Der pseudoaugustinische Sermo 167

The pseudo-augustinian Sermo 167 (PL 39:2069–2070) is a text of two pieces containing a short Easter homily and a list of benedictions of the Sunday. The oldest known but reworked exemplar is part of a larger homily in the manuscript Cambridge, Pembroke College Ms. 25 (s. 11). Though, in the manuscript Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek M.p.th.q.28b (s. 8/9) the main parts of Sermo 167,1 and the list of benedictions as separate pieces were detected (fol. 22r–24v), similarly at the end of another larger homily; it was substantiated that Sermo 167,1 is a derivative cento of the larger Würzburg-homily which has been combined with the originally independent list of benedictions; a anglo-saxon context was proposed; the text of the whole Würzburg-homily and the list in the version of this manuscript has been emended and established; quotations and allusions were identified and indicated; a translation was added. Thus, this sermo of the manuscript Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek M.p.th.q.28b as the predecessor of pseudo-augustinian Sermo 167 gives insights into the process of working and reworking of homilies in the carolingian and pre-carolingian aera
