The world’s leading database of Latin texts
The corpus of patristic texts from the Christian East
published in the Patrologia Orientalis series now
available online
International Bibliography of
Theology, Church History and
Religious Studies
The Index Religiosus endeavours to become the international reference bibliography for academic publications in Theology and Religious Studies. It covers
publications written in various European languages
(English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, etc.)
and is the result of collaboration between the Catholic University of Louvain and the KU Leuven, which are
both recognized internationally for their excellence in
the field of Theology and Religious Studies.
(LLT)
Since 2009 the Library of Latin Texts consists of two
parts, each of which can be subscribed to separately. The aim is to input the largest possible number of
Latin texts and make them available and searchable as
one large corpus. This is as a response to the growing
needs of scholars to have the widest possible material of the highest standard. The material which makes
up the Library of Latin Texts – Series B is drawn from
existing scholarly editions whereas the Library of Latin
Texts – Series A benefits from the additional intensive
research work undertaken by the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ (CTLO).

The Patrologia Orientalis Database (POD) is a collection of patristic texts from the Christian East, including works, recorded in non-Latin languages, that
come from geographical, cultural, or religious contexts somehow linked to Rome or the Eastern Roman
Empire.
This initial version of the database allows users to access texts included in the Patrologia Orientalis (PO)
series in two forms: the original text, available as a
PDF file, and a searchable translation. The user can
search for items (such as keywords or quotes) in the
language into which a text was translated in the PO.
All the texts in the PO are searchable, and the reader
can check the translation with the original text visible
alongside as a non-searchable PDF file.

BOOK SERIES
DIASPORA
NEW PERSPECTIVES ON
JEWISH HISTORY AND
CULTURE
The Diaspora Series is dedicated to research
into the heritage of the Jewish nation and
its culture and the varied ways this culture
impacted on Europe. Pre-modern Europe
bears witness to a diversity of subject areas
concerned with the Diaspora. Not only did it
see the emergence and continuance of Jewish migration, it also reveals the formation of
interrelated communities. Jews throughout
Europe were not simply the distant or settled
‘other’; they also formed a vital part of the social, cultural, and intellectual life of the European Middle Ages. The Diaspora Series seeks
to explore this diverse and sometimes contradictory phenomenon in all its complexity.

The Gift and Its Wages
The Land of Israel and the Jewish
People in the Spiritual Life of
Medieval Russia
XII+420 p., 33 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm, 2014, HB,
ISBN 978-2-503-53438-1, € 130
Language: English
Series: Diaspora 1
In its efforts to be recognized as the ‘New
Chosen People’ within
the family of nations,
Old Russia rejected the
descendants of the ‘Old
Chosen People’. The almost total absence of
Jews in Russia throughout the ancient period,
along with the central
role played by Jewish
tradition in the development of its culture,
are a contradiction. This book presents the story
of this dichotomy during the Old Russian millennium, from its inception to the late seventeenth
century. The material is organized chronologically,
beginning with the creation of the Kievan state in
the far reaches of the Khazar polity in the ninth
century, and ending with the reforms of Peter the
Great. This is preceded by a survey of two sources that shaped the image of the land and people
of Israel in the erudite world of ancient Russia: a
description of the Holy Land by Abbot Daniel in
the early twelfth century, and the ancient Slavic
translation of Josephus’s Wars of the Jews.

Byzantium and the Latin West,
6th-11th Centuries
The studies in this volume
shed light on the sixth to
eleventh centuries, a key
period of the history of
Jews and of Jewish-Christian relations, and focus on
key sources of the period:
Byzantine imperial law, the
canons of church councils,
papal bulls, royal legislation from the Visigoths or
Carolingians, inscriptions,
and narrative sources in
Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
The volume makes an important contribution not only to the history of medieval
Jewish-Christian relations, but also to research on the
uses and functions of law in medieval societies.

Review
"Es ist eine Stärke des Sammelbandes, sich nicht ausschliesslich – wie mehrere andere rechtshistorische
Darstellungen – auf die Normative Ebene von Gesetzestexten zu beschränken, sondern auch danach zu fragen, was diese normativen Quellen über die konkreten
Lebensbedingungen der Juden aussagen. Eine weitere
Stärke liegt zweifelsohne darin, lateinischen 'Westen'
und byzantinischen 'Osten' vergleichend in den Blick
zu nehmen."

Review
"(...) c’est avec plaisir qu’on découvre cet ouvrage très
documenté et fort éclairant sur les rapports sociaux, la
fabrique des identités, les coutumes cautionnées ou interdites, pour le pouvoir dominant aussi bien que pour
les minorités religieuses, dans les espaces de contacts
multiconfessionnels que sont les villes médiévales."

Étude des lettres pontificales
de 1199 à 1419
Pour les papes il était inévitable d’entretenir des
relations avec le monde
arabo-musulman, oriental
bien entendu – l’Égypte
et le Moyen Orient – mais
aussi occidental – l’Espagne et le Maghreb –.
Ainsi dès 1199, Innocent
III s’adressait-il au «Miramolin, roi du Maroc».
Quelque deux cent et une
lettres, rédigées au cours
des XIIIème et XIVème siècles
et pour la plupart enregistrées dans les registres des Archives secrètes du Vatican, permettent d’éclairer la position du Saint-Siège
face au Maghreb.
Review
"L'ouvrage très descriptif, présente de manière très
détaillée 200 ans de relations internationales entre
papauté et Maghreb. Les enjeux et les intérêts des
pontifes à maintenir des relations diplomatiques avec
les souverains musulmans, comme leur intérêt à veiller sur les fidèles sont très soigneusement présentés.
L'ouvrage permet de mieux comprendre les intérêts
pontificaux au Maghreb."

The eleven essays in this
volume explore the relations between expulsion,
diaspora, and exile between Late Antiquity and
the seventeenth century. The essays range
from Hellenistic Egypt
to seventeenth-century
Hungary and involve expulsion and migration of
Jews, Muslims and Protestants. The common
goal of these essays is to
shed light on the dynamics of expulsion, in particular its social and political causes; the integration of
expelled communities into their host societies; and,
finally, the role of expulsion and exile in the development of founding myths that establish (or attempt to
establish) group identities.

