Abstract
Sermo 291 is one of Augustine’s fourteen preserved sermons for the natale of John the Baptist. This article analyses its contents and transmission, and provides a new critical edition, which presents several authentic word groups and short phrases that were unknown to previous editors, but could be restored thanks to the testimony of mss. Wolfenbüttel, HAB, Weiss. 12 (4096) and Montecassino, Bibl. Abb. 12. The study of the sermon’s manuscript transmission confirms and further develops the stemmatical conclusions formulated in earlier studies with regard to other Augustinian sermons with the same or a similar transmission as s. 291. Furthermore, the study of the sermon’s indirect transmission shows its influence on two pseudo-Augustinian sermons, on Bartholomaeus of Urbino’s Milleloquium ueritatis, and on a breviary that testifies to the liturgy associated with the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
