Peri Pascha (English title On the Pascha) is a 2nd-century homily of Melito of Sardis written between A.D.160 and 170 in Asia Minor. It describes Christian doctrine on the Paschal mystery in the style of Second Sophistic period. It's likely that it was recited with the kind of cantillation customary in scripture reading.〔Wellesz E.J. "Journal of Theological Studies", 44 (1943), pp. 41-52〕 Its first editor, Campbell Bonner, entitled it mistakenly ''On the Passion''.〔Cf. Bonner, C. (1936) ''The Homily on the Passion by Melito, Bishop of Sardis'', pp. 107-119.〕〔Floyd V. Filson, "More Bodmer Papyri" ''The Biblical Archaeologist'' 25.2 (May 1962, pp. 50-57) p 5〕 It was corrected to ''On the Pascha'', thanks to the title found in the ''Papyrus Bodmer XIII,'' one of the Bodmer Papyri.〔Ed. M. Testuz, Geneva 1960〕〔Hall, S.G., ''The Melito Papyri'', 476-508; idem, ''Melito, Peri Pascha 1 and 2: Text and Interpretation'', 236-248〕 ==Meditation on the Paschal mystery == The homily was initially pronounced during Easter festival night celebrated, according to the custom of Quartodecimans, together with Jewish Passover on the 14th of Nissan. It revealed the meaning of Christ's Paschal mystery. The very first known use of the term ''Paschal mystery'' (literally ''Mystery of the Pascha'') is found in this early homily:〔Cantalamessa R. OFMCap, (1993) ''Easter in the Early Church'', p. 41, endnote d. Cf. Eph3:4; Col 4:3.〕 The text is inspired by Jewish Haggadah of Pesach, especially the following antitheses:〔Cantalamessa (1993), ''Easter in the Early Church'', p. 44 endnote "e"〕 Eusebius writes about Melito in his Historia Ecclesiastica that he celebrates Passover on the fourteenth of Nisan, rather than the Sunday following,〔Eusebius, ''Historia Ecclesiastica'' 5.24.〕 hence he was a Quartodeciman.〔Cantalamessa R. OFMCap, (1993) ''Easter in the Early Church'', p. 35, endnote l. Cf. Idem, ''Questioni melitoniane'', "Rivista di storia e letteratura religiosa" 6 (1970), pp. 245-267.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peri Pascha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
