| Sumario: | Leo the Philosopher (circa 790 – post 869) is the author of a treatise in 638 hexameters entitled “Job or on indifference to grief and on patience”. The present work aims to investigate Leo’s version of Job’s story (verses 39-215). The main hypothesis is that this section of the poem can be read as a verse metaphrasis of the Old Testament book. To prove the hypothesis, this article studies Leo’s metaphrastic techniques: which elements are omitted, condensed, altered or expanded; which are the implications of the hexameter in the style; and which other texts are incorporated. |
