It con rms some episodes attested only by a few manuscripts, the Athos manuscript Xenophontos 32 in particular. Une icône d’Arsos (Chypre) offre un témoignage important des Actes de l’apôtre Philippe récemment publiés. Elle con rme certains épisodes attestés par quelques manuscrits seulement, par le manuscrit de l’Athos Xenophontos 32 en particulier. Introduction Greek Texts on the Apostle Philip The Acts of Philip (BHG 1516-1526d)1 from the manuscript Athous Xenophontos 32, published in 1999, is a long Greek text. It is a more extensive document than either the Martyrdom edited by Konstantin Tischendorf in the middle of the nineteenth century or the  rst Acts published by Maximilien Bonnet at the beginning of the twentieth century.2 Between the discovery of the Xenophontos 32 1.

BOVON and the publication of the quasi-complete work, I searched for traces of these Acts of Philip in Byzantine literature.3 The Acts of Philip are not the only memories of the apostle and evangelist—often blended into a single person—that the Byzantine period has preserved. The most widespread account is that of Symeon Metaphrastes (BHG 1527), which transports the disciple directly from Palestine to Asia Minor, to the city of Hierapolis to be precise.4 This text overlooks the presence of the two animals, the leopard and the kid goat. The Synaxarion of the Church of Constantinople (BHG 1528e) follows this example and focuses its attention on the martyrdom without forgetting the presence of Bartholomew and Mariamne.5 The same is true of the Menologion of the Emperor Basil.6 A text of the Menaea of November (BHG 1528f ) resumes Acts of Philip 1–7, but does not venture any further.7 A Greek manuscript, edited in part by Maximilien Bonnet, the Parisinus gr. 1551 (BHG 1528), also presents the contents of Acts of Philip 1–7 before moving to the martyrdom story, and has the particularity of placing the second act, which normally takes place at Athens, after the seventh and situates it probably at Nicatera.8 This document also has three other distinguishing characteristics. a) It ignores Acts of Philip 8–14, particularly the entry of the trio into the city of Hierapolis (Acts Phil. 13) and the healing of Stachys (Acts Phil. 14). b) At Nicatera, the opposition to the apostles comes primarily from the Jews, and in this context, the apostles are explicitly put in prison. c) The two animals are absent from this composition. As its name indicates, the account of the Translatio (BHG 1529) follows the martyrdom story and recounts the transfer of the relics of Philip from Ophiorymos to Hierapolis (the two cities are not confused 1891-1903; repr.

PG 117, 160-61. 7. PG 105, 183-96. This text leaves the episode at Athens as the second act. A new witness of this text (BHG 1528f) is the Greek manuscript Sinaiticus gr. 577. 8. BONNET, “Acta Philippi,” 91-98. A NEW WITNESS OF THE ACTS OF PHILIP 11 here).9 The Laudatio (BHG 1530b) edited by Albert Frey insists on the merits of the apostle, but the author knows the Acts of Philip and even refers explicitly to it (lin. 75-152). He makes several allusions or short references to the several acts and the martyrdom story. He seems to allude to Acts of Philip 1, 4, 8, and from 13 till the martyrdom.10 Other texts include the brief Catalogs of the Apostles that situate the ministry of the saint at Hierapolis, and some of these documents point out that he was cruci ed upside-down.11 Sermon 9 (BHG 1530), in honor of Philip, by Nicetas the Paphlagonian, insists on the apostle’s ministry in Asia and on his martyrdom at Hierapolis.12 The Laudatio (BHG 1530c) by Philagathos of Cerami (published also under the name Theophanes Kerameus) consists of a meditation on the New Testament passages on Philip, particularly the  rst chapter of the Gospel of John.13 What the Byzantine historian Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos recounts about Philip does not go beyond that of Symeon Metaphrastes; his account focuses on Philip preaching and suffering at Hierapolis. It is even less complete than the metaphrastic one.14 As for the monk of Saint-Sabbas Ioasaph who, at the end of the nineteenth century  nished his days at Mount Athos, he recounts in popular Greek, in his great black hardbound notebook, a fairly complete life of the apostle,15 which follows Acts of Philip 1–7 before unfolding the account of the martyrdom at Hierapolis.16 In brief, with the exception of the Laudatio (BHG 1530b), none of these witnesses displays an exhaustive acquaintance with the Acts 9.
