This volume presents sixteen articles in English, German, Italian and French about the reception of the ‘golden-mouthed’ preacher and patriarch of Constantinople, John Chrysostom. The scope of the collection is admirably comprehensive, ranging from contributions on the church Father's reputation in late antique historiography (W. Mayer, M. Walraff) to his early modern reception in Ethiopia (W. Witakowski), from his presence in early medieval Bulgarian literature (M. Illert), to a survey of contemporary Greek Orthodox scholarship (G. D. Dragas). This alone makes the book a welcome addition to the literature, for it underlines the dynamics of intellectual appropriation over the ages in east and west. Yet two features are of particular interest. First, the collection explores Chrysostom's reception in different media, which sheds new light on the versatility of patristic authority in intellectual, devotional and political contexts. Thus, next to studies of textual transmission and canon formation (R. Brändle-W. Pradels, U. Dill and a tour de force mini-monograph by J.-L. Quantin), the reader will find innovative essays on the visual representation of the saint and his thought. K. Krause studies how and why Byzantine manuscript illuminations put particular visual emphasis on Chrysostom as a divinely inspired author, and B. Schellewald interprets the eleventh-century frescoes in the church of St Sophia, the archbishop's see at Ohrid in present-day Macedonia, placing the paintings in a liturgical context against the backdrop of the Great Schism. Secondly, the collection makes a valuable contribution to the study of pseudepigraphy as a form of patristic reception. S. J. Voicu lays out this complex and contested field, analysing four works in more detail (Comparatio regis et monachi, De sancta Pentecoste, homilia 2, and Hypapanten). G. Philias re-investigates the authenticity of Chrysostom's Liturgy, focusing on its prayers and concluding that Chrysostom was not the author, but an editor of some of the prayers, or, more generally, an influence on the thought they expressed. This collection of articles, which includes more than forty illustrations and an index locorum, will be useful not just for students of Chrysostom, but for anyone interested in the emergence and development of the patristic tradition.
