Overview
Volumes

As an accompaniment to the corpus of the Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller (GCS), Adolf von Harnack created the monograph series Texte und Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der altchristlichen Literatur (TU) in 1882, which from that time on served as an "archive for the ... editions of older Christian writers".

Exegesis of the Gospel of Luke

Codices Singuli and Catena C139.1

Panagiotis Manafis

Volume 194 in this series

This volume examines the Byzantine manuscripts which transmit unique collections of Greek exegetical extracts on the Gospel of Luke. These codices singuli contain compilations which differ in content and sequence of scholia from all the other known catena types of this Gospel. The Clavis Patrum Graecorum volume on catenae, updated by Jacques Noret in 2018, briefly discusses these individual manuscripts in the codices singuli section (C137). The witnesses are: Vindobonensis theol. gr. 301 (C137.1); Monacensis graecus 208 (C137.2), Codex Zacynthius (C137.3); Vaticanus graecus 349 (C137.4), Palatinus graecus 273 (C137.5), and Laurentianus Conv. Soppr. 159 (C137.6). To these, Parpulov’s 2021 catalogue of Greek New Testament Catenae added four further codices singuli: Parisina supplementa graeca 612 and 1248 (C137.7), Prague, Národní Knihovna České republiky, XXV B 7 (C137.8), Venice, BNM, Z.495 (1048) (C137.9) and Drama, Μ. Κοσινίτσης, 3 (C137.10). It also adds a new catena type, C139.1, attested by four manuscripts. These updates have been incorporated in the online Clavis Clavium. Further research, however, has shown that Codex Zacynthius, Palatinus graecus 273 and Prague, Národní Knihovna České republiky, XXV B 7 all transmit the same compilation; Vindobonensis theol. gr. 301 contains a collection of comments similar to C132 and is not a codex singulus; Parisinum supplementum graecum 1225, previously identified as C131, is a separate catenae type which may be assigned the siglum C137.11. This present volume provides the editio princeps of four of the unique catenae on Luke which have not previously been published (C137.2, C137.4, C137.6, C137.11) and the new catena identified as C139.1. It includes a thorough examination of the content and structure of each manuscript and an investigation of the direct and indirect sources used by their compilers.

Origenes brevior

Studi sulla tradizione del Commento a Matteo (con l’edizione dei libri 12 e 13)

Raffaele Tondini

Volume 193 in this series

The Commentary on Matthew is one of Origen’s works we can partially read in Greek language. Nonetheless, this Greek text doesn’t reproduce Origen’s work in its original form but in a later abridgement.

The shortened nature of the Greek text is demonstrated thanks to a close comparison with fragments from exegetical catenae (cap. 1) and with an anonymous Latin translation (cap. 2). Particular attention is devoted to a 5th-century palimpsest fragments of the unabridged Commentary (cap. 4).

The previous editor of the Commentary tried to restore the original form Greek text by mean of large number of conjectures mainly based on the Latin translation. His results weren’t anyway satisfactory. In this volume the autonomy of the Greek abridgement is reestablished: a sample of this enterprise is offered in the new critical edition of books 12 and 13.

This volume offers a comprehensive study of the manuscript tradition of the Commentary on Matthew (cap. 5) and takes into consideration the general process of reduction undergone by Origen’s sometimes verbose production.

Antiochenische Kosmographie?

Zur Begründung und Verbreitung nichtsphärischer Weltkonzeptionen in der antiken Christenheit

Benjamin Gleede

Volume 191 in this series

Although the Earth’s spherical shape has been considered scientific fact since Hellenistic times, it has been questioned since the fourth century, especially in the "Antiochene" school of Diodorus of Tarsus. This volume relates the reasons behind this skepticism to the fall of dominant Greek and Roman culture during the Migration Period, although persistent alternative Syro-Mesopotamian cosmographies prove themselves crucial.

