Abstract

This book offers the critical editio princeps with an English translation of an early Byzantine anthology of Christian precepts in 264 chapters intended for monks as well as lay persons. The Greek text was discovered only recently by the editor, who identified, studied and edited it from a single extant manuscript kept in Bulgaria. The collection Capita ascetica Serdicensia is introduced here as a unique product of the early Byzantine literary tradition offering a glimpse into the cultural and religious attitudes served and into the working method of its compiler.

Abstract

The “Missale gothicum” (c.690-710) is arguably the most important manuscript witness in which the Exultet survives in its original Gallican context. Its Easter Vigil formulary contains, next to the Exultet, a Eucharistic “immolacio” closely related to the Exultet in structure and content, as well as several other prayers for the rites of light, initiation, and the Eucharist. It is shown that, while Exultet and immolacio reflect an identity of Easter Night as privileged night of initiation, the formularies for initiation seem to reflect an earlier practice of baptism during Epiphany. It is argued that Exultet and immolacio go back to a common predecessor (a paschal homily) that partially originated because the introduction of paschal baptism in fourth century Gaul made it necessary to reinterpret Christian initiation in light of the paschal events and to create a coherent theological understanding of the meaning of Easter Night as privileged night of initiation.
