The article shows the model of the perfect Christian depicted by the Bishop of Carthage, St. Cyprian. This model is particularly interesting since it was formed during the persecution, which had a major impact on shaping the image of the perfect Christian. This paper consists of three main parts: the first - St. bishop Cyprian of Carthage and his time – in which the circumstances of his pastoral work and his works are given, the other - Perfection for all - shows a model of perfection that St. Cyprian proposed to all believers, and in the third part, the martyrs - „a fruit a hundredfold” of perfection - are portrayed. To them Cyprian admitted the highest degree of Christian perfection. For bishop Cyprian the Christian-martyrs, who perfectly fulfilled God’s commandments in everyday life and in the most perfect way they united themself with Christ in the suffering and in the death, were primarily a perfect model of the Christians. And this model of perfect Christianmartyr for decades after Cyprian - till the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great - was the main model of a perfect Christian.

The article presents a short description of the text as a collection of biblical quotes focused on such topics as the Mosaic Law (Book I), Christology (Book II) and Christian virtues (Book III) and also comments on the version of the biblical text that Cyprian cites. A survey of comparative studies showed that the biblical text cited by Cyprian departs from the Hieronim Vulgate. Secondly, Cyprian's writing is an autonomous treatise independent of Adversus Iudaeos Tertullian, written at the request of Quirinius, who aimed to provide the addressee and other Christians in Carthage tools in the form of biblical passages to fight the growing Jewish proselytism. As for the historical context of its creation, the treaty is part of the middle of the third century. Previous good relations between Christians and Jews in North Africa, as evidenced by even Jewish necropolises with Christian graves or inscriptions with a cross and a menorah, are beginning to break due to the growing Jewish proselytism and the growth of the Christian community.

Artykuł przedstawia krótki opis dzieła jako zbioru tekstów biblijnych skupionych wokół tematów: Prawo Mojżeszowe (ksiega I), chrystologia (księga II) i cnoty chrześcijańskie (księga III) a także ocenę wersji tekstu biblijnego, który Cyprian cytuje. Sondażowe badanie porównawcze pokazało, że Cyprian używał innej wersji tekstu biblijnego niż ta, która później stała się częścią Wulgaty Hieronima. Po drugie, dzieło Cypriana jest samodzielnym traktatem, niezależnym od Adversus Iudaeos Tertuliana, napisanym na prośbę Kwiriniusza, który stawiał sobie za cel dostarczyć adresatowi i innym chrześcijanom kartagińskim narzędzia w postaci tekstów biblijnych użytecznych w polemice z wzrastajacym prozelityzmem żydowskim. Pismo dobrze wpisuje się w kontekst historyczny polowy III wieku, kiedy to wcześniejsze dobre relacje pomiędzy chrześcijanami a Żydami w Afryce Północnej, jak to potwierdzają groby chrześcijanskie odkryte w nekropoliach żydowskich albo inskypcje łączące krzyż i menorę, zaczynają się psuć z powodu na rosnący prozelityzm żydowski i jednocześnie wzrost wspólnoty chrześcijańskiej.

In the mid-third century, Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus, a wealthy and educated man, was elected bishop of Carthage in proconsular Africa. During the persecution ordered by Emperor Decius, the faith of many people was put to the test. Disciplinary and administrative divisions arose in the Christian community. St. Cyprian appealed to the old tradition cultivated not only in the Church of proconsular Africa, but also in other provinces of the universal Church, which was the convening of synods in order to solve together pastoral problems. During the time of sitting on the episcopal capital in Carthage, a total of 7 synods were convened, whose participants took their stand on the schism of Felicissimus and Novatian, and on the return to the church community of persons who were subject to the decree of Decius by making idolaters, the validity of baptism by heretics and baptism children. This study is an attempt to show the important role of synods in shaping the collegiality of bishops in proconsular Africa in the mid-third century in the context of concern for the unity of the Church.

W połowie III wieku biskupem Kartaginy w Afryce prokonsularnej został wybrany Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus, człowiek zamożny i wykształcony. W czasie prześladowań zarządzonych przez cesarza Decjusza wiara wielu osób została poddana ciężkiej próbie. We wspólnocie chrześcijan powstały podziały na tle dyscyplinarnym i administracyjnym. Św. Cyprian odwołał się do starej tradycji pielęgnowanej nie tylko w Kościele Afryki prokonsularnej, lecz także w innych prowincjach Kościoła powszechnego, którym było zwoływanie synodów w celu wspólnego rozwiązywania powstałych problemów duszpasterskich. W czasach zasiadania na stolicy biskupiej w Kartaginie w sumie zostało zwołanych 7 synodów, których uczestnicy zajęli swoje stanowisko wobec schizm Felicissimusa i Nowacjana oraz w sprawie powrotu do wspólnoty kościelnej osób, które uległy nakazom edyktu Decjusza dokonując ofiar bałwochwalczych, ważności chrztu udzielanego przez heretyków oraz chrztu dzieci. Niniejsze opracowanie jest próbą ukazania ważnej roli synodów kształtowaniu kolegialności biskupów w Afryce prokonsularnej w połowie III wieku w kontekście troski o jedność Kościoła. Lecz z drugiej strony ukazuje prawdę, że nie wszystkie uchwały synodów w Kartaginie współtworzyły doktrynę Kościoła.

