| 要約: | At the end of the year 386, Ambrose of Milan replies to a request from the bishops of Emilia, who wish to known the date of forthcoming Easters (during which, by an intriguing set of circumstances, Augustine of Hippo would be baptized). This text contains the first use of the nineteen-year solar-lunar cycle in latin computist practice. The arguments put forward by Krusch and Schwartz for seeing this letter as inauthentic, when analysed, turn out to be weak. The thesis defended by Charles Jones, that the letter contains interpolated passages, appears questionable. It seems preferable to consider it as an authentically Ambrosian work, following in particular the analysis of Zelzer, its editor in the CSEL—although several elements of this analysis are open to criticism. The rhetorical structure of the letter deserves to be examined closely. It is related to that of other writings of the bishop of Milan, bearing in mind the lack of familiarity of the letter writer with the subject being treated. Furthermore, the technical foundation of the letter brings out the role played by Arians of Homoian obedience in diffusion of this particular cycle, in the Greek world as much as in the Latin world. The origin of the legend of Pachomius receiving from an angel the revelation of the nineteen-year cycle is clarified. |
