Summary:Gnter Stemberger points to Justinians concern that the Jews should not stray out of a strictly orthodox interpretation of Judaism, and Klaus Thraede points to a second-century pagan papyrus text describing an initiation ceremony (into a mystery cult) demanding exactly the same infant sacrice and other horric acts attributed to the Christians in the late second century. [...]the title Hairesis, denoting both choice and more technically heresy, could have attracted more contributions on early Christian dissenting traditions from Gnosticism to Monophysitism, and for the Middle Ages, on movements such as the Bogomils and Cathars. In the Reformation we have Valla and Vergerio and Vermigli and Ubiquitat and Ursinus, and Unitarians not only in the origins; while the article on dreams (Traum) is partly about Melanchthon; and the chief editor himself on the Council of Trent (Tridentinum) records the up-to-date editions and investigations since the volumes of Hubert Jedin on which everyone has relied as their guide; with the conclusion that Trent aected not only Roman Catholics, by an essential contribution to the confessionalising of all Christendom. The nal part consists of a philologico-theological analysis of part of the Temporale of the present Roman missal (its approach could well be recommended to those about to rectify the awed English translation of 1970), and a charming piece on the survival of fragments of Church Latin in the modern Italian dialects.
