Abstract
This edition presents the Third Letter of Gregory Palamas to Gregory Akindynos - a crucial text for the history of the Hesychast conflict - in the two different versions that have come down to us. Besides the first-time synoptic and searchable edition of the two Greek texts, the website provides information and links to the manuscripts, English summaries of both versions, information on the historical background, annotations to the texts and a bibliography.
This edition results from an interdisciplinary collaborative research project with the title “Acindynus and Palamas in Dispute on Divine Energies”, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The project was established at the Institute of Historical Theology (Faculty of Theology, University of Bern, Switzerland) and ran from January 2015 through March 2019. The research group was headed by Prof. Dr. Katharina Heyden. The digital edition was realised by Dr. Renate Burri (synopsis and editing of Greek texts, website design, preparation of DTD/XML documents, English texts) and Rafael Schwemmer / text & bytes (technical implementation, website design).
