Receptio patristica investigates the reception of early Christian literature from Antiquity to the present. The series welcomes studies on the afterlife of canonical, ‘heretical’ and anonymous authors whose works were written and/or transmitted in Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Ge'ez, Arabic, Georgian, and Armenian. Equally welcome are studies focusing on ecclesiastical texts which defy the notion of single authorship, such as conciliar acts, catenae, anthologies, commentaries, and chronologies.
Taking into account other traditions, especially Judaism, Islam, and the Greek and Roman classics, and fostering multidisciplinary approaches, Receptio patristica integrates the recent evolution of reception and translation studies with more traditional methodologies of textual criticism, history, and iconography. Its authors and target readership range from literary scholars and historians of Christianity to philosophers, theologians, and book and art historians.
Authors are cordially invited to submit book proposals and/or full manuscripts to the Publisher at Brill, Arjan van Dijk.
