SYNODAL LETTER OF RAVENNIUS AND OTHER BISHOPS OF GAUL TO ST LEO THE POPE.

Domino vere sancto, merito in Christo beatissimo, et apostolico honore venerando papae LEONI, RAVENNIUS, RUSTICUS, VENER⟨I⟩US, CONSTANTIANUS, MAXIMUS, ARMENTARIUS, FLORUS, SABINUS, VALERIANUS, CONSTANTIUS, NECTARIUS, MAXIMUS, ASCLEPIUS, item MAXIMUS, URSUS INGENUUS, JUSTUS, VALERIUS, SUPERVENTOR, CHRYSAPHIUS, FONTEIUS, PETRONIUS, IDATUS, AETHER⟨I⟩US, EULALIUS, EUSTATHIUS, FRATERNUS, VICTURUS, EUGENIUS, HILARUS. VERUS, AMANDUS, GERONT⟨I⟩US, PROCULAIENUS, JULIANUS, HELLADIUS, ARMENTARIUS, HONORATUS, EPARCHIUS, ANEMIUS, DYNAMIUS, MAXIMINUS, YNANTIUS et PALLADIUS.

To the lord truly holy, deservedly most blessed in Christ, and to be venerated with apostolic honour, Pope LEO: RAVENNIUS, RUSTICUS, VENERIUS, CONSTANTIANUS, MAXIMUS, ARMENTARIUS, FLORUS, SABINUS, VALERIANUS, CONSTANTIUS, NECTARIUS, MAXIMUS, ASCLEPIUS, likewise MAXIMUS, URSUS, INGENUUS, JUSTUS, VALERIUS, SUPERVENTOR, CHRYSAPHIUS, FONTEIUS, PETRONIUS, IDATUS, AETHERIUS, EULALIUS, EUSTATHIUS, FRATERNUS, VICTURUS, EUGENIUS, HILARUS, VERUS, AMANDUS, GERONTIUS, PROCULAIENUS, JULIANUS, HELLADIUS, ARMENTARIUS, HONORATUS, EPARCHIUS, ANEMIUS, DYNAMIUS, MAXIMINUS, YNANTIUS and PALLADIUS.

CAP. I. — Perlata ad nos epistola beatitudinis vestrae, quam ad Orientem pro catholicae fidei assertione misistis, optassemus statim apostolatui vestro pro tam immenso munere gratiarum actionem referre; nisi nobis difficultatem, qua in unum celeriter non potuimus convenire, vel spatia, quibus a nobis dispalati sumus, longa terrarum, vel aurarum, quae in regionibus nostris praeter consuetudinem fuit, intemperies attulisset. Det ergo apostolatus vester nostrae veniam tarditati, quae non de otio aut dissimulatione, sed de certa necessitate descendit: quaeque a nobis, etsi celeritatis gratiam abstulit, exsultandi tamen materiam auferre non potuit,

CHAP. I. — When the letter of your Beatitude which you sent to the East for the assertion of the catholic faith was brought to us, we should have wished to render thanks at once to your Apostleship for so immense a gift; had not the long distances of land by which we are scattered from one another, or the inclemency of the weather, which in our regions has been beyond the usual, brought on us the difficulty that we could not quickly meet together. Let your Apostleship therefore grant pardon to our tardiness, which came not from idleness or neglect but from a real necessity: and which, though it took from us the grace of speed, could not take away the matter for rejoicing,

CAP. II. — Exsultavimus itaque Christo propitio lectis beatitudinis vestrae litteris, et omni instructione patefacta, omnes intra Gallias constitutos exsultare mox fecimus: dolentes pariter pro his vobiscum, qui

CHAP. II. — We rejoiced, therefore, by Christ's favour, when the letter of your Beatitude had been read, and, the whole of its instruction having been disclosed, we soon made all who are settled within the Gauls rejoice: grieving likewise with you for those who […]

Elsewhere after Letter 76. The one that was 99 is now 126. Written about December of the year 451.

(d) ‹SYNODICA› · printed under col 965

Est in ms collect. 5, 11, 12, 22, 23 et 24. Cum S. Leo huic synodicae respondeat die 27 Januarii anni sequentis epist. 102, circa Decembrem anni currentis haec synodica exarata credi potest, et probabilius ante epistolam sequentem datam die 18 Decembris.

It is in the manuscripts of collections 5, 11, 12, 22, 23 and 24. Since St Leo answers this synodal letter on 27 January of the following year in Letter 102, this synodal letter may be believed to have been drawn up about December of the current year, and more probably before the following letter, dated 18 December.

Quesnel, "Constantinus". We have preferred Raynaud's reading, since our Vienna manuscript of collection 5 and another, Quesnel's Thou manuscript, support it; especially as the Regensburg manuscript supports the same reading in Leo's reply, Letter 102.