Series: Outremer. Studies in the Crusades and the Latin East 2
A seminal article published by Giles Constable in 1953 focused on
the genesis and expansion in scope of the Second Crusade with particular attention to what
has become known as
the Syrian campaign.
His central thesis maintained that by the spring
of 1147 the Church
“viewed and planned”
the Second Crusade as a
general Christian offensive against the Muslims of
Syria, the Iberian Peninsula and the pagan Wends
of the southern Baltic lands. This volume aims to
readdress scholarly predilections for concentrating
on the venture in the Near East and for narrowly
focusing on the accepted targets of the crusade. It
aims instead to place established, contentious, and
new events and concepts associated with the enterprise in a wider ideological, chronological, geopolitical, and geographical context.
compare primary sources and historiography, and
yet others consider the crusade in its Mediterranean
context, which is sometimes overlooked. These definitive studies of established areas of research are
augmented by the ground-breaking work in relatively
new areas: the ‘emotional language’ used in the narrative sources; the memorialization of the crusades;
and the use of literary sources for crusade studies:
notably there are complementary papers on the heroes and villains depicted in the Old French poetic
accounts of the First Crusade.
This collection of studies is
devoted to an examination
of the cultural discourse
between Jews and Christians in the Middle Ages
as a longue durée process,
and pursues its concerns
from a variety of innovative
perspectives that join together authoritative scholars from the field of Jewish-Christian relations.

Jerusalem the Golden
Cette recherche s’inscrit dans une double démarche:
restitution d’une cohérence globale à l’oeuvre d’Ibn
Qutayba (213/828-276/889) et essai de définition de
la notion d’adab (genre littéraire, éthique, paideia?).
Elle s’articule autour de la fonction d’auteur telle
qu’elle apparaît dans les ‘Uyūn al-Aḫbār, somme de
récits et vers exemplaires, ainsi que de la fonction
rhétorique de cet ouvrage qui l’apparente à un recueil
d’exempla de l’Occident médiéval. La parenté des
‘Uyūn al-Aḫbār avec le genre de l’encyclopédie y est
également abordée. Enrichie d’un éclairage comparatiste apporté par la littérature médiévale occidentale,
la confrontation critique de ce texte avec les interprétations qui en ont été données est fondée sur l’analyse rhétorique et stylistique du prologue des ‘Uyūn
al-Aḫbār, ainsi que sur la lecture transversale des introductions des trois ouvrages fondamentaux d’adab
d’Ibn Qutayba, que sont l’Adab al-Kātib, les ‘Uyūn alAḫbār et les Ma‛ārif. La traduction annotée des deux
dernières citées accompagne cette recherche.
The dialogues in which Christian characters are debating with Jews constitute an important aspect of ancient
and medieval Christian literature. Modern critical editions and detailed monographs are now available, but
we still need a book which would be exclusively devoted to this group of texts, from its origins to the modern
period. This volume offers the first general study of
these texts. It is centred primarily on the literary, historical and doctrinal aspects of the aduersus Iudaeos
dialogues.

"This is an extremely wide-ranging, informative, and
balanced collection of essays on a body of literature
that is as important as it is sensitive in the current
scholarly investigations of intercultural and interfaith
relationships across the centuries. The individual contributions are of the highest level, displaying remarkable scholarship but also subtlety in reviewing the
materials."

Review
"Visual Constructs of Jerusalem (...) fills an important
gap in our knowledge by analyzing how Jerusalem was
constructed, primarily in Europe, from Late Antiquity
to today with the focus on the Middle Ages and the
Early Modern period. (...) While scholars, including
many of the authors of this volume, have already
done much to shed light on this topic, this is by far the
most comprehensive, in-depth, and original treatment
to date. (...) this volume is an important milestone to
which a wide variety of scholars – all those with an
interest in medieval or early modern art and medieval or early modern Christianity – will undoubtedly be
turning frequently and for a very long time."

Newly accessible to scholarly view, the imposing
late medieval cityscape of
Famagusta here receives
its first synthetic examination since Camille Enlart's
great study of 1899. In its
heyday, Famagusta was
home to Greeks, Franks,
Armenians, Jews, Syrians
of various religious backgrounds, and numerous
merchants from the Italian trading cities, above
all Genoa and Venice.
Smaller groups completed the mix. With money pouring in from trade and the support of the crown, in
the fourteenth century the town was encircled with
impressive walls, still extant, and dozens of churches
were constructed, adopting unique variations of the
Gothic style, including large Latin, Greek, and Syrian
cathedrals. Many of these are still intact, others consist of evocative ruins among the palm trees with the
backdrop of the blue sea. This fascinating history and
its heritage are dealt with in the present volume.

Pratiquer le culte dans des grottes n’est pas un phénomène inconnu à Byzance. Néanmoins, chaque région
possède ses propres caractéristiques, et l’étude des
monuments rupestres de la région des lacs d’Ohrid
et de Prespa démontre leurs particularités. Vingtquatre églises, datant du milieu du XIIIe au milieu du
XVIe siècle, ont été recensées et étudiées du point
de vue architectural, iconographique, stylistique et
épigraphique. Dans quelle mesure les programmes
iconographiques reflètent-ils les fonctions des lieux?
Quelle est la différence entre les chapelles des diverses périodes? Quels sont leurs rapports avec les
monuments construits? Ce sont les questions que
nous nous sommes posées.
Byzantine to Modern Pottery in the Aegean is the
first general introduction
and easy-to-use field guide

of the Mediterranean. It
encompasses ca. 80 wares
most commonly found
during excavations, surveys
and in museums, dating
from the 7th century until
the 20th century. This indispensable book guides archaeologists, field workers and everyone interested in
the Medieval past of the eastern Mediterranean ware
by ware through 12 centuries of ceramic artefacts and
human activity.

The focus in this varied
collection of studies by key
scholars in the field is on
the material culture (especially ceramics) of the eastern Mediterranean during
Medieval and Post-Medieval times. The scope of the
contributions encompasses archaeological remains
of the Byzantine Empire,
the Islamic World, the Crusader States, the Republic
of Venice and the Ottoman
Empire. The volume offers a state of the art of an often
still hardly known territory in archaeology, which makes
it essential reading for scholars and a larger audience
alike.

du Ve au XIIe siècle dans l’espace européen. Il s’agissait
alors de la première réunion de cette ampleur consacrée à l’étude des ateliers de potiers en France et en
Europe pour une période cruciale, celle d’un premier
Moyen Âge qui voit, selon les lieux, l’effacement progressif ou brutal des systèmes de productions antiques et l’émergence plus ou moins rapide du vaisselier du Moyen Âge central et tardif, largement adapté
à l’usage de la glaçure. La présente publication vient
indéniablement combler un grand vide et constitue
un ouvrage de référence.

This book of essays is dedicated to the memory of
Riccardo Francovich, one
of Europe’s most eminent Medieval archaeologists, who died in 2007.
It takes as its core theme
a comparison of Italian
and Spanish Medieval Archaeology, in each case
challenging the status quo
and attempting to move
the boundaries of our
historical discussions ever
forwards. The volume attempts to evaluate if the Medieval Archaeology of these two important Mediterranean countries, largely unfamiliar on the international
stage, with their different ‘histories’, can be compared.

