Di che cosa tratta
Le lettere di Basilio insieme all'Esamerone, le omelie sui sei giorni della creazione, e il trattato sullo Spirito Santo.
Contesto e storia
L'Esamerone sono nove omelie predicate in una sola Quaresima, e si sente: Basilio si ferma a parlare dei pesci, degli uccelli e degli alberi con quanto sapeva la scienza del suo tempo. Il De Spiritu Sancto servì a sostenere la divinità dello Spirito, che Nicea aveva lasciato indefinita. E le lettere, di solito trascurate, sono fra le migliori fonti su come funzionasse davvero una chiesa del IV secolo.

This translation of a portion of the works of St. Basil was originally begun under the editorial supervision of Dr. Wace. It was first announced that the translation would comprise the De Spiritu Sancto and Select Letters, but it was ultimately arranged with Dr. Wace that a volume of the series should be devoted to St. Basil, containing, as well as the De Spiritu Sancto, the whole of the letters, and the Hexaemeron. The De Spiritu Sancto has already appeared in an English form, as have portions of the Letters. The De Spiritu Sancto was presumably selected for publication as being at once the most famous, as it is among the most valuable, of the extant works of this Father. The Letters, comprise short theological treatises and contain passages of historical and varied biographical interest, as well as valuable specimens of spiritual and consolatory exhortation. The Hexaemeron was added as being the most noted and popular of St. Basil's compositions in older days, and as illustrating his exegetic method and skill, and his power as an extempore preacher.
