The remaining treatises of Basil - ascetic, dogmatic and exegetic - are given full coverage in the manner and style of the previous volumes. The bulk is taken up by the Ascetica. Twelve recensions of the Great Asketikon are identified, seven in Greek and five more in one of the nine languages of some of which the Greek original is no longer extant. Studied are also the versions into Armenian, Arabic, Coptic, Georgian, Latin, Old Slavonic and Syriac. Reconstituted for the first time ever is the complete Asketikon of Basil or Asketikon B made up of 370 erotapokriseis. The reconstituted Asketikon attests to the existence of authentic pieces eventually discarded or replaced by Basil himself because of changed opinion (on his part) or changed circumstances (provinces of Pontos, instead of Cappadocia, or vice versa). In addition the three Books against Eunomios, the treatise on the Holy Spirit to Amphilochios and the remaining works ascribed to Basil are treated. Languages: English.

The second volume of the Bibliotheca Basiliana Vniversalis covers all the extant mss, translations and editions of Basil of Caesarea's Homiliae morales, and more than 300 homiletic type adaptations. In addition, it provides descriptions of a number of the mss and editions of the letters that were left out volume one, and of all the editions and translations both of the homilies and the letters from ca.1470 to the present. Besides the native tongue of Basil, some twenty other languages are represented. Throughout an attempt has been made at correcting some of the descriptions of the sixteenth- century composite editions which the homilies share with the letters and the ascetica. Also in this volume have been included many mss, editions and translations of the Vita s. Basilii of Ps.-Amphilochius (CPG 3253), the Laudatio of Ps.Ephraem (BHG 246) and the Laudatio of Ioannes XIII Glykys, Patriarch of Constantinople (1315-1319; BHG 262h) even when they were found in mss containing no works of Basil. The method employed in this volume is very similar to that adopted in the first volume. In the first three chapters all the corpora of the Homiliae and the Hexaemeron are described, in Greek and in eight ancient languages into which Basil has been translated, namely Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Latin, Old Slavonic and Syriac. Chapters Four to Ten are home to some 6000 mss written both in Greek (Classical en Demotic) and the eight languages. The mss are housed in some 400 libraries whose locations span from the Atlantic Ocean to the Volga River. Chapters eleven and twelve provide extensive coverage of all the editions from ca.1470 to the present. Languages: English.

The whole concept and dynamic of the five-volume Bibliotheca Basiliana Vniuersalis (1993-2004) can be seen in the form of an interlocking structure. There is no proper start nor finish in such a picture, but a wavelike motion leading from one block/particle to another, a very much quantum entity like anything else. Since nothing better illustrates the quantum reality than a picture of a ladder with jumps from rung to rung, so is the BBV. Hence one could say that a ladder-like project, such as the BBV, has reached with this volume in a spacetime continuum warp the final rung in accordance with a pre-planned design. All a matter of convention and convenience rather than intrinsic necessity. After dealing directly with the manuscripts, editions, translations, my project wraps up with the complete records of the names of those who since the second half of the fifteenth century have published their works and whose records have survived the ravages of time. Cross-listed are here also all the printed editions and translations quoted fully in BBV i-iv. BBV v incorporates further more than just works specifically or exclusively dealing with Basil, ?his life, teaching, Nachleben,?, as it covers also many of the studies dealing with the historical period and geographical setting he lived in and which have a bearing on a better and more accurate understanding of his thought and significance. Unlike any other author, for instance Origen, John Chrysostom or Augustine of Hippo, Basil by himself encompasses the vast areas of spirituality, theology, philosophy, linguistics, kanon law, liturgy, florilegia, catenae, painting, gender issues, and in most instances not just implicitely but explicitely. To be sure, if one were to leave out works dealing with the environment, demography, literary genres, gender issues, imperial administration, geography, numismatics, archaeology, palaeography, diplomatics?much would be missing from the true picture of his achievements or shortcomings, in other words, from a correct understanding of his role in history conceived as the carrying out of one's life in a world open to the widest spectrum of lived possibilities.

