ii. translations.—(a) german translations.
The treatise on the Priesthood has been translated by Hasselbach, 1820; Ritter, 1821,
and others. The Bibliothek der Kirchenväter (Rom. Cath.), published at Kempten in Bavaria,
devotes ten small volumes to St. Chrysostom, including the Priesthood, ascetic Treatises,
and Homilies, translated by Joh. Chrysostomus Mitterrutzner, 1869–’84. German translations
of selected Homilies by J. A. Cramer (Leipzig, 1748–’51, 10 vols.); Feder (Augsburg, 1786);
Ph. Mayer (Nürnberg, 1830); W. Arnoldi (Trier, 1835); Augusti (Predigten der Kirchenväter,
vols. I. and II., Leipzig, 1839); Jos. Lutz (Tübingen, 2d ed. 1859); Gust. Leonhardi (Leipzig,
1888, selected sermons and orations, in vol I. of Klassikerbibliothek der Christl. Predigtliter-
atur).
(b) english translations.
The work on the Priesthood was translated by Hollier (London, 1728); Bunce (London,
1759); Hohler (Cambridge, 1837); Marsh (London, 1844); Harris Cowper (London, 1866);
and Stephens (N. York, 1888, prepared for this “Library”).
The Homilies on the Statues and on the New Testament were translated by several
scholars for the “Oxford Library of the Fathers,” 1839–’77, 16 vols. The earlier parts (on the
First Epistle to the Corinthians, and on the Statues) are based on the text of Montfaucon
and Savile, the later parts on the improved text of Field. The Oxford translation has been
revised and annotated by American scholars for this “Library,” and new translations of
other works of St. Chrysostom have been added, namely, the treatise on the Priesthood, the
Exhortation to the fallen Theodore, Letters, Tracts, and Special Homilies (in this first volume).
