Opis

This is the first modern, scholarly edition of the poetry of Gregory of Nazianus, one of the great fathers of the early Christian Church. Accompanied by a translation, introduction, and commentary, the poems are important both for the insights they give into Gregory's theology and for their close link to classical literature and philosophy.

Recenzje

It is always a pleasure to greet a new critical edition of patristic writings ... if Sykes' translation is not always perfectly graceful or clear, his work in the commentary as a textual scholar is of monumental value, shedding useful light at every step ... In bringing us these poems, both in the original Greek and in translation, and in providing a commentary produced by a uniquely qualified scholar in St. Gregory's poetic work, this edition is a service to patristic scholarship.
