Abstract:
Abstract The Codex Sinaiticus, a 4th century biblical manuscript, offers an interesting point of view on the textual transmission of the Shepherd of Hermas, which is extremely complicate because of the fragmentary status of all its Greek sources and of the presence of several translations in different languages (Latin, Ethiopic, Coptic, Georgian and Middle Persian). New studies on some of the most significant sources like the new leaves Codex Sinaiticus (2010) and the Latin translation Vulgata (2014) enable a new reconstruction of Hermas’ textual transmission. The present article will evidence the key role of the Sinaiticus as point of contact between different textual versions of the Shepherd, which have had their autonomous life, and will offer a new reconstruction of Hermas’ textual transmission.

Abstract:
AbstractIn both narrative passages and ethical precepts, the early Christian text The Shepherd of Hermas places great emphasis on the virtue of enkrateia, self-control or self-restraint. At the same time, surprisingly erotic elements appear, beginning with an opening scene in which Hermas observes a woman of beauty and character emerging from her bath. Epithumia, desire, is immediately problematized. Though the text?s continuing interplay between motifs of desire and self-restraint at times seems clumsy, one can argue that it is nevertheless coherent and linked to the text?s depiction of masculinity. In the end, The Shepherd of Hermas seems to narrate the key task in Christian self-formation not as the suppression or repression of desire, but as the exercise of techniques of self scrutiny that lead to the seductions of self-control, the luxuriousness of virtue, the manly surrender to holy desire.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the date, reception and literary setting of the Shepherd of Hermas. It includes a reassessment of the Muratorian Canon, the most important external evidence for the date. Chapter 2 explores critical questions relating to the Shepherd's internal evidence, particularly the date. It considers textual and numismatic evidence, concluding that the Shepherd probably dates to the early second century. Chapter 3 is a fresh study of the Muratorian Canon, often assumed to date the Shepherd accurately; however it is considered here to reflect an important early negative perception of the Shepherd. This Chapter argues that the Canon is a Roman canonical list, possibly an excerpt from a lost dialogue, written within an early-third century anti-Montanist context, from the Hippolytean school. The Shepherd was probably used as a scriptural authority by Callistus' church to justify a view of second repentance unacceptable to the Hippolytean school and Tertullian. This led the school to undermine the scriptural authority of the Shepherd, by dating it to the time of Pius. Chapter 4 sheds further light upon the Shepherd through a fresh study of its wider literary setting. After a comparison with other apocalyptic works, especially I Enoch and 4 Ezra, it is argued that the whole of the Shepherd: Visions, Mandates and Similitudes, is an apocalypse not only in form but also in content. Three main themes are considered: mode of revelation, eschatology and angelology. This apocalyptic dimension also sheds light upon the Shepherd's common paraenetic tradition with the New Testament, especially James (an Appendix sets out this material), on the understanding of repentance in the Shepherd, and on contemporary ecclesiastical disputes. Finally the use of the word homonoia is judged to indicate a further literary link with the group of second century Greek writings termed the 'Second Sophistic'.

Abstract:
The authorship and time of origin of the Shepherd have not been subjected to the same rigorous enquiry as the First Epistle of Clement and the Epistles of Ignatius. The reason for this is probably that the Shepherd has had little to contribute to contemporary polemics in the way that the other two Apostolic Fathers did. The method followed in this study is the reconstruction, where possible, of the contents of each codex of which we have fragments or quotations, and the comparison of the contents of these codices. Where the content of the original codex appears to have been only a part of the Shepherd, calculations based on the traditional three sections - Visions, Mandates and Similitudes - have been used. Where these have not sufficed, manuscript notations have been called into play. The results indicate that there are a number of lines of cleavage within the Shepherd where ancient codices began or ended their selection of material. These lines of cleavage, it is hypothesised, must have originated in the process of composition of the Shepherd. Yet at the same time there was in the ancient codices a perception of the various parts of the Shepherd as a unity. The oldest codex known to us contains the Shepherd in its entirety. Once the lines of cleavage have been established by means of the reconstructed codices and the manuscript notations, a study of internal inconsistences of the sort traditional in "Quellenkritik" or "Literary Criticism" is undertaken, and a chronological schema of the different strands which make up the Shepherd is offered. It is suggested that the core (Viss. I to IV, Mandd. I to XIIa, Simm. I singular parts only, II to VIII) came from one hand, probably towards the end of the first century. This core underwent four subsequent editorial reworkings which produced the text known to us today by the end of the second century.

