Description
Summary:The paper briefly presents the innovative editorial method by which Erich Lamberz prepared the critical edition of the Greek text of the acts of the 7th Oecumenical Council (Nicaea, 787) and its translation into Latin by Anastasius Bibliothecarius in 873. The edition was published in three volumes between 2008 and 2012, but the work on the text and its complex manuscript tradition began in 1990. The Greek and Latin text have taken on a completely fresh appearance, while they are accompanied by well-organized apparatuses that have been judiciously composed so as not to simply offer a mass of unreadable and textually useless material. Moreover, the editor succeeded through his palaeographical and codicological expertise, as well as his philological and historical approach to reconstruct convincingly the process of reworking that lies behind the manuscript witnesses. He showed that the text underwent a series of specific changes (additions, omissions, adaptations) over a period of more than one hundred years (from the original document of 787 to its final revision around 900). This process of reworking is reflected in this edition which presents the text of ca. 880, along with all other material pertaining to this process as separate entities. Finally, the new edition allows scholars to realize for the first time that this complex “three-dimensional” product is a text that underwent a literarization with the effort to produce for various ecclesiastical and political aims a unified work that should take its place in a new history of Byzantine literature.
