Abstract

Augustine of Hippo's The City of God is generally considered to be one of the key works of Late Antiquity. Written in response to allegations that Christianity had brought about the decline of Rome, Augustine here explores themes in history, political science, and Christian theology, and argues for the truth of Christianity over competing religions and philosophies. This Companion volume includes specially-commissioned essays by an international team of scholars that provide new insights into The City of God. Offering commentary on each of this massive work's 22 books chapters, they sequentially and systematically explore The City of God as a whole. Collectively, these essays demonstrate the development and coherence of Augustine's argument. The volume will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of ancient and contemporary theology, philosophy, cultural studies, and political theory.

Abstract

Les Homélies sur le Cantique des Cantiques comptent peut-être parmi les pages les plus remarquables de la littérature patristique. Après Origène, elles livrent la fine pointe de la spiritualité chrétienne inspirée par ce chant biblique au plus intime de la relation à Dieu. L'épouse du Cantique représente pour l'exégète, au sein de l'Église, l'âme du chrétien, appelée à un progrès infini, « de commencement en commencement », vers un Dieu infini. Ce faisant, le Cappadocien ne fait pas seulement oeuvre d'exégète, il jette les fondements philosophiques et théologiques de la mystique chrétienne ; il ne donne pas seulement sa légitimité religieuse à un livre « érotique », il exprime et formule le changement décisif que le christianisme opère dans le rapport au temps, au divin et à soi-même. Même si elles s'arrêtent au verset 9 du chapitre 6, les 15 homélies, réécrites dans les années 390 après avoir été prononcées en assemblée, semblent constituer un tout achevé. Les cinq premières (jusqu'à Ct 2, 17), précédées d'un prologue général, marquent une première étape dans la progression spirituelle de l'épouse, figure de l'âme et de l'Église, une étape de purification des passions et de croissance dans le désir de voir l'Époux.

Abstract

Studies on the impact of discoveries of late antique manuscripts on early Christian studies and the contemporary world. This book offers an anthology from the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Patristic Studies, “The Discoveries of Manuscripts from Late Antiquity: Their Impact on Patristic Studies and the Contemporary World”, which took place in San Juan, Argentina, in March 2017. The aim of this event was to analyze and assess 20th- and 21st-century discoveries of manuscripts from Late Antiquity. Indeed, complete libraries of manuscripts, as well as individual documents of great importance for our understanding of historical authors and situations, have come to light after having been buried for millennia. Just some examples are the incredible discoveries of the Nag Hammadi Gnostic library, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Origen of Alexandria’s homilies, and Augustine’s sermons, among others. Rather than being passive documents, these manuscripts pose numerous questions to specialists from a diverse array of fields, demanding new evaluations of a past that was already thought to be understood and judged.

Abstract

"This book investigates the various paraphrastic techniques employed by Nonnus of Panopolis (5th century CE) for his poetic version of the Gospel of John. The authors look at Nonnus' Paraphrase, the only extant poetic Greek paraphrase of the New Testament, in the light of ancient rhetorical theory while also exploring its multi-faceted relationship with poetic tradition and the theological debates of its era. The study shows how interpretation, cardinal both in ancient literary criticism and in theology, is exploited in a poem that is exegetical both from a philological and a Christian point of view and adheres, at the same time, to the literary principles of Hellenistic times and late antiquity"--

Abstract

Im vorliegenden Band werden Ambrosius' Totenreden für die beiden Kaiser Valentinian II. und Theodosius I. in einer neuen, die handschriftliche Überlieferung in ihrer Breite berücksichtigenden Edition vorgelegt. Da in einigen Codices gemeinsam mit diesen beiden 'Kaiserreden' auch die Auslegung von Psalm 61 (der letzte Text der Explanatio psalmorum XII, ed. M. Petschenig, CSEL 64) als De obitu Gratiani überliefert wird und dieser Überlieferungszweig in der Edition der Explanatio psalmorum XII unbeachtet geblieben war, wird auch dieser Text mit ausführlicher Einleitung neu ediert. This edition presents Ambrose’s eulogies for the emperors Valentinian II and Theodosius I, taking into account the full scope of their transmission. In a number of codices, the interpretation of Psalm 61 (the last text in the Explanatio psalmorum XII, ed. M. Petschenig) has been transmitted together with the two "emperor speeches" as De obitu Gratiani. This volume thus also provides a new edition of this text with an extensive introduction.
