The Treatise on the Apostolic Tradition of St. Hippolytus of Rome, Bishop and Martyr
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This volume is a study of the early church and the apostolic tradition according to the texts of St. Hippolytus, perhaps one of the most illuminating and direct evidences for the religious polity and ecclesiastical practices of the ancient Christians. Dom Gregory Dix provides a lengthy introduction to provide background and context, while a thorough commentary and critical apparatus assists the reader with the Greek text of the Apostolic Tradition.
George Eglinton Alston Dix (named Gregory in religion) (1901–1952) was an English monk and priest of Nashdom Abbey, an Anglican Benedictine community. He was a noted liturgical scholar whose work had particular influence on the reform of Anglican liturgy in the mid-twentieth century.
