Christian Protology and Eschatology Formed by Pagan Letters. Base on Cento De Verbi Incarnatione
Mariusz Piątek
Abstract
The article shows Christian protology and eschatology issues in the Cento De Verbi Incarnatione. The main goal is to show how the centoner used Virgil’s words to create Christian theology in his poem. Did he only use letters or maybe also the context from the Aeneid, Bucolics and Georgics? In searching for similarities and differences between De Verbi Incarnatione and Virgil’s poems, we analyzed a few parts on teachings about the creation and the end of the world, the existence of Satan, sin entering the world, the results of sin and eschatology in general.
The centoner in his work mainly uses the lexical level of Virgil’s works, though in most cases, he does not include their context. In the Cento, we can find many similarities between Christian figures in various works and the characters that appear in the works of greatest poet of the Augustian age.
