Unidentified Sermons of Severian, Bishop of Gabala
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 September 2010
Extract
Included in one of the volumes of the sermons of John Chrysostom in the Patrologia Græca are seven sermons ascribed to one Severiah, Bishop of Gabala. Besides these there are two more sermons ascribed to him in two other volumes of the Patrologia. Bardenhewer names thirteen sermons as genuine, thereby adding four to the list. Accepting these temporarily as genuine, the question to be investigated is whether an examination of these and a comparison with the Spuria attached to the sermons of Chrysostom may not bring further sermons to light.
