Abstract
The twelve compilations on the Apostle that Florus of Lyon (floruit ca. 825-855) drew from twelve corpora one after the other (Cyprian, Hilarius, Ambrose, Pacian, Theophilus of Alexandria, Gregory of Nazianzus, Ephrem, Leo the Great, the canonical collections, Fulgentius, Paulinus of Nola, and Avitus of Vienna) provide an early indirect witness to around two hundred Late Antique and Early Medieval texts. These compilations were noticed as such by the middle of the xviith century, but edited only in the early xxist, in Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaevalis, 193, 193A, 193B. This study shows that that edition is not reliable for either its text or its commentary; and tries to highlight the elements of context and analysis which may help future editors of Florus’ sources to exploit his testimony.
