This book brings together sixteen studies by internationally
renowned scholars on the origins and early development of the Latin
and Syriac biblical and philosophical commentary traditions. It
casts light on the work of the founder of philosophical biblical
commentary, Origen of Alexandria, and traces the developments of
fourth- and fifth-century Latin commentary techniques in writers
such as Marius Victorinus, Jerome and Boethius. The focus then
moves east, to the beginnings of Syriac philosophical commentary
and its relationship to theology in the works of Sergius of
Reshaina, Probus and Paul the Persian, and the influence of this
continuing tradition in the East up to the Arabic writings of
al-Farabi. There are also chapters on the practice of teaching
Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy in fifth-century Alexandria,
on contemporaneous developments among Byzantine thinkers, and on
the connections in Latin and Syriac traditions between translation
(from Greek) and commentary. With its enormous breadth and the
groundbreaking originality of its contributions, this volume is an
indispensable resource not only for specialists, but also for all
students and scholars interested in late-antique intellectual
history, especially the practice of teaching and studying
philosophy, the philosophical exegesis of the Bible, and the role
of commentary in the post-Hellenistic world as far as the classical
renaissance in Islam.
