Prolegomena to a critical edition of the letters of Pope Leo the Great: a study of the manuscripts
Get PDFThis dissertation explores the transmission of the letters of Pope Leo the Great (pope,
440-461). In Chapter 1, I set out the contours of Leo’s papacy from external sources
and from the letters, showing the significance of these letters for understanding his
papacy and its context: our vision of the mid-fifth century would be much scantier
without them. After discussing the letters in context and as sources, I conclude this
chapter by examining the varied editions of his letters from Giovanni Bussi in 1470,
through the only full edition, that of the Ballerini brothers in the 1750s, to the partial
editions of Eduard Schwartz and Carlos Silva-Tarouca in the 1930s, a tribute to
Leo’s enduring importance.
Chapter 2 deals in detail with the pre-Carolingian canonical collections of Leo’s
letters, beginning with the earliest in the late 400s and early 500s. Through these
collections, I trace the ongoing significance of Leo for canon law as well as noting
the links between early Italian collections, e.g. Teatina, Sanblasiana, and
Quesnelliana, and postulate that one Gallic collection, Corbeiensis, was the source of
another, Pithouensis. I also question the concept of a ‘renaissance gélasienne’ while
still admitting the importance of this period for canonical activity. Chapter 3 deals
with the letter collections gathered in relation to the Council of Chalcedon (451) –
the old Latin version, Rusticus’ version, and the later Latin text, assessing their
relationships and importance for our knowledge of Leo as well. Chapter 4 is an
exploration of Leo’s letters through the Carolingian and post-Carolingian Middle
Ages. The Carolingian explosion of manuscripts is the most important assessed, and
I deal with Leo’s various collections in the period, especially Pseudo-Isidore, and
demonstrate their relationships and those between them and the earlier collections.
To give the reader a sample of the editorial implications of my scholarship, I include
as an appendix an edition of Ep. 167 with an apparatus detailing the most significant
manuscripts and a translation of my edition as a second appendix. This popular letter
exists in different recensions, so it serves an important key to Leo’s text criticism.
The third appendix is a conspectus of the letters

Pope Leo\u27s soteriology: Sacramental recapitulation
No full textPope Leo\u27s soteriology has been comparatively ignored in modern literature. Furthermore, when his soteriology is studied, scholars tend to address it with the wrong models presupposed. Scholars typically attempt to use Augustinian models of grace in which redemption and salvation are virtual synonyms. Pope Leo uses a different model of our salvation, the sacramentum-exemplum paradigm, which he also gleans from Augustine. The sacramentum comprises all the acts of the triune godhead by which the salvability of the entire human race was achieved. But the sacramentum has no effect on the salvation of human individuals until each human being imitates Christ\u27s exemplum, through which the individuals interiorize the sacramentum and complete the process of their own salvation. I studied certain key terms, such as sacramentum, mysterium, redemptio, salus, and exemplum, and the correlation between Leo\u27s use of Adam and Christ or the first and the second Adam. Furthermore, in order to locate the place of Pope Leo\u27s soteriology within the history of the development of that doctrine in the fathers, I attempted to ascertain the development of key elements that bear on Leo\u27s doctrine. The pope borrows eclectically from a wide array of sources, and he tries to hold them together with his understanding of the sacramental presence of Christ in the church. The bulk of my dissertation relies on the systematic analysis of Pope Leo\u27s sermons in an attempt to piece together his soteriology. Through this analysis I discovered that, in Leo\u27s eyes, it is not enough to say that we are saved through the church or that the church is the vessel of our salvation. We are saved in the church, precisely because it is the body of Christ; and the saving power of the sacramentum Christi is engaged only in this place through the operation of the Holy Spirit. As a direct result of the sacramental economy established by Christ in the church, the means of our salvation in the church is celebration, comprising a twofold remedy: a sacramentum and an exemplum.
