Prolegomena to a new edition of Didymus (?), De Trinitate
The last complete critical edition of the De Trinitate once attributed to Didymus the Blind (CPG-2570) was the editio princeps published in 1769 by Mingarelli. The present article provides a progress report on a new edition currently in preparation. It begins with an assessment of the existing editions, not only Mingarelli’s but also the two partial editions published in 1975, highlighting several errors in the latter. It then proceeds to a discu…
The Intellectual World of Late Antique Christianity
The Intellectual World of Late-Antique Christianity explores new perspectives on early Christian epistemology in relation to the changing discourses, institutions, and material culture of late antiquity. Early Christian modes of knowing and ordering knowledge involved complex processes of appropriation, reproduction, and reconfiguration of Jewish and classical epistemologies. This helped Christians develop cultures of interpretation and argument …
Henrik Ibsen, Emperor Julian, and the crisis of faith in modernity
Although it is one of his lesser known and performed plays, Henrik Ibsen considered Emperor and Galilean to be his Hovedverk—his ‘main’ or ‘pivotal’ work—in which he finally presented his positive worldview. It remains comparatively little studied in scholarship, though one scholar has recently argued that it is the key to unlocking his entire corpus. The present study builds upon past scholarship uncovering the works Ibsen drew upon in writing t…
Cyril of Alexandria's Renunciation of Religious Violence
Scholarly accounts of the violent events that occurred early in Cyril of Alexandria's episcopal tenure rely most of all upon Socrates's Ecclesiastical History, Damascius's Philosophical History, and John of Nikiu's Chronicle. In contrast, Cyril's own corpus is almost never consulted or engaged by scholars working on these topics, which has resulted in the complete neglect of certain passages that are directly relevant to these well-known events. …
Towards a New Edition of Julian's Contra Galilaeos
Emperor Julian's three-book treatise Contra Galilaeos survives solely in those Christian sources that quoted it in order to respond to its forceful attack on Christianity. The bulk of these survivals comes from Cyril of Alexandria's twenty-book Contra Iulianum . The recent publication of the first modern critical edition of Cyril's work creates the occasion for a fresh study of the remnants of Julian's text that can be recovered from it. This is …
Cyril of Alexandria’s Contra Iulianum
[Extract] So entrenched is the view of Cyril of Alexandria as an ecclesiastical tyrant who ruthlessly and scrupulously wielded his power to crush foes both at home and abroad that it is counterintuitive to learn that he began his episcopal tenure from a position of pronounced weakness, facing persistent opposition both from a faction of the Christian population of Alexandria as well as from imperial authorities. Upon the death of the former bisho…
The Influence of Eusebius’ Chronicle on the Apologetic Treatises of Cyril of Alexandria and Augustine of Hippo
In the early fifth century, both Cyril of Alexandria and Augustine of Hippo used Eusebius of Caesarea's Chronicle in the writing of their respective apologetic treatises – Against Julian for Cyril and The city of God for Augustine. The present study compares the use that these two authors made of their predecessor and argues for two continuities between these acts of reception: the use of synchronisms between biblical and non-biblical history and…
The Eusebian Canon Tables
A central book in late antique religious life was the four-gospel codex—a manuscript containing the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—and one of the most common features of such manuscripts is a marginal cross-referencing system known as the Canon Tables. This reading aid, invented in the early fourth century by Eusebius of Caesarea, represented a milestone achievement both in the history of the book and in the scholarly study of the fourf…

The Origins of Pauline Theology
Pauline theology is a well-established undertaking in modern New Testament studies, and yet it is almost entirely without precedent prior to the nineteenth century. This article explores the enterprise of Pauline theology by considering an important and overlooked exception to its otherwise exclusively modern provenance: Priscillian of Avila's fourth-century Canons on the Letters of the Apostle Paul . The key to Priscillian's dogmatic synthesis o…
The Diatessaron, Canonical or Non-canonical? Rereading the Dura Fragment
Among those texts that vied for a position as authoritative Scripture, but were eventually rejected by ecclesiastical authorities, was the so-called Diatessaron of Tatian. Having been compiled from the four canonical gospels, Tatian's work occupies a liminal position between the categories of ‘canonical’ and ‘apocryphal’, since the majority of its content was common to users of the fourfold gospel, though this content existed in a radically alter…
Ammonius of Alexandria, Eusebius of Caesarea and the Origins of Gospels Scholarship
In the early third and fourth centuries respectively, Ammonius of Alexandria and Eusebius of Caesarea engaged in cutting-edge research on the relationships among the four canonical gospels. Indeed, these two figures stand at the head of the entire tradition of comparative literary analysis of the gospels. This article provides a more precise account of their contributions, as well as the relationship between the two figures. It argues that Ammoni…
Reading the Diatessaron with Ephrem
Through a consideration of the reception history of the so-called "Diatessaron," Tatian's second-century gospel compilation, we can learn much about the nature of this peculiar text. Of paramount importance here is the Syriac Commentary on the Gospel attributed to Ephrem of Nisibis. In this article I argue that the ordering of pericopae in the opening section of Tatian's gospel, which interweaves Matthean and Lukan passages within a broadly Johan…
Diatessaron, a Misnomer? The Evidence from Ephrem's Commentary
Der Kommentar von Ephräm dem Syrer, laut William L. Petersen »der erste Zeuge zu dem Text des Diatessaron«, erweist sich nicht nur für die Bestimmung des Textes des Diatessarons als hilfreich, sondern auch für den Titel des Werks. Dieser Aufsatz legt zunächst dar, dass, obwohl der Historiker Euseb der Komposition des Tatian den Namen »Diatessaron« gab, die Auslegung Ephräms der Kommentar zum Evangelium genannt wurde, was darauf hindeutet, dass di…
On the Diversity and Influence of the Eusebian Alliance
This article offers, for the first time in English, a reconstruction of the career of Theodore of Heraclea, a leading figure in the Eusebian alliance from the early 330s until the mid-350s. It also provides an overview of Theodore's literary remains and suggests that the anti-Marcellan tone of his surviving fragments is in keeping with the other documents that emanated from the Eusebian alliance during this period, especially those from the Counc…
