‎Manuscripts of the 'Evangelium Nicodemi', A Census.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1994 Hardcover. 292 p., 165 x 245 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9780888443700.‎

‎The so-called Evangelium Nicodmi (EN), a fifth-century apocryphal passion narrative, showed remarkable vitality throughout the Middle Ages and by the close of the period established itself as one of the most influential religious texts, its authority approaching - though not often attaining - that of the canonical gospels. The importance of the EN for the religious culture of the Middle Ages has long been recognized, yet its scope and vicissitudes, its gradual evolution and transmission, have occasioned but a few tentative explorations. The reason for this paucity of detailed studies and for the continued absence of a comprehensive edition of the EN lies in the circumstances that make them all the more desirable - the apocryphon's enormous popularity in the Middle Ages and, as a natural corollary, the daunting abundance of extant manuscripts. Manuscripts of the Evangelium Nicodemi offers the first comprehensive listing of all known Latin manuscripts of the apocryphon. Descriptions of individual manuscripts provide information about the coodices (writing material, number of folios, size, date, place of origin, scribes, owners, contents) and about the texts those codices contain (incipits and explicit of the texts that make up the Evangelium). A series of five analytical and interpretative indexes serves as a guide to the composition of the Evangelium and its satellites, to the chronology of the manuscripts, to their contents, and to persons and places connected with them. The information gathered in this volume may be of assistance in studying the sources of vernacular translations of the Evangelium, patterns of its ownership and readership, medieval attitudes towards it, and the dynamics of its textual evolution; in investigating scribal practices of selection and compilation; and in identifying manuscripts of other apocrypha.‎

‎Life of Christ before the Passion The Life of Christ before the Passion The Youth of Christ - 2 VOLUME SET‎

‎, Miller-brepols, 2015 hardcovers with dusjacket 2 vol., approx. 560 p., 95 b/w ill. + 120 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm, 2014 Languages: English met prachtige illustraties. ISBN 9781872501710.‎

‎The paintings that Rubens devoted to the theme of the youth of Christ are among the most impressive and influential examples of art that expressed Roman Catholic spirituality as reasserted at the Council of Trent. The vast majority of these works are his numerous images of the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Adoration of the Magi. The oldest sources for these and other scenes from Christ's youth are of course the accounts of the Gospels, but these were usefully completed by several supplementary descriptions, more especially the Apocrypha, patristic literature, and the pious legends woven around the birth of Christ in the course of the Middle Ages. In his interpretations of the scenes from Christ's youth, Rubens built to a large extent on a pictorial tradition that had developed in the Low Countries and Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in which mediaeval views and patterns originating from Northern Europe had merged with those of the Italian Renaissance. In Rubens's representations of scenes from Christ's youth, and especially in his many interpretations of the themes of the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Adoration of the Magi, the ideas of Counter-Reformation iconography found their most explicit embodiment in the clear Eucharistic connotations that are present in these works Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard‎

‎Summary Après Aggée, Abdias et Malachie, nous donnons ici la première édition critique des commentaires de Jérôme sur Sophonie, Naum et Joël. Ceux de Sophonie et Naum ont été publiés parmi les premiers en 393, comme celui d'Aggée. Le commentaire sur Joël appartient, comme celui de Malachie, à la troizième et dernière vague des commentaires sur les Douze, qui date de 406. Il n'a pas été possible d'inclure ici, comme dans le précédent volume, un représentant de la deuxième vague, car elle ne comporte, en plus du commentaire d'Abdias, que celui de Jonas, déjà édité critiquement dans la collection des Sources chrétiennes. Il est clair que les commentaires de Sophonie et d'Aggée, qui sont contemporains et qui se suivent immédiatement dans la Vulgate, ont dû être associés très tôt, s'ils n'ont pas été transmis ensemble dès le départ. La tradition du commentaire de Naum se rapproche davantage de celles d'Abdias et de Malachie, avec laquelle elle a beaucoup de témoins en commun. Celle de Joël est très différente des autres; elle se ramène, en fin de compte, au classique stemma bifide auquel on aboutit souvent en critique textuelle. On voit ici déjà progressivement s'assembler le puzzle de la transmission séparée ou par petits ensembles des douze commentaires, avant qu'ils ne soient réunis dans des pandectes à partir de l'époque carolingienne. Et on voit aussi se profiler partout à l'arrière-plan la grande ombre d'Origène, dont les vingt-cinq livres de commentaires sur les Douze prophètes sont, hélas, irrémédiablement perdus.

