Peeters Publishers A Universal Faith? Peoples, Cultures, Religions
Book SynopsisThis volume of essays is dedicated to Frank De Graeve, s.j., Professor Emeritus of Missiology and the Comparative Study of Religions at the K.U. Leuven. Throughout a long teaching career in the United States and Belgium, his two main concerns have been the inculturation of Christianity in the Various continents and particular contexts, and the theological reflection on religious pluralism. The contributions to this collection are therefore centered around these two topics. Valeer Neckebrouck and Catherine Cornille are Frank De Graeve's successors in the fields of Missiology and the Comparative Study of Religions, respectively. Valeer Neckebrouck is the author of "La Tierce Eglise devant le probleme de la culture" among numerous other works, and Catherine Cornille's "The Guru in Indian Catholicism" has already appeared in this series.

Book SynopsisPapers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 1991 (see also Studia Patristica 24, 26, 27 and 28). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Peeters Publishers De Studie Van De Marcusredactie in De Twintigste
Book SynopsisIn deze studie over het Marcusevangelie brengt G. Van Oyen een overzicht van de belangrijkste interpretatiemethodes in de twintigste eeuw. Er zijn vier richtingen die elkaar chronologisch opvolgen, maar niet van elkaar te scheiden zijn: bronnenkritiek, Formgeschichte, redactiekritiek, narratieve analyse. Concreet worden van elke methode enkele auteurs besproken die de ontwikkeling van het onderzoek in deze eeuw bepalen. Vrij algemeen beschouwt men Marcus als het oudste evangelie. Dit verklaart enerzijds de centrale positie van dit evangelie in het onderzoek en anderzijds de specifieke probleemstelling met betrekking tot het ontstaan van het evangelie. De verschillende oplossingen voor dit probleem zijn verbonden met de aard van de methode. Vertegenwoordigers van de bronnenkritiek maken een onderscheid tussen een traditionele "Vorlage" (Urmarcus) en het werk van een latere "Bearbeiter". In de Formgeschichte wordt de aandacht gericht op de vorm van de afzonderlijke perikopen en hun ontwikkeling in de gemeente. De redactiekritiek onderzoekt de theologie van de evangelist. De actuele discussie in de methodenleer wordt vooral bepaald door de opkomst van de narratieve kritiek. Zij wil dat de tekst gelezen wordt als een "verhaal", synchroon en los van de intentie van de auteur. Het historisch overzicht schetst onderlingen verschillen en wijst tevens op de samenhang tussen de methoden. Zo wordt de recente discussie in een breder perspectief geplaatst. Het uitgangspunt van het overzicht is Willian Wrede's boek over Das Messiasgeheimnis in den Evangelien (1901). Het werk was richtinggevend voor het latere Marcusonderzoek. G. Van Oyen volgt de ontwikkeling van de thematiek en schetst verschillende interpretaties van het messiasgeheim.

Book SynopsisLa versione armena delle Regole di San Basilio di Cesarea, tramandata col titolo di Libro delle Domande, risale al V-VI secolo e testimonia della fama goduta dal grande Cappadoce in tutto l'Oriente cristiano e, in particolare, in Armenia. Il testo armeno, finora inedito, si rivela importante per la conoscenza dell'organizzazione monastica dell'Armenia medievale e per le sue implicazioni con la contemporanea letteratura ascetica originale in armeno. Dal punto di vista filologico e della storia complessiva del testo, la traduzione, eseguita sulla base di un manoscritto ignoto, ma certamente anteriore ai piA' antichi codici greci conservati, riveste un particolare interesse perche presenta una redazione formalmente diversa da quella del textus receptus greco. Il 1 volume contiene l'edizione critica del testo armeno, preceduta da una bibliografia scelta e da un'ampia introduzione sulla tradizione manoscritta. In appendice ha una tabella delle varianti dei nomi propri. Il 2 volume contiene la traduzione in italiono del test armeno, con note relative alle varianti rispetto al greco, preceduta da un'introduzione nella quale si considera la versione sul piano storico e soprattutto linguistico, nell'ambito della letteratura di traduzione dal greco. Completano il volume due indici (biblico e onomastico) e una tabella di concordanza tra Regole greche e Domande armene.

Peeters Publishers Die Syrische Apokalypse Des Pseudo-Methodius: T.
Book SynopsisThe homily "On the Succession of the Kings and the End of Times" attributed to bishop Methodius of Patara (died ca. 311) is one of the most influential non-biblical apocalyptic texts both in Eastern and in Western Christianity. Written about 692 in Iraq by a Syriac-speaking Christian, it was soon translated into Greek and Latin, and subsequently into many other languages in East and West. The present edition offers the first critical text based on all extant Syriac textual witnesses, including references to the forthcoming new edition of the oldest Greek and Latin recensions by W.J. Aerts and G.A.A. Kortekaas in the Subsidia of CSCO. The present volume also includes the facsimile edition of the text (difficult of access) in the Oriental manuscripts Mardin Orth. 368 and Mardin Orth. 891. The German translation is provided with a comprehensive apparatus of explanatory notes and preceded by and introductory essay discussing the historical, religious and literary aspects of this important text, which may be considered as one of the earliest Christian responses to the rise of Islam.

