English summary: Written after the middle of the 2nd century CE by an educated Christian, Tatian's "Address to the Greeks" is a powerfully eloquent and all-encompassing attack against both Hellenic culture and Hellenic gods. It is thus an important precursor of the vehement spiritual conflicts of the 4th century CE between traditional Graeco-Roman paganism and Christianity. The volume presents an introduction into the author and his writings as well as into the "Address" itself, followed by the original Greek text (which has been subjected to a thorough revision with regard to earlier editions), a new German translation with a thorough annotation elucidating the numerous details of content to be found in the work, and after that by a number of essays putting the "Address" in its theological, religious and generally "ideological" context and shedding light on its subsequent reception. German description: Tatians nach der Mitte des 2. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. entstandene "Rede an die Griechen" ist die wortgewaltige und inhaltlich vehemente Attacke eines gebildeten Christen gegen die gesamte hellenische Kultur- und Gotterwelt; sie bildet damit bereits einen Vorlaufer der umwalzenden geistigen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen religios-paganen Traditionen und Christentum im 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Der Band bietet eine Einfuhrung in den Autor und sein Werk sowie in seine hier im Mittelpunkt stehende Schrift, danach den griechischen Originaltext (gegenuber fruheren Ausgaben grundlich revidiert) und eine neue deutsche Ubersetzung, eine grundliche Kommentierung der zahlreichen inhaltlichen Details, die die Schrift bietet, sowie - im zweiten Teil - eine Reihe von Essays, die die Schrift in ihren theologischen, religiosen und geistesgeschichtlichen Kontext stellen und auch ihre spatere Rezeption beleuchten.
