STUDIA PATRISTICA VOL. LIII - LXXPapers presented at the Sixteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies

held in Oxford 2011

Edited by VINZENT M.

The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on

Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis

of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world

and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century

to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small

and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of docu-

ments, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers

put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic

scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

MARCION AND THE DATING OF THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELSVINZENT M.

Are the Synoptic Gospels at odds with Early Christian art and archaeology? Art and archaeology can-

not provide the material basis ‘to secure the irrefutable inner continuity’ of the Christian beginnings

(Erich Dinkler); can the Synoptic Gospels step in? Their narratives, however, are as absent from the

first hundred and fourty years of early Christianity as are their visual imageries. ‘Many of the dates

confidently assigned by modern experts to the New Testament documents’, especially the Gospels,

rest ‘on presuppositions rather than facts’ (J.A.T. Robinson). The present volume is the first systematic

study of all available early evidence that we have about the first witness to our Gospel narratives,

Marcion of Sinope. It evaluates our commonly known arguments for dating the Synoptic Gospels,

elaborates on Marcion’s crucial role in the Gospel making and argues for a re-dating of the Gospels

to the years between 138 and 144 AD.

THEODOTUS OF ANCYRA’S HOMILIES AND THE COUNCIL OF EPHESUS (431)FRENKEL L.M.

A substantial proportion of surviving late-antique conciliar homilies are by Theodotus, metropolitan

bishop of Ancyra. Here presented in English translation, they provide valuable evidence for an essen-

tial and effective means of communication by which councils presented and enforced themselves. The

analysis relates their content to the conciliar settings, considers the conventions of ancient rhetoric,

and reflects the reception of the texts, especially through collections of conciliar documents. The book

clarifies the regional parameters and disputes over episcopal territorial authority in which Theodotus’

theology and pastoral activity developed. Both informed his overall positive and constructive perspec-

tive on faith and the role of preachers and bishops, promoting unity and cohesion. The analysis of

Theodotus’ involvement in the First Council of Ephesus, especially in the techniques used to shape

and preserve allegiances and to defend a view or decision, contributes to an understanding of the

processes of identity formation, seeking agreement, and proclaiming consensus, even when it had not

been achieved.

Les lettres échangées entre les épiscopats d’Afrique et de Rome durant la première phase de la contro-

des doctrines (formation et infléchissement des théories sur la grâce et le libre arbitre), l’histoire des

institutions tardo-antiques (et notamment cette entité, plus ou moins tangible au Vème siècle, qu’on

nomme par commodité «chancellerie ecclésiastique»), enfin la critique des textes afférents, produits

d’une épistolographie officielle qui soulève de multiples enjeux: diplomatiques et ecclésiologiques

quant à leur fond; philologiques et ecdotiques quant à leur forme et à leur transmission.

EMPIRE, CHURCH AND SOCIETY IN THE LATE ROMAN NEAR EAST: GREEKS, JEWS, SYRIANS AND SARACENS(Collected Studies, 2004-2014)

MILLAR F.

This book brings together thirty separate studies of the complex religious, communal and religious

history of the Roman Near East in the period from the conversion of the Emperor Constantine to

Christianity in CE 312 to the first Islamic invasion in CE 632. A newly-written Epilogue, ‘Open

Questions’, reviews the different fields of study involved, and asks how far what we find helps to

understand the origins of Islam. Pagan Greeks and Greek-speaking Christians, as well as Jews and

Samaritans using Hebrew and Aramaic, co-existed, as did a new Christian community using Syriac, a

branch of Aramaic. The complex and extensive evidence for this multicultural world has had to be

approached in separate studies, while retaining a sense of communal co-existence and mutual relation-

ships. The papers have been edited so as to appear in a consistent form, and are arranged in groups

intended to offer a coherent overall structure. It is hoped that they will stimulate further work on this

important phase in cultural and religious history.

THE NEW JUDASThe Case of Nestorius in Ecclesiastical Politics, 428-451 CE

BEVAN G.A.

The New Judas is a new account of the life of Nestorius (428-431 CE), the Christological controversy

that engulfed him, as well as the critical imperial interventions into ecclesiastical politics during the

period from the First Council of Ephesus to the Council of Chalcedon. This work endeavours to use

both Nestorius’ own Liber Heraclidis, preserved only in Syriac, as well as the unprecedented abun-

dance of primary documents in Greek and Latin from Acta Conciliorum Oecumenicorum, to answer a

question of fundamental historical importance: How could the teaching of Christ’s two natures, one

so closely identified with Nestorius, deposed in 431, be vindicated in all its essentials at the Council

of Chalcedon in twenty years later? The answer requires not only a reconsideration of the role of the

supposedly timid emperor Theodosius II, but also a new understanding of the evolving position of

Nestorius’ chief opponent, Cyril of Alexandria.

THE UNIQUELY AFRICAN CONTROVERSYStudies on Donatist Christianity

DUPONT A., GAUMER M.A., LAMBERIGTS M. (eds)

Roman North Africa was one of the major centres where ancient Christianity thrived, and there

Donatism was the most prevalent form of Christianity. This neglected story from Late Antiquity is

treated in a multi-disciplinary way in the current volume. The Uniquely African Controversy: Studies on Donatist Christianity seeks to uncover what the identity and historical context of Donatism was,

and why it disappeared. What was Donatism’s legacy? Who were its leaders and adherents? Why did

Augustine of Hippo become so embroiled in controversy with the Donatist Church? The contribu-

tions to this volume come from scholars from North America, Europe, and Australia, and they cover

topics including archaeology, Roman law, theology, martyrology, and ecclesiastical history.• 2015 – Late Antique History and

SEEING THROUGH THE EYES OF FAITHNew Approaches to the Mystagogy of the Church Fathers

VAN GEEST P. (ed.)