Interreligiöse Konflikte im 4. und 5. Jahrhundert

Julian „Contra Galilaeos“ – Kyrill „Contra Iulianum“

Gerlinde Huber-Rebenich, Stefan Rebenich

Volume 181 in this series

This volume examines the inter-religious conflicts of the 4^th and 5^th centuries starting with Contra Iulianum, the reply by Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria to the anti-Christian screed Contra Galilaeos written by Rome’s last pagan emperor Julian. One focus is to situate these two works in their contemporary contexts, but chapters on their transmission and reception also explore their “afterlife.”

Le Commentaire de Théodoret de Cyr sur l’Épître aux Romains

Études philologiques et historiques

Agnès Lorrain

Volume 179 in this series

Contrairement à l’exégèse patristique antiochienne de l’AT, celle du NT est mal connue. La présente étude est centrée sur une partie essentielle et représentative (Prologue et In Romanos) de l’In epistulas Pauli de Théodoret de Cyr (Ve s.), seul commentaire grec antique de Paul conservé intégralement en langue originale. L’examen du texte (analyse sémantique et décryptage de l’argumentation) permet de découvrir les lignes de force d’un commentaire qui semble être, à première lecture, une simple paraphrase, et dans lequel l’interprétation se lit seulement en filigrane. La mise en dialogue de l’œuvre avec ses sources met au jour à la fois la manière dont Théodoret travaille à partir de la tradition, et ses apports propres : confrontation avec l’interprétation chrysostomienne de Romains, comparaison des passages polémiques avec l’argumentation scripturaire attestée dans les débats théologiques, ou encore points de contacts sémantiques avec Jean Chrysostome et Cyrille d’Alexandrie. Prévu pour accompagner l’édition et la traduction de l’œuvre, qui paraîtra prochainement, ce volume contribue à faire connaître les caractéristiques propres à l’exégèse du NT dans l’Antiquité et pose les bases d’une étude théologique de cette œuvre majeure.

Cet ouvrage accompagne l’édition et la traduction de l’In Romanos de Théodoret de Cyr. Les enquêtes sémantiques, l’étude de l’argumentation, du rapport aux sources et du discours polémique, mettent en relief les richesses d’un commentaire qui semble au premier abord une simple paraphrase, et dans lequel l’interprétation se lit en filigrane. Ces pages contribuent à la connaissance des caractéristiques propres de l’exégèse du NT dans l’Antiquité.

Methodius of Olympus

State of the Art and New Perspectives

Katharina Bracht

Volume 178 in this series

Methodius of Olympus († ca. 311 CE) is regarded as a key author in 3^rd c Christian theology. In recent years, his works have become objects of intense research interest on the part of Church historians, classical Greek and Paleoslavic philologists, and scholars of Armenia. The essays in this volume examine the current state of research, enhance our understanding of Methodius with valuable new information, and open up new research perspectives.

Snapshots of Evolving Traditions

Jewish and Christian Manuscript Culture, Textual Fluidity, and New Philology

Liv Ingeborg Lied, Hugo Lundhaug

Volume 175 in this series

Scholars of early Christian and Jewish literature have for many years focused on interpreting texts in their hypothetical original forms and contexts, while largely overlooking important aspects of the surviving manuscript evidence and the culture that produced it. This volume of essays seeks to remedy this situation by focusing on the material aspects of the manuscripts themselves and the fluidity of textual transmission in a manuscript culture. With an emphasis on method and looking at texts as they have been used and transmitted in manuscripts, this book discusses how we may deal with textual evidence that can often be described as mere snapshots of fluid textual traditions that have been intentionally adapted to fit ever-shifting contexts. The emphasis of the book is on the contexts and interests of users and producers of texts as they appear in our surviving manuscripts, rather than on original authors and their intentions, and the essays provide both important correctives to former textual interpretations, as well as new insights into the societies and individuals that copied and read the texts in the manuscripts that have actually been preserved to us.

