Intertextualität in den Mönchsviten des Athanasios und des Hieronymus

In three of his Latin lives of monks, Jerome refers back both implicitly and explicitly to Athanasius' Greek biography of the hermit Antonius. In so doing, he develops new motifs, topics, problems and figures, combining a Roman consciousness of style with Christian inspiration. The result is a multifaceted »dialogue« between the hermits, with a rich intertextuality that is the focus of analysis in this monograph.
