Description

Benedictine Exegesis in the Middle Ages is a topic usually discussed in broad strokes. These papers on Aelfric, the Italian Homiliary, Rupert of Deutz, Gregory of Narek, and John Ludgate, take soundings in specific texts of representative Benedictine authors, to examine their exegetical techniques, emphases and aims.
