The study examines the formal shape of the prefaces of Greek biblical commentaries in Late Antiquity and their theology of commenting. It offers an interesting insight into the theological identity of the commentators as well as into the cultural transfer on which their work is based.

The study examines the prefaces of the Greek biblical commentaries in Late Antiquity. It analyzes their formal position in the traditions of commenting and the theological interests of the Christian commentators. Special attention is paid both to re-examining the widespread opinion that these prefaces are dependent on the 'schemata isagogica' of the pagan schools of philosophy, and to the presentation of the theological identity of biblical commentators.
The three main chapters analyze the traditions of non-Christian proems, the commentaries of Origen and those of the exponents of Alexandrian and Antiochene exegesis.
The book provides interesting new insights into the formal aspects, motivation, relevance and hermeneutics of the commentaries as well as into the cultural transfer on which they are based.

Matthias Skeb, Doctorate in Catholic Theology (1996) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany), postdoctoral qualification ('Habilitation') (2003), is teaching (since 2004) 'Ancient Church History and Patristics' at Rome. His research work focuses on monasticism, cultural transfer and history of Christian exegesis in Late Antiquity.
