Wer war Apollonius von Tyana? In der Antike rankten sich viele Legenden um diesen Mann. War er ein großer pythagoräischer Weiser oder doch ein Scharlatan? Eusebius von Caesarea will dieser Frage auf den Grund gehen. Angestachelt durch die Schrift „Philalethes“ des römischen Beamten Sossianus Hierocles widmet er sich einer Untersuchung dieser umstrittenen Gestalt. Hierocles sah in Apollonius einen besseren Christus. Eusebius aber hält dem entgegen, dass Schriftsteller wie Hierocles einen Mythos um den Tyanäer erschaffen hätten, der der historischen Person nicht gerecht wird. Gemeinsame Grundlage der Diskussion ist dabei die „Vita Apollonii“ des Flavius Philostratus. Diese Arbeit bietet erstmals die deutsche Komplettübersetzung von „Contra Hieroclem“, angereichert durch eine Einleitung und einen ausführlichen Kommentar.
Newly edited with a transcription faithful to the original manuscript and provided with an Introduction
This book offers a new edition of one of the most important art historical sources on Italian art. Written not long before Vasari's famous Lives (1550), this source provides an overview of art from Cimabue to Michelangelo. Moreover, the author's ambition was to provide a sketch of the art of classical antiquity. First published in the late nineteenth century, the Codex has led to numerous questions, the main one being: who was its author? We believe we have found the answer to this question, which led us to come up with a new edition of the Codex.
