Currently I am finishing up corrections on the translation of Hippolytus' Commentary on the Song of Songs. In the dissertation I argue in support of the notion that the commentary was produced to be performed during the celebrations surrounding Passover baptism. I hope that it will give insight into certain ancient practices of the celebration of postbaptismal anointing, the celebration of Easter/Passover, and the Eucharist. The Georgian and Greek texts are presented in full. The dissertation includes a translation into English of all the relevant fragments (esp. Georgian, Greek). For the Paleo-Slavic florilegia I give only my English translation of Bonwetch. It will be available in the Texas Christian University Library sometime this summer. Meanwhile I will be searching for a publisher. Perhaps the translation will be published separately from my introductory chapters on authorship, social setting, and hermeutical approach.
