| Summary |
Wenngleich gemeinhin das Thema der erotischen Liebe die Welt des Mittelalters und der Frühneuzeit zu bestimmen scheint, belegt dieser Sammelband, dass das ciceronische Ideal der Freundschaft parallel dazu den öffentlichen Diskurs bestimmte. Nach einer ausführlichen Einleitung behandeln die Beiträger die Funktionen und den Charakter von Freundschaft von der Spätantike (Augustinus) bis zum 17. Jahrhundert und zeigen auf, in welcher Vielfalt dieses Thema sowohl in der Literatur als auch in der Politik und gar in der Malerei zur Sprache kam |