‎Summary The Liber de ordine creaturarum is an anonymous Latin work with an Irish provenance that dates back to the seventh century. It presents the creation as the divine handiwork and is notable for serving as both a commentary on the Hexaemeron (Six-day Work) in Genesis and as one of the earliest works of systematic theology. Although previously attributed to Isidore of Seville, the Liber de ordine creaturarum is far more than a mere compilation of 'authorities.' Instead, it emphasizes the inherent order that exists within the creation itself.

‎Procopius the Christian Sophist. Catenist, Compiler, Epitomist‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 349 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, French, Italian. ISBN 9782503609898.‎

‎Summary The rich literary production of Gaza in the fifth and sixth centuries AD has received quite some attention in recent scholarship. Yet, the figure and work of Procopius the Sophist, as author of catenae, compiler, and epitomist of patristic exegesis, have remained relatively unknown and under-explored. This collection of essays delves deeply into Procopius' exegetical work. At the outset, a strong case is made that one should distinguish between the famous orator of Gaza and "the Christian sophist" Procopius. A first large section of the book deals with the Genesis Epitome that is studied from three different angles: the limited and as a rule critical use of Origen and his tradition; the importance given to Theodore of Mopsuestia's exegesis of Gen 1-3; and the relations between Procopius' Epitome and John Philoponus' De opificio mundi. The section on the Exodus Epitome studies the specificity of Procopius' work in comparison to the Catena on Exodus, the way the material is organised, and the literary genre of the work. The volume further contains contributions on the connections between the Scholia on Kings attributed to Procopius, the type B catena, and the so-called "Catena Lipsiensis"; the relations between Procopius' Catena on Proverbs and other catenae on this book; the sources of the Isaiah Epitome that show a diligent and able compiler at work; and the comparison between the characteristic features of Procopius' Epitomes and those of the Catena III on Obadiah. As a whole, it offers a wide perspective and significantly advances research on, and our knowledge of, Procopius the Christian sophist, a still somewhat mysterious early Byzantine author and scholar.

‎Summary This volume explores the reception of biblical figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a particular focus on Antiquity and incursions in the Middle Ages and modernity. The contributions included here offer a glimpse of the complexity of the mechanics of transmission to which these figures were subjected in extra-biblical texts, either concentrating on one author or corpus in particular, or broadening the scope across time and cultural contexts. The volume intends to shed light on how these biblical figures and their legacies appear as channels of collective memory and identity; how they became tools for authors to achieve specific goals; how they gained new and powerful authority for communities; and how they transcend traditions and cultural boundaries. As a result, the vitality and fluidity of the developments of traditions become clear and prompt caution when using modern categories.

‎Summary In tribute to the scholarly legacy of Edmondo F. Lupieri, in Sacred Texts & Sacred Figures an international group of esteemed biblical scholars offer essays on the ways religious traditions, texts, and even the legacies of notable figures were received, re-interpreted, and used by the authors of gospels, epistles, and apocalypses to address the ever-evolving circumstances of emerging Christianity. In the first and second centuries CE, oral and written traditions about the life of Jesus proliferated and formed the basis for written narratives. The authors of the gospels received and redacted those traditions to make distinctive theological claims about Jesus and to address their specific milieu and the wider movement of Jesus-followers. Among some groups of Jesus-followers the sacred texts of Judaism remained paramount. Authors like that of the Epistle to the Hebrews re-examined their inheritance of Jewish scriptures in order to demonstrate the continuity of their novel claims about Jesus with the sacred texts and traditions of Judaism. Similarly, the authors of first- and second-century apocalypses drew on the heritage of Jewish apocalypticism to write and record new revelations of and about Jesus. In addition to traditions and texts, authors in the first and second centuries re-examined the legacy of significant Jewish figures and followers of Jesus and wrote about them in the context of their own contemporary circumstances. Using innovative strategies and written in an engaging style, the essays assembled here explore the reception and reinterpretation of sacred traditions, texts, and figures in the writings of early Christianity.

