Publisher Synopsis
Edited and translated by one of the most gifted and prolific historians of exegesis in the world today, this volume will be indispensable for studying the history of exegesis. Few fields are growing so rapidly in religious studies, and the need for English translations is pressing. Ian Levy here not only masterfully translates six important medieval authors at length. He also supplies a rich and detailed introduction that itself constitutes an important contribution to secondary literature on the reception of Paul's letter to the Galatians. . . . An ideal volume with which to introduce students to this burgeoning field. Kevin Madigan Harvard Divinity School Ian C. Levy has translated six medieval writings (commentaries and essays) dealing with Paul's letter to the Galatians. He thus brings these important writings to the attention of modern general readers and students of the Pauline letter. All who consult Levy's translations will profit from the reading. Joseph A. Fitzmyer, S.J. Catholic University of America This first volume of a series devoted to medieval commentaries on sacred scripture, with its capacious introduction and wide choice of translated texts, augurs well for the project as a whole. The medieval masters of what they themselves called the Sacred Page' brought both deep devotion and skill to their consideration of the Word of God. One only hopes that the subsequent volumes measure up to the high bar set here by Levy. Lawrence S. Cunningham University of Notre Dame Levy's volume offers outstanding access to medieval commentaries on one of Paul's most influential letters. Anyone interested in the history of exegesis will find here a treasure trove; moreover, no one invested in the new perspective on Paul, ' whether pro or con, can afford to neglect these medieval interpretations of the letter to the Galatians.
