Description
Summary:This article presents a new critical edition of Augustine’s s. 256, along with an introduction focusing on the sermon’s anti-Pelagian content and its transmission. The sermon, preached on May 5th 418, deals with the song Alleluia, while its criticism of Pelagianism is implied mainly in the bishop’s use of certain Bible verses, such as Matth. 6,12-13 and Rom. 7,22-25. The sermon’s critical edition could be improved considerably, thanks to the testimony of three homiliaries from England and one from Frankfurt, which constitute a branch unknown to the Maurists.
