The Exposition of the Apocalypse by Tyconius of Carthage (fl. 380)
was pivotal in the history of interpretation of the Book of
Revelation. While expositors of the second and third centuries
viewed the Apocalypse of John, or Book of Revelation, as mainly
about the time of Antichrist and the end of the world, in the late
fourth century Tyconius interpreted John's visions as figurative of
the struggles facing the Church throughout the entire period
between the Incarnation and the Second Coming of Christ. Tyconius's
"ecclesiastical" reading of the Apocalypse was highly regarded by
early medieval commentators like Caesarius of Arles, Primasius of
Hadrumetum, Bede, and Beatus of Liebana, who often quoted from
Tyconius's Exposition in their own Apocalypse commentaries.
Unfortunately no complete manuscript of the Exposition by Tyconius
has survived. A number of recent scholars, however, believed that a
large portion of his Exposition could be reconstructed from
citations of it in the aforementioned early medieval writers; and
this task was undertaken by Monsignor Roger Gryson. Gryson's
edition, a reconstruction of the Expositio Apocalypseos of
Tyconius, was published in 2011 in Corpus Christianorum Series
Latina. The present translation of that reconstructed text, with
introduction and notes, exhibits Tyconius's unique non-apocalyptic
approach to the Book of Revelation. It also shows that throughout
the Exposition Tyconius made use of interpretive rules that he had
laid out in an earlier work on hermeneutics, the Book of Rules,
strongly suggesting that Tyconius wrote his Exposition as a
companion to his Book of Rules. Thus, the Exposition served as an
exemplar of how those rules would apply to interpretation of even
the most intriguing of biblical texts, the Apocalypse.
