IN THIS IMPORTANT NEW WORK, Kevin Madigan studies the development
and union of scholastic, apocalyptic, and Franciscan
interpretations of the Gospel of Matthew from 1150 to 1350. These
interpretations are placed within the context of high-medieval
religious life and attitudes of the papacy toward the Franciscan
Order. Madigan uses the fortunes of the Franciscan Peter Olivi (d.
1298) and his commentary on Matthew as a lens through which to
observe the larger theological and ecclesiastical developments of
this era. Structured in three sections, Olivi and the
Interpretation of Matthew in the High Middle Ages begins with an
analysis of the scholastic gospel commentary tradition in the
schools of Laon and Paris. The second section of the book offers a
detailed examination of the Treatise on the Four Gospels by the
famed apocalyptic writer Joachim of Fiore. Finally, Madigan turns
his attention to the disputes which plagued the Franciscan Order
during the first century of its existence. Madigan also focuses on
Olivi's Commentary on Matthew. He argues that this little-known
work is perhaps the only Matthew commentary in the high Middle Ages
to have been influenced by Joachim's apocalyptic thought and shaped
by internal and external disagreements over the highest form of
religious life. Filled with severe criticisms of the hierarchy and
leadership of the church, Olivi's Matthew commentary was examined
and eventually condemned by papally appointed theologians in the
early fourteenth century. Olivi and the Interpretation of Matthew
in the High Middle Ages is not only a worthy contribution to the
study of gospel exegesis, but also a valuable cultural and
ecclesiastical history.
