Karl Holl's edition of the anti-heretical text by the late
Classical Bishop Epiphanius of Salamis (Cyprus) is a classic among
the editions of Greek Christian writers from classical antiquity.
The work itself, which the author published under the eloquent
title of 'Medicine Chest against Heresies', contains a large number
of original texts, not preserved elsewhere, produced by various
Christian groups which were rejected as heretical by the majority
of the Church. With great zeal, Epiphanius described above all the
teachings and lives of gnostic groups, but he also turned his
attention to other movements, for example the Monists. In his
edition, the Berlin-based ecclesiastical historian Karl Holl
attempted to produce a legible and grammatically correct text from
the difficult manuscript sources; in the critical apparatus, he
provided a rich factual commentary. Even though critics were
annoyed by his frequent interference with the source texts, still
the latest major English translation uses Holl's text. Two volumes
appeared during Holl's lifetime (in 1915 and 1922). After his death
in 1926, Hans Lietzmann published a third volume in 1933. In 2006,
a fourth volume, containing a detailed index, was published. While
the 2nd and 3rd volumes have been available since 1980 and 1985
respectively as a corrected reprint with addenda by Jurgen Dummer,
the first volume, with important information on Jewish sects and
the Gnostics, has long been out of print. It is now also available
again in a corrected version.