The more than thirty articles collected in this book
bring to life an impressively broad array of performances in the Eastern Mediterranean. It covers many
traditional types of performance, including singers,
dancers, storytellers, street performers, clowns,
preachers, shadow-puppeteers, fireworks displays,
and semi-theatrical performances in folk and other
celebrations. It explores performance of the secular
as well as of the sacred in its many forms, including
Sunni, Shiite, Sufi, and Alevi Muslims; Sephardic Jews
and those in the Holy Land; and Armenian, Greek, and
European Catholic Christians. The book focuses on
the Medieval and Early Modern periods, including the
Early Ottoman. Some papers reach backward into Late
Antiquity, while others demonstrate continuity with
the modern Eastern Mediterranean world.

Review
"This collection is ambitiously large, and the editors
have done yeoman's work in keeping it thematically
coherent, at least within the individual sections; some
of the essays are exceptional in their reach and originality, and overall Medieval and Early Modern Performance in the Eastern Mediterranean will have a place
as a general reference to the state of the field of historical performance studies."

Journal: Convivium 2.1 (2015)
This volume of the journal Convivium, marking Hans
Belting’s eightieth birthday, focuses on one of the crucial aspects of the myth of Rome, namely the ways in
which the imagined and physical characteristics of
Rome were intentionally engaged to construct culture,
power, and devotion throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. From Kiev to Avignon to Protestant Bohemia, to Assisi, and obviously to the second Rome, Constantinople, the Eternal City became a model, explicit
or implicit, for generations of artists and intellectuals.

Series: Studies in the Visual Cultures of the Middle Ages 7
This book investigates the
origins and transformations
of medieval image culture
and its reflections in theology, hagiography, historiography and art. It deals with
a remarkable phenomenon:
the fact that, after a period
of 500 years of absence, the
tenth century sees a revival
of monumental sculpture in
the Latin West. Contrary to the West, in Byzantium,
such a revival never occurred: only relief sculpture
– mostly integrated within an architectural context –
was used. However, Eastern theologians are the authors of highly fascinating and outstanding original
theoretical reflections about the nature and efficacy
of images. How can this difference be explained?
Why do we find the most fascinating theoretical
concepts of images in a culture that sticks to two-dimensional icons often venerated as cult-images
that are copied and repeated, but only randomly
varied? And why does a groundbreaking change in
the culture of images – the "revival" of monumental
sculpture – happen in a context that provides more
restrained theoretical reflections upon images in
their immediate theological, liturgical and artistic
contexts? These are some of the questions that this
book seeks to answer.

This book opens to the
reader the world of early
medieval Armenia: its sacred landscapes, striking
churches, and rich literary
and religious traditions. Examination of three sculpted
and inscribed monuments,
produced during the "global" wars of the seventh century, demonstrates the close engagement of Armenia with Byzantine imperial interests and with
contemporary events in the Holy Land. The dramatic context of the military frontier, and the apocalyptic expectations of its contemporaries, shaped a vibrant visual culture with ties to both the Byzantine
and Sasanian worlds. The seventh-century monuments of Armenia are important not just as an extraordinary moment of local cultural production;
they fill a crucial gap in our knowledge about the
medieval traditions of the Christian East at a time
from which little survives from Constantinople and
the imperial heartland. Vigilant Powers is the first
English-language book devoted to the subject.

Deriving from conferences, workshops, and lectures that took place in conjunction with the exhibition mentioned in the title, the thirteen papers in this volume focus on the art, architecture,
and topography of medieval and early modern
Greece. Multidisciplinary, geographically broad,
and diachronic in scope, these papers consider
the cultural and political agency of Greece as part
of the late antique world, the Byzantine Empire,
and the early modern Mediterranean.

Medieval Coins and Seals: Constructing Identity,
Signifying Power showcases these objects as intrinsic and highly significant aspects of medieval visual
culture, and contributes to an understanding of the
many ways in which they functioned as conveyors of
meaning in Western European, Islamic, and Byzantine
cultures from the fifth to the fifteenth century. The essays presented here, by art historians, numismatists,
sigillographers, and historians on a wide variety of
coins and seals, afford fresh insight into these tantalizing relics of medieval art and the vibrant cultural roles
they played at the time of their creation.

Language: English
This volume explores the
ways in which textiles were
used or invoked in the construction and display of power. The essays include material culture studies that explore
textile display, archival investigations that reveal patterns
of donation, technical studies
concerning design and production processes, as well as
art historical studies concerning the representation of textiles in other media. All
together, these essays offer insight into how textiles
were interwoven with notions of identity, status, and
power during the Middle Ages.

Review
"Though an anthology that brings together such a
prestigious company of international scholars might
function as a unit, Dimitrova and Goehring’s Dressing
the Part: Textiles as Propaganda in the Middle Ages,
merits a place on the reference collection of research
libraries. The chapters operate as unique scholarly
statements, offering important new ideas, especially to readers whose primary language is English (…).
Valuable insights concerning the visual art and social
history of the Middle Ages can be useful for various
ranks of scholarly readers."

Le culte des reliques n’appartient pas aux premiers siècles
de l’ère chrétienne, mais, à
partir du IVe siècle, il devint
un élément constitutif de la
nouvelle religion. Si l’on peut
s’étonner de la brusquerie du
phénomène, il faut aussi se
demander quelles en furent
les modalités. Sans doute
la Paix de l’Église, puis la
christianisation de l’Empire
romain, créèrent-elles les
conditions favorables à l’assouvissement de nouvelles
aspirations, mais un obstacle a priori insurmontable
n’allait-il pas très vite se dresser devant elles? Dans
la majorité des cas, comment faire pour retrouver – à
supposer qu’on y pensât encore – ce qui s’était perdu
? C’est alors que l’on se mit à «inventer», à découvrir
providentiellement, les corps des patriarches, des
prophètes, des apôtres, des martyrs, bientôt des
moines, des vierges ou des évêques, et jusqu’aux
reliques (secondaires) du Christ et de la Vierge.
Après avoir exposé pour elles-mêmes quelques-unes
des plus notables inventions survenues aux IVe – VIe
siècles, ce travail s’attache à en éclairer le mécanisme,
d’abord par une lecture suivie des récits qui nous en
ont transmis la mémoire, ensuite par l’examen des différents enjeux qu’elles sous-tendent.

Les communications prononcées au colloque international «Littérature, politique et religion en Afrique vandale», qui s’est tenu à l’Université de Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense les 6 et 7 octobre 2014, constituent
une synthèse sur l’Afrique vandale (439-533) qui faisait
défaut. Y est étudiée en effet successivement la situation politique (relations avec les Goths et avec l’empire
d’Orient), religieuse (la question de l’arianisme) et
culturelle de l’Afrique vandale. Dans le domaine littéraire, une place particulière a été faite à Dracontius,
certainement le plus grand auteur latin de l’Afrique
sous domination vandale, qui, depuis la publication
de ses Œuvres complètes dans la Collection des Universités de France, est mieux évalué à sa juste valeur.
L’ouvrage présente un solide bilan des connaissances
sur l’Afrique vandale, en même temps qu’il ouvre à des
interprétations, des pistes, des idées nouvelles.