In the course of the past years an interest in precisely the mystagogy of the Church Fathers developed

at various Dutch universities. Interest in the mystagogy of the Church Fathers increased because it

was recognised that its study did justice both to the intention of the Church Fathers themselves and

to the increasing demand for spirituality. It was not their primary intention to put forward a rational

reflection on the depositum fidei as such or to pass on knowledge of it as a goal in itself. Their goal

was rather to initiate a process aimed not so much at intellectual formation as at an existential trans-

formation by means of rituals, catechesis and the explanation of stories and images from Biblical

traditions. In this book the main focus was on the mystagogy of the Church Fathers. The assumption

was that philological, historical and theological methods complement each other in the approach to

the Church Fathers as mystagogues. Consequently the manner in which they attempt to shape their

introduction into the mystery of Christ was regarded from an interdisciplinary point of view. The

contributions to this book form a first sketch of the research area of the mystagogy of the Church

Fathers, as it is taking shape at present.

und bietet die erste kritische Edition der Schrift sowie deren erste Übersetzung in eine moderne

Sprache. Sie unternimmt darüber hinaus zum ersten Mal den Versuch, anhand einer eingehenden

Analyse der hierfür maßgeblichen Stellen die Abfassungzeit des Werkes zu bestimmen sowie dessen

sprachlich-stilistische Merkmale zu benennen. Im Mittelpunkt der Studie steht – neben der Edition

der erhaltenen griechischen Fragmente des Kommentars – eine detaillierte exegetisch-theologische

Analyse der Schrift. Die Untersuchung schließt mit einer komprimierenden Darstellung der von

Cyrill im analysierten Kommentar behandelten Themen sowie mit einer zusammenfassenden

Präsentierung der exegetisch-hermeneutischen Prinzipien der Bibelauslegung des alexandrinischen

PAUL’S GRAECO-ROMAN CONTEXTBREYTENBACH C. (ed.)

These papers of the 62nd Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniense (July 16-18, 2013) illustrate that the

Apostle Paul is an excellent example for the cultural exchange so typical of the eastern provinces of

the Roman Empire during the early imperial age. He was a Jew from Tarsus and regarded himself,

according to his own words, as Hebrew descended from Hebrews, and as Pharisee according to the

way of interpreting the Law. However, he wrote his letters in Greek, showing acquaintance not only

with the Greek translations of the Law and the Prophets, but also with contemporary Greek philo-

sophical concepts, rhetorical style and e.g. the tradition of Euripides’ tragedies. He lived and worked

in several Roman colonies and absorbed Romanized concepts, metaphors and a vision of reaching

from the eastern frontier of the Empire to Spain in the West. Influenced by different intellectual

worlds, Paul stood at the crossroads of cultural interaction.• 2015 – Bibliotheca Ephemeridum

THE APOCRYPHAL GOSPELS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EARLY CHRISTIAN THEOLOGYSCHRÖTER J. (ed.)

Recent scholarship has become increasingly aware of the significance of the apocryphal gospels for the

transmission and interpretation of the Jesus tradition in the first three or four centuries. Against this

background the 60th Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniense was devoted to these texts and their role and

status in the formation of the New Testament Canon. The present volume contains the proceedings

of the conference. Some of its contributions deal with well-known apocryphal gospels as, e.g., the

Gospels of Thomas, Mary, Peter or Judas. Other essays treat thematic aspects, such as the influence

of Platonic tradition, the way Jesus is presented in these gospels, or his dialogues with his (male and

female) disciples. Important facets of the present volume are also early traditions about Jesus, e.g., in

the so-called Infancy Gospels or in texts on the Virgin Mary. The volume thus gives an extensive

overview of important areas of current research on the apocryphal gospels within early Christian

theology.

THE ASCENSION OF ISAIAHBREMMER J.N., KARMANN T.R., NICKLAS T. (eds)

This book is one of the first modern collections of studies on important aspects of the Ascension of Isaiah, which occupies a special place among the early Christian writings, due to its complicated origin

and its relevance in regards of the early Christian self-understanding in respect of the Jews. The

volume starts with an analysis of the place of the Ascension in the development of early Christian

prophecy and continues with several chapters that discuss the problems of the date, provenance, genre

and interpretation of the Ascension as well as its potential relationship to Marcion. The following

chapters focus on various aspects of the Ascension, such as its mystical character, oracular nature,

self-designation, Johannist constellation, religious experience, cosmology, the descent of Christ, escha-

tology and the Virgin birth. A final chapter looks at P. Amh. I 1, the Greek witness to the Ascension of Isaiah. The volume concludes, as has become customary, with a bibliography and index.• 2015 – Studies on Early Christian

ORIGENIANA UNDECIMA: ORIGEN AND ORIGENISM IN THE HISTORY OF WESTERN THOUGHTJACOBSEN A.-C. (ed.)

The 11th Origeniana conference took place at Aarhus University, Denmark, in August 2013. The theme of the conference was Origen and Origenism in the History of Western Thought. The present volume contains a large selection from the papers that were given at the conference. The majority of the papers deals with various aspects of the influence and reception of Origen and his thought and writings in Western traditions to this day. As was the case also in previous conferences, there was an opportunity to give papers on other aspects of current Origen research. The volume contains seven sections: Origen’s thought in modern theology and philosophy; philological approaches to Origen’s works; Origen’s thought in the West in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; Origen’s thought in the West until John Scotus Eriugena; Origen in Western mysticism and liturgy; the reception of Origen in the East.

HIERONYMUS ALS EXEGET UND THEOLOGEInterdisziplinäre Zugänge zum Koheletkommentar des Hieronymus

BIRNBAUM E., SCHWIENHORST-SCHÖNBERGER L. (eds)

Der Commentarius in Ecclesiasten des Hieronymus war jahrhundertelang der Standardkommentar

zum Buch Kohelet. Er avancierte zum Referenzwerk einer Spiritualität, die im Vanitas-Motiv und in

der Übung des contemptus mundi die abendländische Mentalitäts- und Geistesgeschichte bis in die

Neuzeit hinein in Anknüpfung und Widerspruch zutiefst geprägt hat. Im vorliegenden Band werfen

die unterschiedlichen Disziplinen: Exegese, Patristik, Judaistik, Literaturwissenschaft, Philologie und

Kirchengeschichte einen gemeinsamen Blick auf den Kommentar und beleuchten zentrale Themen

und Motive, Intention und zeitgeschichtliche Situierung des Kommentars. Zudem werden hermeneu-

tische und methodologische Grundfragen der patristischen Bibelauslegung diskutiert. Die lange Zeit

als überholt bezeichnete Kirchenväter-Exegese wird dabei neu in das exegetische Gespräch gebracht

und auf ihre Relevanz für eine zeitgemäße Bibelauslegung hin befragt. Hieronymus empfiehlt sich

dabei in besonderer Weise als Gesprächspartner, ist er doch einer der wirkmächtigsten Vertreter einer

Auslegungstradition, in der Theologie und Exegese, Glaube und Wissenschaft, Altes und Neues

Testament noch nicht getrennt waren.

oder andere Zwecke nutzbar gemacht? Wo wird Geschichte interessengeleitet geschrieben? Gar inst-

antike Christentum nach. Dabei kommt das Verhältnis zweier literarischer Gattungen in den Blick:

Historiographie und Apologetik. Christliche Geschichtsschreibung hat mit apologetischen Motiven

begonnen (“Altersbeweis”) und bleibt in unterschiedlicher Form davon geprägt. Patristiker, Philologen,

Althistoriker und Mediävisten beleuchten das Themenfeld von verschiedenen Seiten. Die Beiträge

gehen auf die Tagung der patristischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft in Basel im Jahr 2013 zurück. Die Linien

werden bis in die frühe Neuzeit ausgezogen, denn die reformatorische Historiographie und der frühe

Basler Buchdruck bilden den oberen zeitlichen Horizont des Bandes.

