Abstract

The epitome has been usually seen as a derivative text deprived of any literary quality. This project sheds light on the epitome as a typical product of late antique literary discourse. By the very act of assembling and putting together the traces of the past the epitome not only reconstructs but also tends to destabilize its own models and the literary past.
