The present essay offers a critical review of a recent book by Erika Juríková on the 17th-18th century Latin panegyrical production of the Trnava university press. While commenting on the formal flaws and methodological shortcomings of this publication, the author attempts to formulate his own views of some of the principal questions connected with research into the Latin panegyrical literature of Slovakia. Particular attention is paid to the matters of interpretation and to editorial principles.

The allegorical conception of the bucolic genre that became general in Nero's time led to a simplification compared to Vergil's complex art of creating symbols. Calpurnius overcame the limits of a mere reproductive imitation exactly by making use of the possibilities of pastoral allegory; in Corydon's figure he painted a bitterly self ironic picture of his own efforts to establish himself, of the controversies of patronage and the miserable situation of poets. In 'Eclogue IV' he does not only reverse the lines of allusions from Vergil, Ovid and other poets but also key concepts of the Augustan age such as 'rusticitas', 'paupertas', 'simplicitas', 'vates' and thus confronts his own age with its deficiency in view of the idealised rule of Augustus. The 'carmen amoebeum' exalts the Golden Age of Nero, which has often been analysed separately from the narrative frame as a document of uninhibited 'adulatio', can gain its full meaning only in this context.