‎Summary La principale entreprise exégétique de Jérôme est un commentaire des prophètes, qui est resté sans concurrence en Occident pendant plusieurs siècles. Les premiers commentaires médiévaux eux-mêmes ne sont guère plus que des relectures de cette ?uvre fondatrice. Avant de s'attaquer aux quatre grands prophètes, qui l'occuperont durant les dix dernières années de sa vie, Jérôme a commenté les douze petits prophètes en trois vagues successives, de 393 à 406. Le présent volume réunit un représentant de chacune d'entre elles; il permettra déjà d'observer l'évolution de la technique du commentaire chez Jérôme dans l'entre-temps. Les douze commentaires sont des ouvrages séparés, qui ont chacun leur histoire textuelle propre; même lorsqu'on les trouve réunis en un corpus unique, à partir de l'époque carolingienne, ils conservent chacun leur particularité. Le travail d'ecdotique doit donc être refait pour chacun d'eux, avant de pouvoir retracer le parcours sinueux et complexe de leur transmission, durant lequel ils se sont progressivement agrégés jusqu'à ce que l'ensemble s'en trouve finalement rassemblé.‎

‎Summary This volume collects contributions from the international conference Biblia regum. Bibbia dei re, Bibbia per i re (sec. IV-XIII) held at the University of L'Aquila, 16-17 April 2018. The collection sheds a new light on the relation between the Bible and royal authority in the late antique and medieval West. By focussing both on the use of biblical quotations and on distinct features of biblical manuscripts - such as dedications, comments, translations and illustrations - contributors investigate how the Bible functioned as a behavioural model to which rulers and their subjects should conform, as well as a text that supported royal power. Collectively, the contributions address significant aspects of the layered interconnection between royal power and the Holy Writ, and lead to a fruitful dialogue between different fields of research. On publie ici la plupart des relations prononcées en occasion du Colloque international "Biblia regum - Bible des rois, Bible pour les rois (IV-XIII siècle)", tenu à l'Université de L'Aquila les 16 et 17 avril 2018 près du Département des Sciences Humaines. La conférence avait le but d'étudier les relations entre la Bible et l'autorité royale en Occident de la fin de l'Antiquité au Moyen Âge. On a analysé la Bible en tant que modèle de comportement auquel les souverains doivent se conformer, comme un texte d'appui du pouvoir royal, un livre à dédier, commenter, traduire et illustrer. Tandis que les deux premières contributions offrent une perspective de longue durée, les autres se concentrent sur trois périodes d'importance primordiale: la transition de l'empire tardif aux royaumes barbares, où la médiation des évêques joue un rôle fondamental; le IXe siècle, dans lequel la Bible, en plus d'être un répertoire d'exempla dans les specula principum, inspire des textes vernaculaires qui la traduisent, paraphrasent et en témoignent la réception ; les XIIe et XIIIe siècles, lorsque la Bible est proposée comme paradigme de l'action des souverains chez Jean de Salisbury, mais aussi dans la production littéraire romane. Une vue d'ensemble de la relation des souverains carolingiens avec les Écritures est offerte en conclusion par une revue ample et inédite portant sur l'analyse de codes et catalogues, bibliothèques et textes de typologies différentes.

‎Summary La Glose ordinaire est le grand commentaire biblique médiéval, de la Genèse à l'Apocalypse. L'?uvre présentement retenue est l'Évangile selon saint Luc. Le présent ouvrage concerne cet évangile qui a marqué d'une manière incroyable le vécu de nos traditions occidentales, et ce jusqu'à nos jours. Ce trésor d'interprétations et de commentaires est le manuel de base pour tout l'Occident, du XIIe siècle jusqu'à bien au-delà de la Renaissance. Dès l'apparition de l'imprimerie on a repris ce très vaste ensemble et ce fut l'?uvre d'Adolf Rusch de Strasbourg en 1480-1481, lequel reproduisait scrupuleusement son manuscrit de base. Le texte s'y présente comme les allées d'un parc à la française : le texte biblique même de Luc est au centre, avec des grands caractères, les variantes lexicales et remarques grammaticales figurant entre les lignes, les commentaires marginaux se trouvant tout autour, et on y circule d'allée en allée. Toutes ces caractéristiques fondamentales sont respectées dans la présente édition, le latin dans la page de gauche, le français dans la page de droite qui fait face. La présentation retenue est ainsi une nouveauté qui rend lisible et connaissable, tant en latin courant qu'en français, toute la documentation biblique : le Luc et les commentaires.