Die Erforschung der sogenannten antiken Gnosis hat sich in den letzten Jahren zunehmend plurali-

schiedensten Perspektiven und mit einem sprachlich und geographisch weit gespannten Bogen ange-

boten. Die Hinzuziehung neuer Methoden bzw. Forschungsrichtungen wie z.B. der Kodikologie und

der Narratologie und deren Anwendung auf die einschlägigen (alten) Texte führt dazu, dass allzu

einseitige oder auch unzureichende Sichtweisen aufgebrochen werden und bisher unbeachtete Aspekte

bereichernd hinzukommen. Der Band bietet eine Palette ebenso unterschiedlicher wie zahlreicher

Bausteine auf dem Weg zu einem neuen Verständnis. Auf der einen Seite steht der Wunsch, eine

Einheit der Bewegung zu konstatieren. Nimmt man jedoch die Differenzen zwischen Selbst- und

Fremdbildern, die Unterschiede zwischen angeblichen Gründern gnostischer Schulen und für diese

Schulen in Anspruch genommenen Lehren in den Blick, drängt sich die Frage auf, ob man die

Disparatheit dieser Bewegung mit einem Gesamtbild gerecht werden kann oder ob nicht vielmehr das

hier gebotene Spektrum gerade den geeigneten Zugang zu dem Phänomen darstellt.

RELIGION AND COMPETITION IN ANTIQUITYENGELS D., VAN NUFFELEN P. (eds)

The notion of competition has become crucial to our understanding of Greek and Roman religion

and is often invoked to explain religious changes and to describe the relationship between various

cults. This volume seeks to raise our awareness of what the notion implies and to test its use for the

analysis of ancient religions. The papers range from Classical Greece, Hellenistic Babylon, Rome and

the Etruscans, to Late Antiquity and the rise of Islam. They seek to determine how much can be

gained in each individual case by understanding religious interaction in terms of rivalry and competi-

tion. In doing so, the volume hopes to open a more explicit debate on the analytical tools with which

ancient religion is currently being studied.

CHILDREN AND FAMILY IN LATE ANTIQUITYLife, Death and Interaction

LAES C., MUSTAKALLIO K., VUOLANTO V. (eds)

This volume continues the series of five previous Roman Family publications, and puts special focus

on social history and living conditions in the familial contexts. It concentrates on three interlinked

aspects of family life and interaction: liminal situations regarding demography and ecological factors

that lay down the framework for family life, liminal conditions on the edges of familial life regarding

child labour, child slaves and sexual attitudes towards children, and local traditions which confront us

with people and cultures at the borders of the Roman Empire. By focusing on three recurring points

of departure (Late Antiquity, children and childhood, and the encounter between various cultures),

and by presenting a wide variety of methodological approaches (from rhetorical analysis of discourses

to statistical analysis, and from experiential life stories to iconographic analysis), the present volume

offers a view on the status quaestionis of Roman family studies, and widens the thematic points of

departure for the study of the Roman family, thus hopefully pointing to fruitful directions for further

studies.

PRIESTS AND PROPHETS AMONG PAGANS, JEWS AND CHRISTIANSDIGNAS B., PARKER R., STROUMSA G.G. (eds)

The emperor Julian pointed out that the duties of priesthood were better understood among

‘the impious Galileans’ (i.e. Christians) than among his pagan contemporaries. Like the emperor, the

essays in this volume look in both directions. Its pages are populated by very diverse figures: Plutach,

Aelius Aristides, Alexander of Abonouteichos, Daniel the Stylite, Gregory of Nazianzus, Shenoute of

Atripe, Mani, Muhammad, and a host of anonymous Greek and Roman priests, prophets, and divin-

ers. The priests of second temple Judaism are considered too. Both in the Greco-Roman and the early

Christian worlds the neat division between priests and prophets proves hard to sustain. But in terms

of fame and influence a strong contrast emerges between Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian proph-

ets; this is why it is only among Jews and Christians that ‘false prophets’ are feared. Two recurrent

preoccupations are the relation of priests and prophets to secular power, and the priest/prophet not

as reality but as idea, an imagined figure. Leading scholars of the religions of antiquity come together

in this wide-ranging and innovative volume.

is worth mentioning that for the first time some papers are organized in panels dedicated to very

specific topics, in which current research is particularly alive, such as “Bawit: a monastic community,

its structure and texts”, “Thebes in Late Antiquity”, or “The reconstruction and edition of Coptic

Biblical Manuscripts”. The outcome is a series of tools for the study of Christian Egypt and essays

about Coptic literature, art and archaeology seen on the backdrop of Late Antique and Medieval

Egyptian society and religion.

INSIDE AND OUTInteractions between Rome and the Peoples on the Arabian and Egyptian Frontiers in Late

Antiquity

DIJKSTRA J.H.F., FISHER G. (eds)

In recent years, exciting new discoveries of inscriptions and archaeological remains on the Arabian

Peninsula have led to a re-evaluation of the peoples on the Arabian frontier, which through their

extensive contacts with Rome and Persia are now seen as dynamic participants in the Late Antique

world. The present volume contributes to this recent trend by focusing on the contrast between the

‘outside’ sources on the peoples of the frontier - the Roman view - and the ‘inside’ sources, that is,

the precious material produced by the Arabs themselves, and by approaching these sources within an

anthropological framework of how peripheral peoples face larger powers. For the first time, the situ-

ation on the Arabian frontier is also compared with that on the southern Egyptian frontier, where

similar sources have been found of peoples such as the Blemmyes and Noubades. Thus, the volume

offers a richly-documented examination of the frontier interactions in these two vibrant and critically-

important areas of the Late Antique East.

