§ 135. Василий Великий в сочинениях: а) как духовный оратор.

The great shepherd of Caesarea is very versatile in his writings: he is a preacher, a dogmatic polemicist, an interpreter of Scripture, a teacher of morality and piety, and finally an organizer of church services. But like all the actions of St. Basil was distinguished by his extraordinary greatness and importance, and all his works are imprinted with the same character of Christian heights and greatness; this is their common and distinctive property, which belongs to them more than to the works of anyone else, even those close in spirit to the spirit of Vasily; the name of the Great is the proper name of Vasily. Patr. Photius, an excellent expert in oratorical style, writes about the words of St. Vasily: “In all his words, the Great Vasily is excellent. If anyone is different, he especially speaks pure, elegant, majestic language; - in the order and strength of thoughts he takes first place; he combines persuasiveness with pleasantness and clarity. His speech is as smooth as a stream freely emerging from its source. Whoever wants to be an excellent civil speaker: he does not need either Demosthenes or Plato if he has taken the words of Basil as his model and studies them.” Photius also notes that the letters of St. Vasily may be an example of the written syllable 490. From St.'s own words. Vasily, it is clear that during his fast every day he said at least one word, and sometimes two 491. Nowadays, 25 conversations of Basil on various subjects are known, and between them several words of praise to the saints of God 492. Conversations: against moneylenders, against drunkenness and luxury, about famine - in terms of strength and animation, they are considered the best among all of Vasily’s conversations. Many of the letters of St. Vasily's books vividly describe the events of his time. Many - with excellent instructions about love, about meekness, about forgiveness of insults, about raising children, against the stinginess and pride of the rich, against a vain oath 493; or with spiritual advice for monks 494. Editions: Op. S. Basilii gr. et lat. 1618. Paris, studio Frontonis Ducaei et Morellii; this is ed. rebake 1738 and worse. Best: graec. et lat.
