Source Texts for our edition (for complete bibliographical indications see Bibliography):
Version A of Gregory Palamas’ Third Letter to Gregory Akindynos is based on Nadal 1974, “La rédaction première, pp. 250-257 (with a French translation).
Version B is based on Gregorius Palamas, ‘Γ´ ΠΡΟΣ ΑΚΙΝΔΥΝΟΝ’, ed. J. Meyendorff, in: Syngrammata, vol. 1 (1962), pp. 296-312. For a French translation of this letter version see Nadal 1974, “La rédaction première”, pp. 262-279, for an Italian translation Perrella 2003, Gregorio Palamas, pp. 575-605.
The terms Version A and Version B are adopted from the above-mentioned article by Nadal, the ‘discoverer’ and first publisher of Version A. Deviating from the existing editions and against them, our synoptic edition includes a moderately revised punctuation and presents both source texts in a form occasionally corrected on the basis of their manuscript transmission.
