These essays commemorating the 1600th anniversary of St. Basil's death have been written by a team of international scholars whose expertise ranges from church history, theology, liturgy, iconography to paleography, philosophy and the humanities. The studies open with a new updated chronology of Basil's life and works followed by an analysis of his writings within the context of his activity as an ascetic and churchman. Since no critical edition is as yet available of his complete works, 4 studies are devoted to the manuscript tradition of his writings in Greek and of all the translations made before 1400 into Latin, Armenian, Coptic, Georgian, Slavic and Syriac. Basil's work Contra Eunomium, is here masterfully analyzed and presented to modern readers for the first time.; 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall.
