Oriental sources to Canon Law: edition and translation of pseudapostolic Church Orders in Arabic transmission

在核准的项目期间，工作的主要目标是大量“使徒宪法”的阿拉伯语翻译，即所谓的阿拉伯Didascalia。所需要的时间大大超过了最初申请中估计的时间，因为除了迄今已知的两个版本之外，还有第三个版本，到目前为止，没有进一步的了解，必须单独编辑和翻译。大约950页的两个版本的编辑和翻译工作将在核准的项目期间结束时实际完成。此外，还撰写了约170页的介绍卷，其手稿在附件中。已经开始的阿拉伯语Didascalia第三版，即所谓的Vulgata，比预期的要辛苦得多，因为已知的手稿数量很多（我们手头有30份手稿的副本）。这些手稿包含了大量大多不重要的变体。整理工作仍在进行中。在申请延期期内，完成外文版本的zje版本和翻译。此外，在最初的申请中提到的伪使徒著作，即Syodos Alexandrina和coptic Octateuchus，将被编辑和翻译。除此之外，还打算对这些非常不同的文本见证及其相互关系以及与其他东方和拉丁版本的关系进行彻底调查。

In the approved project period the work targeted primarily the Arabic translations of the voluminous "Apostolic Constitutions", i.e. the so-called Arabic Didascalia. The time needed for this exceeded largely the one estimated in the original application, given the fact that besides the two versions hitherto known there is a third one beyond which until now, nothing further was known and which had to be edited and translated separately. The edition and translation of two versions with about 950 printed pages will be practically completed at the end of the approved project period. In addition an approximately 170-page introduction volume was written whose manuscript is in the attachment. The already started edition of the third version of the Arabic Didascalia, the so-called Vulgata, turned out to be more laborious than expected because a large number of manuscripts is known (copies of 30 manuscripts are at our disposal.) Those manuscripts contain an abundance of mostly not significant variants. The collation of this still in progress. In the extension period applicated for, zje edition and translation of the Vulgata-version shall be completed. In addition, the pseudapostolic writings mentioned in the initial application, i.e. the Syodos Alexandrina and the coptic Octateuchus, shall be edited and translated. Besides this, a thorough investigation of these very different textual witnesses and their relation to each other and to the other oriental and latin versions is intended.
