To distinguish different kinds of fragmentary tradition it is important to analyse and to interprete literary fragments, and also to pay attention to the differences of paraphrases, excerpts, or epitomes of lost texts. It seems to be exceptionally important for the understanding of christian texts only in fragments handed down that often the fragmentation was made willingly. Authors consciously quoted pieces of other authors only to refute them. There are preserved completely only three letters of Arius. Some fragments of his other works given by Athanasius show some theological contradictions to these letters. The Church History of Philostorgius, an anhomoean church historian of the fifth century, is handed down only in fragments (not only but mostly excerpts of Photius). The first critical edition of these fragments by Joseph Bidez in the beginning of the last century (Philostorgius Kirchengeschichte mit dem Leben des Lucian von Antiochien und den Fragmenten eines arianischen Historiographen, GCS 24, Leipzig 1913; 2nd edition by F. Winkelmann, Leipzig 1970; 31981) has to be seen as one of the best examples of a critical edition of fragments. The same is to say with regard to the critical edition of some fragments of a so called arian church historian made by J. Bidez likewise and edited in the same volume (p. 202-241). Critical editions like these of fragments of the literary heir open new perspectives to the history of ancient christianity. © Walter de Gruyter Religion: general nationallicence Christianity nationallicence Zeitschrift für Antikes Christentum Walter de Gruyter 8/1(2004-09-01), 88-106 0949-9571 8:1<88 2004 8 zach https://doi.org/10.1515/zach.2004.8.1.88 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/zach.2004.8.1.88 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Brennecke Hanns Christof NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Zeitschrift für Antikes Christentum Walter de Gruyter 8/1(2004-09-01), 88-106 0949-9571 8:1<88 2004 8 zach CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