‎Summary For many years, the Septuagint of Ruth (LXX-Ruth) has been considered a literal translation. Several authors have emphasized the similarities between the Greek text and the Masoretic Text, while others have also noted the divergences. In the wake of this second stream, this book seeks to answer the crucial question: How can we nuance the definition of ?literalism? for LXX-Ruth, and which innovations and specifics can be detected in this text? A fresh analysis of the Greek rendering of the Hebrew proper names, toponyms, hapax legomena as well as legal aspects makes it possible to develop new perspectives on the translation technique of LXX-Ruth and to highlight several characteristics of this text. This volume, moreover, extends the discussion by including the analysis of the theological accents of LXX-Ruth and an up-to-date presentation of its textual history including the fragments of the book in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Overall, this volume enhances our understanding of the linguistic and literary background of the LXX, as well as its specific features.

‎Summary « Il est impossible d'épuiser jamais le sens des Écritures : c'est une source qui n'a pas de fin. », écrit Jean Chrysostome (v. 350 - 407). Auteur du plus vaste corpus exégétique de l'Antiquité grecque, ce théologien semble intarissable lui aussi. Mais est-il seulement exégète, ou bien pasteur avant tout ? Qu'est-ce que ses ?uvres révèlent des Écritures et de leur utilisation chez celui qui a influencé après lui tant de lecteurs, à Byzance et ailleurs ? Neuf études sont ici réunies pour interroger le corpus chrysostomien et sa terminologie exégétique (Jean-Noël Guinot), sa position sur le rôle de la femme d'après la Genèse et Paul (Monique Alexandre), son utilisation parfois contrastée de la figure de Caïn (Pierre Molinié), sa condamnation de la trompette juive (Guilhem Girard), son regard sur des paraboles et passages de Luc (Laurence Brottier), son utilisation apologétique de l'épisode de Paul à Athènes (Marie-Ève Geiger), son texte biblique, qui s'avère loin d'être « invariablement byzantin » (Peter Montoro), son art du « tissage » scripturaire dans ses homélies (Jérôme Drouet), ou ses utilisations de l'écrit et des Écritures dans ses exégèses suivies (Guillaume Bady).

‎Summary Peter the Chanter was a master at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in the late 12th century. Among his many works is The Abel Distinctions, an alphabetized collection that treats key words by 'distinguishing' their various symbolic meanings in accordance with the traditions of biblical exegesis. The work was innovative in form and deeply conservative in content. Of special use to preachers who would shape a sermon around such sets of distinctions, it also appealed in general to clerics and laity interested in biblical meaning and allegory. The Abel Distinctions may have been the first collection of its kind; it spawned dozens of imitators through the next two centuries and more. Its immense popularity and influence is indicated by its nearly ninety extant manuscripts. The source text of this volume appeared in Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis as Petrus Cantor, Distinctiones Abel (CC CM, 288-288A). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation.‎

‎Summary This volume, the first in the new series Transcultural Medieval Studies, draws together scholars from around the world to offer new insights into the importance and role of the Bible across the varied cultures of medieval Europe. The papers gathered here take a comparative and multidisciplinary approach to the subject, focusing on the biblical background of perceptions of the religious and cultural 'Self ' and 'Other' in the Mediterranean, in Latin Europe, and in the Baltic. In doing so, the contributions identify commonalities and differences of the 'uses of the Bible' in these various worlds, combining and contrasting studies on Bible manuscripts, their exegesis, and their use for historical writing.