Table of contents Volume II
Documentary papyri are an unparalleled source
for the study of women in antiquity. Among them
are numbers of female-authored texts which allow women’s voices to be heard. In the period
to 400 CE twenty-six of these texts provide information on Christian women’s religious lives. This
book analyses these papyri. They give insight into
Christian women’s knowledge and use of biblical
texts, their practice of prayer, their theological understanding of God, their lives and relationships.
This book also examines texts written to Christian
women or referring to Christian women among
which are a valuable group referring to ascetic
women. The perspectives of the papyri nuance
what is known about women from other sources.

This book focuses on
three Italian cities in the
early middle ages, Rome,
Ravenna and Venice, and
looks at them in a new
light. The unifying element linking them was
their common Byzantine past, since they remained in the sphere of
imperial power after the
creation of the Lombard
kingdom in the late 6th
century, up to 750. What
happened to them when
their links with the Byzantine Empire were almost
entirely severed in the 8th century? Did they remain
socially and culturally heirs of Byzantium in the 9th and
10th centuries? Or did they become part of the next
imperial powers of Italy, the Carolingian and the Ottonian empires? A workshop in Oxford in 2014 brought
together an international group of specialists to discuss these questions in a comparative context; the excitement of their debates is captured in the discussion
sections linking the papers in this volume.

The author examines the significance and uses of
written documents in medieval Serbian society. In so
doing, for the very first time the manifestations of everyday literacy are revealed in an area where the East
and the West intersect, i.e. in southeastern Europe.
Review
“Bubalo’s book presents a much needed opportunity
for traditional Western scholars to expand their knowledge of this dynamic region of the medieval world. All
comprehensive collections of works on literacy in the
Middle Ages will want to have this volume in their catalogues.”
Denis Crnkovic, in:
The Medieval Review,15.04.07
Based on an extensive source analysis, this book provides the biographical information of all early medieval Venetians, thus offering an invaluable research
tool for the history of Venice.
Review
"(...) the information that [this volume] conveys is
detailed, comprehensive, and thought-provoking. If
it does no more than provide accessible evidence to
support new arguments and suggest ways to process
it, this work will have contributed substantially to the
scholarly discourse on socio-political and cultural
formation in early medieval Venice, in the Mediterranean, and in Europe."

Si le texte de la Bible
et sa tradition manuscrite ont depuis
longtemps été l’objet
d’une attention soutenue de la part des
philologues, des exégètes et des historiens,
il en va tout autrement
pour ce qui est de son
«incarnation» dans un
objet matériel. C’est
aux diverses modalités
de cette «incarnation»
qu’était consacré le colloque international organisé à l’Université de Namur en mai 2012, dont les
contributions sont ici réunies. Cette rencontre fut
à la fois l’occasion de faire le point sur les connaissances déjà acquises sur la fabrication de la Bible de
l’Antiquité tardive au XVe siècle, et d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche. La perspective adoptée
se veut globale et comparative, et met en lumière
la diversité des solutions retenues pour répondre
aux problèmes posés par la réalisation matérielle du
texte sacré selon les époques et les contrées, des
premières bibles pandectes à la diffusion des bibles
incunables.

Les manuscrits décrits dans ce volume présentent des
textes de genres divers dont la date de composition
est toujours postérieure au XIIe siècle. Avec quelques
exceptions, ces textes furent rédigés et étudiés en Espagne, en Provence, en Italie et dans l’empire byzantin. Les cinq premiers manuscrits (704 à 708) portent
des commentaires sur le Guide des égarés ou d’autres
écrits relatifs à Maïmonide. On relève également, dans
le même domaine, cinq exemplaires des Guerres du
Seigneur de Gersonide (721 à 725). D’autres œuvres,
mêlant kabbale et philosophie, sont inédites et encore
trop peu connues : la Pierre de Saphir, d’Elnathan Qalqish (727 et 728); la Perfection de la beauté, de Samuel
Ṣarsa (729 à 732); les Demeures de Jacob, de Jacob ben
Salomon Ṣarfati (Hébreu 733), livre en partie autobiographique et copie autographe qui renvoient à la Provence du XIVe siècle. Plusieurs volumes sont consacrés
à la morale et à l’explication des commandements. Parmi eux, figurent deux copies d’un ouvrage du kabbaliste
Yosef Giqatilia (713 et 714) et quatre des Degrés des
vertus de Yeḥiel ben Yequtiel ‘Anav (715 à 718), livre qui
connut un grand succès en Italie. Deux manuscrits renvoient à l’aire ashkénaze (709 et 712).

MANUSCRIPT STUDIES
Ce livre offre un genre d’étude différent dans la
recherche sur les illustrations dans les manuscrits
hébreux, recherche qui concerne habituellement
leur iconographie et leurs sources. Ses sept chapitres montrent que la lecture des illustrations
avec un regard dégagé des habitudes, à la lumière
des événements de l’époque où elles ont été
créées, leur confère une dimension complémentaire en les transformant en outil dans l’étude de
l’histoire juive, jusqu’ici fondée sur des textes et
des documents d’archives.
Dans les exemples étudiés (ainsi, les illustrations
dans les manuscrits liés au scribe et enlumineur
Joël ben Siméon), ce regard révèle qu’imperceptible à la lecture traditionnelle, se cache un reflet
des relations complexes entre juifs et chrétiens.

This collection of articles aims to give an up-to-date
overview of the use of computer-assisted methods
in several fields of scholarship dealing with ancient
and medieval texts and manuscripts (from codicology
and palaeography to textual criticism and literary or
historical studies), across the boundaries of language
and period. In moving away from theoretical debates
about what the field of digital humanities is or should
be, we present a clearer picture of what textual scholars can achieve when they use computers for their
research needs and purposes, and what their expectations may be in terms of the technology and developments in computational methodology.
A workshop was held in February 2012 in Madrid to
stimulate a debate on textual criticism centred on the
analysis of Byzantine texts and their modes of publication, rewriting and diffusion. The main aim was to
provide future editors or scholars of the history of
texts with a rich typology of concepts to guide their
task, such as interpolation, paraphrasis, metaphrasis,
quotation, collection, amplification or falsification,
among others, but always taking into account that the
principles upon which the discipline of textual criticism was founded needed to be reconsidered when
dealing with the transmission of Byzantine texts. The
results of the different approaches put forward by the
contributors offer a broad palette of methodological
strategies that are, to a great extent, complementary,
and will, so we hope, illuminate the task of the future
editors with new reflections.

