Domnule Suciu, Din cat am inteles, ati facut o traducere a textului hrisostomic la Evanghelia dupa Ioan. Avti si textul in limba romana?
Ma intereseaza in mod direct orice text hrisostomic in limba romana, deoarece realizez monografia operei sfantului. Informatia dvs, este foarte imporatnta pentru mine, iar raspunsul la aceasta intrebare va constitui inserarea lui in teza mea.
Astept un raspuns.
Cu multumiri, drd. Ana Bobu
Imi pare rau, nu am tradus textul in limba romana.
