Scrinium: Revue de patrologie, d’hagiographie critique et d’histoire ecclésiastique

The volume is dedicated to the memory of Russian philologist and culturologist Michail F. Murianov and includes essays on various topics related to both the Eastern and Western European Christian tradition. Professor Murianov was intensely interested in the Slavonic Middle Ages and its relation to the Latin Church and Byzantium. Several primary source documents are published here for the first time, including Slavonic translations of texts where the original is no longer extant.

The volume contains the first editions of a number of works of Syrian authors and a publication of Coptic liturgical texts. It also includes a discussion of the letters of Nicetas Stethatos available only in Georgian and other patristic/hagiographical topics.

This volume collects selected papers from the seventh annual conference of the Asia-Pacific Early Christian Studies Society (APECSS), held in Seoul, Korea on 5–7th July 2012, on the theme "Preaching and Ministry in Early Christianity".

The volume collects selected papers from the fifth annual APECSS conference which focused on the topic of letters from Christian Antiquity. The conference papers deal with epistolography from the apostle Paul up to Theodore the Studite (ninth century), considered in different aspects, namely, historiography of studies, literary form, Church history, dogmatic contents, attribution, etc. Other patristic studies include hagiography, liturgics, Christian art, early Egyptian monasticism, Islamic-Christian relations in the Middle Ages, and the Jewish background of Christianity.

The volume deals with the liturgical dimension of mystical, ascetical, and hymnographic texts and traditions within the Christian environment. Special attention is paid to liturgical texts of the Coptic and the Byzantine rite, especially in its Slavonic and Georgian versions. The volume also explores the Jewish background of some Christian liturgical settings and the afterlife of the Jewish priestly and liturgical traditions in the Christian milieu. The collection includes the critical edition of the early Slavonic version of the liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts accompanied by the historical study of this service.
