Excerpt from The Letters, Vol. 2 of 4: With an English TranslationAlthough the question of the authenticity of Letter VIII had been raised at times, and Abbe' Bessieres had called attention to a rather weak manuscript tradition for it in the Basilian corpus, no one had given the matter any serious attention. It remained for Robert Melcher in an article entitled Der 8 Brief des hl. Basilius, ein Werk des Evagrius Pontikus (munsterische Beitriige zur T beologie, Heft I to treat the subject for the first time in a definitive manner. The Very Reverend Melcher not only demonstrates convincingly that the letter does not belong to St. Basil, but makes a strong case for assigning it to Evagrius and for dating it toward the end of the fourth century. He approaches his problem from the strictly philological and historical point of view, and especially from the view-point of theological content.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