The Revue d’histoire des textes is published by the
IRHT. It covers a vast chronological and geographic
realm; it focuses on texts composed before 1500
from the Latin, Greek, Romance and oriental linguistic domains. It publishes preliminary material
for critical editions as well as studies on the whole
of a given textual tradition, illustrated as necessary by the edition of short texts and of previousy
unpublished fragments. An index of all the manuscripts cited makes each volume a valuable tool for
authors of catalogues, as well as for cultural historians and, in general, for all those interested in the
transmission of intellectual heritage.

This is the most complete and comprehensive study about the Book of Job
in Byzantine art. The fifteen Byzantine Illuminated Manuscript Illustrations
of the “Book of Job” studied, illustrated and discussed are: Vaticanus gr.
749, 751, 1231 and Pal. gr. 230 – Patmos 171 – Venetus, Marc. gr. 538 –
Sinaiticus gr. 3 – Jerusalem, Taphou 5 – Athos, Vatopedi 590 and Lavra B
100 – Athens, Byzantine and Christian Museum, MS. 62 – Oxford, Barocci
201 and Laud gr. 86 – Paris, BnF, gr. 134 and 135 – St. Petersburg, gr. 382
(former folio of Taphou 5). The number of miniature illustrations included
in these fifteen manuscripts, dating from the 9th to the 16th century, comes to more than 1800 of which 2/3 of the about 380 illustrated herein
are previously unpublished manuscript images.
Review
“This volume will be indispensable to historians of Byzantine manuscript
illuminations and scholars interested in the history of reception of Job.”

B. Neil and P. Allen consider Gelasius’ letters on various
problems of his time, such as displaced persons, persecution, ransoming captives, papal property management, … This approach rounds out the existing portrait
of Gelasius, and make a contribution to a new history
of the late-antique papacy, which will revise the view
that Gregory the Great was a stand-alone micro-manager without precedent. Comparisons with earlier
fifth-century popes like Innocent I and Leo I, and with
later popes like Hormisdas and Pelagius I, show the trajectory from Gelasius to Gregory I.
Ce volume d’hommages à

des femmes dans l’Antiquité, depuis quelques figures
mythiques ou réelles dans
la littérature (Homère, Cicéron, Virgile, Ovide, saint
Jérôme, Robert Garnier) jusqu’aux institutions familiales (selon Cassiodore). La deuxième offre diverses
analyses de l’art de la lettre chez des auteurs tels que
saint Jérôme encore, Sidoine Apollinaire ou Juste
Lipse. La troisième est consacrée à l’univers biblique:
interprétations chrétiennes de modèles anciens, vies
de saints (sainte Barbe, saint Martin de Tours), questions d’ecdotique, relecture contemporaine enfin
chez le Hongrois Miklós Hubay.

TEXT & AUTHOR
Pour saisir les différences et parentés entre les auteurs chrétiens de l’Antiquité tardive, il peut être très
fructueux de comparer leurs manières d’interpréter
les Écritures. L’épître aux Galates est spécialement
intéressante dans cette perspective, étant donné
les questions fondamentales qui y sont engagées
: le conflit d’Antioche, l’attitude de Paul à l’égard de
la Loi, sa doctrine de la justification, ses explications
sur l’allégorie d’Agar et Sara, ainsi que sa défense
de la liberté chrétienne. Ce volume est le fruit d’un
séminaire dépendant du Laboratoire d’études sur
les monothéismes (CNRS/EPHE) et du Département
d’études patristiques du Centre Sèvres – Facultés jésuites de Paris.
This book brings together
views from various disciplines on the concept of
authority in Greek and Latin literature from Antiquity
to the Renaissance. More
specifically it deals with
the questions how texts
attempt to gain authority,
and if and how they use—
or abuse—earlier writings
in the construction of their
own authority. Moreover,
this volume examines to what extent a text’s authoritative claims influence its transmission and reception
and how these claims themselves are subject to evolution over time. In this context, special attention is
devoted to compilation literature, such as anthologies
and commonplace books.

BYZANTIOS
STUDIES IN BYZANTINE
HISTORY AND CIVILIZATION
The Studies in Byzantine History and Civilization series aims to cover all aspects of Byzantine culture: political and religious history,
literature and philology, theology, archaeology and art history, from the late antique to
the late Byzantine periods. The series will also
include the aftermath of Byzantine history
and culture ("Byzance après Byzance") and
the interaction between Byzantium and the
East, such as with Arabs and Persians, as well
as between Byzantium and the West, such as
with the Pope and Latin-speaking people.

The present volume brings together the papers presented at the conference “Synesios von Kyrene: Politik – Literatur – Philosophie”, held at the University
of Constance in November 2008. They offer a broad
approach to selected aspects concerning Synesius’
works as well as to the historical background, philosophical contexts, and reception in scholarship
and literature, from Late Antiquity to the present.

The title of this volume,
“Theologica Minora”, may
wrongly suggest that the
essays contained herein purport an antiquarian interest
in some minor theological
quibbles within the vast
ocean that is Byzantine theological literature. On the contrary, this volume illuminates
texts and theological genres
which have so far remained
unexplored or under-investigated by the vast majority of scholars. Whilst unlocking the as yet unknown
troves of florilegia, religious poetry, and monastic
kephalaia, this volume investigates the cultural background of these different endeavors and provides an
image of Byzantine theological literature which repudiates the rigid narratives proposed to date.

TEXT & AUTHOR
This publication presents the first study of the defining features of Psellos’ Chronographia, written
in the 11th century.
Review
“It takes courage to make Psellos’ Chronographia
the subject of major study. Not only has the
scholarly world been awaiting such a study for
decades, but many editions needed for making a
full investigation of Psellos are also still lacking. Initial steps for any major enquiry into his works are
therefore quite difficult. In this revised version of
his thesis, Frederick Lauritzen has produced such
a study and it yields new and important results.”

The learned literary language of Byzantium is
subjected to new and
ground-breaking analysis
in this volume. It combines the expertise of
linguists and scholars of
Byzantine literature to
challenge the assumption that learned mediaeval Greek is merely the
weary continuation of
ancient Greek or, worse
still, a poor imitation of
it, while proposing that it needs to be treated as a
literary idiom in its own right.

Review
"This volume on the language of the Byzantine
learned literature fills a gap in the field (...) it should
be said that the contributions are – without exception – of high quality; most are written by the authority on the field (...) this volume will undoubtedly
foster more research."

