Betr. u.a. Sebastian Castellio und den Druck bzw. die Rezeption von Werken der Kirchenväter in Basel.
The Reception of John Chrysostom in Early Modern Europe
The Reception of John Chrysostom in Early Modern Europe explores when, how, why, and by whom one of the most influential Fathers of the Greek Church was translated and read during a particularly significant period in the reception of his works. This was the period between the first Neo-Latin translation of Chrysostom in 1417 and the final volume of Fronton du Duc’s Greek-Latin edition in 1624, years in which readers and translators from Renaissance Italy, the Byzantine Empire, and the Basel, Paris, and Rome of a newly-confessionalised Europe found in Chrysostom everything from a guide to Latin oratory, to a model interpreter of Paul. By drawing on evidence that ranges from Greek manuscripts to conciliar acts, this book contextualises the hundreds of translations and editions of Chrysostom that were produced in Europe between 1417 and 1624, while demonstrating the lasting impact of these works on scholarship about this Church Father today.
Collecting Early Christian Letters from the Apostle Paul to Late Antiquity
The first multi-authored study of New Testament and late antique letter collections, crossing the traditional divide between these disciplines.
Rhetoric and Tradition
In addition to the classical literary corpus, Chrysostom, like many other educated Christians, relied upon the Scriptures as an equally important source.

The Patristic Text in the Confessional Age (16th–17th Centuries)
This volume follows the paradoxical trajectory of patristic studies in early modern Europe, from their full confessionalization in the mid-sixteenth century to the emergence of ‘fringe patristics’ within minority groups in the early eighteenth century. The appeal to the Fathers, which was meant to buttress established orthodoxies, powerfully contributed to their dissolution in the internal strifes of seventeenth-century churches, especially on grace and predestination. An ample English introduction, with rich notes, surveys the flourishing field of patristic reception and advocates for a historical, rather than theological or literary, approach.
