The Pseudo-Oecumenian Catena on Ephesians: Text, Translation, and Commentary

早期教会的连环手稿最初的兴趣被限制在有限范围的文件编目（卡罗和Lietzmann，1902年）。此后，卡尔·斯塔布（Karl Staab）于1926年对这些文本的格式和内容进行了更全面的调查。目前在Clavis Patrum Graecorum（198*，2018年第2版）中对Pauline catenae的标准分类完全取决于Staab的出版物，尽管最近发现了100多份未在现有目录中列出的catenae手稿（霍顿和帕克，2016）。伯明翰大学的文本学术和电子编辑研究所（ITSEE）在这一新的连锁研究浪潮中处于领先地位，促进了对这些手稿的首次综合研究，作为新约文本和基督教注释发展的见证，甚至确定了保存早期基督教作家的其他未知文本的摘录，包括后来被禁止作为异端的作品（Moss，2016）。最近的研究，如Panella的M3 C论文加拉太书Catenae，食品Zacynthius项目和ERC CATENA项目提供了一个无与伦比的环境来研究这些手稿。我的研究将建立在这些新创建的资源，以推进对早期以弗所书的评论传统的新理解-保罗书信的关键之一，有时被描述为保罗神学的总结（林肯，1998）。我的中心研究问题是如何收集不同的神学评论家在以弗所书catenae最早的形式表现出影响了前中世纪教会的解释方法。这个项目的目的是产生有史以来第一个关键版本的评论，并比较其神学方法与当代西方的解释结构。在准备制作这个版本时，我已经开始将现有的文件分为Staab和Clavis Patrum Graecorum两类。这些手稿证明最早的评注形式将完全转录。将对这些译文进行整理，以便制作最后的数字版，并提供每个文件的超链接。这一版本的完成将使人们能够对其中所包含的评注的神学性质进行批判性的参与。通过恢复这些基督教社区的早期声音，其中一些随着时间的推移而丢失，现代教会将能够重新连接被遗忘的解释方法，这可能会改变现代诠释学方法，使其与前几个世纪更加一致。此外，这项工作将作为一个模板，为未来的关键版本的其他类似的评论手稿的圣经。

Initial interest in the catena manuscripts of the early church was constrained to the cataloguing of a limited range of documents (Karo and Lietzmann, 1902). Following this, a fuller enquiry into the format and content of these texts was undertaken by Karl Staab in 1926. The current standard classification of Pauline catenae in the Clavis Patrum Graecorum (198*, 2nd ed. 2018) depends entirely on Staab's publications, despite the recent discovery of more than one hundred catena manuscripts not featured in existing catalogues (Houghton and Parker, 2016). The Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing (ITSEE) at the University of Birmingham has led the way in this new wave of catena research, promoting the first integrated study of these manuscripts as witnesses both to the New Testament text and the development of Christian exegesis, even identifying extracts which preserve otherwise unknown texts from early Christian writers, including works later banned as heretical (Moss, 2016). Recent research such as Panella's M3C thesis on Galatians Catenae, the Codex Zacynthius project and the ERC CATENA project offers an unparalleled environment to study these manuscripts.My research will build on these freshly-created resources to advance a new understanding of the early commentary tradition on Ephesians-one of the key Pauline Epistles, sometimes described as a summary of Paul's theology (Lincoln, 1998). My central research question considers how the collection of diverse theological commentators demonstrated in the earliest form of Ephesians catenae impacted the interpretational methodology of the pre-medieval church.This project aims to produce the first-ever critical edition of this commentary and to compare its theological methodology with that of contemporary Western interpretational constructs. In preparation to produce this edition, I have begun classifying the existing documents into the categories of Staab and the Clavis Patrum Graecorum. Those manuscripts attesting to the earliest commentary form will be fully transcribed. These transcriptions will be collated for the production of the final digital edition with hyperlinks to each file. The completion of the edition will then enable critical engagement with the theological nature of the commentaries it contains.By recovering these early voices of the Christian community, some lost through time, the modern church will be able to reconnect with forgotten interpretational methodologies potentially shifting modern hermeneutical approaches in ways more aligned with previous centuries. Additionally, this work will serve as a template for future critical editions of other, similar commentary manuscripts of the Bible.
