| Summary: | The purpose of these notes is to trace the lexical and literary fortunes of celeuma, a word which, as we shall see, defies strict definition. Particular attention will be given to the occurrences of celeuma in Christian Latin literature, though necessary background concerning the Greek ϰέλευσμα and celeuma in classical Latin literature will be provided. This is done at the risk of repeating material already available in the great lexica and in standard secondary works, but it is hoped that the reader's patience may be won by the fact that no unified treatment of ϰέλευσμα / celeuma exists, and by the new material and interpretations offered here. This paper is divided into four sections: 1) the Greek word ϰέλευσμα, 2) the Latin word celeuma, 3) celeuma in Christian Latin, and 4) the literary celeuma. |
