Abstract

215 PSEUDO-MACARIUS AND THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS BY DOM AELRED BAKER The homilies that pass under the name of Macarius 1 continue to perplex scholars as to their true author, place of origin and sources.2 Recent work has brought strong arguments for Asia Minor and perhaps Syria as the place 3 and the last quarter of the fourth century as the time of composition.4 Nevertheless the work bears some influence from Egypt. The Messalian movement to which the author almost certainly be- longed,5 had adherents in Egypt 6 and some comparison of their doctrine with that of the egyptian monks can be made.? 1 The extant works are known by three types: I. Vatican MS gr. 694 in great part unedited; see the paraphrase and analysis in H. Doerries, Symeon von Mesopotamien : Die Ueberlieferung der Messalianischen "Maka- rios"-Schriften, Leipzig, 1941. II. The Migne edition PG 34. III. The newly discovered MSS edited by E. Klostermann and H. Berthold, Neue Homilien des Makarius/Symeon. I aus Typus III, Berlin, 1961. 2 For a succinct account of the state of the question see E. Peterson, Macario il Grande art. Enciclopedia Cattolica, vol. vii. 3 Arguments for this view are assembled