book: The Shepherd of Hermas in Latin

Book 2014

The Shepherd of Hermas in Latin

Critical Edition of the Oldest Translation Vulgata

Christian Tornau, Paolo Cecconi

Volume 173 in this series

The Shepherd of Hermas is a Greek visionary text written in Rome during the 2nd century CE with the aim to exhort men to change life and repent for their sins, taking advantage of the last chance given by the Lord before world’s end. The Shepherd is a very important witness of history of the early Christian thought and it was so widely-read that it was immediately translated into Latin and other languages.
Despite the considerable amount of Greek textual witnesses of the Shepherd (more than twenty-five written between the 2nd and the 14th century), its complete text did not survive until today, therefore its translations in other languages are of crucial importance for the constitutio textus. Among the various translations, the Latin Vulgata stands out for its antiquity, accuracy and links with some important Greek witnesses like the Papyrus Bodmer 38 (4th/5th century) and the Codex Athous Grigoriou 96 (14th century).
The last critical edition of the Vulgata was made by H.A. Hilgenfeld in 1873 and is still quoted by scholars today. The Shepherd of Hermas in Latin offers a more modern and complete philological study through an investigation of new unknown textual sources from 9th to 14th century and gives new philological and textual data with the aim to replace the accurate but not updated edition of Hilgenfeld.

Märtyrerliteratur

Hans Reinhard Seeliger, Wolfgang Wischmeyer

Volume 172 in this series

In their functions as memorial and devotional literature, the “Acts of the Martyrs”, are generally read as historical protocols. They are an access point for understanding the development of hagiography. By examining different genres and textual compilations (at times, synoptic), this volume reveals the diversity of this literature and documents its importance for understanding intellectual, social, and religious history.

Euthalian Traditions

Text, Translation and Commentary

Vemund Blomkvist

Volume 170 in this series

The ‛Euthalian apparatus’ is a corpus of auxiliary texts that summarize Acts and the New Testament Letters. The material is found in a great number of Greek biblical manuscripts. Some sources identify the author as ‛Euthalius, bishop of Sulci’, but almost nothing is known about this figure.

Vemund Blomkvist’s study is based on the idea that the biblical text and the apparatus form a ‛system’, and that this system may be studied as a unity. The commentary shows that the different genres of the apparatus offer quite different paraphrases of the apostolic writings: The argumenta present a radicalized interpretation of Paul’s theology, while the chapter titles seem to be closer to the biblical text. Together with Prof. David Hellholm, Blomkvist has published a study on the meta-terminology of the apparatus (‛Paraenesis as an ancient genre-designation’, 2002), also included in the present volume.

Apokritikos

Kritische Ausgabe mit deutscher Übersetzung

Makarios Magnes, Ulrich Volp

Volume 169 in this series

It has been a century since the first publication of the Apokritikos extracts, which were written “by a Greek philosopher of the 3rd century” (Adolf von Harnack, 1911). One hundred years later, as part of the same series, there now follows a complete bilingual edition of the entire Apokritikos. Along with a German translation, this volume includes a newly reconstructed Greek text with critical commentary. The Apokritikos contains one of the three most sweeping anti-Christian polemics preserved from classical philosophy, together with Makarios’s refutation from the Christian side.

Predigt 3 des Basilius Caesariensis in der Übersetzung des Rufinus - Kritische Ausgabe des lateinischen Textes mit Einleitung, griechischer Fassung und deutscher Übersetzung

Basilius von Caesarea, Rufinus von Aquileia, Heinrich Marti

Volume 168 in this series

This publication provides the first comparison and commentary on two critical editions of the same sermon. Few texts have been preserved both in the original language and in the language of the target audience. The third sermon of Basil is completely accessible in both versions as the homilia secunda Basilii of Rufinus.