Πρόνοια in his Commentary

This study examines the role
of theology in the biblical commentary of a fourth-century
pastor and teacher Diodore
of Tarsus. The notion that
theology and scripture are inextricably connected in early
Christian thinking has become
a scholarly commonplace in
contemporary patristic scholarship. But the nature of the
connection has been less than
clear, particularly with respect to Diodore’s commentary on Psalms 1-50. B. Wayman argues that a specific account of πρόνοια (cooperative, reciprocal, and
immanent.) supplies Diodore’s primary theological
framework for interpreting the Psalms by generating
the questions he asks of the text and shaping his view
of other themes in the Psalms.
Review
"(...) la recherche de l'A. (...) invite à porter un regard
neuf sur le commentaire de Diodore. On lui saura gré
d'avoir su réunir sous le concept théologique de Providence l'apport des études antérieures consacrées
à la méthode herméneutique de l'Antiochien et à sa
conception d'un "sens supérieur" de l'histoire – la
θεωρία –, d'obliger certains critiques à réviser leurs jugements sur la dimension doctrinale du commentaire,
et d'inviter la communauté scientifique à en faire une
lecture profondément renouvelée."

En este volumen se analiza la práctica de la compilación en sus diversas
realizaciones
durante
la Edad Media (enciclopedias, compendios y
florilegios) y se determina, por una parte, el
alcance de su contribución al saber medieval y,
por otra, su papel como
instrumento del trabajo
intelectual y como mediadora en la transmisión
de la cultura. El libro presenta las Actas del Coloquio
anual de la FIDEM 2012, que se celebró del 20 al 22
de junio de 2012 en la Universidad Complutense de
Madrid organizado por el Departamento de Filología
Latina. Los autores, especialistas de más de treinta
universidades y centros de investigación, ofrecen un
completo panorama sobre las investigaciones que se
están llevando a cabo en torno a las compilaciones
medievales.
In this volume, which
draws on the proceedings of the ‘Medieval
Letters between Fiction
and Document’ conference held in Siena
in 2013, scholars analyse the historical value
of medieval letters in
both Latin and other
European
languages
and explore different
approaches to the field.
Comprising contributions on methodology,
Latin literature up to the fifteenth century, Byzantine and Romance literature, and courtly letters, this
unique book also documents the debate on unedited texts — including women’s love letters — and on
celebrated cases of disputed authorship such as the
Epistolae duorum amantium and Dante’s Epistola to
Cangrande. It thus offers a significant re-evaluation of
the huge and partly unpublished heritage of medieval
letters across Europe, and provides important insights
into the use of these unique sources in social, literary,
and legal history.

Jacques de Vitry, né
dans le troisième quart
du XIIe siècle et mort à
Rome en 1240, est issu
de la génération qui,
au tournant du siècle,
fut acteur et témoin
des
transformations
intervenues en Occident chrétien et dans
l'Eglise en particulier.
Homme de savoir et
d'action, Jacques nous
a laissé dans des écrits
variés et nombreux le
témoignage de ses expériences: l'étudiant parisien, le
chanoine régulier du prieuré d'Oignies, le prédicateur
de la croisade contre les Albigeois et les Sarrasins,
l'évêque d'Acre acteur de la cinquième croisade, le
cardinal de l'Eglise romaine. On découvre ainsi une
personnalité complexe et attachante chez laquelle
trois traits de caractère ne cessent de se répondre: la
passion de l'étude associée à l'acuité du regard; l'ambition de servir; la recherche d'une voie spirituelle
patiemment explorée au fil de l'expérience et de l'âge.

Review
"Une bibliographie (1627
titres!), un index des
textes bibliques, des apocryphes de l'A. et du N.
T., des textes anciens, un
index des auteurs modernes, un index géographique, un autre des fêtes
liturgiques et une table
des illustrations complètent cet ouvrage dont
l'impeccable présentation
est conforme à la tradition des Éditions Brepols.
Notre recension ne peut donner qu'un aperçu de son
extraordinaire richesse. Parions que l'on ne tardera
pas à oublier son titre pour ne retenir que le nom de
son auteur. Quand il s'agira de connaître le destin de
l'un ou l'autre des Douze, on devra consulter impérativement et pendant très longtemps le Burnet."
TEXT & AUTHOR
L’objet de cet ouvrage collectif est d’étudier quelques
moments majeurs des interprétations et usages
des Seconds Analytiques
d’Aristote. Il n’entre pas
dans les débats contemporains concernant le texte
même d’Aristote et n’examine que de façon marginale les premiers commentaires grecs; il a pour objet
premier leur transmission
ultérieure jusque dans l’occident médiéval. Dans ce parcours, il prend en compte
le monde byzantin et le monde arabe. Une grande partie de l’ouvrage est ensuite consacrée aux XIIIe et XIVe
siècles en Occident médiéval, mais on trouvera aussi
quelques études examinant la place des Seconds Analytiques chez quelques humanistes italiens ou dans le
nominalisme du début du XVIe siècle.

The fourth volume of this ambitious undertaking
comprises the critical edition – sometimes the
very first critical edition – of the Councils of the
Eastern Orthodox Churches, i.e. those sharing the
profession of faith defined in the first seven Ecumenical Councils. Among them one may find the
Protodeutera (861), the Council of Constantinople
of 879, the Tomus Unionis (920), the Local Synods of Constantinople against the Syro-Jacobites
(1030) and against John Italos (1082), the Council
on ‘My Father is greater than me’ (1166), on the
Filioque (1285) and on Palamas (1341-1351), the
Synod of 1484, annulling the so-called union of
Florence, the Synods about Lucaris, the Panorthodox Synods of Jerusalem (1672) and Constantinople (1872), the Local Synods of Constantinople
(1691 and 1755), and additional materials, like the
Patriarchal decision of annullment of the Excommunications between Rome and Constantinople
(paralleled in COGD 3).
It also includes the first publication of five synodika of Orthodoxy: the Georgian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Russian and Greek synodikon with a new
edition of the oldest surviving version of the latter
(11th c.), which was the basis for the subsequent
translations. Moreover, the volume will present the Conciliar tradition of the Patriarchate of
Moscow and of all Russias, including the Stoglav
(1551), and the Councils of Moscow of 1666/7
and 1917/8 and more recent Councils of the 21st
Century.

The Florilegium Coislinianum is a Byzantine anthology
dated to the ninth or tenth century. It deals with subjects ranging from the creation of angels to sin and
virtues. Although it is an important document, it has
only recently received full attention from the scholarly
community. The present edition is the editio princeps
of the first and longest book of the Florilegium Coislinianum. It is based upon a detailed examination of
all the known witnesses of the florilegium, and a thorough comparison with its sources. The philological
introduction studies the manuscript tradition and the
relationship between the manuscripts, explains the
orthographical peculiarities of the tradition, defines
the ratio edendi and discusses the most relevant textual corruptions of the archetype.