EGYPT IN THE FIRST MILLENNIUM ADPerspectives from New Fieldwork

O’CONNELL E.R. (ed.)

This volume contains the proceedings of the twenty-first annual British Museum Egyptology

Colloquium, which was the first in the series dedicated to post-pharaonic Egypt. The volume inves-

tigates continuity and change in the archaeological record in the First Millennium AD, focusing on

the transitions to and from Late Antiquity (AD 250-800), when Egypt’s population became Christian

and, later, Islam was introduced. The fourteen contributors, representing the overlapping disciplines

of Egyptology, Archaeology and Art History with specialisations in the pharaonic, Roman and Late

Antique periods, present the results of new archaeological research at a range of sites currently under

investigation. Seeking to identify trends and compare results, the volume is organised according

to four major themes: 1) settlements, 2) cemeteries, 3) settling rock-cut tombs and quarries and

4) temple- church-mosque. Many of the contributions address adaptive reuse of earlier architecture,

the recycling of earlier monuments as building material (i.e. spolia), or both. Traditionally neglected

by modern scholars in favour of other periods in Egypt’s long history, the study of First Millennium

AD archaeology offers increasingly better opportunities to evaluate both Egypt’s distinctiveness and

its role within the wider Mediterranean region.

COPTIC PARADIGMSA Summary of Sahidic Coptic Morphology

STERLING G.E.

Facility in reading an ancient language requires several competencies: control of the morphology,

a working vocabulary of common words and phrases, and a grasp of syntax. This pedagogical aide

addresses the first of these by collecting the basic forms and patterns of Sahidic Coptic and presenting

them in a convenient format. It is not a full grammar, but a supplement to a grammar. The work

provides beginning students with an overview of the morphology of Sahidic Coptic so that they can

see the whole of a part of speech or pattern as they learn discrete parts. It offers those who once

learned Coptic but have not been able to maintain it with a concise review. While the work is not

exhaustive, it is complete enough that it can serve as a useful reference for those who teach Coptic. • 2008

COPTIC IN 20 LESSONSIntroduction to Sahidic Coptic With Exercises & Vocabularies

LAYTON B.

Coptic in 20 Lessons is written by the author of the most authoritative reference grammar of the Coptic

language, and is based on decades of pedagogical experience. In easy steps and simple explanations, it

teaches the patterns and syntax of Sahidic Coptic, along with the most useful vocabulary. Drills,

compositions, and translation exercises enable the student to gain fluency. All words that occur more

than fifty times in the Sahidic New Testament are introduced lesson by lesson in vocabulary lists,

which are arranged by semantic field and accompanied by both Greek equivalents and English glosses.

The book concludes with three chapters of the Gospel of Mark, in which all new vocabulary is glossed

in footnotes. Coptic in 20 Lessons is the ideal resource for use in the classroom or for teaching oneself

Coptic. Critical acclaim for this book: “Coptic in 20 Lessons is the up-to-date teaching grammar that

COPTIC GNOSTIC CHRESTOMATHYA Selection of Coptic Texts with Grammatical Analysis and Glossary

LAYTON B.

Layton’s «Coptic Gnostic Chrestomathy» is an essential tool for scholars and students of the Gnostic

corpus. This useful and accurate text edition contains a large, representative selection of works in

Coptic, ranging from Sethian Gnostic classics such as the «Apocryphon of John» to Valentinian works

like the «Gospel of Truth» and «Gospel of Philip» to the Mesopotamian «Gospel of Thomas the

Contender», all but one from the Nag Hammadi manuscript hoard. Laid out in a readable literary

format, the Coptic text is discreetly analyzed into its component morphs, clarifying the grammatical

structure at every point. Greek words are annotated in footnotes, and esoteric Gnostic vocabulary in

Egyptian Coptic is covered in a separate glossary. A brief introduction to each work points to informa-

tion on problems of dialect, grammar, manuscript, and scholarly bibliography. Contents (in Coptic):

Apocryphon of John, Apocalypse of Adam, Hypostasis of the Archons, Thunder-Perfect Mind,

Trimorphic Protennoia, Gospel of the Egyptians, Zostrianos, Allogenes, Three Steles of Seth, Gospel

of Truth, Prayer of the Apostle Paul, Treatise on Resurrection, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Thomas,

Book of Thomas the Contender. Corresponding English translations of all these works can be found

in Bentley Layton, The Gnostic Scriptures.

LES ACTES DE PIERRE ET DES DOUZE APÔTRES (NH VI, 1)GHICA V.

Acta apostolorum et conte fantastique, récit post-résurrectionnel et parabole de la quête du Royaume,

hymne à la résistance face aux persécutions mais aussi mythe fondateur de la mission chrétienne,

ouvrage de propagande tout autant que précis d’évasion, le premier écrit du codex VI de Nag

Hammadi se prête à de multiples lectures. Cette polysémie découle d’un processus rédactionnel com-

plexe, dont le texte conserve de multiples traces, qui se cristallise en quatre discours distincts dissimu-

lés dans autant de récits à la fois autonomes et interdépendants : une théologie plurivoque, en même

temps extatique et symbolique, véhiculée par l’histoire hybride de Lithargoël, à la fois allégorie du salut

de l’âme et psychanodie, un enseignement euthymique transmis par le Jésus ressuscité d’une scène

épiphanique, une théologie diaconale et une théorie novatrice de la mission chrétienne, corolaires d’un

récit missionnaire, et enfin une théologie ascétique et une apologie de la perpétuation de l’Église,

renfermées dans une ample métaphore de l’endurance. Si la dernière étape de sa composition peut être

attribuée à un cercle mélétien du tout début du IVe siècle, cet apocryphe semble circuler, non seule-

ment en Égypte mais aussi à Rome, en Nubie et en Palestine, au moins jusqu’au XIIe siècle.

EXPOSÉ DU MYTHE VALENTINIEN ET TEXTES LITURGIQUES (NH XI, 2 + 2A-C)FUNK W.-P., MAHÉ J.-P.

