Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos und sein Verhältnis zu den lateinischen
Namen und lateinischen Lehnwörtern im Griechischen
Winkelmann und Gentz haben in einer kurzen Anmerkung zu den Quellen der
Kirchengeschichte von Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos festgestellt, dass Nikephoros nirgends
lateinische Quellen benutzt hat und kein lateinisch verstand. Sie haben so auch die die Alte These
von Achelis, in der er das Gegenteil zu beweisen glaubte, widerlegt. Nikephoros Einstellung zu
Latein kann man trotzdem in gewisser Weise verfolgen. In seinem umfangreichen Werk musste
er sich mit vielen lateinischen Namen und lateinischen Lehnwörtern auseinandersetzen, die er in
seinen Quellen fand und die zu seiner Zeit schon in Vergessenheit geraten sind. Der Vortrag widmet
sich seinem Umgang mit diesen Latina.

The New Edition of Nikephoros Kallistou Xanthopoulos’
Church History
The
Church History
of Nikephoros Kallistou Xanthopoulos was composed between ca. 1310
and 1320 and is preserved in only one manuscript, which is now kept in Vienna (Vind. Hist. gr.
8). However, this manuscript is not, as has been assumed, the presentation copy for emperor
Andronikos II Palaiologos to whom the work is dedicated, but some decades younger. Since the last
available edition in the
Patrologia graeca
is still based on the first which appeared in 1630 in Paris,
a new edition of this important text was considered necessary, and is currently being prepared by a
group of researchers at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, or cooperating with it. It will appear in
the
Series Vindobonensis
of the
CFHB
.
The
Church History
consists of eighteen books which cover the time from Jesus Christ to 610
AD. At least five more books until 912 AD were apparently planned, but never executed. For the
existing part, Nikephoros based his work on the
Church Histories
of Eusebios, Sokrates, Sozomenos,
Theodoretos and Evagrios, but added a lot of material from other sources whose authors are not
mentioned by name. Most of them were identified by the groundbreaking study of Friedhelm
Winkelmann and Günter Gentz from 1966, but their results could still be considerably supplemented
by the use of modern editions and databases.
Special attention is paid to the system of punctuation in the
codex unicus
, which has been
thoroughly analysed and will serve as a basis for a better understanding of the text and an adequate
punctuation of the new critical edition.
