Títulos cristológicos en la Paráfrasis al Evangelio de san Juan de Nono de Panópolis.

In the first half of the fifth century, Nonnus of Panopolis uses Homeric Greek to paraphrase the Gospel of Saint John in about 3700 dactylic hexameters. In the present work we try to discover, through the analysis of the Christological titles used in the poem, what the figure of Jesus of Nazareth means to Nonnus of Panopolis. After examining the passages that present Jesus as sent and revealed by the Father, the Christological titles that refer more directly to the essence of Jesus are analyzed: Logos, true God, only begotten Son of God, wise Son of man and true Christ. Next, the titles related to two of the tria munera (king and prophet) are studied and the «I am» of Jesus are analyzed. Nonnus, while rebuilding the Gospel story step by step and decorating it with a very elaborate language and literary technique, is shaping in the mind of the reader a figure of Christ in which are highlighted his power, his royalty and especially his divinity. The poet avoids the Christological polemics affecting the Alexandrian environment during the fifth century, because his work is not a commentary on the Gospel text, but a rereading that maintains, although with some ambiguity, orthodoxy, and seeks to make the message of the Gospel more attractive for a cultured public. In order to make the study of the work more accessible and facilitate future research, the first complete translation in Spanish of the Paraphrase is also offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
