Summary In 1904, Edward Kennard Rand published a Latin sermon by an unknown author from a single manuscript of the ninth century that recounts the amazement of the devil at the crucifixion of Jesus and the devil's defeat at the coming of Christ into the underworld, or the Harrowing of Hell. This Sermo de confusione diaboli et inferni added a new dimension to the already complex body of research on the sermons attributed to pseudo-Eusebius of Alexandria and the Gospel of Nicodemus. A century later, new witnesses of the text edited by Rand and an unedited Latin translation of pseudo-Eusebius' Sermo 17 have begun to shed new light on the interconnectedness of all these materials. The present book critically edits the newly identified Latin documents and discusses them in relation to their Greek source(s) and to one another. It retraces the paths from the protean forms of pseudo-Eusebius' Greek sermons 15 and 17 to their Latin translations, to the Sermo de confusione diaboli et inferni, and to the Gospel of Nicodemus. In the process, it highlights the creativity of the copyists and translators of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and demonstrates their profound interest and investment in the story of Christ's Descent into Hell.

Corpus Christianorum. A Gospel of Nicodemus preserved in Poland Euangelium Nicodemi in Polonia asseruatum,

This volume presents two related texts of the Gospel of Nicodemus from the little known Central European tradition: a late medieval Polish translation of the apocryphon from the codex of Laurentius of Lask and its Latin model as preserved in Krakow, Biblioteka Jagiellonska MS 1509. Both Latin and Polish versions are remarkable as they retain several archaic features attested in the earliest witnesses of the apocryphon but lost in the mainstream medieval traditions. The book begins with and introduction presenting the Latin and Polish traditions as well as the characteristics of the manuscripts edited in the volume. The edition itself is in fact a four-column synopsis displaying side by side the transliteration, the translation, and the transcription of the Polish Ewangelia Nikodema and the edition of the Latin Evangelium Nicodemi. For each text a concordance as well as lists of forms and frequencies have been added. Polish-Latin and Latin Polish glossaries of all words and expressions used in the text complete this second Instrumenta volume. Ce volume presente deux textes de l'Evangile de Nicodeme appartenant a la tradition peu connue qui s'etait repandue en Europe centrale : une traduction polonaise medievale de l'ecrit apocryphe conservee dans le codex de Laurence de Lask ainsi que son modele latin tel qu'il est conserve dans le manuscrit 1509 de la Biblioteka Jagiellonska a Cracovie. Les deux versions se distinguent par le fait qu'elles preservent des caracteristiques presentes dans les plus anciens temoins du texte apocryphe, mais qui se sont perdu dans la tradition manuscrite majoritaire du moyen age. L'introduction qui presente les traditions latine et polonaise de l'apocryphe ainsi que les temoins etudies ici est suivi d'une synopse des deux versions sur quatre colonnes (translitteration, traduction en anglais et transcription de l'Ewangelia Nikodema et edition de l'Evangile de Nicodeme latin) qui permet une comparaison minutieuse des deux versions. Pour chaque texte, une concordance et des listes de frequences des termes et formes employes ont ete constituees. Enfin, un glossaire Polonais-Latin et un autre Latin-Polonais des mots et expressions utilises completent ce deuxieme volume des Instrumenta. Le volume s'adresse donc a la fois aux etudiants du polonais et du latin et aux medievistes curieux du sort de l'Evangile de Nicodeme en Europe centrale. Languages: English, Latin, Slavonic.

The so-called Evangelium Nicodmi (EN), a fifth-century apocryphal passion narrative, showed remarkable vitality throughout the Middle Ages and by the close of the period established itself as one of the most influential religious texts, its authority approaching - though not often attaining - that of the canonical gospels. The importance of the EN for the religious culture of the Middle Ages has long been recognized, yet its scope and vicissitudes, its gradual evolution and transmission, have occasioned but a few tentative explorations. The reason for this paucity of detailed studies and for the continued absence of a comprehensive edition of the EN lies in the circumstances that make them all the more desirable - the apocryphon's enormous popularity in the Middle Ages and, as a natural corollary, the daunting abundance of extant manuscripts. Manuscripts of the Evangelium Nicodemi offers the first comprehensive listing of all known Latin manuscripts of the apocryphon. Descriptions of individual manuscripts provide information about the coodices (writing material, number of folios, size, date, place of origin, scribes, owners, contents) and about the texts those codices contain (incipits and explicit of the texts that make up the Evangelium). A series of five analytical and interpretative indexes serves as a guide to the composition of the Evangelium and its satellites, to the chronology of the manuscripts, to their contents, and to persons and places connected with them. The information gathered in this volume may be of assistance in studying the sources of vernacular translations of the Evangelium, patterns of its ownership and readership, medieval attitudes towards it, and the dynamics of its textual evolution; in investigating scribal practices of selection and compilation; and in identifying manuscripts of other apocrypha.
