The Chrysostom Texts in Bodley 516

摘要

Bodley 516, a ninth-century Continental manuscript that was in England by the eleventh century, contains excerpts from De reparatione lapsi and Ad Theodorum monachum, two Latin translations of Greek works by John Chrysostom that circulated in the Middle Ages in the Wilmart collection of 38 sermons by and attributed to Chrysostom. Sermons from this collection were also known to Bede, and the complete collection was probably circulating in Northumbria in the early eighth century. The Bodley 516 excerpts reinforce the perception that the Wilmart sermons are in fact the only texts by Chrysostom and identified with him by name that were known in Anglo-Saxon England.
