While the original goal of the 'festal letters', written by the archbishops of Alexandria, was to announce the dates of Lent, Easter, and Pentecost, they developed into treatises with pastoral purposes, to be read out in the parishes and monasteries throughout Egypt and Libya. In this book, Hans van Loon studies the mystagogy of Cyril of Alexandria (ca. 378-444) as it can be descerned in his twenty-nine extant festal letters. After an introduction, which deals with the historical background of the festal letters and gives an overview of their contents, various aspects of Cyril's mystagogy are discussed in detail: the centrality of the mystery of Christ; the role of the sacraments; the archbishop's typological interpretation of the Old Testament, and his attitude towards Judaism; how he encourages the faithful to fast and to pray, and to live virtuous lives; and finally, how he envisages our relationship with God.

"With Cyril of Alexandria (c. 378-444), a new period in the history of Alexandrian exegesis begins. Christian interpretation of the Bible, previously entrusted to teachers, passes now into the hands of a powerful bishop, who clearly overcomes the allegorism of the grand masters (Origen, Pierius, Didymus the Blind) and borrows elements from the exegetical model of Eusebius of Caesarea and the Antiochenes, yet retains an Alexandrian coloring. This evolution is particularly noticeable in the "Commentary on the Twelve Prophets" and the "Commentary on Isaiah". In these works, Cyril proposes a more balanced model of interpretation, one which insists on the importance of Scripture's historical-literal dimension. Through a detailed analysis of Cyril's exegetical method, this study highlights the originality of the Cyrillian approach and underscores Cyril's decisive role in the renewal of the Alexandrian tradition. After reviewing the most characteristic affinities with Origen, the grammarian and allegorist, particular attention is paid to the emergence of a post-Origenian exegesis in Cyril's commentaries: changes in terminology, method, content, and purpose all attest his commitment to reform. Finally, the present work addresses the thorny question of Cyril's sources by distinguishing those which merely parallel Cyril's work from those which really influenced him." --provided by publisher "Avec Cyrille d'Alexandrie (v. 378-444) s'ouvre une nouvelle période dans l'histoire de l'exégèse alexandrine. Le commentaire chrétien de la Bible, confié jusque-là à des didascales, passe aux mains du puissant évêque d'Alexandrie, qui s'affranchit nettement de l'allégorisme des grands maîtres (Origène, Piérius, Didyme l'Aveugle) et emprunte au modèle exégétique d'Eusèbe de Césarée et des Antiochiens, tout en conservant une coloration alexandrine. Cette évolution est particulièrement sensible dans le «Commentaire sur les Douze Prophètes» et le «Commentaire sur Isaïe», où Cyrille propose un modèle d'interprétation plus équilibré, en insistant sur l'importance de la dimension historico-littérale de l'Écriture. À travers une analyse approfondie de sa méthode exégétique, cette monographie s'attache à la fois à faire ressortir l'originalité de la démarche cyrillienne et à souligner son rôle déterminant dans le renouvellement de la tradition alexandrine. Après le rappel des affinités les plus caractéristiques avec Origène, grammairien et allégoriste, cette étude a accordé une attention minutieuse à l'émergence d'une exégèse post-origénienne sous la plume de Cyrille: des changements de termes, de procédés, de contenu et de finalité qui témoignent d'une volonté de réforme. En dernier lieu, a été abordée la question épineuse des sources de Cyrille, en distinguant celles qui présentent uniquement des parallèles avec son œuvre de celles qui ont exercé une véritable influence sur lui." --provided by publisher
