Dialogue of Methodius of Olympus «On the Resurrection» (CPG 1812) and the Methodology of Critical Edition of the Slavonic Texts
https://doi.org/10.31802/BCA.2020.7.3.003
Abstract
The dialogue «On the Resurrection» of Methodius of Olympus, written in the late III — early IV century in Ancient Greek, came to us in its original version only partly thanks to fragments preserved in the works of later authors. The full version of this work has been preserved in the Slavonic translation, the text of which remains unpublished until now. The description of the Slavonic manuscript tradition of this dialogue is preceded by a brief description of the history of the editions of the Slavonic texts, as well as the basic principles of critical edition proposed in 1929 by Antoine Meillet and André Vaillant. This article concludes with a description of the project for a new critical edition of the Slavonic and Greek texts of this dialogue.
