The patristic commentary tradition on Matthew begins with Origens pioneering twenty-five-volume commentary on the First Gospel in the mid-third century. Inthe Latin-speaking West  where commentaries did not appear until about a century later  the first commentary on Matthew was written by Hilary of Poitiers in the mid-fourth century. From that point the First Gospel became one of the texts mostfrequently commented on in patristic exegesis. Outstanding examples are Jeromes four-volume commentary and the valuable but anonymous and incomplete Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum. Then there are the Greek catena fragments derived from commentaries by Theodore of Heraclea  Apollinaris of Laodicea  Theodore of Mopsuestia and Cyril of Alexandria. The ancient homilies also provide ample comment  including John Chrysostoms ninety homilies and Chromatius of Aquileias fifty-nine homilies on the Gospel of Matthew. In addition  there are various Sunday and feast-day homilies from towering figures such as Augustine and Gregory the Great  as well as other fathers. This rich abundance of patristic comment  much of it presented here in English translation for the first time by editor Manlio Simonetti  provides a bountiful and varied feast of ancient interpretation of the First Gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665798029365,"sku":"ByrdShop_0830814698","price":55.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780830814695.jpg?v=1782407707","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/matthew-1428-volume-1b-volume-1-ancient-christian-commentary-on-scripture-9780830814695","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
