商品簡介
Scholars in the fields of history, theology, art history, and English, most of whom teach in the US (two are in Germany and France), have written the dozen articles that make up this volume on aspects of Biblical exegesis in the 8th and 9th centuries. The writings of the theologians Theodulf, Alcuin, Walfrid Strabo, and Haimo of Auxerre are considered, as are the somewhat earlier Theodore and Hadrian of Canterbury, whose thought was preserved in the glosses of John the Scot (Erigena). Other topics include the representation of Jews in commentaries on Paul, the use of the Bible in Pseudo-Isidorian forged decretals, and its use in early saints' lives.
