Valentinus and His Teaching in the Light of Modern Research and Ancient Christian Heresiology -- The first part of this paper contains a summary of the life and teachings of Valentinus written by Bernadett Szűcs, in which the author sketches the most important aspects of this complex topic based on the early Christian primary sources harmonized with the state of the modern research. As an appendix to this introduction, the second part of this paper, written by György Papp contains the first Hungarian translation (accompanied by the original Greek text from the recently published critical edition) of one of the primary sources with a short introduction, to the text: the chapter about Valentinus in the Haereticarum fabularum compendium of Theodoret of Cyrus.

Jankélévitch embere a megtévesztésig hasonlít a Pascaléhoz: ugyanaz a létbe vetett lény, aki reszketve fülel a végtelen terek iszonyatos csöndjére, aki nem keres magának kívülálló kilátótornyot, ahonnan aztán elégedetten szemlélhetné, mint gróf a birtokát, a világot. Ez az ember sohasem fog Leibniz módjára grandiózus szinopszisokból ilyen magaslatot fabrikálni magának. Ellenkezőleg.