Language: English
The Sacrum Armamentarium by Andronikos Kamateros is one of the most important and voluminous
remaining Byzantine inedita from the 12th century.
Written for Emperor Manuel Komnenos (1143-1180),
this writing is a ‘stockpile’ of theological texts to be
used in refuting the theological arguments of the opponents of the Orthodox Church.
This volume presents the first critical edition of the
first, i.e. anti-Latin part of the text. The topics under
discussion in this part cover two of the points of disagreement between Catholicism and Orthodoxy: the
primacy of the Roman Church and the procession of
the Holy Spirit, the Filioque.
Review
"(...) In sum, an edition of this quality brings with it
the potential for tremendous progress on a subject
that seems to be interesting more people with each
passing year. It is an extraordinary and brilliant piece
of work."
Tia M. Kolbaba, in:
Les discours de Grégoire de Nazianze (330-390) ont été
traduits en géorgien à plusieurs reprises, et ont donné
lieu à des commentaires nombreux. Cinq volumes ont
déjà été publiés de ces versions géorgiennes (Corpus
Christianorum. Series Graeca, 36, 42, 45, 52 et 58 =
Corpus Nazianzenum, 5, 9, 12, 17 et 20), contenant,
dans l'ordre, les discours 1, 45, 44, 41, 15, 24, 19, 38,
43, 39 et 40, qui suivent l'ordre liturgique des discours,
en géorgien comme en grec. Les discours 11, 21 et 42,
qui viennent ensuite dans l'ordre liturgique, font l'objet
de ce sixième volume. Ces trois discours existent dans
deux versions géorgiennes différentes, dues respectivement à Euthyme l'Hagiorite et à Ephrem Mtsire.
Le volume contient, outre une introduction, le texte
critique des deux discours dans leurs deux versions
géorgiennes, un apparat critique détaillé et des notes
comparant le texte géorgien à son modèle grec.

Language: Italian
The Etymologicum Symeonis is an important Byzantine dictionary, which was compiled in the first half of
the twelfth century and is extant in two redactions,
each preserved in two manuscripts: Etym. Sym. proper, and Magna Grammatica. The latter is a version of
the Etym. Symeonis that was enlarged, around the
middle of the thirteenth century, on the basis of the
Etymologicum Magnum. With letters Α and Β already
published in 1969 and 1972, the critical edition of the
following three letters of the Etym. Symeonis was a
long-time desideratum in Classical and Byzantine
studies, and opens up another part of this important
text for scholarly research.
Review
"This is a high-quality edition, both with regard to the
editorial and printing aspects. It is to be hoped that
Baldi, or others, will continue the task and finally
achieve the complete publication of Symeon's work."

This volume presents the first critical edition of
Nicephorus Blemmydes’ De virtute et ascesi. The Greek
text is preceded by a detailed analysis of the manuscript
tradition. Special attention is also given to the indirect
tradition of this ethical treatise. The reason is that
Nicephorus' treatise has been included in full in the Synopsis Variarum Disciplinarum by the philosopher-monk
Joseph Rhacendytes (ca. 1260-1330). The main difference is the addition by Joseph of a passage from Maximus the Confessor’s Ad sanctissimum presbyterum
Marinum (CPG 7697.1) after the introductory part of
Blemmydes’ De virtute et ascesi. Joseph’s De virtute is
presented here for the first time in a critical edition.

The twenty Poems of Theodore Metochites (ca. 12701332) constitute a unique corpus of approximately
10.000 verses composed in the traditional Homeric
hexameter, heavily influenced by the poetic works of
Gregory of Nazianzus. The poems of Metochites, both
in their entirety and each one of them separately, are
a curious mixture of various genres (autobiography,
ekphrasis, letter, hagiographical praise), which testify to their author's wide range of interests and his
bold attempt to renovate the traditional patterns of
Byzantine poetry. Some poems are addressed to his
friends (e.g. Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos or Leo
Vardales), but most of them are addressed to the author himself. Metochites was quite pessimistic about
the situation of the state and of his own affairs, and
gave expression to his inner feelings of frustration and
sadness in a rather unrestrained manner.
While several poems had been published in the
past (in editions that are either difficult to obtain or
not entirely adequate), this is the first full edition of
Metochites’ Carmina. In the introduction the editor
also sketches a balanced portrait of Metochites as a
poet, underlining both his merits and his limitations.
J. Grand'Henry (ed.)
ably be identified with the homonymous student of
Maximos Planoudes. Merkourios composed four dodecasyllabic poems with a total of ca 2,190 verses:
two hagiographical metaphrases concerning St Theodore Teron and St Theodore Stratelates, a rewriting of
a pseudo-Chrysostomic homily on the Annunciation
and a iambic canon on St John Chrysostom.
The edition is preceded by an original introduction on
the poet and his poems. The final chapter presents
the editorial principles. The establishment of the text
is accompanied by detailed apparatuses, mainly the
critical apparatus as well as the apparatus of sources
and significant parallel passages. A series of indices
completes the work.
CORPUS CHRISTIANORUM IN
TRANSLATION
The series Corpus Christianorum in Translation
provides modern translations of patristic and medieval Greek and Latin texts that have been edited
in one of the Corpus Christianorum series (Series
Latina, Series Graeca and Continuatio Mediaevalis). These translations, which are published independently from the critical editions, are intended
to render the texts edited in Corpus Christianorum
accessible to those who do not have the opportunity to read them in the original language. For
those conversant with the original language, the
translations can serve as a tool for quick reference
and an aid in interpreting the Greek or Latin text.

Rédigé en 363-364, le
traité Contre les manichéens de Titus de
Bostra est la plus importante réfutation chrétienne du manichéisme.
Elle se distingue par sa
composition en deux
volets (réfutation rationnelle et réfutation
scripturaire) et par la richesse de sa documentation (on y dénombre
quelque 150 «citations manichéennes»). Préservé
en grec aux deux-tiers et intégralement dans une
version syriaque de la fin du IVe ou du début du
Ve siècle, cet ouvrage est d’une importance capitale pour l’histoire de la théologie chrétienne ancienne et du manichéisme. Ce volume offre une
double traduction française annotée du grec et du
syriaque, la première dans une langue moderne,
établie sur une base philologique sûre. L’édition
critique gréco-syriaque et sa traduction française
permettent désormais une nouvelle approche
des sources manichéennes et de leur réfutation.

