The Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (CSEL) is an academic series that publishes critical editions of Latin works by late-antique Christian authors from the time of the late 2nd century ...until the beginning of the 7th century. The editions are prepared in cooperation with internationally renowned experts according to modern editorial techniques and are meant to serve as textual basis for scholarly disciplines dealing with Late Antiquity. The volumes are published by the scientific institution "CSEL", which was founded in 1864 by the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and which is part of the University of Salzburg since 2012. In addition, monographs on topics related to the Latin patristic period and conference proceedings are published at irregular intervals (Extra Seriem).
This volume includes papers presented at the September 2015 international conference in Salzburg entitled 'Forunatianus Redivivus,' which focused on the commentary on the gospels by Bishop ...Forunatianus of Acuileia, first discovered in 2012. To supplement the first edition (CSEL 103), these papers examine this major 'new' text, so extraordinarily important for patristics, from the perspectives of philology, theology, and historiography.
The article deals with the complex relations between the Jewish and Christian communities in the late antique Aquileia, one of the most important cities of the Roman empire at the time. After ...synthetizing the historical evidence for the existence of the Jewish community and the beginnings of the encounters between the two competing religious groups, our research focuses on the two most important sources for understanding the Christian viewpoint on the Aquileian Jews: a newly discovered (2012) work Commentarii in evangelia, composed by the bishop Fortunatian of Aquileia († ca. 369), the earliest Christian written source in Aquileia, and the opus of Chromace of Aquileia († 407; Sermones and Tractatus in Matthaeum). Especially in the context of the New Testament exegesis we face a strong emphasis on the rival relations between the synagogue and the Church, henceforth the aim of the paper is to offer a genuine interpretation of the relations between Jews and Christians, based on the two fascinating documents, in the light of the literary and historical critique.