Isidore of Seville’s treatise De ortu et obitu patrum is a remarkably intertextual work. The Holy Writ is its fundamental hypotext. While referring biblical Salvation history, Isidore demonstrates his acquaintance with the numerous writings of different authors. Tracing of the relations between selected chapters of the treatise (1. Adam; 26. Aaron; 41. Hosea; 45. Jonah; 59. The three young men [in the blazing furnace]) and their sources and models let us come to the conclusion that Isidore demonstrates his writer’s independence as well when composing the majority of particular relations (precisely those based on sources other than biblical vitae), as when creating the conception of the entire work, which can be regarded as a hybrid of exegesis and hagiography, and had not had a prototype in the earlier Christian literature.

Traktat Izydora pt. O narodzinach i śmierci świętych ojców jest wybitnie intertekstualnym utworem. Jego podstawowy hipotekst to Pismo Święte. Referując czytelnikowi biblijnedzieje zbawienia, Izydor z Sewilli zdradza znajomość licznych pism wielu chrześcijańskich autorów. Prześledzenie zależności między wybranymi rozdziałami opracowanego przez niego traktatu (1. Adam; 26. Aaron; 41. Ozeasz; 45. Jonasz; 59. trzej młodzieńcy [w piecu ognistym]) a jego źródłami i wzorcami pozwala stwierdzić, że jest on autorem oryginalnym, gdyż wykazuje się dużą samodzielnością zarówno w komponowaniu większości poszczególnych relacji (a dokładnie tych spisanych na podstawie źródeł innych niżbiblijne vitae), jak też przy opracowaniu koncepcji dzieła będącego hybrydą egzegezy i hagiografii oraz niemającego prototypów we wcześniejszym piśmiennictwie.

As Clemens Sedmak and Małgorzata Bogaczyk-Vormayr point out in their introduction to Patristik und Resilienz (Berlin 2012), human resilience must be understood as the ability to change oneself in response to a crisis, and not to return to a starting point (Einleitung, 3). After an introductory part on the different meanings and aspects of resilience, this paper discusses some texts by Cyprian of Carthage (De mortalitate, Ad Demetrianum, De bono patientiae, De dominica oratione) and Gregory of Nazianzus (Or. 26, Ep. 223, 30-36, 92) that may be of some interest for the current discussion on resilience. Indeed, starting from the same eschatological perspective, both authors seem to share a dynamic notion of resilience, which is not a mere endurance of the adversity, but the ability to transform a negative situation into an existential resource.

Come sottolineano Clemens Sedmak e Małgorzata Bogaczyk-Vormayr nella loro introduzione a Patristik und Resilienz (Berlin 2012), la resilienza umana deve essere intesa come la capacità di cambiare sé stessi in risposta a una crisi, non già di tornare a un punto di partenza (Einleitung, 3). Dopo una parte introduttiva sui diversi significati e aspetti della resilienza, questo articolo discute alcuni testi di Cipriano di Cartagine (De mortalitate, AdDemetrianum, De bono patientiae, De dominica oratione) e Gregorio di Nazianzo (Or. 26, Ep. 223, 30-36, 92) che possono essere di qualche interesse per l’attuale discussione sulla resilienza. Entrambi gli autori, infatti, partendo dalla medesima prospettiva escatologica, sembrano condividere una dinamica nozione di resilienza, che non è una mera sopportazione delle avversità, ma la capacità di trasformare una situazione negativa in unarisorsa esistenziale.

The recommendation of escape during the persecution, given by Jesus in Matth 10:23, impelled the ancient commentators to deeper reflection. Apart from the realities of the Christian life threatened by persecution, the views of the mon­tanists rejecting the possibility of escape provoked discussion on this issue. The author of the paper has presented the thought of the Greek and Latin Fathers on this mentioned words of Jesus. The patristic reflection on Matth 10:23 points out, first of all, the reasons for fair act of fleeing. The sources allow us to enumerate the following reasons for fleeing a persecution: 1) a formal obedience to the rec­ommendation of Jesus; 2) the decree of Divine Providence dictating and allowing escape; 3) the attitude of Christ who himself has taken similar opportunity; 4) a respect for human weaknesses that can make someone for various reasons indis­posed to martyrdom; 5) a prudence ordering flee in expectation of higher losses than profits incurred by the remaining at home; 6) the trust in God providing a nat­ural way of rescue, without „forcing” Him to the extraordinary help; 7) an urgent missionary and pastoral ministry to perform; 8) to avoid provoking persecutor to evil by own presence; 9) a specific witness of renunciation and sacrifice by leav­ing own home and possession; 10) the escape understood in the spiritual sense is a secession from the evil and sin. Several authors stand out in the extent and the depth of reflexion about it: Origen, Tertullian, Jerome and Augustine. The authors of 4th Century and the later could be influenced by Cyprian of Carthage. Accused by his opponents, especially novatians, he justifies theologically the escape and validates it by the later attitude: as a carefull shepherd and fearless martyr.
