Bøker av Hippolytus

Since 1963 the seriesPatristische Texte und Studienhas been publishing research findings coordinated by the Patristics Commission, which today is a joint venture of all the German Academies. The series is presenting editions, commentaries and monographs on the writings and teachings of the Church Fathers.

Identified in the early twentieth century as the work of Hippolytus, this text provides liturgical information of great antiquity, and as such has been massively influential on liturgical study and reform, especially in Western Churches. This new edition is the first to incorporate a recently discovered Ethiopic manuscript.