Abstract:
The Shepherd of Hermas, hereafter simply referred to as The Shepherd, is a long document that was highly prized in the early church. It gives an account of the visions and dreams that were experienced by the main character, Hermas. This gives the impression to the general reader that the text is of the genre of an apocalypse1. While Hermas 'sees' angelic figures and the visions are explained by a spiritual guide, it lacks the visions of heaven that is central to other apocalypse literature, and also, end-of-the-world catastrophic occurrences. Consequently, The Shepherd cannot be considered as apocalyptic, or even pseudo-apocalyptic. The genre of The Shepherd will be considered in a later chapter of this thesis. A description of the narrative structure is given later in this introduction.

Abstract:
Transcendence and transformation have been established as key motifs in apocalypses. The transformation of a seer during a heavenly journey is found commonly in such esoteric apocalypses as I Enoch. No heavenly journey occurs in the works treated here. Rather, symbolic women figures--"ladies" in the classical sense--who are associated with God's City or tower, undergo transformation at key points in the action. The surface structures of Joseph and Aseneth, 4 Ezra, the Apocalypse and The Shepherd of Hermas are traced, and the crucial transformation episode or episodes are located within each structure. Transformation of figures representing God's people suggests the significance of identity within the apocalyptic perspective. Apocalypses allow the world to be viewed from the future or from the heavens (J. J. Collins' "temporal" and "spatial" axes); the genre also invites the reader to change identity (the "identical" axis), and so become someone in tune with divine mystery and revelation.

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse est proposée une définition du genre poétique bien connu qu’est la poésie bucolique. Son point de départ réside dans le double statut qui la caractérise : c’est à la fois un titre (les Bucoliques) et un genre (la poésie bucolique). Le fait de privilégier l’un ou l’autre de ces statuts oriente la définition qui est retenue. Nous avons donc examiné les sources antiques et tenté d’inverser la perspective habituellement retenue : alors que l’on considère souvent que c’est le genre qui a engendré le titre, nous pensons que c’est le titre (Bucoliques) qui a engendré le genre. En d’autres termes, à l’origine, un poème bucolique n’est pas un « poème de bouviers », mais un poème contenu dans un recueil intitulé Βουκολικά. Ce n’est que dans un second temps que le sens du titre originel (Βουκολικά) se serait restreint au genre tel que nous le connaissons aujourd’hui (une « poésie de bouviers », souvent réduite à une « poésie de pâtres ») et qui aurait entraîné, à la fin de l’Antiquité, le remplacement de ce titre par les mots « idylles » et « églogues », qui à l’origine n’avaient aucun rapport avec la poésie bucolique. La définition du poème bucolique que nous proposons est fondée sur la rencontre entre deux personnes et l’interprétation d’un chant, car ce schéma s’observe dans la plupart des poèmes bucoliques, y compris post-théocritéens. Dès lors opère une loi de variation censée varier le genre des chants insérés. Cela créée une hiérarchie entre les genres : le poème bucolique n’est pas un poème de bouviers, mais un poème comportant l’interprétation d’un chant dont le genre est appelé à varier. La notion de « mime » n’est ici étudiée qu’à titre de variante de la bucolicité. En effet, trois poèmes de Théocrite sont ainsi décrits parce qu’ils n’appartiennent ni au monde de la campagne (poèmes bucoliques), ni au monde des héros (epyllia). Nous analysons la manière dont cette catégorie s’est constituée, puis sa pertinence : si elle permet à n’en pas douter de constater des codes communs entre les poèmes de Théocrite et ceux d’Hérondas, elle ne doit pas faire oublier que la différence métrique entre les deux auteurs implique une différence d’esthétique
The aim of this study is a definition of Bucolic poetry. Nowadays it can be analized as a title (Bucolics) or as a poetry genre (bucolic poetry). The choice which is made between these two categories has consequences on the way bucolic poetry is theorised. I try to demonstrate that the genre was invented out of the title : at first, a bucolic poem was no more than a poem included in collection entitled Βουκολικά. At the end of Antiquity this title had been changed into Idylls in the Greek-speaking World and into Eglogues in the Latin-speaking world because the definition has changed. « Bucolicity » is based not on the cowherd, but on a scenario which is repeated from a poem to another : two people meet, a song is sung, and the people leave each other. Any poetic genre could be included in the song which is sung, so I distinguish the bucolic poem from the inserted song which lies inside. I then compare Theocritus to Herodas and Sophron because some bucolic poems are nowadays called « urban mimes ». The name of this categorie is modern, so it shows how new definitions (and new termes) are constantly proposed for poetic genres
