The focus of this volume is a detailed commentary on theDialogue of Adamantius, Books I and II, an important anti-Marcionite text from the 4th century. Since the GCS edition (Bakhuyzen, 1901) is long known to be deficient, this study is based on a new critical reading of the manuscript (codex Venetus gr. 496). The extensive introduction is devoted to the entire work, including, among others, text, source and historical background.
