Athenagorae qui fertur: De resurrectione mortuorum

This monograph comprises a critical edition of Ps.-Athenagora De Resurrectione Mortuorum , a complete edition of Arethas’ Scholia on the treatise, and a critical edition of the extant fragments of De Ressurectione attributed to Justin Martyr. Athenagoras was a Christian apologist, who flourished in the second half of the 2nd century CE (ca. 180). Traditionally two extant Greek works have been attributed to him: a Plea on Behalf of the Christians , probably addressed to the Roman emperors Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, and the On the Resurrection of the Dead . The attribution of the latter treatise to Athenagoras has been a matter of dispute. In his introduction, the editor sides with those scholars denying Athenagoras’ authorship, but ascribes its date to the end of the 2nd century.
