The sermons of Kyrillos Loukaris (†1638)—A survey and first exploration of unpublished texts in the National Library of Greece

基里洛斯·洛卡里斯（生于1570年11月13日或1572年- 1638年6月26日）是希腊早期现代性的公众人物之一，他在国际学术界受到了广泛的讨论。1602年至1620年，Loukaris担任亚历山大港的希腊东正教大牧首，1620年至1638年，担任君士坦丁堡的普世牧首。1629年，他签署了一份信仰告白，这被认为是加尔文主义。他还同意将《新约》翻译成希腊文。有一个关于Loukaris正统的讨论。他对改革教会的同情显然与他的反耶稣会主义有关——耶稣会在爱琴海地区非常盛行。尽管Loukaris引起了人们的关注，但大量的经文——大约400篇讲道——没有或几乎没有受到学术研究的影响。这些文本包含在希腊国家图书馆拥有的七本抄本中，其中一些（很可能是五本）是亲笔签名。Loukaris使用多种语言，包括希腊语（古语和方言）、拉丁语和意大利语。考虑到他在威尼斯统治的加拿大出生和长大，并在威尼斯和帕多瓦居住和学习，他的多语言能力并不令人惊讶。令人震惊的是“西方”语言在希腊东正教语境中的用法，以及他可能为自己使用而做的笔记。因此，迫切需要检查和描述这七个抄本；对保存下来的经文（不完全是讲道）做一个清单，这将比目录中的描述更详细；估算明显发生的叶片损失；并通过阅读获得关于讲道内容的初步信息。最有可能的是，七个抄本中的两个包含讲道的副本，也可以在其他五个抄本中找到。因此，该项目将只关注七本抄本中的五本。该项目的成果将是一本专著，其中包含对Loukaris每一篇布道的详细描述和简短摘要，包括写作日期和地点、语言等信息。在撰写大约400篇讲道的简短摘要时，将考虑到抄本中包含的作者及其作品的参考资料；这些资料要么是由Loukaris自己提供的，要么是由耶路撒冷的牧首Chrysanthos Notaras（1655 - 1731）提供的，后者后来研究了特定的讲道，并对五份保存下来的抄本进行了评论。该清单将通过为稍后阶段进行的进一步研究拟订问题来完成。

Kyrillos Loukaris (born 13 November 1570 or 1572 – 26 June 1638) is one of the public figures of Greek early Modernity, who were subject to intensive discourse in international scholarship. Loukaris was the Greek-Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria from 1602 to 1620 and the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, with interruptions, from 1620 to 1638. In 1629 he signed a confession of faith, which was and is considered to be Calvinistic. He also agreed to the translation of the New Testament into vernacular Greek. There is a discussion about Loukaris’ orthodoxy. His sympathy for the reformed churches obviously was related to his antijesuitism—Jesuits were strongly present in the Aegean. In spite of the attention Loukaris attracted, a high number of texts—circa 400 sermons—have not but scarcely been subject to scholarly examination. These texts are contained in seven codices owned by the National Library of Greece, with some of them (most probably five) being autographs. Loukaris used a variety of languages, Greek (both ancient and vernacular), Latin and Italian. Given that he was born and raised in Venetian-ruled Candia and that he had resided and studied in Venice and Padua, his multilinguism does not come as a surprise. What strikes is the usage of “western” languages in Greek Orthodox context and in notes which he probably made for his own use. Therefore, an immediate need rises to inspect and describe these seven codices; to make an inventory of the preserved texts (not exclusively sermons), which will be by far more detailed than e.g. a description in a catalogue; to estimate the loss of leaves which apparently occurred; and to gain preliminary information about the content of the sermons by reading them. It is most probable that two of the seven codices contain copies of sermons which are also to be found in the other five codices. As a consequence, the project will focus on only five of the seven codices. The outcome of the project will be a monograph, containing a detailed description of the codices and short summaries of each of Loukaris’ sermons, including information about date and place of composition, language etc. While composing short summaries of the circa 400 sermons, references to authors and their works contained in the codices will be taken into account; these data are provided either by Loukaris himself of by the Patriarch of Jerusalem Chrysanthos Notaras (1655 – 1731), who later studied the particular sermons and commented on the five preserved codices. The inventory will be completed by the formulation of questions for further research to be conducted at a later stage.
