Panarion In early Christian heresiology, the Panarion (Greek: Πανάριον, derived from Latin, "panarium", meaning "bread basket"), to which 16th-century Latin translations gave the name "Adversus Haereses" (Latin: "Against Heresies"), is the most important of the works of Epiphanius of Salamis (d. 403). It was written in Koine Greek beginning in 374 or 375, and issued about three years later, as a treatise on heresies, with its title referring to the text as a "stock of remedies to offset the poisons of heresy." It treats 80 religious sects, either organized groups or philosophies, from the time of Adam to the latter part of the 4th century, detailing their histories, and rebutting their beliefs. The "Panarion" is an important source of information on the Jewish Gospels, the Gospel of the Ebionites, and the Gospel of the Hebrews.
Panarion The "Panarion" furnishes very valuable information concerning the religious history of the fourth century, either because the author confines himself to transcribing documents preserved by him alone, or because he writes down his personal observations. With regard to Hieracas ("Haer.", lxvii), he makes known a curious Egyptian sect by whom asceticism and intellectual work were equally esteemed. In connection with the Meletians of Egypt ("Haer.", lxviii), he has preserved important fragments of contemporary Egyptian history of this movement. With regard to Arianism ("Haer.", lxix), if he gives an apocryphal letter of Constantine, he transcribes two letters of Arius. He is the only one to give us any information concerning the Gothic sect of the Audians ("Haer.", lxx), as well as the Arabian sect of the Collyridians. He has made use of the lost report of the discussion between Photinus ("Haer.", lxxi), and Basil of Ancyra. He has transcribed a very important letter from Bishop Marcellus of Ancyra ("Haer.", lxxii) to Pope Julius, and fragments of the treatise of Acacius of Caesarea against Marcellus. With regard to the Semiarians ("Haer.", lxxiii), he gives in the Acts of the Council of Ancyra (358) a letter from Basil of Ancyra and one from George of Laodicea, and the stenographic text of a singular sermon of Melitius at the time of his installation at Antioch. In the chapter dealing with the Anomeans ("Haer.", lxxvi) he has preserved a monograph of Aetius.
Panarion The treatise begins with two proems: a table of contents, and a description of Epiphanius's methods and purpose in writing. The work is divided into three books, with a total of seven volumes. It ends with what has since been called "De Fide", a short description of Catholicism.
Panarion Epiphanius interpreted the fourscore (80) concubines as sects, who take the name of Christ without being truly matrimonial; the threescore queens as the generations from Adam to Jesus; the one dove as the true wife, the church; and the numberless virgins as all the philosophies unrelated to Christianity.
Panarion The original text was written in Koine Greek. Three Latin versions were published in the 16th and 17th centuries, from writers focused on ecclesiastical interests. Since then, writers have been interested in the historical content of the text itself.
