Grégoire le Grand: Homélies sur l’Évangile. Livre II. Edited by †Raymond Étaix, Georges Blanc, SJ, and Bruno Judic

| Summary: | This stout book completes the Sources chrétiennes edition of Gregory’s homilies on the Gospels. I reviewed the first volume favourably in JTS, ns 57 (2006), pp. 756–8, but its readers should note that, as Judic now explains in his ‘Avant-Propos’, an article by J.-P. Bouhot has since reassessed the early stages of the tradition, with important implications for the dating of some of the sermons (details on pp. 13–16). I should be surprised, however, if the last word has been spoken on this matter. The crucial passages of the homilies (the prefatory letter to Secundinus and the opening of 21.1) are oddly and obscurely phrased; and it may be that they should not be taken literally but regarded as a literary device to add spice to the book. |
