| Summary: | Sermo 291 is one of Augustine’s fourteen preserved sermons for the natale of John the Baptist. This article analyses its contents and transmission, and provides a new critical edition, which presents several authentic word groups and short phrases that were unknown to previous editors, but could be restored thanks to the testimony of mss. Wolfenbüttel, HAB, Weiss. 12 (4096) and Montecassino, Bibl. Abb. 12. The study of the sermon’s manuscript transmission confirms and further develops the stemmatical conclusions formulated in earlier studies with regard to other Augustinian sermons with the same or a similar transmission as s. 291. Furthermore, the study of the sermon’s indirect transmission shows its influence on two pseudo-Augustinian sermons, on Bartholomaeus of Urbino’s Milleloquium ueritatis, and on a breviary that testifies to the liturgy associated with the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Le Sermo 291 est l’un des quatorze sermons préservés d’Augustin pour le natale de Jean-Baptiste. Cet article offre une analyse du contenu et de la transmission du sermon, et fournit une nouvelle édition critique comprenant plusieurs groupes de mots et phrases courtes qui étaient encore jusqu’ici inconnus. Ces passages ont pu être restaurés grâce au témoignage des mss. Wolfenbüttel, HAB, Weiss. 12 (4096) et Montecassino, Bibl. Abb. 12. L’étude de la transmission du sermon 291 vient confirmer et développer les conclusions stemmatiques formulées dans des études antérieures pour d’autres sermons augustiniens ayant une transmission identique ou similaire. En outre, l’étude de la transmission indirecte du sermon montre son influence sur deux sermons pseudo-augustiniens, sur le Milleloquium ueritatis de Barthélémy d’Urbino et sur un bréviaire témoignant de la liturgie associée à l’église du Saint-Sépulcre de Jérusalem. |
