I'm pleased to announce that Lux Patrum has reached an agreement with the Vatican to publish a Latin-English edition of papal documents on the Holy Rosary. The following texts will be included:

My new JTS article on (Ps.-)Didymus the Blind's De Trinitate is out! I argue for a late-fourth-century dating, showing that the angelology of De Trin is perfectly compatible with practices of angel veneration that are well-attested in that period. academic.oup.com/jts/advance-...

On (Ps.-)Didymus the Blind and Michael the Archangel: A Reply to Dimitrios Zaganas

ABSTRACT. Dimitrios Zaganas has recently argued that a reference to a flourishing cult of the archangels in (Ps.-)Didymus the Blind, trin. II.7.8.10 indica

In response to your feedback on the proofs, Lux Patrum has reworked our Latin-English edition of Augustine's De Trinitate to a two-column format with a larger font size. I think it turned out quite well! It'll be published in a few days.

Some time ago I translated a couple of Asterius of Cappadocia's beautiful Homilies on the Psalms into English. If someone would like to translate more of these homilies for Lux Patrum, I'd be very happy to let you use my translations and a few other drafts as a starting point. (Or you can make a

Lux Patrum plans to release three Newman titles this year, with introductions/prefaces by leading scholars: 1. The Theology of Athanasius — Pref by Lewis Ayres 2. The Eirenicon Controversy — Intro by Matthew Levering 3. The Arians of the Fourth Century — Intro by Reinhard Hütter

Too few people have read the works of the great Nicholas of Cusa — partly because Jasper Hopkins's excellent translations have long been unavailable. Lux Patrum is bringing them back into print along with the critical Latin text. Pick up a copy at luxpatrum.com

Coming soon: Origen's homilies on Ezekiel (Latin) + all of the Greek fragments — the latter having been translated for the first time into English. Many thanks to Roger Pearse for allowing us to use the translation by Mischa Hooker than he commissioned and painstakingly edited a decade ago.

Many people are asking how Lux Patrum is putting out so many volumes so quickly. The answer is that we have a team of about 15 editors hard at work on Greek-English editions of patristic and medieval texts. If you'd like to join us, email nathan@luxpatrum.com.

Typesetting for all 13 books of Richard Fitzpatrick’s beautiful new translation of Euclid’s Elements is complete. Can’t wait to see this Greek-English edition in print—it’ll be the very first dual-language version of Euclid, as far as I know.

I am holding in my hands what is (I believe) the first ever Greek-English edition of Origen's Contra Celsum. This massive 750-pager will go to print soon! Excellent editorial work, Lachlan Hodgson.

A very kind blurb from Lewis Ayres on the second volume of our collection of Newman's Writings on the Fathers: “Students of the Fathers deprive themselves of still vital reflections if they ignore the texts found in this collection. While his grand narratives of the Patristic period rarely

Received a spectacular Christmas present today: Reinhard Hütter's introductory essay to Lux Patrum's forthcoming edition of John Henry Newman's Arians of the Fourth Century. Excited to get this into print, along with the second volume of Newman's writings on the Fathers.

Lux Patrum is entering exciting new territory! Prof. Richard Fitzpatrick of UT Austin has agree to publish his translation of Euclid's Elements of Geometry with Lux Patrum. Our edition will be the very first Greek-English edition of the work, as far as I know.
