Abstract

BRAVO LOPEZ, Ulises. Sublimes aperire vias: Textual Parallelism and Ideological Coincidences in Manilius and Ps. Longinus. Nova tellus [online]. 2025, vol.43, n.1, pp.103-128.  Epub May 23, 2025. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2025.43.1/071s00x24w65.

The 1st Century AD marks, in many ways, the beginning of a new literary paradigm and the conformation of a new literature. Two texts from this period contribute to the development of such a new literary conception: Manilius’ Astronomica and Περὶ ὕψους attributed to Ps. Longinus. Through the analysis of some of their passages, this article suggests that there could be a link between those texts, because of a literary and ideological interplay between their authors, who possibly got along with each other within the same atmosphere or intellectual circle.

Keywords : Manilius; Longinus; Sublime; Astrology; Literature; Ideology.
