Tractatio Scripturarum. Philological, Exegetical, Rhetorical, and Theological Studies on Augustine's Sermons

The contributions collected in this volume of Instrumenta Patristica et Mediaevalia share a common focus on Saint Augustine's sermons on the New Testament and address a wide range of topics within this extended field of research. Several contributions deal with the transmission of these homilies, while others tackle questions concerning exegesis, rhetoric and theology. The foundation for this compilation was laid during the conference 'Ministerium sermonis. An International Colloquium on Saint Augustine's Sermons on the New Testament and their Reception' (September 15-17, 2011), hosted by the Academia Belgica in Rome (Italy). The present volume may be considered a sequel to the book Ministerium sermonis. Philological, Historical and Theological Studies on Augustine's Sermones ad populum, which was published in 2009 as volume 53 of the series Instrumenta Patristica et Mediaevalia and bundled the contributions to the first Ministerium sermonis colloquium of May 2008 (Leuven - Turnhout).