Just how reliable the Latin translators are is of great importance for both theology and philosophy. For example, did Rufinus of Aquileia translate precisely, or interpret freely? In the past theology and philosophy have not contributed significantly to understanding such translations. There has been a lack of critical analyses of texts and literary studies, a gap that is filled by this commentary.

La lettre de Julius Africanus à Aristide sur la généalogie du Christ

Analyse de la tradition textuelle, édition, traduction et étude critique

Christophe Guignard

Volume 167 in this series

The genealogy of Jesus as recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke differs. Very early on, this difference gave rise to many questions and discussions amongst Christians. An attempt at reconciliation had considerable success for centuries: that which Julius Africanus (ca. 170–250) put forward in his letter to Aristides on the basis of Judaeo-Christian traditions. Aimed against a less literal interpretation of the gospel genealogies, Africanus’ letter underlines a claim that will play an important role all through the Christian history – that of biblical inerrancy.
Christophe Guignard provides a new edition, enriched with a new fragment. It is the fruit of an extensive study on the textual tradition that depends entirely on two quotations from Eusebius of Caesarea. Since one of these – included in his ‛Gospel Questions’ – is now lost, much space was made for the tradition of this work in the writings of the Latin and Oriental Fathers. The Greek text and French translation, the first ever complete translation into a living language, are accompanied by a study that sheds new light on the text and the controversial context that underlies it. It also takes into consideration the traditions Africanus uses, one of which seems to go back to a circle claiming to be related to the family of Jesus.

Volume 166 in this series

The "Onomasticon of Biblical Place Names" of the (later) Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea still represents the basis for biblical archeology and regional studies. This study investigates for the first time which Greek Bible text was used by Eusebius for his work.

Die Kestoi des Julius Africanus und ihre Überlieferung

Martin Wallraff, Laura Mecella

Volume 165 in this series

A new form of organizing knowledge was adopted during the time of the Roman Empire, with works such as the Cesti of Julius Africanus (3rd century AD) playing a central role in the process. It records areas of knowledge that appear disparate from a modern point of view. They include magic, medicine, the military, agriculture and poetry. This volume examines the work, which survives only in fragments, along with its somewhat complicated reception, thus closing a gap in current research.

Koptische Apokryphen aus Nubien

Der Kasr el-Wizz Kodex

Peter Hubai, Angelika Balog

Volume 163 in this series

The Nubian Museum (Aswan) houses the Kasr el-Wizz Codex, which was copied around the middle of the IX century in a Southern scriptorium. It contains two Coptic apocryphals. The first – a secret revelation by the Saviour after the Resurrection – is closely related to the Old Nubian Stauros Text published by F. Ll. Griffith, the second presents a hitherto unknown narrative about the Saviour’s time spent with his disciples on the Mount of Olives before the Crucifixion. This second text is particularly interesting because of its proximity to the Strasbourg Coptic Gospel fragment and the recently discovered Gospel of the Saviour.
The volume offers edition, German translation and commentary as well as coloured images of the codex.

Der Traktat "Vom Mysterium der Buchstaben"

Kritischer Text mit Einführung, Übersetzung und Anmerkungen

Cordula Bandt

Volume 162 in this series

The editio princeps of the tract On the Mystery of Letters (mid-6th century) opens access to a unique document from Early Byzantine monastic writing. Working from the Jewish tradition of Hebrew letters, but at the same time distancing himself from it, the author developed a Christian interpretation of the Greek alphabet – from alpha through to omega. An introduction locates the work in cultural history by presenting various versions of Jewish and Christian letter symbolism. The critical text itself is supported by a translation and notes.

Volume 161 in this series

One of the most important manuscripts discovered in recent times is the 4th century Codex Tchacos. It contains 4 texts, two of which (“The Letter of Peter to Philip” and “The [first Apocalypse] of James”) were already known from the finds at Nag Hammadi. The other two present hitherto unknown Gnostic writings (“The Gospel of Judas” and a text which researchers have named “Allogenes”). This publication presents the Coptic texts with a German translation on the facing pages, together with detailed linguistic indexes and observations on the content.