The semi-encyclopaedic Thesaurus or Treasury
was composed in the middle of the thirteenth
century by a little-known spiritual author called
Theognostos. It was intended to provide an overview of the sort of knowledge considered essential for a young prince, as one chapter is an exhortation to a future emperor. Thus, it contains
a summary of the Old Testament, with curious
reflections (e.g. on female wickedness and the ingenuity of Solomon), chapters on dogmatic questions, moral exhortations attributed partly to Amphilochios and backed by pious stories, florilegia
and some questions-and-answers. In general, the
work opens a window into the mind of the ordinary believer in mediaeval Constantinople.
The source text of this volume appeared in 1979 in
the Corpus Christianorum Series graeca as volume 5.
Novatian was a priest of
Rome in the third century who wrote a commentary on the Rule of
Faith, commonly titled,
On the Trinity. Although
the document is not
well known outside of
the field of early Christian studies, it made
an important contribution to the doctrine of
the Trinity in the early
Church, and as several
scholars have maintained, it helped set the stage
for the definition of the faith known as the Nicene
Creed. Novatian would eventually find himself at
the center of a controversy which led to a schism
of the Church, and so his works were relegated to
obscurity for centuries. However, in its time, Novatian’s On the Trinity was the epitome of Roman
theology, and as some have argued, it was even
ahead of its time. This new translation contains
the complete works of Novatian translated into
English, with an introduction and full bibliography
of Novatian studies. It takes into account the latest scholarship on Novatian, and brings the documents up to a new level of clarity and readability.
The source text of this volume was edited in 1972
by G. F. Diercks as volume 4 in the Corpus Christianorum Series Latina.
Il s'agit ici de l'édition critique de la version arabe des
discours 11 (à Grégoire de Nysse) et 41 (sur la Pentecôte) de Grégoire de Nanzianze. Dans la majorité
des cas, on peut constater que le texte de la version
arabe du discours 11 suit le texte grec de la famille
m plutôt que celui de la famille grecque n, mais avec
de nombreuses particularités propres à la version
arabe, en particulier celles qui apparaissent dans
deux manuscripts du Sinaï parmi les plus ancients de
la version arabe de Grégoire. Pour éditer la version
arabe du discours 41 (sur la Pentecôte), on dispose
de deux familles de manuscripts, la branche égyptosinaïtique et la branche syrienne ou syro-libanaise,
branches qui présentent dans le discours 41 arabe de
nombreux traits qui les opposent l’une à l’autre. En
ce qui concerne les rapports de cette version arabe
avec le texte grec original, on constate que dans certains cas, la famille arabe x syrienne ou syro-libanaise
a tendance à suivre la famille n de manuscripts grecs,
tandis que la famille arabe xyz a tendance à suivre la
famille m de manucripts grecs.

Clement I of Rome (pseudo-)
Pope Honorius III's Letters
to Frankish Greece and Constantinople
612 p., 3 b/w ill., 2 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, 2015, HB,

Series: Mediterranean Nexus 1100-1700 3
This volume gathers 277
letters of Pope Honorius
III (1216-1227) concerning
Frankish Greece and Constantinople. These letters
constitute an indispensable source for the early
history of the territories
conquered during and just
after the Fourth Crusade
of 1204, for which almost
no local archival material
survives. The Latin texts
of many of the letters are
published here for the
first time, and almost all the letters have been reedited from the manuscripts, primarily the papal registers in the Vatican Archives. In addition, the volume
makes the letters available to non-specialists through
a lengthy historical introduction, exhaustive English
summaries of all the letters and complete translations
of the most significant ones. Maps, tables, indices,
and a guide to papal letters make the volume a useful
tool for future studies of this fascinating and controversial phase in the history of Greece and the papacy.
The Syriac Pseudo-Clementines.
An Early Version of the First
Christian Novel
352 p., 3 b/w ill., 120 x 190 mm, 2014, PB,

Language: English
Series: Apocryphes 4
The Pseudo-Clementines were
popular reading throughout
the Middle Ages in a Latin
translation and reemerged in
early modern times via vernacular versions and especially the Faust-legend. Often
considered the first and only
ancient Christian novel, the
Pseudo-Clementines originated in Syrian Jewish-Christianity in the early third century.
Two ancient Syriac translations
from the fourth century reflect Greek texts no longer
preserved; they contain the essence of Clement’s
biographical account and of Peter’s teachings and
debates with Simon. Of particular interest is Peter’s
detailed review of the origins of Christianity, which apparently seeks to rebut the canonical Acts of the Apostles and lays the blame for the unbelief of the Jews
squarely at the feet of Paul. This volume presents the
first complete translation of the Syriac into any modern
language and thereby opens the door for a new stage
of historical research and literary appreciation.

O. Ranieri, Il Gadl di san Pietro, patriarca
di Alessandria e ultimo dei martiri. Edizione del testo etiopico e traduzione
italiana
G. Colin (ed.)
This volume publishes a new Coptic handbook of ritual power, comprising a complete 20 page parchment
codex from the second half of the first millennium AD.
It consists of an invocation including both Christian
and Gnostic elements, ritual instructions, and a list
of twenty-seven spells to cure demonic possession,
various ailments, the effects of magic, or to bring
success in love and business. The codex is not only
a substantial new addition to the corpus of magical
texts from Egypt, but, in its opening invocation, also
provides new evidence for Sethian Gnostic thought in
Coptic texts.
A Coptic Handbook of Ritual Power is the first volume
in the series The Macquarie Papyri, which will publish
the papyri in the collection of the Museum of Ancient
Cultures, Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia).
Dans la deuxième évangélisation de l’Éthiopie, qui
suivit la restauration des souverains salomonides, la
province septentrionale du Tigré occupa une place
prépondérante; le Wāldebbā, district aride et désolé de cette région, est célèbre par sa vie monastique
intense (toujours florissante de nos jours). Le plus
connu de ses anachorètes fut Samuel, «l’ami des
bêtes sauvages»; en plus d’être remarquablement
versé dans l’exégèse sacrée, ce saint personnage vécut en effet toute sa vie dans la familiarité des lions,
des léopards et des éléphants. Une carrière aussi
singulière et éclatante fut narrée, dès après la mort
de Samuel, par une Vie (gadl) haute en couleurs. Un
demi-siècle plus tard, environ l’an 1500, elle fut définitivement enrichie d’une série de 70 miracles qui
fait de l’œuvre une des plus riches de l’hagiographie
éthiopienne. L’édition du gadl et des Miracles est fondée sur l’unique manuscrit, encore conservé dans le
monastère du saint, qui renferme la totalité du texte.

LA THÉOLOGIE BYZANTINE ET SA TRADITION se propose d’offrir au monde universitaire et au public
cultivé une première mise au point d’envergure et un instrument de travail fondamental pour entreprendre des recherches approfondies dans ce domaine. C’est la raison pour laquelle un soin particulier
a été accordé à la prosopographie, à la constitution de répertoires complets des œuvres de chaque auteur considéré – cette section constitue l’esquisse d’une Clavis Auctorum Byzantinorum, sur le modèle
de la Clavis Patrum Graecorum de M. Geerard et J. Noret –, au repérage des manuscrits pour les œuvres inedites, à l’exhaustivité et à la présentation critique des bibliographies en langues occidentales et
orientales, à l’élaboration d’indices détaillés. Pour illustrer l’exposé sur la doctrine des auteurs traités,
partie centrale de chaque contribution, l’ouvrage présente également un grand nombre de textes pour
la première fois traduits ou edités de façon critique.
"These volumes will become indispensable works of reference for all interested in the tradition of Byzantine theology ... The real interest of this volume lies in the immense detail it provides, and it is scarcely
possible to do more than mention the wealth of detail in a brief review."
