Iulius Africanus has rightly been called the "Father of Christian Chronography". His world chronicle is one of the few works of Christian literature pioneering a new genre. Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages mainly articulated their reflection on history in the form of the world chronicle. The work has not been preserved in its entirety; the extant fragments have to be laboriously pieced together from the works of later authors. To date, there has not been a critical edition of this material, and the edition in use today dates back nearly 200 years (J.M. Routh 1814). This new edition in the GCS series closes an old gap in the programme of this series - and at the same time marks a new beginning, because this is the first edition ever in this series to be published with an English translation. The edition establishes a completely new foundation for our knowledge of Early Christian historical thinking, and in addition provides an important component in our understanding of an important epoch, the "Imperial Crisis" of the 3rd century, in which the new world of Late Antiquity began to develop out of the Hellenic-Roman heritage. Iulius Africanus ist mit Recht als der "Vater der christlichen Chronographie" bezeichnet worden. Seine Weltchronik gehört zu den wenigen gattungsbegründenden Werken der christlichen Literatur: Spätantike und Mittelalter haben ihre Reflexion über Geschichte wesentlich im Medium der Weltchronik artikuliert. Das Werk ist in seiner Gänze nicht erhalten; die erhaltenen Fragmente müssen in mühseliger Kleinarbeit aus späteren Autoren herauspräpariert werden. Eine kritische Ausgabe dieses Materials lag bislang nicht vor, die bis heute zu verwendende Ausgabe liegt beinahe 200 Jahre zurück (J. M. Routh 1814).Mit der neuen Ausgabe in der Reihe GCS gelingt es, eine alte Lücke im Programm dieser Reihe zu schließen - zugleich ist damit ein Neuanfang verbunden, denn zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte dieser Reihe erscheint hier eine Edition mit englischer Übersetzung.Durch die Edition ist eine ganz neue Grundlage für die Kenntnis des frühchristlichen Geschichtsdenkens gelegt, außerdem ein wesentlicher Baustein zu besseren Einschätzung einer wichtigen Schwellenzeit, der "Reichskrise" des dritten Jahrhunderts, in der sich aus dem hellenistisch-römsichen Erbe die neue Welt der Spätantike zu formen beginnt.

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