The Shepherd of Hermas in Latin

The Shepherd of Hermas is a very important witness of the early history of the Church. Its Latin translation, the Vulgata, is crucial for any critical edition of Hermas work because no complete sources of the original Greek text survived. Following on the last critical edition of the Vulgata (Hilgenfeld 1873), this work offers a more modern and complete philological study through an investigation of new unknown textual sources.
