Lieferung 3
Bis zur Ekthesis Makrostichos
[Documents on the History of the Arian Conflict]

Athanasius Werke is a German project set up to translate and edit the works of Athanasius of Alexandria, the bishop of Alexandria from 328-373 CE. The texts available online include: Apologia ad Constantium; Epistula ad Ioannem et Antiochum; Epistula ad Palladium; Epistula ad Dracontium; and Epistula ad Afros. Viewing the texts requires the installation of a Unicode Greek font (available via the site). The site, entirely in German, also includes a list of manuscripts, a biography of Athanasius, an extensive bibliography, and the beginnings of a useful prosopography (information about people mentioned in Athanasius's works). This very elegant site is produced by the Theology Department at Friedrich-Alexander-Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg.

The third fascicle of the first part of volume 3 of Athanasius’ Works continues the publication of documents relating to the history of the Arian conflict, carrying on the work started by Hans-Georg Opitz in 1934 and 1935.
The fascicle contains inter alia the texts from the Synods of Antioch 326/27, Jerusalem 335, Rome and Antioch 338-341 and the Ekthesis makrostichos; it is accompanied by a detailed introduction on the chronology of the beginnings of the Arian heresy, a German translation of the documents already published, and a bibliography and reference index.
