De Sancto Et Immortali Deo, Compendiosa Expositio, Fragmenta Graeca

About this book

Despite his importance both as a historical figure in twelfth-century Constantinople and as a theologian, Hugh Eterianus and his output have remained almost unknown and his works never properly edited. In the wake of Antoine Dondaine's seminal contributions, Pietro Podolak and Anna Zago have now produced a new critical edition of Hugh's main treatise, 'De sancto et immortali Deo', based on a complete and systematic analysis of the manuscript tradition. The edition also includes four epistles transmitted with the treatise, and the editio princeps of the so called 'Compendiosa expositio', an anonymous commentary on Hugh's work written by a contemporary. In an appendix, readers will also find the collection of the few extant fragments of the Greek version of the main treatise.
