| Zusammenfassung: | In Ambrose’s opinion, this narration was really “historical”: he was influenced by the rhetorical teaching of his time with its intrinsic idea that historia as a type of narration, as distinct from fabula and argumentum, and historia as historiography, were the same thing. Accordingly, Ambrose narrates the content of Scripture in accordance with the criterion of likelihood essential to historia-narratio which requires and employs an epic-historical style rich in expressions from the Latin historiography. He relies on Josephus Flavius’s Antiquitates Iudaicae as a source and model for this historical narration. In Ambrose, this kind of narration aims at showing that sacred history is not only true but verisimilar as well, thus, making it easier to believe the words. The study suggests that this type of exposition of Scripture had a specific function in Ambrose’s catechesis to catechumens. |
