| Summary: | This article contributes to the documentation of the circulation and readership of Makarios Magnes’s Monogenes in the twelfth-century Norman Kingdom of Sicily. It discloses the existence of extensive Makarian appropriations in Philagathos of Cerami’s homilies For the Feast of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and On the Man Possessed by a Legion of Demons. Philagathos appropriated several anti-Christian arguments together with their refutation from the late antique treatise. Overall, these findings provide new evidence on the transmission of a seminal repository of anti-Christian polemics across the Middle Ages, probably going back to Porphyry of Tyre’s Contra Christianos. |
