Ps.-Jean Chrysostome, In Iob et in Abraham (CPG 4999, BHG 939w). Introduction, édition du texte grec et traduction française.

Abstract

The article presents the first edition of a pseudo-Chrysostomian homily, preserved in a Greek manuscript written between 869 and 879: Basel, Universitatsbibliothek, B II 15. The homily deals with the religious heroism of the Old Testament Patriarch Job and, incidentally, with the uncompleted sacrifice of Abraham; it seems to have been preached on the eve of Easter. In the introduction we discuss the Basel manuscript, as well as the link between our homily and the other pseudo-Chrysostomian sermon De beato Abraham (CPG 4514). The Greek text is accompanied by our French translation and by a Latin translation from the hand of the humanist John Oecolampadius (aka Johannes Hussgen), made in 1523.
