Ausgehend von der Annahme eines bewussten Verdunklungsstrebens (obscuritas) in der epistolaren Kunstsprache der Spätantike werden vor dem Hintergrund einer dezidierten Verortung des Phänomens in der aristokratischen Bildungskultur die Formen und Funktionen dieser sprachlichen Kodierung exemplarisch anhand ausgewählter Autoren (u.a. Sidonius Apollinaris, Avitus, Ennodius) analysiert.

'Angehörige der spätantiken Bildungsschicht waren innovativ, indem sie auf klassische Muster der Vergangenheit zurückgriffen' (363).

This translation does not itself account for its origin. It is an adaptation of the translation of 1887 by Eugène Baret in the 'Collection des auteurs latins' of M. Nisard. When asked, the editor wrote us (October 2007): "La traduction que nous avons fait paraître est celle de monsieur Eugène Baret, qui a paru en 1887 dans le 22e volume de la Collection des auteurs latins de M. Nisard. Pour notre réédition, cette traduction a été revue par deux personnes et pour deux objets différents: 1. Pour les questions de références littéraires et mythologiques (plus globalement de culture dirait-on aujourd'hui), auxquelles Sidoine se complaît, et qui rendent son texte si distant et si difficile pour le lecteur contemporain. 2. Pour quelques questions de vocabulaire, certains mots comme 'race' ou 'nation', ayant une connotation très différente selon qu'on se place avant ou après la seconde guerre mondiale."
