Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the Latin form of a consecration prayer text preserved in fragmented palimpsests. The author argues that the consecration prayer was part of a handbook or tract by Hippolytus, an anti-pope in the 3rd century. The book details the physical condition of the palimpsests, along with the process of piecing together and translating the text. The book suggests that part of this tract was adapted into the eighth book of the Apostolic Constitutions, further substantiating that the prayer is indeed part of the Hippolytean tract. The depth of analysis and variety of evidence will fascinate those with a particular interest in early Christianity.
