Description
Abstract (cited)

In his letter to Pope Gregory i, Columbanus quoted a passage from Gennadius’s Liber ecclesiasticorum dogmatum. This article presents an overview of the textual history of the quotation in Columbanus’s letter and of the Easter chapter in the Liber ecclesiasticorum dogmatum. It will be suggested that the competing systems for the dating of Easter influenced the reception and transmission of Gennadius’s text from an early phase of its history. The appendix provides an overview of the manuscript witnesses of the Liber ecclesiasticorum dogmatum, noting the key variations in the Easter chapter for a representative sample.