Christoph Markschies

Volume 160 in this series

In this volume, Christoph Markschies presents a collection of papers on Origen, the Christian theologian from Alexandria (died approx. 254 AD), who is regarded as the first Christian thinker to work in a rigorous and systematic philosophical manner. The papers in the volume treat philological problems presented by Origen's texts, examine theological ideas he developed, and consider the parts played by Eusebius, the Church historian, and Ambrosius, Bishop of Milan, who as two key theologians from the fourth century continued the traditions established by Origen in both East and West.

Gregor Emmenegger

Volume 159 in this series

The Mudil Codex from the late 4^th century contains the Biblical Psalms in Coptic. However, the text differs significantly from familiar versions of the Psalms, giving rise to the question of whether we are dealing with an original form of the text. The comprehensive analysis presented here demonstrates the tradition in which this fascinating text is located, how it arose, and what significance it has for research into the Psalms generally and the Coptic Bible manuscripts in particular.

Thomas J. Kraus, Tobias Nicklas

Volume 158 in this series

The Gospel of Peter is one of the most fascinating apocryphal texts of the 2nd century. The studies in the present volume are concerned with the question of the reconstruction of the text and philological questions associated with this, with the possible contexts of its genesis and with intertexts which may be of significance in interpreting it. The result is a number of insights into the theology of this text which are partly surprising and partly controversial.

Julius Africanus und die christliche Weltchronistik

Martin Wallraff

Volume 157 in this series

Julius Africanus (3rd cent.) has been called the “Father of Christian Chronography” – the exact calculation of dates and ages (such as the date of the Incarnation, and indirectly also of the end of the world). At the same time, however, he also presents the beginnings of a Christian universal history (Universal Chronicle), a genre which decisively influenced the historical thinking of both Orient and Occident over hundreds of years. The present studies open up this literature – some of which is virtually inaccessible – and make significant contributions to research into Latin, Greek and Oriental representations of the genre of universal chronicle.

Volume 155 in this series

The Exegesis on the Soul is the 6th text from Codex II of the Coptic manuscripts discovered at Nag Hammadi (Upper Egypt). The Coptic text has been newly edited and translated, and a detailed index has given access to its grammar.

This volume presents the first German commentary on the text. It concentrates on the traditional historical reference points in the text, locating them in Platonic traditions of the soul, in biblical imagery, and in the Judaic-Christian traditions of Alexandria.

Ioannis Antiocheni Fragmenta ex Historia chronica

Introduzione, edizione critica e traduzione a cura di Umberto Roberto

Umberto Roberto

Volume 154 in this series

The world chronicle of Jo(h)annes Antiochenus is a decisive source in the development of Christian universal historiography and world chronicles in the Christian Orient. It stretches from Adam to the beginning of the reign of Heraclius (610). The author was an educated official in the imperial administration in Constantinople. The chronicle was written in the context of the cultural and political debate about the renewal of the Emperorship after the deposition of the tyrant Phokas (October 610); the model is provided by the political structure of the Roman republic.

In this volume, the chronicle has been made available for the first time in a modern edition (with an Italian translation) and with a detailed introduction. The edition of the fragments includes new texts on Greek prehistory, Roman history, the chronology of biblical and Greek history, and the history, topography, and archaeology of Constantinople.

Volume 153 in this series

The Testament of Solomon is presented here for the first time in a complete German translation based on McCown’s edition of the text, up to now regarded as the authoritative version, and taking full account of the Greek textual variants. A detailed introduction and commentary place the text in its historical religious context, presenting it not as a Jewish text with subsequent Christian revisions, but as a genuinely Christian text from the 4th century, maybe as the first Christian demonology altogether.

