Late antique literature
Late antique literature is the body of literary, scholarly, and religious writing produced during late antiquity, commonly from the mid-third to the early seventh centuries CE. It includes works in Greek and Latin, but also in Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Georgian, Middle Persian, Arabic, and other languages of the Roman, Sasanian, and post-Roman worlds. In broader scholarly usage, the field may also include legal, technical, epigraphic, school, and paraliterary texts when these are studied as literary forms or as part of the textual culture of the period.
