Roelof van den Broek publishes a Coptic manuscript of a homily on the life and passion of Christ which is ascribed to Cyril of Jerusalem. The homily is transmitted in a manuscript from the monastery in Hamuly (Fayyum) and dates from the late eighth or early ninth century. Today it is in the Pierpont Morgan Library (M610). A manuscript in the museum of the University of Pennsylvania (a palimpset) preserves fragments of the same homily. In chapter i the editor describes the manuscripts. In chapter ii he analyses the sources of the homily which relates many apocryphal stories. He identifies the possible Greek, Coptic and Syriac sources, but many of the apocryphal elements are of unknown provenance. Special attention is paid to the list of the Apostles and their parents and professions as well as to the passage on Pilate using late apocryphal sources and the chronology of Holy Week, similar to that of the Didascalia apostolorum, and to works of Epiphanius of Salamis. The sources for the divine nature of Christ, the external changing appearance of Jesus and the aspect of Moses the prophet-killer deserve special treatment. On the basis of the sources the editor comes to the conclusion that the homily cannot have been written before the eighth century. In chapter iii he describes in detail eight homilies ascribed to Cyril: most of them are published and described under changing names. The analysis leads van den Broek to the conclusion that five of them were produced by a homogeneous school in a late period and he puts forward the hypothesis of a Cyrillian cycle. The edition of the homily follows together with an annotated translation. In the appendices van den Broek presents passages of the main source. The book is completed by a bibliography and several indices. The critical edition of the text and the thorough analysis of its sources make available an interesting apocryphal text of the eighth/ninth century. It is a sound basis for further investigation on the question of the milieu and context in which the text was written and of its author's intention and desired effect.
