Abstract

In Augustine and Plotinus: the Human Mind as Image of the Divine Laela Zwollo provides an inside view of two of the most influential thinkers of late antiquity: the Christian Augustine and the Neo-Platonist Plotinus. By exploring the finer points and paradoxes of their doctrines of the image of God (the human soul/intellect), the illustrious church father’s complex interaction with his most important non-biblical source comes into focus. In order to fathom Augustine, we should first grasp the beauty in Plotinus’ philosophy and its attractiveness to Christians. This monograph will contribute to a better understanding of the formative years of Christianity as well as later ancient philosophy. It can serve as a handbook for becoming acquainted with the two thinkers, as well as for delving into the profundity of their thought.

Abstract

"The Apocalypse or Book of Revelation is one of the most frequently discussed books of the biblical canon and arguably one of the most difficult to interpret. This volume contains three texts as examples of late ancient Christian interpretation of its intriguing visions. It also includes a comprehensive introduction to each text by its respective translator. 'Brief explanations of the Apocalypse' by Cassiodorus (c. 580), translated by Francis X. Gumerlock from Latin and published in English for the first time in this volume, served as an introduction to the Book of Revelation for Cassiodorus's students at the Vivarium, a monastery in southern Italy. Cassiodorus divided the Apocalypse into 33 sections, corresponding to the age of Jesus at his Passion, and expressed his belief that John's visions were revelations of the end of the world, including the Second Coming of Christ for judgment, the defeat of the Antichrist, the general resurrection, and the arrival of the heavenly Kingdom. 'Testimonies of Gregory the Great on the Apocalypse,' translated from Latin by Mark DelCogliano and also published here for the first time in English, is a collection of 55 excerpts on the Apocalypse from the writings of St. Gregory the Great (d. 604) compiled by an anonymous author. Drawn mainly from Gregory's 'Moralia,' but also from his 'Book on pastoral care' and homilies, the excerpts, which are arranged from Revelation 1.4 to 22.17, illustrate Gregory's grammatical exegesis of the Apocalypse, his interpretation of various figures in the Apocalypse, and his attempt to reconcile certain passages in the Apocalypse with seemingly contradictory texts from other parts of Scripture. The anonymous 'Greek scholia on the Apocalypse' contains 39 exegetical notes on chapters 1-14 of the Apocalypse, which reveal influences of Origen and Didymus the Blind, among others. The notes provide 'spiritual' interpretations of the various passages and give attention to the interpretation of certain words that appear in the Book of Revelation. This new translation from the Greek by T.C. Schmidt utilizes all the Greek editions. Furthermore, its introductory matter contains updates on the 'Scholia' from the latest scholarship and compares each 'scholion' with interpretations found in various patristic authors, mainly of Alexandrian heritage."-- "This book contains translations of three ancient texts. The first is an explanation of the New Testament Book of Revelation (the Apocalypse) written by the sixth-century (CE) Christian scholar and monastic founder Cassiodorus. The second is a compilation of excerpts from the writings of St. Gregory the Great (died in 604 CE) on the Apocalypse. The original texts of both Cassiodorus and St. Gregory the Great are in Latin. The third text is a compilation of brief excerpts in ancient Greek from ancient writers who can be only tentatively identified on stylistic grounds. The identity of the compiler, too, is unknown. The manuscript of this third text was first discovered in 1911 in northern Greece."--

Abstract

Ambrose of Milan is famous above all for his struggle with, and triumph over, 'Arian' heresy. Yet, almost all of the evidence comes from Ambrose's own writings, and from pious historians of the next generation who represented him as a champion of orthodoxy. This detailed study argues instead that an 'Arian' opposition in Milan was largely conjured up by Ambrose himself, lumping together critics and outsiders in order to secure and justify his own authority. Along with new interpretations of Ambrose's election as bishop, his controversies over the faith, and his clashes with the imperial court, this book provides a new understanding of the nature and significance of heretical communities in Late Antiquity. In place of rival congregations inflexibly committed to doctrinal beliefs, it envisages a world of more fluid allegiances in which heresy - but also consensus - could be a matter of deploying the right rhetorical frame.

Abstract

Jerome (c. 347-419/20), one of the West's four doctors of the church, was recognized early on as one of the church's foremost translators, commentators and advocates of Christian asceticism. Skilled in Hebrew and Greek in addition to his native Latin, he was thoroughly familiar with Jewish traditions and brought them to bear on his understanding of the Old Testament. Beginning in 379, Jerome used his considerable linguistic skills to translate Origen's commentaries and, eventually, to translate and comment on Scripture himself. In 392, while preparing his Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible, Jerome wrote his commentary on Nahum, the first in a series of commentaries on five of the twelve minor prophets. Micah, Zephaniah, Haggai and Habakkuk soon followed. He was interrupted in 393 by the Origenist controversy, after which he became a vocal critic of Origen of Alexandria--a controversy he referred to in his commentaries on Jonah and Obadiah in 396. This Ancient Christian Texts volume, edited and translated by Thomas Scheck in collaboration with classics students from Ave Maria University, includes these seven commentaries. The second volume contains Jerome's commentaries on Zechariah, Malachi, Hosea, Joel and Amos, all of which were written in 406, completing the group of twelve prophets. Throughout these commentaries Jerome displays his familiarity with both Hebrew and Greek texts. His spiritual exegesis relies heavily on the exegetical work of Origen. Jerome looks beyond the nationalistic sentiments of the prophets to see a wider message about God's mercy and justice. His commitment to the truthfulness of the Scriptures as the Word of God is exemplified by his defense of the historicity of Jonah. He finds the fundamental message of the prophets to be the intent to console the saints, so that they may disdain the things of this world and prepare themselves for the day of judgment.

