The Epistulae ([ɛˈpɪs.t̪ʊ.ɫ̪ae̯], "letters") are a series of personal missives by Pliny the Younger directed to his friends and associates. These Latin letters are a unique testimony of Roman administrative history and everyday life in the 1st century. The style is very different from that in the Panegyricus, and some commentators maintain that Pliny initiated a new genre: the letter written for publication. This genre offers a different type of record than the more usual history; one that dispenses with objectivity but is no less valuable for it. Especially noteworthy among the letters are two in which he describes the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 during which his uncle Pliny the Elder died (Epistulae VI.16, VI.20), and one in which he asks the Emperor for instructions regarding offic

  • De Epistulae (Latijn voor Brieven) vormen het bekendste werk van de Romeinse schrijver Plinius de Jongere (62 – circa 113). (nl)
  • Die Plinius-Briefe sind eine Sammlung von Briefen (lateinisch Epistulae) des römischen Schriftstellers Plinius der Jüngere (61 oder 62 – ca. 114). Mit ihrer Publikation begründete er ein eigenes Genre und verschaffte sich den von ihm angestrebten Nachruhm. Bekannt sind die Beschreibungen seiner Villen Tuscum im Apennin und Laurentinum südlich von Ostia am Mittelmeer. Zu den bekanntesten Einzelstücken gehören die Schilderung des Vesuvausbruchs im Jahr 79 für Tacitus und der Briefwechsel mit Trajan bezüglich der Frage, wie mit Christen zu verfahren sei. (de)

  • Les Lettres (latin : Epistulae) sont le recueil de la correspondance de l'écrivain latin Pline le Jeune (né en 61 ou 62 et mort vers 113). Les 371 lettres sont réunies en dix livres, le dernier étant consacré à ses missives officielles. Après les avoir envoyées, Pline retravaille ses lettres et les publie . Les lettres pliniennes sont une source précieuse de renseignements sur le Haut-Empire romain. (fr)
  • Le Lettere o Epistole (in latino, Epistulae) sono la maggiore opera pervenutaci di Plinio il Giovane e rappresentano una testimonianza unica della vita quotidiana, culturale e politico-amministrativa dell'Impero romano sul principio del II secolo. Di particolare interesse sono le due lettere in cui Plinio descrive a Tacito l'eruzione del Vesuvio del 79 d.C., durante la quale morì suo zio Plinio il Vecchio (Epistulae, VI, 16; VI, 20), e quella in cui chiede all'imperatore istruzioni sulla politica da tenere nei confronti dei cristiani, con la responsiva di Traiano (Epistulae, X, 96-97).

  • Пи́сьма (лат. Epistulae) Пли́ния Мла́дшего — коллекция личных посланий, отправленных древнеримским политическим деятелем I века своим друзьям. Письма являются уникальным свидетельством относительно событий римской политической истории и повседневной жизни. Помимо прочего, в них приводится описание извержения Везувия в августе 79 года, в ходе которого погиб дядя эпистолографа, Плиний Старший (VI.16, VI.20). Датируемое 112 годом письмо императору Траяну самое раннее упоминание христиан (X.96). Как правило, в сборнике выделяют две части: книги с I по IX, в которую входят предназначавшиеся для публикации письма друзьям, и не предназначавшуюся для публикации переписку с Траяном, имевшую место в период губернаторства Плиния в провинции Вифиния и Понт. Среди известных корреспондентов Плиния — по (ru)