Il maestro normanno Rodolfo di Caen (1080ca - post 1136), che vive buona parte della sua vita (a partire dal 1108) in Terrasanta, e autore di un'opera storica dedicata al condottiero crociato Tancredi Marchisio, nipote di Roberto il Guiscardo e cugino del piu celebre Boemondo d'Antiochia, intitolata Tancredus (ma nota finora come Gesta Tancredi). Prendendo l'avvio dalla partenza del contingente italonormanno per la I Crociata (1096), Rodolfo racconta tutti gli eventi della spedizione con un occhio particolare al cavaliere italonormanno, arrivando fino agli anni della reggenza del principato d'Antiochia (1106). Ma forse (il testo sembra mutilo) giungeva fino alla morte di Tancredi (1112). L'opera ha avuto una vicenda particolarmente sfortunata, sia sotto il profilo della tradizione, che sotto quello della considerazione quale fonte storica. L'unico manoscritto (Bruxelles, KBR, 5373, saec. XII), forse almeno parzialmente autografo, e rimasto sconosciuto per tutto il Medioevo, riemergendo e salvandosi dall'incendio che brucio l'abbazia di Gembleux nel sec. XVIII. Trattato maldestramente con reagenti chimici, e arrivato fino a noi in uno stato assai scadente. Il fatto che il testo racconti gli eventi dal 1096 al 1106, anni in cui l'autore non era in Terrasanta, lo ha fatto considerare come un esercizio di mera encomiastica (a causa anche della patina retorico-stilistica altissima che lo caratterizza). Una cronaca sulla I Crociata pertanto 'inutile', a fronte di testimonianze dirette come i famosi Gesta Francorum. In realta ne la pregiudiziale stilistica ne quella encomiastica hanno senso: Rodolfo vive molti anni a strettissimo contatto con Boemondo prima e con Tancredi poi: dunque le sue informazioni sono tutt'altro che di seconda mano. Inoltre, non si tratta di un testo sulla Crociata: e una biografia principesca nella scia della tradizione letteraria normanna, scritto non prima del 1113, e la cui ottica ideologico-politica e quindi tutta rivolta al 'nuovo' problema della vita degli Stati latini di Terrasanta, piuttosto che a quello vecchio della conquista. La nuova edizione critica, e la corposa Introduzione, restituiscono un?opera sostanzialmente nuova, in cui si ricostruisce l'evoluzione politica e culturale del principato normanno d'Antiochia nella prima meta del sec. XII. Languages: English.

During his short lifetime (c. 330 - 1 January 379), Basil of Caesarea's advice was sought by government officials, ecclesiastics, monks, military and ordinary people, the rich and dispossessed, even by those who did not belong to the Christian church. The appeal to him continued after his death. Councils, oecoumenical and regional, theologians, chroniclers, historians, compilers of the numerous biblical catenae and florilegia-makers, artists and painters found in his works continuous inspiration. Volume Four collects for the first time the largest number of testimonials and references to him in Greek, Latin, Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Georgian, Old Slavonic, Syriac and many a modern language. It draws primarily from the many unpublished sources - some 8.000 manuscripts - but also from post-medieval and current critical editions. The volume provides a comprehensive coverage of the various liturgies and prayers attributed to Basil, with an accurate identification of all their various components, making this an indispensable tool for any researcher interested in studying these public and private expressions of Christian faith over the last two millenia. In addition Volume Four gives the most detailed account of all the largest canonical collections in which Basil, from their inception, always occupied a preeminent place. The appeal to the great Capadocian was not confined to verbal expressions alone, but extended into imagery, making him one of the favourites of the manuscript illuminators, engravers, painters of icons and churches and even sculptors. Volume Four provides a comprehensive and reliable coverage of all and each one of these aspects of Basil's "Nachleben", while at the same time it aims at charting new avenues of research.
