About the Book

English summary: The Tale of Aphroditian, a highly imaginative version of the Magi pericope (Matthew 2:1-12), was very popular in the Byzantine and Slavic worlds until the 16th century. For the first time, Katharina Heyden describes the complex history of the tale from medieval Russia to pre-Constantine Syria. Using the musical terms theme and variations, the author analyzes the literary, iconographic and historical contexts as well as the main theological aspects as the variations, and the leitmotiv is a positive Christian reception of pagan antiquity and its cult. The appendix presents the various versions of the tale in the original languages (Slavonic and Greek) and in German as well, along with the Byzantine miniatures, some of which are being published for the first time. This work was awarded the GSCO-Price 2009 of the Gesellschaft zum Studium des christlichen Ostens.This work was awarded the GSCO-Price 2009 of the Gesellschaft zum Studium des christlichen Ostens. German description: Die Erzahlung des Aphroditian berichtet in einer phantasievollen Ausgestaltung der Magierperikope (Mt 2,1-12) von der wundervollen Offenbarung der Geburt Christi durch heidnische Gotter im persischen Heratempel und der dadurch ausgelosten Reise der Magier nach Juda. Wahrend die Erzahlung im Westen weitestgehend unbekannt ist, erfreute sie sich in der byzantinischen und slavischen Welt grosster Beliebtheit. Katharina Heyden widmet sich erstmalig der komplexen Uberlieferungsgeschichte der Erzahlung des Aphroditian. In Anknupfung an die musikalische Gattung Thema und Variationen analysiert sie die verschiedenen literarischen, ikonographischen und historischen Uberlieferungskontexte sowie die daraus resultierenden theologischen Akzentsetzungen als Variationen. Die Darstellung erfolgt ruckwarts durch die Uberlieferungsgeschichte von der selbstandig uberlieferten Erzahlung im Russland des 15. und 16. Jhs. uber prachtvolle byzantinische Miniaturencodices aus dem 11. Jh., eine Weihnachtspredigt des Johannes von Damaskos (8.Jh.), den Disputationsroman De gestis in Perside (6./5.Jh.) und die Christliche Geschichte des Philippos von Side (5. Jh.) zu den Ursprungen der Erzahlung, die in vorkonstantinscher Zeit in Syrien vermutet werden. Als Leitmotiv erscheint dabei die Frage nach den in den Variationen zu Tage tretenden Spielarten einer positiven Bezugnahme auf den heidnischen Kult. Ein Materialteil enthalt die verschiedenen Versionen der Erzahlung in Originalsprache und Ubersetzung sowie die (teilweise erstmals veroffentlichten) byzantinischen Miniaturen.Die Arbeit wurde mit dem GSCO-Preis 2009 der Gesellschaft zum Studium des christlichen Ostens ausgezeichnet.
