Description

After the death of Hermann Langerbeck, the Patristic Commission of the Academies of Science entrusted Heinrich Doerrie and the "Forschungsstelle Gregor von Nyssa" set up by him at the University of Munster, West Germany, with the edition of the second part of the sermons of Gregory of Nyssa. Because of the size of the corpus, it was decided to split into two the single volume (X) of the Opera Gregorii Nysseni in which it was previously planned to publish these texts. Volume X 1, now published, contains Gregory's sermons on saints and martyrs: De vita Gregorii Thaumaturgi (ed. G. Heil); De sancto Theodoro (ed. J.P. Cavarnos); In sanctum Stephanum I, II, In Basilium fratrem and In XL Martyres Ia, Ib, II (ed. O. Lendle). These sermons were later to exercise a great influence on the Greek church and were quickly taken up into the standard collections of hagiographical texts. They are to be found today in a total of 376 manuscripts, which form (with the exception of a few less accessible manuscripts) the basis for the present critical edition of the texts. The editing of these many copies of the text was greatly facilitated by the editorial method for use with richly attested Patristic texts developed by O. Lendle in the course of preparing his preliminary edition of In Sanctum Stephanum (published 1968). Nach dem Tode von Hermann Langerbeck hatte die Patristische Kommission der Akademien der Wissenschaften Heinrich Doerrie und die von ihm gegrundete "Forschungsstelle Gregor von Nyssa" an der Westfalichen Wilhelms-Universitat in Munster mit der Edition des 2. Teiles der Sermones Gregors von Nyssa beauftragt. Wegen des zu starken Umfangs wurde das fur diese Edition vorgesehene Volumen X der Gregorii Nysseni Opera in zwei Teile aufgeteilt. Vol. X 1, das nun im Druck ist und dessen Textteil hier vorliegt, enthalt die Reden Gregors auf Heilige und Martyrer: De vita Gregorii Thaumaturgi (ed. G. Heil); De sancto Theodoro (ed. J.P. Cavarnos); In sanctum Stephanum I, II, In Basilium fratrem, In XL Martyres Ia, Ib, II (ed. O. Lendle). Diese Reden Gregors haben in der griechischen Kirche eine groBe Nachwirkung erfahren. Sie sind schon fruh in die hagiographischen Textsammlungen aufgenommen worden und finden sich heute noch in insegesamt 376 Handschriften, auf die sich die vorgelegte kritische Edition dieser Texte stutzen kann (mit Ausnahme einiger weniger unzuganglicher Handschriften). Die Recensio dieser vielen Textzeugen wurde im wesentlich gefoerdert durch die Editionsmethode, die O. Lendle im Zusammenhang mit seiner im Jahre 1968 besorgten Vorab-Edition von In sanctum Stephanum I fur reich uberlieferte patrische Texte erarbeitet hat. AEhnlich wie in dem Sonderband von O. Lendle sind auch in diesem Volumen X 1 in einem ersten einleitenden Teil samtliche 376 Handschriften mit ihren kodikologischen Details in Kurzform beschrieben worde. In einem weiteren Teil folgen die Praefationes der Editoren, dem sich der Textteil der Sermones anschlieBt. Den SchluB bilden die Indices (Index locorum biblicorum, Index auctorum ecclesiasticorum et profanorum, Index siglorum).

Description

This volume of the Editio Maior Critica of the works of Gregory of Nyssa, founded by Werner Jaeger, comprises the third and final part of the sermons of this fourth-century Church Father, which deal with a number of religious festivals as well as theological issues. The present work contains the following sermons: De deitate filii et spiritus sancti et in Abraham (ed. E. Rhein), In diem natalem (ed. F. Mann), In sanctam Pentecosten (ed. D. Teske), Adversus eos qui castigationes aegre ferunt (ed. D. Teske), and De iis qui baptismum differunt (ed. H. Polack). The edition is based on no fewer than 159 manuscripts, a clear sign of the major influence Gregory's sermons had on the life of the Church and on the theological debate. These codices are discussed in individual introductions which analyse how they interrelate, the results of which analysis are illustrated in a Stemma. The text is printed next to the apparatus criticus, together with the apparatus fontium. The book concludes with a number of indices which provide an overview of all sources of Gregory of Nyssa's work.
