Corpus Ignatianum: A Complete Collection of the Ignatian Epistles, Genuine, Interpolated, and Spurious
This volume presents a comparison of the text of the Syriac and of that of both the Greek recensions of the epistles to Polycarp, the Ephesians, and the Romans by St. Ignatius. Cureton also provides a similar comparison of the text of the longer and shorter recensions of the Epistles to the Magnesians, Trallians, Philadelphians, and Smyræans. To these, Cureton has subjoined the rest of the Ignatian epistles in Greek; and to all of them he has supplied their corresponding ancient Latin versions. He has likewise appended to the rest the Three Letters attributed to St. Ignatius, of which Latin copies only are known to exist. This furnishes a complete collection of all the epistles which have ever been assigned to the venerable Bishop of Antioch.
Cureton provides English translations of all the Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic in the volume, and adds helpful notes, critical and explanatory, on the three Syriac epistles, with some notes on the other epistles and on the Syriac extracts.
