Abstract EN:

First succinctly studied in 1938, the florentine manuscript laurentianus san marco 584 contains a collection of 27 theological texts translated from greek into latin, which, according to the manuscript order, are ascribed to athanasius of alexandria, gregory of nazianzus, basil of caesarea, gregory of nyssa, john chrysostom, cyril of alexandria and proclus of constantinople. These treatises against heretics, homelies and letters were collected from greek manuscripts and thereafter translated into latin approximately the middle of the 6th century a. D. , first in constantinople and then completed in northern italy, in order to facilitate the christological discussions between greek and latin clergy. The translation is very literal and strewn with written greek words. The manuscript originates from north-eastern france (the last third of the 9th century). The critical edition of letters 236, 214, 197 $$ 1, 173 and 52 of basil, provided with an apparatus of authorities, is based on eight manuscripts of 15th and 16th centuries and three editions of the 16th and 17th centuries, all being minutiously described. At the end there are a list of 90 latin incipit and an index of over 300 manuscripts.
