Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum – serie

Der vorliegende Band enthält zwei lateinische Regeln für Frauenklöster: die Regula Donati, die auf der Basis älterer Klosterregeln (nämlich des Benedikt von Nursia, Caesarius von Arles und Columban), eine komplexe neue Regel formuliert, sowie den als "Fragment einer Nonnenregel" (CPPM II 3637) bekannten Text, der zwei voneinander unabhängige, irrtümlich unter Columbans Namen zusammengestellte Passagen umfasst. Die Texte werden in kritischer Edition und mit ausführlicher Einleitung präsentiert.

This volume of the CSEL presents the first critical edition of Prosper of Aquitaine’s Liber epigrammatum, edited by A. Horsting. From his position at the side of Pope Leo, Prosper composed a 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. His synthesis became an essential part of the school curriculum from the days of Charlemagne to those of Louis XIV, serving as the first and most universal interpretative scheme for Augustine’s theology for generations of students. The poems, though little known and studied today, were widely read throughout the Middle Ages, in the debates of the Reformation over the nature of predestination and grace, and again in the controversies over the teachings of Port Royal.This popular text is preserved in more than 180 manuscripts. In order to establish the text, those manuscripts fragments copied before the twelfth century have been used, a group amounting to around forty textual witnesses. This volume fills a major desideratum in the field of Christian Latin poetry and will be of interest to philologists, theologians, and historians of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

The Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (CSEL) is an academic series that publishes critical editions of Latin works by late-antique Christian authors from the time of the late 2nd century until the beginning of the 7th century. The editions are prepared in cooperation with internationally renowned experts according to modern editorial techniques and are meant to serve as textual basis for scholarly disciplines dealing with Late Antiquity. The volumes are published by the scientific institution "CSEL", which was founded in 1864 by the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and which is part of the University of Salzburg since 2012. In addition, monographs on topics related to the Latin patristic period and conference proceedings are published at irregular intervals (Extra Seriem).

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.

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.

More than 500 bishops were invited to attend a trial in Carthage in 411 that terminated the 100-year-old Donatist schism. The extensive records of the trial, which are largely preserved, provide valuable insight into church history. They are presented here in a critical edition, together with two texts by Augustine that summarize the events of the trial.

24 February 2024 marked the 160th anniversary of the establishment of the Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum by the Vienna Academy of Sciences in 1864. The CSEL was founded in order to provide the Thesaurus linguae Latinae with scholarly sound and critically corrected editions of Latin Christian authors. Since then, more than 100 volumes (as well as numerous volumes Extra Seriem) have been published, since the 150th year (2014) by De Gruyter.

In 2012, Lukas Dorfbauer identified a manuscript in Cologne Cathedral Library as a copy of the Commentary on the Gospels by Fortunatianus, bishop of Aquileia in the middle of the fourth century. This discovery enabled him to identify further witnesses to the commentary and works dependent on it. Dorfbauer's critical edition, to be published in the CSEL series in 2017, makes this work available to scholarship for the first time in over a millennium. The discovery of a new work from late antiquity is always a landmark in the history of research. This extensive commentary shines new light on fourth-century biblical interpretation and the exegetical practices and literary work of an African bishop ministering in north Italy in this period. What is more, it appears to be dependent on works by Origen and Victorinus of Poetovio which are no longer preserved. In order to make this important work available to a wider audience, Dr Houghton has prepared an English translation and introduction in conjunction with the COMPAUL project on the earliest commentaries on the New Testament as sources for the biblical text.

Peu avant d’accéder à l’épiscopat d’Hippone, en l’année 395/96, Augustin entreprend un projet ambitieux de commentaire sur les épîtres de saint Paul. Après un commentaire succinct sur Galates, et un livre de «　Questions　» sur Romains, il entame un commentaire à grande échelle sur Romains, qui devait rivaliser, voire surpasser, tout autre commentaire scripturaire jusqu’alors produit par l’Eglise latine. Cependant, comme il l’admet lui-même, il se décourage devant l’ampleur de la tâche, et abandonne son travail n’ayant commenté que le premier paragraphe de Romains. Néanmoins, il décide que ce qu’il a écrit mérite d’être conservé, et donne à son texte le nom d’Epistulae ad Romanos inchoata expositio («　Commencement de commentaire sur l’épître aux Romains　»). 　 Malgré sa brièveté, cette Inchoata expositio révèle toute la sagesse et l’imagination d’Augustin lecteur des Écritures, et comporte dans sa partie finale un riche exposé sur la nature du blasphème contre l’Esprit Saint, qui serait, selon l’Évangile, le péché impardonnable. 　 Ce livre fournit une nouvelle édition critique de l’Inchoata expositio, accompagnée d’une traduction française et d’un commentaire détaillé sur les aspects littéraires, historiques et théologiques de ce texte-clé pour le développement de la pensée exégétique d’Augustin.

This volume includes the first critical edition of two of Augustine’s most important writings on the theology of grace, De gratia et libero arbitrio and De praedestinatione sanctorum libri duo. It also contains De dono perseverantiae, presented and edited as a second book in accordance with the extant manuscript. A detailed preface describes the historical tradition and explains the most important textual decisions.

Augustine’s commentaries on Psalm 61-70 are mostly based on sermons. In this edition, a special emphasis was laid on the adequate presentation of Augustine’s expressive and nuanced oral style. Each Enarratio is accompanied by an introduction, in which the known facts on time, date and liturgical circumstances are presented, as well as a precisely reconstructed version of the text of Augustine’s Psalter(s).

This edition presents Ambrose’s eulogies for the emperors Valentinian II and Theodosius I, taking into account the full scope of their transmission. In a number of codices, the interpretation of Psalm 61 (the last text in the Explanatio psalmorum XII, ed. M. Petschenig) has been transmitted together with the two "emperor speeches" as De obitu Gratiani. This volume thus also provides a new edition of this text with an extensive introduction.

Der dritte Band der media quinquagena von Augustins Enarrationes in psalmos umfasst die Auslegungen zu Psalm 71–80. Manche beruhen auf mitstenographierten Predigten, andere hat Augustinus zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt in schriftlicher Form ergänzt. Die Einleitung informiert über die handschriftliche Überlieferung und Augustins Umgang mit dem Psaltertext. Jeder Enarratio sind Informationen zu Datierung, Lokalisierung und Schriftlesungen sowie der rekonstruierte Wortlaut des ausgelegten Psalms beigegeben.

Though the Heptateuchos is possibly the most organic attempt at poetic rewriting of the Old Testament, attributed to “Cyprian the Gaul” by R. Peiper, the latest editor of the text in CSEL 23 (1891), we do not have a comprehensive analysis of this poem yet that can provide a clear grasp of the poem’s compositional logic, show which of its biblical model’s content was used, and expound the context and purpose of its versification. It is apparent that in many respects the Heptateuchos is still profoundly unknown. For this reason the UR 4377 of Catholic Theology and Religious Sciences of the University of Strasbourg, notably its ERCAM (“Équipe de recherches sur le christianisme antique et médiéval”), with its statutory members and its associate members, is engaged in the publication of a new critical edition of each of the seven books of the anonymous poem of uncertain date, the Heptateuchos, also providing an exhaustive commentary. The essays collected in this volume represent a preliminary work for the upcoming edition and commentary planned by the members of UR 4377 in Strasbourg. Above all, they show how the anonymous author was interested in safeguarding the criterion of the narratio probabilis in the poem, through probable references to Judeo-Hellenistic literature and by refining the exegetical reading of the text with references to classical and Christian poetry.
