خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Jerome’s Commentaries on the Pauline Epistles and the Architecture of Exegetical Authority

In  the late fourth and early fifth centuries, during a fifty-year stretch  sometimes dubbed a Pauline “renaissance” of the western church, six  different authors produced over four dozen commentaries in Latin on  Paul’s epistles. Among them was Jerome, who commented on four epistles  (Galatians, Ephesians, Titus, Philemon) in 386 after recently having  relocated to Bethlehem from Rome. His commentaries occupy a time-honored  place in the centuries-long tradition of Latin-language commenting on  Paul’s writings. They also constitute his first foray into the  systematic exposition of whole biblical books (and his only experiment  with Pauline interpretation on this scale), and so they provide precious  insight into his intellectual development at a critical stage of his  early career before he would go on to become the most prolific biblical  scholar of Late Antiquity. This monograph provides the first book-length  treatment of Jerome’s opus Paulinum in any language. Adopting a  cross-disciplinary approach, Cain comprehensively analyzes the  commentaries’ most salient aspects-from the inner workings of Jerome’s  philological method and engagement with his Greek exegetical sources, to  his recruitment of Paul as an anachronistic surrogate for his own  theological and ascetic special interests. One of the over-arching  concerns of this book is to explore and to answer, from multiple vantage  points, a question that was absolutely fundamental to Jerome in his  fourth-century context: what are the sophisticated mechanisms by which  he legitimized himself as a Pauline commentator, not only on his own  terms but also vis-à-vis contemporary western commentators?