Les Valentiniens ont-ils institué une première et une seconde classe du salut? Saint Irénée les en accuse

en dénonçant l’arrogante impeccabilité des parfaits de la secte, leur mépris pour les psychiques de la

Grande Église, leur eschatologie à double fond. L’Exposé du mythe valentinien et les textes liturgiques

du codex XI de Nag Hammadi nous présentent un tableau bien différent. Pas question de vivre en

conventicules d’occultistes frileux, il faut se mêler à la masse des fidèles. Nul fossé ne doit séparer les

esprits parfaits des âmes simples. Tout ce monde visible est une école de l’invisible, où se dévoilent

les desseins de la Providence. Jésus est venu pour «l’économie», c’est-à-dire pour les concessions misé-

ricordieuses, en vue du «redressement» et du salut de tous. Rarement un écrit gnostique aura livré, de

la rédemption, une image plus unitaire. Les textes liturgiques de l’annexe, sur le Baptême et sur

l’Onction et l’Eucharistie nous introduisent au cœur de la communauté. En cette fin du IIe siècle, le

valentinisme n’est pas encore une secte. C’est une interprétation globale de la vie chrétienne qui espère

pouvoir concerner la totalité des fidèles.

Fragment sur le passage de l’âme

CRÉGHEUR É.

Comment parvenir au trésor de la lumière, où nous pourrons atteindre le repos et chanter la gloire du

Dieu inaccessible? Fascinants et déroutants avec leurs diagrammes et leurs puissances célestes aux noms

mystérieux, les Livres de Iéou nous en révèlent le chemin, parsemées d’obstacles et d’embûches, ainsi

que les mots de passes et les sceaux nécessaires pour en déjouer les gardiens. Pour quiconque s’intéresse

aux origines chrétiennes, ce volume rend disponible pour la première fois une traduction fiable, toutes

langues modernes confondues, de ces textes énigmatiques et uniques, qui suscitent la fascination à la

fois des spécialistes et des non-spécialistes. Mettant en scène un dialogue entre Jésus et ses disciples,

les Livres de Iéou révèlent à leurs lecteurs la configuration des sphères célestes et fournissent tout ce

que les âmes doivent connaître (sceaux, chiffres secrets et formules à réciter) et recevoir (initiation aux

mystères et baptêmes) pour franchir ces mondes. Le manuscrit accompagne ces révélations de Jésus de

plusieurs diagrammes et dessins, qui illustrent les mondes célestes et les sceaux dont les âmes doivent

se marquer. Malgré leur importance pour la connaissance de la diversité des courants gnostiques, les

« deux Livres de Iéou » figurent parmi les textes les plus méconnus et négligés de cette littérature. Ce

volume vise à leur redonner la place qui leur revient.

DAS KOPTISCH HAGIOGRAPHISCHE DOSSIER DES HEILIGEN KOLLUTHOSArzt, Märtyrer und Wunderheiler

SCHENKE G.

Wer war der Heilige Kolluthos, dieser berühmte Arzt des spätantiken Ägyptens, dem so zahlreich

Orakelfragen gestellt wurden, dass sie bei Ausgrabungen in der Stadt Antinoe zuhauf zutage treten?

Der hier vorgelegte Band bietet eine Neuedition der für den Heiligen Kolluthos koptisch bekannten

literarischen Texte, die bislang nur einzeln und weit verstreut publiziert worden sind. Auf der

Grundlage dieses Textcorpus wird das Leben des ägyptischen Heiligen, seine ungewöhnliche Existenz

und ärztliche Laufbahn, sein Martyrium und schließlich die als von seinen Gebeinen ausgehend wahr-

genommene Wunderkraft näher beleuchtet. Vor dem Hintergrund der für die christliche

Märtyrerliteratur typischen Textgattungen – Martyrium, Encomion und Miracula – wird das für den

Heiligen Kolluthos kohärente sahidische Textcorpus nicht nur neu ediert und übersetzt, sondern auch

im Einzelnen erklärt und kommentiert. Jedem Text ist eine Einführung in seine jeweilige Textgattung

beigefügt, die ihre spezifischen Eigenheiten herausarbeitet, wodurch der Sinn und Zweck dieser

Literaturform verdeutlicht wird.

DIE PACHOM-BRIEFEÜbersetzung und Deutung

JOEST C.

Erstmals werden hier alle zwölf Briefe des oberägyptischen Mönchsvaters Pachom (287–347) auf

Deutsch veröffentlicht. Die merkwürdige „Geheimschrift“, die mehr als die Hälfte dieser Dokumente

durchzieht, hat schon immer Kopfzerbrechen bereitet, angefangen bei Pachoms Mitbrüdern und bei

Hieronymus, der sie ins Lateinische übersetzt hat, über den Jesuiten Athanasius Kircher (1602–1680),

bis hin zu Forschern des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wie Emanuele Testa, Ilona Opelt und Hans

Quecke. In diesem Buch wird ein Lösungsvorschlag vorgelegt, der in sich konsistent ist und sich in

der Durchführung als tragfähig erweist. So tritt neben die Übersetzung der Briefe auch ihre Deutung.

Besonders auffallend ist das Buchstabenquadrat, das sich mitten unter den Briefen befindet, dessen

Deutung sich aber gleichfalls an die für die Briefe entwickelten Lösungsansätze anschließt. Die Botschaft Pachoms, die in allen Briefen zum Ausdruck kommt, stützt sich auf vier einfache Grundgedanken:

1. Warnung vor irdischer Gesinnung, 2. In der Bedrängnis finden wir Rettung, 3. Gottes Gebot

besteht in der Bruderliebe, 4. Diese gilt es zu erfüllen angesichts der Ewigkeit. Mit diesen Gedanken

ist Pachom verankert in der Mönchstheologie seiner Zeit. Sein Spezifikum als „Vater der Koinobiten“

tritt aber in dem 3. und 4. Grundgedanken in besonders charakteristischer Weise hervor.

Die Pachomianer-Regeln sind uns vollständig nur auf Latein in der Übersetzung des Hieronymus

überliefert. Nachdem H. Bacht schon vor längerer Zeit den lateinischen Text in deutscher Übersetzung

publiziert hatte, werden sie hier estmals auch unter Berücksichtigung der koptischen Regelteile auf

Deutsch veröffentlicht und eingehend analysiert. Dabei werden auch die Forschungsgeschichte und

die Wirkungsgeschichte ausführlich dargestellt. Das Regelganze ist zu Recht mit Pachoms Namen

verbunden, es ist seine originale Schöpfung und inspiriert von seinem Geist. Aber es verdankt sich

nicht einem bewussten literarisch-schriftstellerischen Prozess. Die Regeln sind aus dem praktischen

täglichen Leben hervorgegangen, und sie sind auch nur in Rahmen einer lebendigen Autoritätsstruktur

sinnvoll. Sie sind noch ganz in die Kultur der Mündlichkeit eingebettet, in der sie ihre Interpretation

und ihre Anwendung fanden.• 2015 – Corpus Scriptorum Christiano-

L’ÉCRITURE DE L’HISTOIRE EN SYRIAQUETransmissions interculturelles et constructions identitaires entre hellénisme et islam

DEBIÉ M.

