Jerome’s interpretation of the transfiguration in the light of some recent patristic discoveries (Origen, Fortunatian, Chromace)

Bogataj, Jan Dominik (author)

This paper synthesizes and analyses Jerome’s interpretation of Christ’ Transfiguration event, described in the synoptic gospels (Matt 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36), to which he paid special attention in his works Tractatus in Marci evangelium (CPL 592) and Commentarium in Matthaeum (CPL 590). The second part of the study is dedicated to comparing Jerome’s interpretation with three recently discovered Patristic works: Origen’s Homiliae in Psalmos, Commentarium in evangelia of Fortunatian of Aquileia, and the works of Chromace of Aquileia and Victorinus of Poetovio. Based on this confrontation, it is possible to understand better Jerome’s interpretation and the development of the Patristic exegesis of this critical episode in the life of Jesus in general.

• Title: Hieronimova razlaga Kristusovega spremenjenja v luči nekaterih nedavnih patrističnih odkritij (Origen, Fortunacijan, Kromacij)

Abstract

Prispevek sintetizira in analizira Hieronimovo razlago Kristusovega spremenjenja, opisanega v sinoptičnih evangelijih (Mt 17,1-8; Mr 9,2-8; Lk 9,28-36), ki se mu je Hieronim posebej posvetil v delih Tractatus in Marci evangelium (CPL 592) in Commentarium in Matthaeum (CPL 590). Drugi del študije je namenjen primerjavi Hieronimove interpretacije s tremi nedavno odkritimi patrističnimi deli, to so: Origenove Homiliae in Psalmos, Commentarium in evangelia Fortunacijana Oglejskega in dela Kromacija Oglejskega ter Viktorina Ptujskega. Na podlagi te konfrontacije je mogoče bolje razumeti Hieronimovo razlago, pa tudi nasploh spremljati razvoj patristične eksegeze te pomembne epizode iz Jezusovega življenja.