‎Summary Andrew of Saint Victor was one of the most prominent biblical scholars of the twelfth century. He was a regular canon of the Parisian abbey of St Victor, which in the twelfth century had developed into a prestigious center of spiritual learning, closely connected to the nascent university in Paris. Because of his frequent use of Jewish exegetical materials, Andrew's commentaries are a rich source for the history both of biblical hermeneutics and of inter-religious dialogue during the Middle Ages. His Isaiah commentary caused outrage among medieval Christian scholars because it eschewed traditional christological interpretations, and instead offered a reading "secundum Hebraeos." Scholars have seen Andrew of St Victor as standing at the cradle of a scholarly interest in the Biblical text, which influenced scholars such as the fourteenth-century Franciscan Nicholas of Lyra, and, in the long run, reformers such as John Wycliff, Martin Luther, and John Calvin.‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, xx + 370 pages, Size:150 x 250 mm, Illustrations:19 col., 7 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Languages: French, English. ISBN 9782503593852.‎

‎Summary L'édition du Nouveau Testament en 1516 est l'oeuvre la plus importante d'Érasme. Il offre la première édition imprimée du texte grec et une version latine qui renouvelle le texte de la Vulgate, attribué jusqu'alors à saint Jérôme. Érasme innove en confrontant le texte latin et le texte grec sur deux colonnes en parallèle, afin de donner priorité au texte saint. Les commentaires sont rejetés en fin de volume dans une très riche annotation qui commente les choix de sa nouvelle traduction et éclaire les passages controversés. L'humaniste enrichit sa traduction et son annotation par l'écriture d'une paraphrase du Nouveau Testament. Pendant vingt ans, Érasme ne cesse d'améliorer sa traduction et les annotations de son volume. Chacune des nouvelles éditions en 1519, 1522, 1527 et 1535 représente un temps fort dans l'histoire religieuse troublée du XVIe siècle. Les textes de ce volume éclairent le cheminement herméneutique d'Érasme et la réception en France des éditions du Nouveau Testament. Le volume est complété par une chronique de l'ensemble des travaux parus sur le travail biblique d'Érasme depuis la commémoration du Novum Instrumentum en 2016.

‎Summary Les catéchèses et manuels de catéchèse des IVe-Ve siècles citent abondamment la Bible, pour illustrer leur propos, pour prouver certains points doctrinaux ou moraux, mais aussi plus fondamentalement pour guider les fidèles ou les catéchètes dans leur utilisation des textes bibliques. Malgré la richesse des données disponibles, la recherche ne s'est pourtant que peu intéressée à l'utilisation de la Bible dans ces textes. Le présent volume pallie ce manque en explorant les homélies catéchétiques de Cyrille de Jérusalem (Sébastien Grignon), d'Ambroise de Milan (Aline Canellis) et de Jean Chrysostome (Guillaume Bady), le Discours catéchétique de Grégoire de Nysse (Matthieu Cassin) et le De catechizandis rudibus d'Augustin d'Hippone (Matthieu Pignot).

‎Donne interpreti della Bibbia nell?Italia della prima età moderna. Comunità ermeneutiche e riscritture‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 383 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: Italian. ISBN 9782503591032.‎

‎Summary La Bibbia ha rappresentato il libro più familiare per le donne nella prima età moderna e proprio in ambito religioso le donne italiane hanno maggiormente fatto sentire la loro voce. Tuttavia non solo le testimonianze sono scarse, ma anche gli studi hanno trascurato questo interessantissimo campo. Il volume studia le modalità con cui le donne in Italia hanno preso parte al vivissimo dibattito rinascimentale sull'interpretazione e la conoscenza delle Sacre Scritture, da cui hanno anche attinto per sviluppare originali interventi. Sulla base delle riscritture bibliche che ci hanno lasciato, sono individuabili vere e proprie comunità ermeneutiche femminili. Venezia, Firenze, il Centro Italia sono le coordinate geografiche dei circoli qui individuati. A Firenze le scrittrici che lavorano con e sulla Bibbia prediligono il rapporto con la comunità politica, suggerendo modelli comportamentali che possono istruire le donne per il loro inserimento nella società civile. A Venezia la Bibbia ispira argomenti a difesa della dignità femminile e della parità dei generi, infatti sull'episodio edenico sono state fondate coraggiose letture che incisero significativamente nella cosiddetta querelle des femmes europea. Nell'Italia centrale l'interesse femminile si focalizza su una dimensione più devozionale e spirituale, sul problema della salvezza per il beneficio di Cristo, sulla versificazione e sul commento dei Salmi. Con questo studio si intende portare in giusta luce il contributo delle donne italiane al dibattito culturale e religioso nell'età delle Riforme e mostrare la modernità e vivacità delle loro posizioni oltre che recuperarne il valore letterario e intellettuale.