Pourquoi et comment a-t-on écrit l’histoire en syriaque entre le VIe et le XIIIe siècle? C’est à cette

question qu’essaie de répondre ce livre en tentant de comprendre les enjeux de l’écriture historique

qui fut florissante en syriaque, l’une des grandes langues de culture du Proche et Moyen-Orient dans

l’antiquité tardive et au Moyen Âge. Pourquoi les chrétiens des empires byzantin et sassanide puis

musulmans ont-ils commencé à écrire l’histoire en syriaque alors qu’ils parlaient et lisaient toujours le

grec et ont-ils continué alors que l’arabe était devenu leur langue vernaculaire et culturelle? Comment

ont-ils compris et interprété leur passé en reprenant aux traditions grecques, judéo-chrétiennes et

mésopotamiennes pour comprendre leur propre époque? En étudiant les acteurs, les lieux et les formes

de l’écriture des chroniques et des histoires ecclésiastiques, c’est aussi aux enjeux identitaires que porte

la construction de l’histoire que s’intéresse cet ouvrage.

CATALOGUE OF THE SYRIAC MANUSCRIPTS AND FRAGMENTS IN THE LIBRARY OF DEIR AL-SURIAN, WADI AL-NATRUN (EGYPT)BROCK S., VAN ROMPAY L.

Deir al-Surian, the famous Monastery of the Syrians in Egypt, has long been known for its unique

collection of Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, and Ethiopian manuscripts. This catalogue provides detailed

descriptions of the 48 Syriac manuscripts (many of them composite) and the more than 180 fragments

that are preserved in the Monastery today. Ranging in date from the 5th to the 18th century and with

a majority of them being earlier than the 10th century, the manuscripts present us with major authors

and works of the Syriac literary tradition. They include biblical texts (among them the earliest dated

Gospel manuscript in any language), original Syriac compositions, and translations from Greek and

(occasionally) Coptic. Several works were previously unattested. Connections with manuscripts from

Deir al-Surian that are preserved in European collections (primarily the British Library) are indicated

wherever relevant. Colophons and various kinds of notes by scribes, readers, owners, and occasional

visitors also receive attention, thus allowing interesting glimpses into the history not only of individual

manuscripts, but also of the Monastery and its library. Accompanying the catalogue is an album

containing more than 300 pages of images.

APOCRYPHA, PSEUDEPIGRAPHA AND ARMENIAN STUDIES. COLLECTED PAPERS: VOLUME IIISTONE M.E.

This volume comprises a collection of papers by Michael E. Stone, written over a period of 35 years.

Stone is a leading scholar in two different fields of research, the Jewish literature of the Second Temple

period including the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Armenian Studies. So this collection includes essays relat-

ing to the origins and nature of the Apocryphal literature and its relationship with the Dead Sea

Scrolls, as well as more specific studies devoted to themes that have interested Stone throughout his

career, including Messianism, 4 Ezra, Adam and Eve, and Aramaic Levi Document. His Armenian

interests have embraced the Armenian Biblical text, Armenian pilgrimage to and presence in the Holy

Land and Armenian paleography and epigraphy. Papers included in the volumes, some of which were

originally published in obscure venues, touch on all these themes.• 2015 – Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta

TEXTS OF VARIOUS CONTENTS IN CHRISTIAN PALESTINIAN ARAMAICSOKOLOFF M.

This book has been planned to be used together with the author’s Dictionary of Christian Palestinian Aramaic. The texts which form the basis of this volume were originally published in a large number

of scattered publications making both their citation in the dictionary and their use by the reader dif-

ficult. The purpose of the present work has been to gather all of these texts into one convenient

volume and to republish them in the original Palestinian Aramaic script and format. Additionally, a

number of Appendices dealing with this Aramaic dialect have been added to clarify other issues con-

cerning the dictionary.• 2014 – Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta

A DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN PALESTINIAN ARAMAICSOKOLOFF M.

Christian Palestinian Aramaic is the name of the Aramaic dialect spoken and written by the Melkite

community in Palestine during the first millennium CE. Nearly all of the texts that have survived in

this dialect are translations of religious texts originally composed in Greek for the use of members of

this community whose only language was Aramaic. The only complete dictionary of this dialect was

published over a century ago by Fr. Schulthess in 1903. However, since then, many new texts have

been published and many previously known ones have been restudied and republished more accu-

rately by various scholars. The present work has taken into account all of the existing texts as well as

the secondary literature in order to make this new dictionary an essential tool for Aramaic scholarship.• 2014 – Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta

SCRIPTS BEYOND BORDERSA Survey of Allographic Traditions in the Euro-Mediterranean World

DEN HEIJER J., SCHMIDT A., PATARIDZE T. (eds)

This collection of essays deals with the phenomenon of allography, taken in the sense of the practice

of writing a language in the script of another language. Although by no means all texts highlighted in

the essays are of a religious character, they are written in the scripts that are connected with the three

monotheistic traditions stemming from the Eastern Mediterranean: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The time span covered ranges from Late Antiquity to (early) modern times. The volume contains

studies on such cases as Aljamiado (Romance languages of Spain written in Arabic or Hebrew script

but also Bosnian in Arabic script), Judaeo-Arabic, karshuni (Arabic but occasionally also other lan-

guages written in Syriac script), and various combinations of languages written in the Greek, Syriac,

Armenian and Georgian scripts. In each case, the approach is both philological, concentrating on the

various systems of adaptation of the scripts to the phonetics of the languages in question, and his-

torical, with a focus on aspects of intercultural contact and exchange, as well as on the emergence and

development of the various allographic traditions over time. Particularly important questions, dis-

cussed in several contributions, are whether specific communities used scripts of a language other than

their own for practical or rather for ideological, identity-related considerations, and how these writing

practices relate to the sociocultural contexts in which they functioned and developed.

