Abstract

In his study of the St. Basil of Caesarea corpus, Fedwick reports that there are two Latin adaptations of the so-called Λόγος περὶ ἀσκήσεως, listed by the acronyms *AskAdm2f and *AskAdm2s, respectively. One of them, *AskAdm2f, transmitted by the manuscript Bollandianus 27, remains unpublished. Unfortunately, this manuscript is not available. The discovery of another manuscript containing *AskAdm2f has enabled me to publish it. A comparison of the two adaptations shows that they are independent renditions of two original Greek versions, which were probably somewhat different.
