This essay proposes an analysis of the patristic quotations contained in the anonymous booklet Beneficio di Cristo, published in Venice in 1543, now considered the work of the Benedictine monk Benedetto Fontanini and of the humanist Marcantonio Flaminio, a close friend of the Reformer Juan de Valdés. The hypothesis presented here is that the Beneficio relies on the Reformed patristic anthology Unio dissidentium (1527, 1532, etc.), a ‘best-seller’ text assembled by Hermann Bodius (?; maybe Martin Bucer or Johannes Oecolampadius), of whom there are records of ownership by Flaminio. The major proof of the philological dependence is the presence in both texts of a quotation from Origen’s Commentary on Romans (3,3), identically cut and assembled, including the addition of a sentence. The quotation, assembled in this way, enlists Origen as a supporter of justification by faith alone, the battle-cry of the Reformation. The analysis of the other patristic quotations of the Beneficio, often misattributed by modern editions, reveals a broader affinity between Unio and Beneficio, with six common passages of the twelve analyzed in the Beneficio. Even more important is the common attempt of a ‘Catholic’ Reformation, looking for a Concordia Patrum which even includes Origen.
Il saggio si propone una nuova analisi del Beneficio di Cristo (1543), l'opera più importante della cosiddetta Riforma italiana, attraverso l'identificazione di una sua fonte finora ignota, l'Unio dissidentium (1527), anonima antologia patristica riformata svizzera. Tramite lo studio delle citazioni patristiche dell'opera, tratte dall'Unio, il saggio dimostra il tentativo di sintesi 'cattolica' in tema di giustificazione per fede operato da Marcantonio Flaminio, l'umanista e teologo secondo autore del Beneficio e possessore dell'Unio.

Abstract
This essay proposes an analysis of the patristic quotations contained in the anonymous booklet Beneficio di Cristo, published in Venice in 1543, now considered the work of the Benedictine monk Benedetto Fontanini and of the humanist Marcantonio Flaminio, a close friend of the Reformer Juan de Valdés. The hypothesis presented here is that the Beneficio relies on the Reformed patristic anthology Unio dissidentium (1527, 1532, etc.), a ‘best-seller’ text assembled by Hermann Bodius (?; maybe Martin Bucer or Johannes Oecolampadius), of whom there are records of ownership by Flaminio. The major proof of the philological dependence is the presence in both texts of a quotation from Origen’s Commentary on Romans (3,3), identically cut and assembled, including the addition of a sentence. The quotation, assembled in this way, enlists Origen as a supporter of justification by faith alone, the battle-cry of the Reformation. The analysis of the other patristic quotations of the Beneficio, often misattributed by modern editions, reveals a broader affinity between Unio and Beneficio, with six common passages of the twelve analyzed in the Beneficio. Even more important is the common attempt of a ‘Catholic’ Reformation, looking for a Concordia Patrum which even includes Origen.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
