Critical edition of Procopius' of Gaza Commentaries to Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus from the so-called Catena of the Octateuch

Langfristvorhaben的主题是普罗科皮乌斯的加沙评论创世纪，出埃及记，和利未记从他的“Eclogarum在libros historicos Veteris Testamenti缩影”（迄今通常称为Octateuch catena）。在2012年修改了项目的时间表后，该项目的目标是对《创世纪和出埃及记》的评论进行编辑，出现在系列“Die Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller”（De Gruyter，柏林/波士顿）中，并翻译《创世纪》的评论，出现在同一系列中。由于《希腊教父》中的米涅版本只给出了希腊原文的部分文本，因此每个版本在很大程度上都是一个主要版本。《创世记评注》的版本和翻译版分别于2015年和2016年出版，两者都是《基督的苦难》系列的一部分。在2016-2019年期间，该申请的剩余目标是一份希腊文本的“出埃及记评注”手稿，准备根据上述系列的规则进行评估。该作品，对摩西五经和旧约其他历史书籍的评注部分具有非凡的意义，因为其作者是Palaestinian演说家和神学家普罗科匹厄斯的加沙（约100）。465/475-528/530 AD）提取的教父训诂精华。不管解释学派和教条的意见，收集团结摘录和旧的评注，其中原件往往丢失，给我们一个多声音的音乐会的神学作者的第一个基督教世纪在他们的异教环境，评论基督教的关键问题在第一个世纪：他们必须决定如何处理犹太圣经，如何在异教哲学的框架内思考圣经的宇宙论，如何从心理上理解族长的行为，如何解决《出埃及记》开头的自由意志的哲学问题。对于教会史的研究来说，一个批判性的版本在两个方面是可取的：重建碎片的措辞和确定来源。普罗科匹厄斯不仅使用了以前的工作（“Urkatene”），因为没有匿名连锁的同一本圣经书，但也有一些原始作品，有时引用的文本更真实。他经常在两个片段之间添加缺失的上下文。引用的来源具有至关重要的意义：因此，它们的识别是版本通常工作流程中的主要任务之一。没有已知来源的片段是最令人兴奋的，因为它们可以让人接触到失落的作者和东方教会的作品。从这些方面来说，恢复一部作品的科学性是至关重要的。

Subjects of the Langfristvorhaben are Procopius' of Gaza Commentaries to Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus from his "Eclogarum in libros historicos Veteris Testamenti epitome" (hitherto often called Octateuch catena). After a modification of the schedule of the project in 2012, the project's aims were an editio critica maior of the Commentary to Genesis and Exodus, to appear in the series "Die Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller" (De Gruyter, Berlin/Boston), and a translation of the Commentary to Genesis, which appeared in the same series. Since the edition of Migne in the "Patrologia Graeca" gives only part of the text of the works in its original Greek, each edition is for the most part an editio princeps.Edition and translation of the "Commentary on Genesis" were published in 2015 and 2016, both of them in the series "Die Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller". The remaining aim of this application for the years 2016-2019 is a manuscript of the Greek text of the "Commentary on Exodus", ready for the evaluation according to the rules of the mentioned series.The works, parts of a commentary on the Pentateuch and other historical books of the Old testament are of extraordinary meaning, as its author the Palaestinian orator and theologian Procopius of Gaza (ca. 465/475-528/530 AD) extracts an essence of patristic exegesis. Regardless of hermeneutical schools and dogmatic opinions, the collection unites excerpts and paraphrases of older commentaries, of which the originals are often lost, giving us a many-voiced concert of theological authors of the first Christian centuries in their pagan environment, commenting crucial problems of Christianity in the first centuries: They had to decide how to deal with the Jewish bible, how to think about biblical cosmology in the frame of pagan philosophy, how to understand psychologically the actions of the patriarchs, how to solve the philosophical problem of free will in the beginning of the book of Exodus. Some of the works have not come down to us in the original language, but only in these fragments.For Church history research, a critical edition is desirable in two regards: to reconstruct the wording of the fragments and to identify the sources. Procopius not only uses a previous work ("Urkatene"), as does the anonymous catena of the same bible book, but also some of the original works, sometimes citing the text more truthfully. He often adds the missing context between two fragments.The cited sources are of crucial meaning: Therefore, their identification is one of the major tasks within the usual workflow of the edition. Fragments without known sources are the most exciting ones, because they give access to lost authors and works of the Eastern church. From these aspects it is of main importance to restore a work to the scientific.
