The study and the production of a critical edition of the works of Pacian, bishop of Barcelona (fourth century), have been the life's work of Angel Anglada Anfruns. He has published many articles in miscellanies and high ranked journals since the 1960s, and also some in less-accessible periodicals. Updated versions of these contributions, most of which are written in Spanish, have now been gathered for the first time in a volume entitled Silva studiorum. They deal with the manuscript transmission and the history of the printed versions of Pacian's opera, the syntactic structure (particularly the clausulae) and particular problematic passages in the bishop's writings. The volume concludes with an index of the passages which have been discussed in detail. The articles offer a general view of the reception of Pacian's works down the ages and list the author's arguments behind specific editorial decisions. It is the perfect companion volume to the edition of Pacian's complete works published in Corpus Christianorum, Series latina 69B (2012). Languages : Spanish, Catalan, Latin.
Corpus Christianorum. Pacianus Barcinonensis Opera quae extant,

Pacianus, fourth-century bishop of Barcelona, wrote the De paenitentibus and the De baptismo and exchanged ideas, in two letters, with Sympronianus, member of the heretical group of Novatians. In these letters he gently exposed his reflections against the discourses of the Novatians and in his Contra Novatianorum tractatus, in his own words by no means sluggishly discussed them. The writings of Pacianus which have survived are preserved in three manuscripts: Vaticanus Reginensis Lat. 331, Gratianopolitanus 262 and Parisinus 2182. The codex Mazarinus should hardly be mentioned. Excerpts are found in Lugdunensis 5804 and a manuscript of Vitry burnt in 1944. In the mid-ninth century Florus the Deacon, director of the scriptorium of Lyon, well skilled in Christian doctrine and writings, had taken care that the writings of Pacianus were preserved in the codex Reginensis. Languages: Latin.
