Theclae (CPG 6675) and In sanctae deiparae annuntiationem (CPG 6656.39). Charting a relatively substantial history of misguided attributions of these texts to Basil’s name, including the evidence of the earliest underscript of the double palimpsest, Vat. gr. 1853, the author shows the far-reaching consequences of such claims. By comparing style and the theological content of the attributed works to other works in Basil of Seleucia’s corpus, the author confirms the spurious status of the works allegedly linked to his name and thus that of the associated hymn.

Research paper thumbnail of Basil of Seleucia’s Homilia in Iob (CPG 6667) and its depiction of the voice

Studia Patristica CXXIX. Vol. 26: From the Fifth Century Onwards (Greek Writers). Peeters, 2021, pp. 3-8.

This article discusses an exegetical homily on the Book of Job, In Iob (CPG 6667; Vat.gr. 1587), ... more This article discusses an exegetical homily on the Book of Job, In Iob (CPG 6667; Vat.gr. 1587), written by Basil of Seleucia, a relatively understudied fifth-century bishop who played an active role in the Council of Chalcedon. After proposing the authenticity of the homily through stylistic analysis, the article considers Basil’s treatment of Job within the context of the Antiochene tradition (John Chrysostom, Theodoret of Cyrus, Severian of Gabala), and evaluates some of the themes that characterize Basil’s interpretation, such as the instrumentality of nature and of the voice in the struggle of the just.

After confirming Basil of Seleucia’s authorship of the text, the two homilies are compared with respect to style and content, and after correcting a previous criterion for dating Basil’s homilies, De Ioseph is identified as a source for Hom. 8.
