Abstract
AN h Esc 60 is the last sermon of the so-called Vienna Collection, discovered by Leroy in the manuscript Wien, ÖNB, lat. 4147 (1435). Until recently, this collection was thought to be the catechesis of a Donatist preacher from the early 5th century. Thanks to the discovery of new manuscript witnesses, another recension of this sermon has been exhumed. Among the rewritten parts are several re-narrativizations of biblical passages. These re-narrativizations can be difficult to understand, even quite surprising: could this shed light on their suppression or rewriting at some point in the manuscript transmission?
