RT Article T1 The rhetorical works of the school of Gaza JF Byzantinische Zeitschrift VO 113 IS 1 SP 111 OP 174 A1 Penella, Robert J. 1947- LA English PB De Gruyter YR 2020 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1728975107 AB This paper surveys the rhetorical works of the so-called School of Gaza of the late fifth and early sixth centuries in light of the recent wave of scholarship on the School. It focuses on themes, rhetorical genres, and structural features. The Gazan repertoire includes “real life” orations, declamations, dialexeis, progymnasmatic pieces, and oratorical paratexts such as preliminary dialexeis and protheōriai. The paper seeks to provide a map to this important but neglected body of texts, synthesizing recent scholarship and adding some of the author’s own observations along the way.null K1 Altertumswissenschaften K1 Byzantinistik K1 Diverses K1 Geschichte K1 Historische Epochen K1 Patristik K1 Theologie und Religion DO 10.1515/bz-2020-0007
