The Benedictine Prologue
A Contribution to the Early History of the Latin Prologues to the Pauline Epistles
Seiten
Jahrhundertelang dienten die biblischen Prologe als Zugang zu den Themen und Problemen der lateinischen Bibel. Die vorliegende Studie des übersehenen benediktinischen Prologs beleuchtet textliche Einflüsse, intellektuellen Austausch und lehrmäßige Auseinandersetzungen, wie sie sich zur Zeit des Erscheinens der Vulgata entfalteten.
For centuries, biblical prologues introduced readers to the themes and problems of the Latin Bible. Paul's profile has undoubtedly been shaped by this genre: Paul the new Moses, Paul the theologian, Paul the arbitrator between Jews and gentiles. Despite fine critical editions, the texts and historical situations of these prologues still lack scholarly attention. The present monograph examines one such introduction known as the Benedictine Prologue, acknowledged for its relationship to the Muratorian Fragment but excluded from all indices of biblical paratexts. Prompted by a new manuscript discovery, Jeremy C. Thompson and Clare K. Rothschild treat the prologue in its own right with a new edition and commentary covering all known sources and analogues. Ultimately, they propose to ground this rare text in the book practices, theological polemics, and intellectual exchange between Greek and Latin writers of the early fifth century and beyond.
