The article picks up the issue of the identification of the few pages entitled De ratione fidei, published by Engelbrecht to conclude the edition of the work by Faustus (CSEL 21), with the parvus libellus cited by Genadius (after the De spiritu sancto and the De gratia), in the list of writings of the Gallic bishop which Genadius handed down and are therefore attributed to Faustus. Textual comparison with the rest of the bishop’s works leads to the conclusion that these works are most likely to be by Faustus, as they clearly demonstrate an affinity with his thought and also with the layout and articulation of the arguments.
L’articolo riprende la questione dell’identificazione delle poche pagine intitolate De ratione fidei, pubblicate da Engelbrecht a completamento dell’edizione dell’opera di Fausto (CSEL 21), con il parvus libellus citato da Gennadio (dopo il De spiritu sancto e il De gratia), nell’elenco degli scritti del vescovo gallico da lui trasmesso, e quindi della sua attribuzione a Fausto. Il confronto testuale con la restante produzione del vescovo conduce alla conclusione che siano alte le probabilità della paternità faustiana di questa operetta, oltre che per l’affinità con il suo pensiero, per la struttura e l’articolazione degli argomenti.

Abstract
The article picks up the issue of the identification of the few pages entitled De ratione fidei, published by Engelbrecht to conclude the edition of the work by Faustus (CSEL 21), with the parvus libellus cited by Genadius (after the De spiritu sancto and the De gratia), in the list of writings of the Gallic bishop which Genadius handed down and are therefore attributed to Faustus. Textual comparison with the rest of the bishop’s works leads to the conclusion that these works are most likely to be by Faustus, as they clearly demonstrate an affinity with his thought and also with the layout and articulation of the arguments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
