Sinopsis

Synesii Cyrenaei Calvitii Encomium presents an edition of Synesius of Cyrene?s humorous and philosophical discourse, 'In Praise of Baldness.' This edition, featuring the work of Denis Petau and Johann Georg Krabinger, offers valuable insights into the text and its historical context. Synesius, a philosopher, diplomat, and bishop of Ptolemais, was a prominent figure in late antiquity, and his writings reflect the intellectual currents of his time.The 'Encomium' itself is a playful yet thoughtful exploration of baldness, using wit and rhetorical skill to challenge conventional perceptions.