Peeters Publishers Mxit'ar Sasnec'i's Theological Discourses: T.
Book SynopsisThis collection, edited and translated here for the first time, represents the magnum opus of an eminent (and somewhat controversial) Armenian scholar and ecclesiastic of the first half of the 14th century. The corpus comprises 17 disquisitions on diverse issues of doctrinal, sacramental, ethical and exegetical nature composed in 1321 and preserved in early exemplars corrected by the author's own hand. They afford a valuable insight into the religious currents and intellectual preoccupations of the monastic academies of Greater Armenia during the first generation of dialogue and debate with Dominican missionaries. Opposed to certain accommodations to Latin thought and practice advocated in the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia, the author's ascetic spirituality reveals rather the influence of Evagrius and Ps. Dionysius. His vita by a near contemporary is appended and certain precisions in its chronology noted in the introduction on the basis of recently published colophonic data.

Peeters Publishers Siegreiche Feldzug des Konigs Amda-Seyon Gegen
Book SynopsisAmda-Seyons "chronicle" is in fact a detailed report of a year's (1332 AD) campaign of the king against a coalition of Muslim petty kingdoms in Ethiopia's southeast. It was most probably written by an eye witness of the events who furthermore disposed of some document material. Because of its pure language and elegant style as well as its masterly compostion as a true Christian hero's drama it must be ranged among the best products of Ge'ez medieval literature. Published for the first time more than hundred years ago it proved even in its deficient edition and rather tentative translation to be a principal source for the history of Ethiopia in the 14th century. Other sources for the same period are extremely rare, the historical tradition deriving from the Muslim counterpart included. The new critical edition made of all available mss. provides the long needed sound textual base for further research. The slightly commented translation, as well as the introduction, sums up the results of scholarly discussion so far; comparison is made to fragments of Muslim chronicles in Arabic and a few, partially unpublished documents in Ethiopic texts. The documentary value of the long list of Muslim contingents and territories in the coalition has been established: a real gazetteer of that region. The second - important from the historical and literary point of view - is that this text stands in a long tradition of Ethiopic historiography, near to hagiography (in the style of Lalibala's the Zagwe king's vita) where the manierated search for authentic and pure Ge'ez expression covers almost the Amharic reality of the time.

Peeters Publishers Het Huwelijk Kerkelijk en Werkelijk
Book SynopsisHet in dit boek behandelde thema is het kerkelijk huwelijksrecht. Dit vakgebied staat vaak onder scherpe kritiek. De reden hiervoor is wellicht te vinden in het feit dat voor een gestrand huwelijk, op enkele uitzonderingen na, slechts de ex tunc-nietigverklaring als uitweg overblijft. De nietigverklaring houdt in dat het huwelijk wordt geacht nooit te hebben bestaan. Die stellingname staat weleens haaks op het levensgevoel van vele mensen die ernstig hebben gepoogd wat van het huwelijk te maken, soms tijdelijk met succes, maar die uiteindelijk toch vast zijn gelopen. Achter het ontkennen van het huwelijk, zijn mislukkingen inbegrepen, kan een diepe belediging schuilgaan. Ook het echec heeft recht op leven. Aan de andere kant verzoent het bestaande systeem het onontbindbaarheidsbeginsel met de zorg voor het gestrande huwelijk. Misschien op een wat kunstmatige manier. Maar vaak ook op een wijze die mensen echt bevrijdt, zowel door hun een nieuwe kans te bieden als door uitdrukkelijk een beroep te doen op hun verantwoordelijkheidszin. De kerkelijke huwelijksprocedure kan bijzonder zinvol zijn wanneer mensen met grote kerkjuridische en menselijke kwaliteiten als rechters fungeren. Zo'n zinvolle procedure houdt uiteraard ook aandacht in voor allerlei aspecten die bij een huwelijk, zijn ontstaan, beleving en ondergang relevant kunnen zijn. Daarom treft de lezer in dit boek een burgerrechtelijke analyse aan naast een historische. Een demografische en sociologische analyse ontbreekt niet. Ook over het pastoraat van, met en voor echtgescheidenen werd een artikel opgenomen. Maar uiteraard vormen specifiek kerkrechterlijke bijdragen de hoofdmoot van dit boek. Daarbij komen heel wat uiteenlopende onderwerpen en benaderingswijzen aan bod.

Peeters Publishers Catalogue of the Armenian Manuscripts in the
Book SynopsisThis collection which comprises 25 full manuscripts as well as one in Armeno-Turkish and two vellum fragments, though originating in the 18th century, is mainly constituted by small bequests and purchases from the last decades of the last, and early years of the current century. The detailed description of each codex afforded in the present volume expands on the Ellis' handlist of 1926, briefly listing the 16 items then in the library's possession. The holdings are representative of Armenian book arts in consisting of ecclesiastical genres designed for scriptural, liturgical and didactic functions. Their chronological range extends from the 13th to the 19th centuries, about half dating directly or indirectly to the 17th as commissions displaying merchant munificence. Equally diverse in provenance, approximately four fifths evince a modicum of illumination, while half exhibit a full programme of miniatures and marginal scenes.

Peeters Publishers Bibliorum Sacrorum Versio Palaeonubiana
Book SynopsisThis volume contains a critical edition of the fragments of the Old Nubian translation of the Old and New Testaments. Old Nubian, the language of the Sudan in the Middle Ages, survives in a corpus of fewer than 100 pages. From this material, the author has extracted all the biblical texts as well as citations and allusions embedded in other Old Nubian works. Since Old Nubian is not well known, the author has provided each biblical verse with a literal Latin translation. In each case, the Greek Vorlage that the Nubian translator is presumed to have followed is also printed, accompanied by an apparatus of variant readings from Greek manuscripts as well as early versions and patristic citations. In the introduction, the author examines the relationships of the Old Nubian version with the Greek recensions and the Coptic translations. An Old Nubian glossary and a Greek-Old Nubian index complete the work.
