In other words, it is about those aspects of literary studies that Niklas Holzberg has focussed on during his long life as a researcher. The lectures by his colleagues, friends and students, which were held at the Bamberg conference and discussed in a variety of ways, are now collected here. They cover the entire spectrum of ancient and modern genres and authors: from the sayings of the Seven Wise Men to Sappho, Aristophanes, Longos, Catullus, Ovid, Martial and Juvenal to neo-Latin poetry and specialised literature. The anthology provides insights into the research work and offers stimulating reflections on the research achievements of the exceptional philologist Niklas Holzberg.
