Abstract
This contribution presents a case study that, on the basis of some occurrences of the adverb simul in Augustine’s De Genesi ad litteram, allows us to illustrate the classification system we adopt to map the intertextual relationships between known Greek and Latin versions of the Bible and some patristic texts. This taxonomy has been set up within the framework of two research projects, joint together within European research infrastructure for Religious Studies “Resilience-RI”. After a methodological introduction based on the state of the art, the workflow will be explained and finally the concrete example of the adverb simul will be shown focusing on the use of some passages from Genesis 1 and Sirach 18:1 in Augustine’s commentary.
