Peri Pascha (On Pascha)
Author: Melito of Sardis
Introduction, Translation and Commentary by Monika Recinová
The present book, “Peri Pascha” (On Pascha) by Melito of Sardis (c. 170 AD) contains an introductory essay, a new Czech translation of Melitoʼs text and a comprehensive commentary. The bilingual edition of “On Pascha” is based on the most recent edition of this text, by S. G. Hall (Oxford 1979). The principal aim of the introductory essay and commentary is to outline, as far as possible, a consensual view on Melito of Sardis and his rediscovered text “On Pascha“, and to present contemporary Melitonian research. The introductory essay discusses not only the theological questions associated with Melitoʼs text but also its wider context, represented by contemporary Judaism, Christian heterodox and Gnostic streams, Hellenistic culture and mystery religions.
