I28-R145-14367_oai2025-11-17 Rivera Díaz, Pedro Emilio 2024-08-26 The epistolary corpus of Photius, twice patriarch of Constantinople (858-867 and 877-886), represents a significant document in the history of letters for its volume and for its recipients and senders, which include important figures of his time as well as friends and family. Moreover, the contents are diverse as they range from personal, political to theological and religious topics. Among these letters there is the 152th, addressed to his brother Tarasius, in which Photius develops the topic of the interpretation that various Church Fathers have given to the phrase “ἐφ᾽ ᾧ” in Romans 5:12, both that he considered incomplete (due to “Adam” or “death” is supposed) and the most suitable for interpretation (“because”). However, because Photius does not openly specify his sources, many attempts have been made to locate and comment on them since the publication of the letter (1651). This paper aims to analyze those sources that have been located from a new perspective, and introduce an additional source that has not yet been considered. El corpus epistolar de Focio, patriarca de Constantinopla en dos ocasiones (858-867 y 877-886), representa un documento significativo para la historia literaria no solo por su cantidad sino también por sus destinatarios y remitentes, que incluyen personajes importantes de su momento, así como amigos y familiares. A su vez, los contenidos son variados pues oscilan entre temas de corte personal, político, teológico y religioso. Entre las cartas se encuentra la 152, dirigida a su hermano Tarasio, en la que desarrolla la cuestión del sentido que diversos Padres de la Iglesia dieron a la frase “ἐφ᾽ ᾧ” en Romanos 5:12, tanto aquellos que considera incompletos (pues sobreentienden “Adán” o “muerte”), como el más idóneo (“porque”). Sin embargo, debido a que Focio no especifica abiertamente ninguna de sus fuentes, desde la publicación de esta carta (1651) se han hecho intentos por ubicarlas y comentarlas. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar bajo una nueva perspectiva aquellas que han sido ubicadas, así como presentar otra que no ha sido considerada hasta ahora. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/14367 10.34096/petm.v45.n2.14367 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/14367/13760 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 45 Núm. 2 (2024); 137-152 2683-9636 Focio de Constantinopla Carta 152 Romanos 5:12 exégesis patrística Photius of Constantinople Letter 152 Romans 5:12 Patristic exegesis Between Adam, Death and Cause: The Patristic Exegesis of Romans 5:12 in Photius’ Letter 152 Entre Adán, la muerte y la causa: la exégesis patrística de Romanos 5:12 en la carta 152 de Focio info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=14367_oai |

The epistolary corpus of Photius, twice patriarch of Constantinople (858-867 and 877-886), represents a significant document in the history of letters for its volume and for its recipients and senders, which include important figures of his time as well as friends and family.
