Summary
The following volume presents the first part (Rom.-I Cor.) of Bede’s Augustinian commentary on the Pauline Epistles (Collectio ex opusculis sancti Augustini in epistulas Pauli apostoli), which is here edited for the first time. Consisting of more than 450 excerpts from around forty different writings of Augustine, the Collectio is a key-text in the transmission and reception of Augustine’s works and thinking in the Early Middle Ages. The florilegium provides a unique insight into Bede’s views on Augustine’s oeuvre, his compilation methods, and the contents of his Augustinian library. During the Carolingian period the Collectio exercised considerable influence on various Pauline commentators, including Florus of Lyon, Hrabanus Maurus, and Sedulius Scottus.
The present edition is preceded by an extensive presentation of the Collectio’s form and structure, contents, sources, (in)direct transmission, and reception.
