Collatio
(323 words)
[German Version] The Latin term
collatio is used in a variety of senses such as “bringing together,” “gathering,” “bestowing” (thus in Corpus Iuris Canonici, canon 147, for ¶ the conferment of an office), “comparing” (e.g. of a copy with the original). Rhetorics and philosophy employ the term for an amplifying figure of thought that compares two things on account of their similarity until it arrives at a complete comparison on the basis on a metaphorical
tertium. In the context of church Latin, John Cassian's
Collationes patrum (425–429) played a formative role: it contains 24 e…

Losungen (Watchwords)
(605 words)
[German Version] The first
Losung was given orally on May 3, 1728, by N. v. Zinzendorf of the Moravian Church (Bohemian and Moravian Brethren: II) in the context of evening worship as a watchword for the next day. Every day from then on, the Brethren took the daily watchword given by Zinzendorf to the 32 houses of the Herrnhut community in Saxony, so that it could shape the community's common spiritual life. Zinzendorf chose a verse from the Bible or a line from a hymn. From this initial phase, a written fragment from the year 1729 has survived. The

Liturgical Reading
(436 words)
[German Version] During the worship (II, 4) services of apostolic times, it was customary to read from the Old Testament and to give oral accounts of the ministry of Jesus Christ, which were then replaced by readings from the Epistles (cf. Col 4:16). Acts of the martyrs were later also included. With the formation of the New Testament canon, these texts were also read out loud. It is assumed that the Scriptures were read in consecutive order, with the exception of the ermerging high feasts (Feasts…

Prone
(360 words)
[German Version] (from Fr.
prône, Lat.
praeconium), designates a preaching service that developed in the early Middle Ages, at a time when the mass (II) received its main emphasis through increasing piety focused on the sacrifice of the mass and thereby neglected the Word (Eucharist: II, 2). Charlemagne commended regular preaching (II;
Liber regulae pastoralis II, 4), but this was made difficult by the low standard of education of the priests. Nevertheless, there were magnificent preachers who preached in the vernacular and attracted the masses. The vernacular portion of the Latin mass followed the Gospel reading and consisted of sermon, catechism, and general church prayer. The mendicant orders made the sermon one of their fields of activity, and sent their monks out into the countryside, so that increasingly there was preaching outside the church and the mass, and from this an appropriate liturgical framework could develop. Special preaching locations were set up, and pulpits were built onto the outside of churches, or portable pulpits were used. Fixed orders of worship, like those for the mass, were not developed for the prone. Whereas worship reform began with the mass in the Lutheran branch of the Reformation, the Reformed branch rejected the mass and started with the…

Reason
(3,956 words)
[German Version]
I. Philosophy Traditional epistemology considers reason primarily to be a discursive faculty (Gk διάνοια/
diánoia; λόγος/¶
lógos; Lat.
ratio), in part to distinguish it from intellect as an intuitive faculty (Capacity). This distinction also implies a ranking: the discursive faculty either proceeds syllogistically as “demonstration” (ἀπόδειξις/
apódeixis) based on ultimate principles that cannot themselves be deduced by reasoning (Arist.
Eth. Nic. 1139b) or else leads to them, roughly in…

I. Liturgisch Am T. ist abzulesen, wie getauft wurde, Verzierungen weisen auf theol. Inhalte, der Formenwandel weist auf liturgische Bedeutungsänderungen hin. Wurde die urchristl. Taufe in einem fließenden Gewässer vermutlich durch Übergießen oder Untertauchen vollzogen, entstanden nachweislich seit ca. dem 3.Jh. Baptisterien, in die ein Becken eingelassen war, in das der Täufling zur Taufe hineinstieg. Seit dem 5./6.Jh. gab es T., die auf dem Boden standen und durch ein Ziborium …
