Sechs neue Augustinuspredigten: Teil 2 mit Edition dreier Sermones zum Thema Almosen

The present article is a follow-up of the edition of serm. Erfurt 1 (= 282 auct., on Perpetua and Felicitas), Erfurt 5 (= 362A, De resurrectione mortuorum), and Erfurt 6 (= 313G, on Cyprian) published in WSt 2008. It contains the editio princeps of another three previously unknown sermons by Augustine of Hippo from ms. Erfurt, University Library, Dep. Erf. CA. 12° 11. These recently discovered sermons deal with almsgiving, namely, Erfurt 2: De eleemosynis rerum spiritalium, Erfurt 3: De ministerio rerum carnalium quod fit in sanctos, and Erfurt 4: De eleemosynis quae fiunt in omnes, the last being an enlarged version of a sermon already known (sermo Lambot 28). Their authenticity is proved by language and style as well as by three entries in (Possid.) indic. X6. 190–192, which are identical to the titles of the three new sermons. The edition of each sermon is preceded by an introduction.
