poem, which is nevertheless a major and important poetic work of late antiquity. The
book aims to promote greater awareness of the 'Metaphrasis Psalmorum' and act as a
catalyst for future work on the paraphrase
