| Meer info | (2) a lost, tendentious Gothic story, extensively used in Jordanes 'Getica'; (3) Panegyrics (fragmentary) on Gothic royalties; (4) 'Variae': twelve books of state papers, edited c. 537, an invaluable source for Ostrogothic Italy, and the structures, culture, and ideology of late-Roman government. The collection was both an apology for the Ostrogoths and their Roman collaborators, and a moral, rhetorical, and practical guide for future rulers and ministers; Cassiodorus' blending of ekphrasis and learned digression into official discourse is remarkable; (5) The appended 'De anima' grounded the 'Variae' in religious reflections on human nature and society; (6) 'Expositio Psalmorum' (...); (7) 'Institutions': an intellectual Rule for Vivarium (...); (8) 'De orthographia': a guide for Vivarian copyists.

(SAMUEL JAMES BEECHING BARNISH in The Oxford Classical Dictionary, 2003, pp.298-299). |