‎Summary Après avoir édité les commentaires d'Haymon d'Auxerre sur Isaïe (CCCM 135C) et sur Ézéchiel (CCCM 135E), il était naturel pour Monseigneur Roger Gryson de s'intéresser aux commentaires sur les Douze prophètes attribués au même auteur. On constate tout de suite que la série imprimée dans l'édition princeps de 1529, reproduite par Migne, ne se trouve dans aucun des manuscrits conservés ; aucun d'eux ne contient d'ailleurs une série complète. En plus, la tradition des quatre premiers commentaires est chaotique : il semble qu'à l'origine, ces commentaires ont circulé indépendamment les uns des autres. Ce dossier complexe sera édité séparément dans un volume futur (CCCM 135F). En revanche, les commentaires sur les huit derniers prophètes, de Jonas à Malachie (CCCM 135G), forment un ensemble cohérent et solidaire, dont les pièces se succèdent toujours dans le même ordre et dépendent d'un seul et même archétype. Cependant, un examen approfondi a convaincu l'éditeur que ces commentaires ne pouvaient décidément pas être l'oeuvre d'Haymon. Il na pas fallu chercher loin pour en découvrir le véritable auteur, puisqu'il s'agit de Heiric, élève et plus tard successeur d'Haymon à l'école d'Auxerre. Heiric, moine profès de Saint-Germain d'Auxerre (841 - ca 875), y fut l'élève de Haymon avant de lui succéder à la direction de l'école abbatiale.‎

‎Distinctiones Abel, II‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 704 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Languages: Latin, English. ISBN 9782503590400.‎

‎Summary Peter the Chanter's Distinctiones Abel displays the multiple senses of some eleven hundred biblical terms and arranges the terms in alphabetical order. Preserved in nearly ninety manuscript copies, it stands at the head of a series of similar aids for preachers and students of the Bible. Its immediate context is the practice of "distinguishing" the senses of terms in a biblical text as the backbone of a sermon, a novel practice employed by several masters of the late twelfth century, notably by Peter's colleague in Paris, Peter Comestor. The Distinctiones Abel was compiled in an age of organization and may be compared with such searchable reference works as Gratian's Decretum, the Glosa Ordinaria, the new Latin dictionaries, and Peter Lombard's Sentences. It is among the first scholarly works to use the alphabet as a technique of information retrieval. Only selections of the work have been printed before; this editio princeps will be of interest to intellectual historians and those interested in medieval biblical studies, homiletics, popular imagery, and allegory. The Introduction itself is a major work of scholarship in a new field. It includes a brief account of Peter the Chanter's life and work, a survey of the genre 'distinctiones,' an extensive desciption of the manuscripts, many of them treated in print for the first time, along with a thorough exposition of the sophisticated methodology of textual criticism employed.‎

‎Summary Situé entre l'alliance avec Abraham et la naissance d'Isaac, l'histoire de la destruction de Sodome et de Gomorrhe (Gn 18-19) a marqué l'imaginaire juif et chrétien. Le présent volume étudie la façon dont il a été interprété et réécrit dans les cinq premiers siècles de notre ère. Agnès Bastit-Kalinowska analyse les témoignages bibliques et patristiques des trois premiers siècles sur ce récit. Sergio Zincone étudie ensuite l'exégèse que Jean Chrysostome en a donnée, tandis que Rachel Toone discute l'utilisation polémique qu'il en faite dans le traité Contre les opposants à la vie monastique. Avec Régis Courtray, c'est l'éxégèse occidentale des IVe-Ve siècles qui est analysée. Marie-Pierre Buissière poursuit par une présentation de l'exégèse de l'Ambrosiaster, où il est question du sort des bébés de Sodome. La seconde section examine la grande postérité que ce récit a eue dans la poésie latine des IVe-Ve siècle. Aline Canellis propose une relecture du Carmen de Sodoma, dont elle donne la première traduction française. Michele Cutino étudie la façon dont Claudius Marius Victorinus réécrit le récrit de la destruction de Sodome dans son Alethia. Laurence Gosserez analyse enfin la réécriture qu'en propose l'Harmatigénie de Prudence.