Eusebius von Caesarea, Stefan Timm

Volume 152 in this series

[Index of Biblical Place Names] Eusebius of Caesarea’s gazetteer of biblical place-names is the basic handbook for the historical geography of the Holy Land on both banks of the Jordan. In its Latin version, it had a strong influence on the Occidental world. The Syriac version had a similar influence on the Orient and is presented here for the first time in an interlinear form: Greek and Syriac, together with a German and an English translation. It does not include the extensions of the Latin version, and is thus of considerable significance for the textual history of the Greek version.

Papyrus Michigan 3520 und 6868(a)

Ecclesiastes, Erster Johannesbrief und Zweiter Petrusbrief im fayumischen Dialekt

Hans-Martin Schenke, Rodolphe Kasser

Volume 151 in this series

This is the first edition of two Coptic manuscripts with biblical contents from the Papyrus Collection of the University of Michigan; a German translation is provided. Comprehensive indexes provide access to the two papyri. The papyrus Michigan 3520 contains the biblical books of Ecclesiastes, the First Epistle of St. John and the Second Epistle of St. Peter in an early version of Fayumic (Dialect V4). The manuscript probably dates from the first half of the 4th century, and its age alone lends it extraordinary scholarly significance - both for the history of the transmission of biblical texts and for research into the Coptic dialects. The first part of the (slightly younger) Papyrus Michigan 6868 contains fragments of the Preaching of Solomon (Ecclesiastes) in Classical Fayumic (Dialect F5) and is similarly of great value for the history of the Coptic Septuagint. The second part of the Papyrus Michigan 6868, an Agathonicus fragment, was already published by Schenke in 1996 (in the Festschrift for Ludwig Koenen).

Vorträge der Internationalen Fachkonferenz zu Marcion, gehalten vom 15. - 18. August 2001 in Mainz

Gerhard May, Katharina Greschat, Martin Meiser

Volume 150 in this series

The volume presents a collection of new research findings on Marcion, the most important heretic in Classical times, and in particular takes issue with Adolf von Harnack's epoch-making interpretation of Marcion.

Harnack's view of Marcion as a biblical theologian and faithful pupil of Paul's, who was alienated by the theological developments of the 2nd century, has proved to be a historically questionable modernisation. The papers in this volume place Marcion and the Marcionite Church back in their historical context. For the first time, the papers also reveal more thoroughly the theological historical background to Harnack's interpretation of Marcion and its reception in the 20th century.

Wörterbuch der griechischen Wörter in den koptischen dokumentarischen Texten

Hans Förster

Volume 148 in this series

This new type of a dictionary of the Greek words in the Coptic documentary texts is based on the relevant editions. It is both an aid for the edition of Coptic texts and can also indicate semantic and phonological shifts compared with Byzantine Greek, and is thus of interest to Byzantine scholars as well. This dictionary offers a long overdue tool for academic research. As Coptic is often described as the language of Christian Egypt, the dictionary is also important for theologians.

Volume 147 in this series

This volume presents the first critical edition of the Coptic translation of the Corpus Ieremiae in the Coptic Sahidic dialect.

It evaluates all the available texts (codices) and also considers secondary texts (lectionaries, quotations). The critical apparatus consistently notes the versions to the Greek text - the first time this has happened for a Coptic Bible edition. In addition, the edition contains an analysis of the historical textual status of the Coptic Sahidic version within the transmission of the Septuagint together with a study of the problems of translating from Greek to Coptic and their effect on textual criticism. An index of Greek loan-words and proper names is appended.

Ein Versuch zur Passio sanctarum Perpetuae et Felicitatis

Peter Habermehl

Volume 140 in this series

"Perpetua and the Egyptian", the first comprehensive literary interpretation of an early Christian martyrdom text, the Passio Perpetuae, is important not only for patristic scholars, classicists and literary historians, but also - and especially - for all those working on the position of women in classical antiquity. This revised edition deals particularly with the literature which has appeared over the past decade and goes into more detail of the functions and addressees of the Passio in the African Church community of the early 3rd century.
