Further to this post, a Chrysostom scholar has written to me and expressed interest in having a go at translating this “lost” portion of Oratio 2 against the Jews by John Chrysostom. I’ve offered my usual terms, and he’s going to look at the Pradels text and (German) translation and see what he thinks.
My intention is to make the translation public domain. Chrysostom’s sermons against the Jews are found in English in various places on the web (some of them polemical anti-Jewish sites). My intention would be to try to get all these sites to add the extra material on the bottom of their version, and thereby ensure that the full text is the one available everywhere, rather than the mutilated version.
In that way the damage would finally be healed, and become a historical footnote. If I don’t do that, it is likely that the translation of the extra material will simply be forgotten, and the “vulgate” text of this oration (about 30% of the whole thing) will remain the standard text.