So our manuscripts, and especially those of collection 5, with Sirmond and the editions before Quesnel. Leo's Letter 102 and the subscriptions appended agree, which give Valerianus in first place, then Valerius. In Quesnel, in a different order, Valerius is read first, then Valerianus.

PL 54:967

catholicae fidei lumine de relicto, errorum tenebras inciderunt. Quae apostolatus vestri scripta, ita ut symbolum fidei, quisquis redemptionis sacramenta non negligit, tabulis cordis ascribit, et tenaci, quo ad confundendos haereticorum errores paratior sit, memoriae commendavit. Multi itaque in ea gaudentes pariter et exsultantes, recognoverunt fidei suae sensum, et ita se semper ex traditione paterna tenuisse, ut vester apostolatus exposuit, jurae laetantur. Nonnulli sollicitiores facti, beatitudinis vestrae admonitione percepta modis, omnibus se gratulantur instrutos, datamque sibi occasionem gaudent, qua libere ac fiducialiter, suffragante etiam apostolicae sedis auctoritate, eloquantur, et asserat unusquisque quod credit.

[…] having abandoned the light of the catholic faith, have fallen into the darkness of errors. These writings of your Apostleship, whoever does not neglect the sacraments of redemption inscribes on the tablets of his heart as a symbol of the faith, and has committed them to a tenacious memory, so as to be the readier to confound the errors of heretics. Many therefore, rejoicing and exulting together in it, have recognized the sense of their own faith, and rightly rejoice that they have always held it so from the tradition of the fathers, as your Apostleship has set it forth. Some, made more attentive on receiving the admonition of your Beatitude, congratulate themselves on being instructed in every way, and rejoice at the occasion given them to speak out freely and confidently, with the support too of the authority of the apostolic see, and for each to assert what he believes.

CAP. III. — Quis autem apostolatui vestro pro hoc tanto munere quo non solum Gallias, sed totum mundum velut quibusdam pretiosissimis gemmis ornavit, dignas aestimet gratias posse persolvi? Doctrinae post Deum vestrae debet fidelis, ut constanter teneat quod credebat; debet etiam infidelis, ut a perfidia sua, agnita veritate discedat, et apoetolicae institutionis luce perfusus, erroris sui tenebras derelinquat, magisque sequatur et credat, quod per os vestrum Dominus noster Jesus Christus de sacramento incarnationis suae docet, quam id teneat quod diabolus humanae salutis et veritatis inimicus instillat.

CHAP. III. — But who would think that worthy thanks could be paid to your Apostleship for this so great gift, with which it has adorned not only the Gauls but the whole world as with most precious gems? The faithful man owes it to your teaching, after God, that he holds constantly to what he believed; the unbeliever owes it too, that, the truth being recognized, he departs from his unbelief and, flooded with the light of apostolic instruction, abandons the darkness of his error, and rather follows and believes what our Lord Jesus Christ teaches through your mouth about the sacrament of His Incarnation, than holds what the devil, the enemy of man's salvation and of truth, instils.

CAP. IV. — Optassemus etiam ad filium vestrum, gloriosissimum ac fidelissimum principem, super eamdem causam litteras dare, quibus congratulantes fidei ipsius, humilitatis quoque nostrae sollicitudinem qua vos in Christo sequimur, proderemus, nisi ad nos de Orientalibus partibus nuntio perlato fieri hoc minime necessarium putassemus. Meritis autem apostolatus vestri pius Dominus praestitit ut haeresim jam diu occulte nutritam vestris temporibus proderet. Ad laudem enim sollicitudinis vestrae pertinet quod malorum error latere non potuit; ad gloriam fidei

CHAP. IV. — We should have wished also to send a letter on the same matter to your son, the most glorious and most faithful prince, in which, congratulating him on his faith, we might also make known the solicitude of our lowliness, with which we follow you in Christ, had we not thought this in no way necessary after news was brought to us from the Eastern parts. But by the merits of your Apostleship the gracious Lord has granted that a heresy long secretly nourished should be brought to light in your times. For it belongs to the praise of your solicitude that the error of the wicked could not lie hidden; to the glory of the faith […]

Aliqui codices carent voce, partibus.

By the news they mean the changed face of affairs after the death of Theodosius, and the reception of Leo's letter already throughout the East; and therefore they no longer thought it necessary to write to the new emperor, as Leo had asked while Theodosius was living, according to annotation 7 (col. 887, n. b) on Letter 67. Some manuscripts lack the word "partibus".

PL 54:968

redundat quod prava persuasio participes aut non invenit aut inventos amisit. Respiciat itaque, oramus, conservando apostolatum vestrum, misericors Dominus Ecclesiam suam toto orbe diffusam; vobis enim ita invigilantibus, et hi qui curam animae suae gerunt, sollicitiores in fide redduntur, et hi qui paulo desides sunt, tanto ad sollicitudinem accenduntur exemplo.

