The Commentaries translated here, dating from the sixth century,
show the persisting survival of Greek learning in an increasingly
Christianised world. The work takes the form of a series of
explanations and glosses of classical references in Gregory's
original Sermons. Although the author uses an elementary technique
of the schools to structure his text, which has little in the way
of eloquence or literary art, there is a striking
single-mindededness and confidence in his explanations. Some of the
information given is inaccurate, and the author is not averse to
rewriting texts that he cannot explain. Nonetheless, the work
displays a lively interest in Greek learning, and presents a
fascinating insight into the attitude of one particular Christian
to its continuing validity.
