| Summary: | Research on the relationship between John Calvin and John Chrysostom has been based on Calvin’s alleged use of the 1536 Chevallon edition of Chrysostom’s Opera Omnia throughout his literary career. This article questions the evidence for Calvin’s intensive use of the Chevallon edition by discussing the opinions that underlie Alexandre Ganoczy and Klaus Müller’s interpretation of the marked sections and their influence on scholars after them. It argues that at best Calvin used the copy in question as one among others only during his last Genevan period. This challenges future research on the relationship between Calvin and Chrysostom not to focus on one edition that Calvin always used to read, but to establish which particular Chrysostom edition or editions Calvin used for each particular work he wrote. |