This book comprises twenty-one selected papers from the Fourth Congress of the international schol-

July 2012. These articles reflect studies on Coptic, Ethiopian and Eritrean, Syriac, Greek-Byzantine,

Slavonic, and other liturgies. The authors examine, inter alia, the rites of matrimony, the blessing of

the waters, and the Eucharistic Prothesis; developments in Christian iconography; early Christian

worship and liturgical theology; new methodological approaches. The papers discuss both the his-

torical practice of diverse Eastern Churches and the current situation. The present collection of articles

shows clearly the progress made in a fascinating field of research.• 2014 – Eastern Christian Studies 22

SCRIBES AND SCRIPTURESThe Church of the East in the Eastern Ottoman Provinces (1500-1850)

MURRE-VAN DEN BERG H.L.

Little is left that testifies to the life of the Church of the East in the sixteenth to early nineteenth

centuries. What we have, are manuscripts written by mostly clerical scribes for mostly clerical readers.

There is much that suggests, however, that these texts functioned in a much wider circle than merely

that of the learned. This study takes the scribal production of texts, from the Holy Scriptures to the

first traces of popular writing, as its main source to analyze the major changes that took place in the

Church of the East in the period. The most important of these was the introduction of Western

Catholicism, which ultimately led to the creation of two separate hierarchies, today’s Chaldean

Church and the Assyrian Church of the East. How this community dealt with these monumental

changes, how that affected everything from the production of texts to the fabric of society as a whole,

and how that contributes to our understanding of this Church’s modern day off-shoots, is the topic

of this study.

SYRIAC ENCOUNTERSPapers from the Sixth North American Syriac Symposium, Duke University, 26-29 June

2011

DOERFLER M., FIANO E., SMITH K. (eds)

The Sixth North American Syriac Symposium brought together scholars from across North America,

Europe, the Middle East, and India. Syriac Encounters offers twenty-four papers that were originally

delivered at the Symposium, and represents a cross-section of both the Symposium and the current

state of Syriac studies more broadly. Although most of the papers in the volume focus on the late

antique heyday of Syriac Christianity, several papers contribute to the study of other, related fields,

including Islamic studies and Middle Eastern anthropology. The blossoming of Syriac studies beyond

church history and Semitic philology can be attributed to a wider recognition of the Syriac language

and culture as a bridge linking (and fostering encounters between) Rome and Persia, Byzantium and

Baghdad, and Christianity and Islam.

THE SYRIAC VERSION OF JOHN CHRYSOSTOM’S COMMENTARY ON JOHN I. MÊMRÊ 1-43Critical edition of the Syriac text (T) and English translation (V)

CHILDERS J.W.

St. John Chrysostom was one of the most popular and influential Greek Fathers in Syrian churches.

His works began to be translated into Syriac in the fifth century, after which they significantly

impacted the shape of Syriac exegetical, homiletical, dogmatic, and spiritual writing. These volumes

make available for the first time an edition of the Syriac text and English translation of St. John

Chrysostom’s Exegetical Homilies on the Gospel of John, typically known in Syriac as Chrysostom’s

Commentary on John, Homilies (Mêmrê) 1–43. The text is edited on the basis of the extant main

manuscripts, from the 6th–8th centuries, in addition to excerpts preserved in various collections.

Introductions to the two volumes explore the Syriac manuscript tradition, the origin and technique

of the translation, its value as a witness to the Greek text, the nature of its many biblical citations, and

the impact of the version on the Syriac tradition. The volumes include an orthographical index

and an index of biblical citations.

JULLIEN F.

Le règne du souverain Khusro Ier (531-579) fut une période-phare de l’histoire de la Perse sassanide,

marquée aussi par des persécutions sporadiques à l’encontre des chrétiens d’origine zoroastrienne.

Parmi ces martyrs figurent de grands personnages de la société civile tels Grigor Pirian-Gusnasp, géné-

ral en chef des armées du roi, un haut-fonctionnaire et juge du nom de Yazd-panāh ainsi qu’un notable

de la cour, ‘Awira. Le plus illustre fut sans doute le catholicos Mār Abba (540-552), réunificateur de

l’Église d’Orient après un schisme de près de vingt-cinq ans, canoniste, exégète, restaurateur de la

discipline ecclésiastique qui avait été affaiblie depuis l’action entreprise par Barsauma en 484, contro-

versiste réputé avec les zoroastriens et les chrétiens syro-orthodoxes, médiateur de paix pour les com-

munautés chrétiennes. Ces textes, mis par écrit par des contemporains des événements, sont les seules

hagiographies syro-orientales de cette époque à nous être parvenues en syriaque et présentent une

remarquable qualité d’informations sur le paysage socio-religieux et politique de l’Orient au VIe siècle.

DIONIGI AREOPAGITA. NOMI DIVINI, TEOLOGIA MISTICA, EPISTOLELa versione siriaca di Sergio di Rēš‘aynā (VI secolo)

Edizione critica del testo siriaco (T) e traduzione italiana (V)

FIORI E.

Sergio, medico capo di Rēš‘aynā, primo traduttore di Galeno in siriaco ed erudito dai molteplici

interessi, si accinse alla traduzione delle opere di Dionigi l’Areopagita nell’ultima fase della sua vita,

che si chiuse a Costantinopoli dopo una missione diplomatica a Roma, nel 536. La sua versione degli

scritti areopagitici, realizzata pochi anni dopo la comparsa in greco del misterioso corpus pseudepi-

grafo, è pervenuta in un solo manoscritto, il Sinaitico siriaco 52 del monastero di Santa Caterina.

Nonostante questo importante testimone sia in parte lacunoso, è stato tuttavia possibile ricostruirlo

quasi interamente a partire da frammenti ritrovati al Sinai stesso e in diverse biblioteche europee.

Il primo volume presenta l’edizione critica dei tre scritti più speculativi di Dionigi: i Nomi divini, la

Teologia mistica e le Lettere. Il secondo volume contiene la traduzione italiana della versione di Sergio.

DIE BRIEFE 30-39 DES OSTSYRISCHEN PATRIARCHEN TIMOTHEOS IKritische Ausgabe des syrischen Textes (T) und deutsche Übersetzung (V)

HEIMGARTNER M.

Die vorliegenden Bände veröffentlichen die Briefe 30-39 des ostsyrischen Patriarchen Timotheos erst-

mals auf breiter Handschriftenbasis und mit einer Übersetzung in einer modernen Sprache. In den

langen Briefen 34-36 entwirft Timotheos eine eigentliche Bibelhermeneutik in Auseinandersetzung mit

dem Islam. Zentral dabei ist die Interpretation des Titels «Diener» für Christus. Er war schon im frühen

Christentum in Auslegung der Gottesknechtslieder bei Deuterojesaja gebräuchlich, wurde nun aber in

der Diskussion mit dem Islam problematisch, denn er schien auszusagen, dass Jesus nur ein Prophet sei.

