The Gospel of Matthew stands out as a favorite biblical text among
patristic commentators. The patristic commentary tradition on
Matthew begins with Origen's pioneering twenty-five-volume
commentary on the First Gospel in the mid-third century. In the
Latin-speaking West, where commentaries did not appear until about
a century later, the first commentary on Matthew was written by
Hilary of Poitiers in the mid-fourth century. From that point the
First Gospel became one of the texts most frequently commented on
in patristic exegesis. Outstanding examples are Jerome's
four-volume commentary and the valuable but anonymous and
incomplete Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum. Then there are the Greek
catena fragments derived from commentaries by Theodore of Heraclea,
Apollinaris of Laodicea, Theodore of Mopsuestia and Cyril of
Alexandria. The ancient homilies also provide ample comment,
including John Chrysostom's ninety homilies and Chromatius of
Aquileia's fifty-nine homilies on the Gospel of Matthew. In
addition, there are various Sunday and feast-day homilies from
towering figures such as Augustine and Gregory the Great, as well
as other fathers. This rich abundance of patristic comment, much of
it presented here in English translation for the first time by
editor Manlio Simonetti, provides a bountiful and varied feast of
ancient interpretation of the First Gospel.
