Overview

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.

About Ignatius of Antioch

Ignatius of Antioch (ca. 35 or 50-between 98 and 117) was among the Apostolic Fathers, the third Bishop of Antioch, and a student of John the Apostle. En route to his martyrdom in Rome, Ignatius wrote a series of letters which have been preserved as an example of very early Christian theology. Important topics addressed in these letters include ecclesiology, the sacraments, and the role of bishops. Ignatius’ feast day is observed on 20 December in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