Die Briefe 30-33 und 37 geben Einblick in die früheste Überlieferungsgeschichte der Briefe 34-36. In

den Briefen 38 und 39 stellt sich Timotheos der Frage, wie Texte von Gregor von Nazianz zu verstehen

sind, welche in den Konzilsakten von Ephesos zur Verurteilung des Nestorius verwendet werden.

THE HOMILY OF ZÄR’A YA‛ƎQOB’S MÄṢḤAFÄ BƎRHAN ON THE RITE OF BAPTISM AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTIONCritical Edition of the Ethiopian Text (T) and English translation (V)

GETATSHEW HAILE

The text in this volume (with its translation) is from the writings of Emperor Zär’a Ya‛ǝqob, the

prolific scholar who reformed the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in the fifteenth century. In this hom-

ily he addresses in detail the ritual of Christian baptism and the requirement of religious instruction

for the baptized faithful as well as the would-be baptized catechumens. The ritual for adults is dis-

cussed and defined with thoroughness and clarity not found in any other source. Significantly, the

text suggests that there was at that time a large number of non-Christians who converted to Orthodox

Christianity, either of their own free will or due to pressure from Christian rulers, including the

Emperor. As always, Zär’a Ya‛ǝqob uses his authority to enforce religious instruction as he details it.

He prescribes harsh corporal punishment, usually flogging, to individuals who do not attend school

without acceptable excuses—which are illness and going on military expeditions—as well as to clergy

who neglect their duty to teach and to district rulers who do not force people to come to school.

e di un corpus di trattati teologici, omiletici e apologetici. La vita e le opere di Sulaymān al-Ġazzī sono

state oggetto di studio sin dagli inizi del secolo scorso, tuttavia l’intero corpus algazzianus è stato edito

per la prima volta da Neophytos Edelby solo negli anni ‘80 del ‘900. La presente edizione comprende

solo gli scritti teologici in prosa editi e tradotti in italiano. Il principale progresso rappresentato da

questa nuova edizione è costituito dal tentativo di ricostruire l’archetipo della tradizione in ottemperanza

alle regole della critica testuale neolachmanniana. Le caratteristiche linguistiche del medio arabo sono

state rispettate e conservate nel testo critico come esse si presentano nella fonte manoscritta più antica,

mentre un apparato critico è stato interamente dedicato alla registrazione delle varianti linguistiche

attestate negli altri testimoni. L’editore dunque ha cercato di rispettare sia la volontà autoriale espressa

dal contenuto testuale, sia la forma linguistica dei testi in cui essi verosimilmente furono composti.

CORPUS OF BYZANTINE CHURCH MOSAIC PAVEMENTS IN ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIESMADDEN A.M.

This is a catalogue of church, chapel and monastery mosaic pavements discovered within the borders

of Israel and the Palestinian Territories (Roman Palestine). Chronologically, it spans the early 4th to

8th centuries, the latter period seemingly designating the cessation of mosaic manufacture in early

Christian edifices in Palestine based on current archaeological findings. Sites are arranged alphabeti-

cally and according to the four Roman provinces that encompassed the region, and to which it is

believed each originally belonged. The primary name chosen for each site (in most cases) correlates

with the site name used in the indispensable gazetteer Tabula Imperii Romani Iudaea Palaestina

(1994), allowing for relatively simple site identification and cross-referencing. In order to simplify the

mosaic design descriptions, the catalogue utilises a system of geometric pattern coding. For each site,

a map reference is given for the Israel Grid, followed by a brief outline of its excavation or survey, a

thorough description of the pavements including the coding system, inscriptions (if present), a com-

mentary including proposed dates (if given) and bibliography. The indexes include a concise list of

occurrences for each pattern code, figural designs and iconoclastic damage; for inscriptions, ecclesias-

tical titles, named mosaicists and cited provincial dating eras.

ON THE FRINGE OF COMMENTARYMetatextuality in Ancient Near Eastern and Ancient Mediterranean Cultures

AUFRÈRE S.H., ALEXANDER P.S., PLEŠE Z. (eds)

This volume contains the papers of the second meeting of the international scholarly network “The

Hermeneutic of Judaism, Christianity and Islam,” held in Aix-en-Provence (September 25-27, 2008).

Drawing on Gérard Genette’s theory of the five different types of “transtextuality” (Palimpsestes, Paris

1982) – intertextuality, paratextuality, metatextuality, hypertextuality, and architextuality – , the vol-

ume discusses the practices of metatextuality as diverse as commentaries, hypomnemata, pesharim,

targumim, Talmud, allegoresis, glosses, scholia, catenae, questions-and-responses (erotapocriseis), pro-

phetic extracts, hypotheses, homilies, integumenta and involucra, Keys to Dreams, translations, and

transliterations in the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern cultures. Presented with an introduc-

tion designed to expand and re-contextualize this issue, the eighteen communications discuss common

strategies of metatextuality in Greek and Jewish culture as well as its various manifestations in the

Septuagint and other Jewish texts, in the literature of the Ancient Near East and Egypt, in the Greco-

Roman world, and in the late antique and medieval literature.

L’ÉCOLE DE GAZA: ESPACE LITTÉRAIRE ET IDENTITÉ CULTURELLE DANS L’ANTIQUITÉ TARDIVEActes du Colloque international de Paris, Collège de France, 23-25 mai 2013

AMATO E., CORCELLA A., LAURITZEN D. (eds)

Organisé à Paris au Collège de France du 23 au 25 mai 2013, le colloque international «L’´École de

Gaza: espace littéraire et identité culturelle dans l’Antiquité tardive» pose un jalon supplémentaire

dans le développement d’un sujet en plein essor. Les Actes qui en résultent donnent un état des lieux

de la recherche la plus récente, consacrée spécifiquement aux problématiques textuelles, sur les auteurs

de langue grecque, grammariens, rhéteurs et sophistes ayant écrit à Gaza dans le dernier quart du Ve

et les quarante premières années du VIe siècle. Les contributions de 25 spécialistes sont ici organisées

selon un parcours thématique pluridisciplinaire, les œuvres conservées - dont certaines viennent à

peine d’être découvertes ou réattribuées - ressortant au premier chef de la rhétorique tout en intéres-

sant aussi l’histoire, la science, la philosophie ou la poésie.
