| Summary: | The Melitian schism in fourth-century Egypt has never attracted the same level of attention as the Donatist schism in contemporary North Africa. Yet the conflict that began through Melitius of Lycopolis’s dispute with Peter of Alexandria in 306 exerted a powerful influence on Egyptian Christianity and on the career of Peter’s greatest successor Athanasius. Hans Hauben has established himself over the last 30 years as arguably the leading modern scholar of the Melitian schism, and this contribution to the ever-popular Variorum Collected Studies Series brings together Hauben’s collected articles in a single accessible volume. |
