The sermon De pace (AN h Esc 59) connects two important New Testament passages on the gift of peace, John 14,27 and Matthew 5,9, and interprets peace as Christ’s heritage to the peacemakers. The sermon was previously known only through three abridged versions, which were widely circulated under the names of Ambrose and Augustine. The critical edition of the complete version is based primarily on the Vienna Corpus (Vienna, ÖNB lat. 4147), discovered by Leroy, and on the recently discovered miscellaneous manuscript Basel, University Library B X 15, both of which attribute the text to John Chrysostom. A comparison of the sermon’s linguistic and stylistic features, as well as its theological aspects, proves that it is the work of the same 5th-century Donatist bishop whose sermons are preserved in the Vienna Corpus.