Abstract

Eine Neuedition der augustinischen Frühdialoge ist ein Desiderat für alle Forscher/innen, die sich mit der Fortwirkung der paganen literarischen und philosophischen Tradition in der christlichen Spätantike bzw. ihrer Rezeption durch die frühchristlichen Autoren befassen. Innerhalb des umfangreichen Gesamtwerks Augustins sind die drei ersten erhaltenen Schriften Contra Academicos, De beata vita und De ordine von besonderem Interesse, weil hier deutlich wird, wie stark der spätere Bischof und katholische Dogmatiker in der Zeit unmittelbar nach seiner ‚Bekehrung‘ im Jahre 386 antiken Traditionen verpflichtet war. In der abendländischen Literatur- und Geistesgeschichte sind die Dialoge ein Zeugnis für die Transformation der von Cicero geprägten literarischen Formen und der Fragestellungen der hellenistischen Philosophie sowie die Möglichkeiten einer Integration von christlicher und platonischer Lehre. Die Dialoge sind deshalb ein zentraler Gegenstand von Forschung und Lehre der Klassischen Philologie, Philosophie und (Kirchen-)Geschichte. Die Edition bietet erstmals einen nach streng wissenschaftlichen Kriterien und unter angemessener Berücksichtigung des gesamten Handschriftenbestands edierten Text. The three earliest writings of Augustine of Hippo address questions about the Stoic and Skeptical theory of perception, ethics, pagan and Christian theology, and the ancient education program. For the first time, this edition offers a text edited according to stringent scientific criteria that take into account the entire manuscript legacy. It is thus an important working tool for classical philologists, philosophers, and theologians.

Abstract

Der vorliegende Band enthält die Erstedition des Evangelienkommentars des Bischofs Fortunatian von Aquileia (Mitte 4. Jh.). Dieses Werk, von dem erst 2012 eine annähernd vollständige Handschrift identifiziert werden konnte, ist der älteste aus der lateinischen Antike erhaltene Evangelienkommentar und daher von eminenter Bedeutung für die Patristik. Der kritischen Edition des Texts ist eine ausführliche Einleitung vorangestellt. This volume contains the first edition of the commentaries on the gospels by Bishop Fortunatianus of Aquileia (mid-4th century). This work, which was only discovered in the form of an almost complete manuscript in 2012, is the oldest preserved commentary on the gospels from Latin antiquity, and therefore of extraordinary significance for patristics. The critical edition of the text includes a detailed introduction.

Abstract

"This is the first critical edition of Prosper of Aquitaine's Liber epigrammatum. Prosper composed an influential poetical synthesis of Augustine's vast œuvre, writing poems inspired by maxims he had excerpted from his works. The epigrams were a guide to Augustine that was both authoritative and pleasant to read."--P. [4] of cover.

Abstract

Idipsum est une locution qu’Augustin utilise pour désigner Dieu. Elle signifie littéralement « cela même ». Ce minimalisme sémantique ne laisse pas de la rendre mystérieuse. Faut-il y voir un emprunt à certains textes bibliques qui déjà en font usage ? Dans ce cas, idipsum, tel un nom propre vide de toute signification, se bornerait à indiquer Dieu en tant qu’il échappe à toute définition rationnelle. Ou bien faut-il rattacher idipsum à la tradition platonicienne qui recourt à des locutions grecques similaires pour désigner la réalité intelligible qui est « elle-même en elle-même » ? Idipsum serait alors la trace d’un héritage philosophique conduisant Augustin à une définition métaphysique de Dieu comme Être absolu. Cependant, cette alternative entre origine biblique et tradition platonicienne néglige la diversité des usages philosophiques des locutions formées sur auto puis ipsum : elles expriment d’abord l’identité et le fait d’être soi, puis la réflexivité, au croisement des champs dialectique, pratique et ontologique. Cet ouvrage explore la façon dont ces aspects de l’identité se sont construits, du autos grec à l’idipsum latin, à travers des études portant sur Homère, Platon, Aristote, le stoïcisme, le néoplatonisme grec puis latin, Augustin.

Abstract

Isidore of Seville (560-636) was a crucial figure in the preservation and sharing of classical and early Christian knowledge. His compilations of the works of earlier authorities formed an essential part of monastic education for centuries. Due to the vast amount of information he gathered and its wide dissemination in the Middle Ages, Pope John Paul II even named Isidore the patron saint of the Internet in 1997. This volume represents a cross section of the various approaches scholars have taken toward Isidore's writings. The essays explore his sources, how he selected and arranged them for posterity, and how his legacy was reflected in later generations' work across the early medieval West. Rich in archival detail, this collection provides a wealth of interdisciplinary expertise on one of history's greatest intellectuals.

Abstract

This is the first critical edition of all six books of Augustine’s De musica. Originally meant as part of a series of treatises on the liberal arts, it is especially important because of its presentation of metrics. Book six offers a theological discussion of perception based on the concept of numerus ("rhythm"). Thus, De musica is a fascinating document of Augustine’s intellectual development from secular learning to Christian philosophy.
