The philosopher monkey. Presentation of Heidelberg’s Monkey, a tale by Michael von Albrecht
Abstract
Michael von Albrecht, great Emeritus Professor of Latin Philology and author, among other pioneering works, of the monumental History of Roman Literature, published in 1989 a short story in Latin under the title De simia Heidelbergensi (Heidelberg's Monkey). The objective of this presentation is to provide the reader with a brief overview of this precious jewel of Neo-Latin literature and reveal, at the same time, current events that run through it, capable of transcending short story fiction.
