Hardback, 270 p., 125 x 195 mm. ISBN 9782503521572. Das Ideal der Jungfraulichkeit wurde von den Anfangen des Christentums an hochgeschatzt. Ambrosius fasst mit seiner Schrift 'De virginibus' die grosse Tradition des Virginitatsideals zusammen. Das 377 verfasste Werk stutzt sich auf die Vorstellung von der Jungfraulichkeit, so wie Origenes sie formuliert hat. Fur Ambrosius ist das jungfrauliche Leben 'engelgleich' und bezieht sich auf Christus als Urbild der Virginitat. Damit hebt sich das christliche Jungfraulichkeitsideal von vergleichbaren heidnischen Lebensformen wie dem Vestalinnenkult ab. Der hohe Stellenwert dieser Lebensweise beruht aber nicht allein auf dem Charakter der Ubernaturlichkeit, sondern auch auf dem Vergleich der Jungfrau, die als Braut Christi betrachtet wird, mit der Gottesmutter Maria. Die vorliegende Ausgabe enthalt einen neuen kritischen Text und eine modernen Anspruchen angepasste Ubersetzung. Language : German, Latin. 0 g. Seller Inventory # 38532