[…] it redounds that the perverse persuasion either has found no partakers or has lost those it found. May the merciful Lord therefore, we pray, look upon His Church spread through the whole world by preserving your Apostleship; for while you keep watch in this way, both those who take care of their souls are made more attentive in the faith, and those who are somewhat slothful are kindled to attentiveness by so great an example.

CAP. V. — Quod nos ante oculos semper habentes, non desinemus Domino ac Deo nostro gratias agere et pariter supplicare, gratulantes quod tantae sanctitatis, tantae fidei, tantaeque doctrinae apostolicae sedi, unde religionis nostrae, propitio Christo, fons et origo manavit, antistitem dederit; petentes etiam ut datum concessumque munus pontificii vestri, longissima ad aedificationem Ecclesiarum suarum aetate custodiat. Nos autem etsi impares meritis, pari tamen fide, si quid (quod absit) contra Ecclesiam catholicam profana infestatione tentetur, parati sumus, confortante Domino, cum beatitudine vestra pro veritate fidei animas nostras ponere, et vitam hanc auctori salutis nostrae et largitori aeternitatis impendere. Et alia manu: Ora pro me, domine merito beatissime, et apostolico honore venerande papa.

CHAP. V. — Keeping this always before our eyes, we shall not cease to give thanks to our Lord and God and likewise to entreat Him, rejoicing that He has given a bishop of such holiness, such faith and such doctrine to the apostolic see, from which, by Christ's favour, the fount and origin of our religion has flowed; asking also that He may keep the gift of your pontificate, given and granted, for the building up of His Churches to a very long age. And we, though unequal in merits, yet equal in faith, if anything (which God forbid) should be attempted against the catholic Church by profane assault, are ready, with the Lord's strengthening, to lay down our lives with your Beatitude for the truth of the faith, and to spend this life for the Author of our salvation and the Giver of eternity. And in another hand: Pray for me, lord deservedly most blessed, and pope to be venerated with apostolic honour.

RUSTICUS episcopus apostolatum vestrum in Domino venerans saluto, et ut digneris pro me orare. supplex rogo.

I, RUSTICUS, bishop, salute your Apostleship, venerating it in the Lord, and humbly ask that you deign to pray for me.

VENERIUS te dominum in Christo meum, reverendissime, saluto; et ut digneris pro me orare, supplex rogo.

I, VENERIUS, salute you, my lord in Christ, most reverend; and humbly ask that you deign to pray for me.

In antiquis editionibus et in codd. collect. 12, 21 et 24, tres priores subscriptiones tantummodo legebantur; in mss. autem collect. 11 sola prima Rustici subscriptio. Integrae inveniuntur in mss. collectionis 5, et primum editae fuerunt a Sirmondo ex cod. Nicolai Fabri, qui in Thuaneam bibliothecam transivit. Mirum est omitti subscriptionem Ravennii, qui tamen primus in titulo inscribitur. At ad Ravennium pertinere videntur illa, quae alia manu Rustici subscriptioni praemittuntur: Ora pro me, Domine. Harduinus vero hanc notationem subscriptionibus affixit: Subscriptiones integrae, ut sunt in mss. olim Thuaneo, nunc Colbertino, Ravennius episcopus Arelatensis, Venerius Narbonensis, Maximus Regiensis, etc. At Rusticus est Narbonensis, Venerius autem Massiliensis. Ante Maximum ponendus erat Constantianus. Praeterea nomina civitatum in editis non leguntur, licet hae subscriptiones a Sirmondo e codice olim Thuaneo sumptae fuerint. Ipsas ergo subscriptiones, ut in codice exprimebantur, Harduinus ea notatione non exhibuit. In codice quidem Vindebonensi collect. 5, quem Thuaneo plane similem deprehendimus, subscriptiones vulgatis similes sunt, nec Ravenni nomen ibidem legitur.

In the old editions and in the manuscripts of collections 12, 21 and 24, only the first three subscriptions used to be read; but in the manuscripts of collection 11 only the first, that of Rusticus. They are found complete in the manuscripts of collection 5, and were first published by Sirmond from the manuscript of Nicolas Le Fèvre, which passed into the library of de Thou. It is surprising that the subscription of Ravennius is omitted, who is nevertheless written first in the heading. But the words that are set before the subscription of Rusticus "in another hand" seem to belong to Ravennius: "Pray for me, lord." Hardouin, however, attached this notice to the subscriptions: "The subscriptions complete, as they are in the manuscripts formerly de Thou's, now Colbert's: Ravennius bishop of Arles, Venerius of Narbonne, Maximus of Riez", etc. But Rusticus is of Narbonne, and Venerius of Marseilles. Constantianus should have been placed before Maximus. Besides, the names of the cities are not read in the printed editions, although these subscriptions were taken by Sirmond from the manuscript formerly de Thou's. Hardouin therefore did not present, with that notice, the subscriptions themselves as they were written in the manuscript. In the Vienna manuscript of collection 5, indeed, which we have found to be plainly similar to de Thou's, the subscriptions are like those of the printed editions, and the name of Ravennius is not read there either.
