The twin sisters Agnes Lewis (1843-1926) and Margaret Gibson (1843-1920) were pioneering biblical scholars who became experts in a number of ancient languages. Travelling widely in the Middle East, they made several significant discoveries, including one of the earliest manuscripts of the four gospels in Syriac, the language believed to have been spoken by Jesus himself. Previously published in the Horae Semitica series, this second fascicule contains Gibson's English translation of the Didascalia Apostolorum. Traditionally attributed to the apostles, the text is a treatise on Church law and doctrine, and the volume includes additional material supplied by Gibson from a variety of sources. Covering topics including church organisation, charity and forgiveness, Gibson described the Didascalia as a 'potent instrument' used to gain the 'unquestioning obedience of the Christian people'.

Das Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum ist eine mit Randkommentaren (sogenannten Scholien) versehene Sammlung von vier Abhandlungen (De divinis nominibus; De caelesti hierarchia; De ecclesiastica hierarchia; De mystica theologia) und zehn Briefen (Epistulae) des Dionysius Areopagita, eines christlichen Schriftstellers des sechsten nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts. Nachdem die vier Abhandlungen und die zehn Briefe (in zwei Bänden als Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum I und II, = PTS 33 und 36) bereits herausgegeben wurden, folgen nun die Randkommentare (in den Bänden Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum IV 1, IV 2, V 1 sowie V 2).Dionysius Areopagita zählt zu den bedeutendsten Autoren der Philosophie und Theologie und daher auch zu den meistkommentierten Autoren der Spätantike, des Mittelalters und der Renaissance. Als Folge dieser ausgedehnten Kommentartradition reicht seine Wirkung über die Scholastik und den Deutschen Idealismus bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein. Einen wesentlichen Anteil an dieser Wirkmacht haben die ersten Randkommentare des Johannes von Skythopolis, die als redaktioneller Teil des Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum die Abhandlungen und Briefe des Dionysius Areopagita in den ersten Jahrhunderten ihrer Verbreitung stets begleiteten und durch kommentierende Zusätze weiterer Scholiasten erweitert wurden. Alle diese Randkommentare (Scholien) bestehen aus dem Lemma, d.i. der Verweis auf die Textpartie, und dem Interpretament, d.i. die eigentliche Erklärung. Das einzelne Scholion ist Teil des Kommentares, d.h. der fortlaufenden Erklärung des Textes, die gleichsam aus mehreren aneinander gereihten Scholien besteht und sich auf alle Wissensbereiche erstreckt. Durch die Notierung der Scholie am Rand des Textes kommt es zu einer praktischen Verbindung zwischen Kommentar und Text.Die Übersetzung dieser Scholien ins Lateinische durch Anastasius Bibliothecarius ermöglichte und erleichterte die Auseinandersetzung des lateinischen Westens mit den griechisch verfassten Abhandlungen des Dionysius Areopagita. Band IV 1 enthält Prolog und Randkommentare des Johannes von Skythopolis zum Traktat De divinis nominibus des Dionysius Areopagita mit kommentierenden Zusätzen weiterer Scholiasten.

What did the Romans know about their gods? Why did they perform the rituals of their religion, and what motivated them to change those rituals? To these questions Clifford Ando proposes simple answers: In contrast to ancient Christians, who had faith, Romans had knowledge, and their knowledge was empirical in orientation. In other words, the Romans acquired knowledge of the gods through observation of the world, and their rituals were maintained or modified in light of what they learned. After a preface and opening chapters that lay out this argument about knowledge and place it in context, The Matter of the Gods pursues a variety of themes essential to the study of religion in history.

The most prominent Christian theologian and exegete of the third century, Origen was also an influential teacher. In the famed Thanksgiving Address, one of his students-traditionally thought to be Gregory Thaumaturgus, later bishop of Cappadocia-delivered an emotionally charged account of his tutelage under Origen in Roman Palestine. Although it is one of the few personal narratives by a Christian author to have survived from the period, the Address is more often cited than read closely. But as David Satran demonstrates, this short work has much to teach us today. At its center stands the question of moral formation, anchored by the image of Origen himself, and Satran's careful analysis of the text sheds new light on higher education in the early church as well as the intimate relationship between master and disciple.