‎Summary The Codex Amiatinus is perhaps the most famous copy of the Bible surviving in Western Europe. A fascinating and elusive manuscript, with a suite of decorated folios, it was made in Anglo-Saxon England around the turn of the eighth century at the twin monastic foundation of Wearmouth and Jarrow as one of three such 'pandects'. Created at the monastic foundation celebrated in the work of the Venerable Bede, this vast and luxe manuscript was sent by the Northumbrian monks as a gift to the Pope in 716 and, after a sojourn of some 900 years at Monte Amiato (Tuscany), it was donated to the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence in the eighteenth century. As a result of an international conference held to commemorate the 1300th anniversary of the departure of the manuscript from Northumberland and coinciding with the production and presentation of a facsimile of the Codex to the Museum at Jarrow, this volume - the first devoted to the Codex Amiatinus - brings together twelve essays that offer a new appraisal of this remarkable book, and of the contexts that surrounded its production. Encompassing its text, its images, its social, political and ecclesiastical contexts and its later medieval legacy, the contributions to this volume highlight several previously unrecognised aspects and details of the manuscript that further our understanding of the Codex as a book, and as inheritor and progenitor of manuscript traditions in its own right.

‎Origins of Christianity in the Calendar Wars of the Second Century BCE‎

‎, Brepols, 2025 Paperback, 325 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 tables b/w., Language: English. *new ISBN 9782503613062.‎

‎Summary In the Gospels Jesus is called a 'Nazarene' or 'Nazoraean'. Does this mean he came from Nazareth? Basing himself on Lidzbarski's analysis of the Hebrew/Aramaic origins of the Greek terms Nazarênos and Nazôraios Dr Osborne proposes that these epithets indicate that Jesus was a nô?rî, a '(Strict) Keeper/Guardian (of the Law)'. This meant he was a follower of the 364-day liturgical calendar known to us from 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and Qumran. An examination of the passages where these terms appear shows that this hypothesis leads to a deeper understanding of the circumstances in which the first Christian communities arose and clarifies greatly the background of Jesus' crucifixion as Y??û ha-Nô?rî. The book then traces the influence of the nô?rîm on the history of Israel from their origin in the 'calendar wars' that tore apart the Jewish nation from 172-163 BCE. These broke out after the lunisolar calendar was introduced into the temple liturgy by Menelaus the high priest, and only came to an end when the 364-day calendar was reintroduced under his successor, Alcimus. In 151 BCE, however, Jonathan Maccabaeus was appointed high priest and reintroduced the lunisolar calendar. The nô?rîm were suppressed and forced to emigrate or go underground. They reappear as leaders of Jewish resistance to Roman occupation after Pompey incorporated Judaea into the empire in 63 BCE. Eventually they became the chief instigators of the revolt against Rome that led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Osborne argues that the nô?rîm thought to have been included in the Twelfth Benediction of the Amidah at Yavneh around 90 CE are these same '(Strict) Keepers/Guardians (of the Law)'.

‎Johann Buxtorf was a Hebrew scholar of prodigious energy and learning who believed that Christian scholars must master not only the Hebrew Bible but also the entire range of Jewish writing. He surveyed a vast corpus of Jewish texts and used them to describe the customs and ceremonies of Ashkenazic Jews. Working as an editor and a censor, he strove ? not always successfully ? to produce editions of the Hebrew Bible and prayerbook that contained the best of Jewish learning but were purified of anti-Christian sentiments. This book uses unpublished sources of many kinds, from Buxtorf?s marginal notes in his Jewish books to letters to him in Hebrew from Jewish print professionals, to tell his story.
