Basile MARKESINIS. Les débuts du monoénergisme. Rectifications concernant ce qui s’est passé entre Cyrus d’Alexandrie, Serge de Constantinople et S. Sophrone de Jérusalem.
The article shows that St Sophronius met Cyrus of Antioch after the Union (3 June 633) between the Chalcedonians and the Theodosians had been signed. The letter of Cyrus which Sophronius brought to Sergius of Constantinople after the failure of his meeting with Cyrus cannot be identified as the Ep. ad Sergium CP (CPG 7611) as Grumel and Winkelmann considered: it was another letter, the existence of which had already been postulated by Hefele, a short extract of which is preserved in the Acts of the Lateran Council of 649. Neither can the letter forbidding all discussion of one or two operations in the two natures of Christ, which Sergius sent to Cyrus after his meeting with Sophronius, be identified as the Ep. ad Cyrum Alex. (CPG 7605).
Jacques Dalarun. Thome Celanensis Vita beati patris nostri Francisci (Vita brevior). Présentation et édition critique.
The National Library of France has just acquired a manuscript which has been registered as NAL 3245. Copied in the 1230’s, probably in a friary of the OFM near Assisi for one of the brothers, this very small volume is one of the earliest manuscripts of Franciscan origin. Together with many other texts it contains a Vita beati patris nostri Francisci compiled by Thomas of Celano on the instructions of the Minister General Brother Elias (1232-1239). It is an abridged and updated version of the Vita prima by the same author and this Vita brevior must be the second Vita ever written about il Poverello. Until now only some excerpts edited in 2007 under the title Légende ombrienne were known. This is the first critical edition of the Vita brevior. It has been almost a century since such a discovery in the field of Franciscan studies has been made.
Diarmuid Ó RIAIN. The Magnum Legendarium Austriacum: A New Investigation of One of Medieval Europe’s Richest Hagiographical Collections.
Cet article présente les premiers résultats d’une recherche de longue haleine sur l’une des plus vastes collections hagiographiques compilées dans l’Europe médiévale, à savoir le Magnum Legendarium Austriacum, transmis par six exemplaires. Première étude substantielle sur ce légendier depuis celle d’Albert Poncelet à la fin du XIXe siècle, l’article vise à actualiser l’état de la recherche et à insuffler un nouvel élan à celle-ci. Proposant un nouveau stemma codicum, l’A. formule de nouvelles perspectives sur la provenance, le mode de compilation, la réception et le contexte social de cette exceptionnelle collection de la fin du XIIe s.
