Book The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity

Download or read book The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity written by Thomas J. Heffernan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Modern Language Association Prize for a Scholarly Edition One of the most widely read and studied texts composed in Late Antiquity is the prison diary of Vibia Perpetua, a young woman of the elite classes who was martyred in March of the year 202 or 203 C.E. in Carthage, as part of a civic celebration honoring Caesar Geta. She was well-married and had recently become the mother of a baby son, but despite her advantages, she refused to recant her faith when she was arrested with other recent converts to Christianity. Imprisoned with her was her pregnant slave Felicity. Perpetua's steadfastness in her belief led to her martyrdom in the amphitheater. A description of the heroic deaths of both women, and the autobiography of one of the leaders of the Christian community, Saturus, is woven into Perpetua's diary by an anonymous editor, who tells us that, as they died, Perpetua, Felicity, and the other condemned Christians bid farewell with a kiss of peace. This unique and precious text survives in one Greek and in nine Latin manuscript versions. Thomas Heffernan's new study contains much that has never been done before, including a prosopography of all the individuals mentioned in the Passion, a new English translation and the first detailed historical commentary in English on the entire narrative of the Passion. It also includes a newly edited version of the Latin text based on all the extant manuscripts and - rarer still - the Greek text. He concludes the book with a complete codicological description of all of the known manuscripts and thorough scholarly indices of the text itself. Perpetua's prison diary is a revered text of early Christianity, and Heffernan's new translation and commentary brings unprecedented scholarly resources to the much-loved Passion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passion of Ss. Perpetua and Felicity, MM: A New Edition and Translation of the Latin Text, Together With the Sermons of S. Augustine Upon These Saints I record my debt to the books of many writers - above all those of Allard, Leclercq and Robinson - on whose wide erudition my work so often depends to Lady Helen Asquith, who read through my book in proof; and to Mr. Stanley Morison, who permits my translation to be reprinted and to whom I owe the first impulse to a study which has been of great interest to myself and may perhaps be of use to others.
