Description
Summary:This article aims to provide a new critical edition of Augustine’s sermo 170, accompanied by an introduction in which the sermon’s particular transmission is used to determine the stemmatic position of a medieval collection of Augustinian sermons, titled De lapsu mundi, within the general transmission of the sermones ad populum. A particular point of interest is the development of a recent observation concerning four German and Austrian homiliaria, the most prominent of which is Wolfenbüttel, Herz.-Aug.-Bibl., Cod. Guelf. 237 (Helmst. 204) (1178-1191), which appear to reveal traces of an earlier version of the De lapsu mundi collection. The article uses textual evidence from Augustine’s s. 170 but also s. 15 and s. 151 to ascertain the validity of this hypothesis and correspondingly the critical value of the homiliaria involved. Additionally, a few remarks on specific De lapsu mundi witnesses are made.
