| Summary: | In this contribution the validity of Jean Garnier’s reconstruction of Caelestius’ confession of faith (or Libellus fidei) is examined. In an overview of its influence, it is pointed out that earlier criticisms of this reconstruction have fallen into oblivion, with significant risks and consequences for current research on the Pelagian controversy. Next, Garnier’s method of reconstrucing the text is shown to be wanting, and the result should be rejected : he combines into one two essentially different texts from two different authors. As a consequence, the larger part of his edition consists not of Caelestius’ but Pelagius’ words. The article closes with a new and improved edition of the remaining fragments of Caelestius’ confession (CPL 768). |
