Description: Quid Gloriaris Militia (Denis the Carthusian's Commentary on the Psalms) by Denis The Carthusian, Andrew M. Greenwell QUI GLORIARIS IN MALITIA, the third of six anticipated volumes translating Denis the Carthusians (1402-1471) entire Commentary on the Psalms, contains Deniss lively commentary of Psalms 51 through 75. By interpreting the Psalms with a robust Christocentric point of view, and by combining with it the revelation of the one Christ who has spoken through the prophets and who is revealed in the Gospels, Denis often gives us new insight into the mind of Christ. Though never neglecting the literal or historical underlay of the Psalms, Denis teases out for the reader the allegorical, tropological, and anagogical senses of the Psalms, thus providing great spiritual fodder for reflection, meditation, and contemplation of God, sublime and blessed. For Denis, both praying and living the Psalms is a central staple of the Christian conversatio or manner of life; therefore, he constantly insists that the inner heart of man must align itself with the spoken word. The translated Commentary is supplemented by Deniss own copious references to Scripture, but it also includes extensive footnotes that guide a reader who might be unfamiliar with historical, cosmological, biblical, theological, doctrinal, or moral issues raised by Denis in his Commentary. Not long ago, a common refrain among academics was, "He who read Denis, leaves nothing unread." It might also be said that he who does not read Deniss Commentary on the Psalms leaves the Psalms unread. This first-ever English translation of Deniss Commentary on the Psalms makes the riches of his thought, long-too long-neglected, available to a wider audience. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Review Volume Three of Andrew Greenwells English translation of Denis the Carthusians Commentary on the Psalms is a remarkable achievement, offering wide access to a text of great importance. Denis erudition, insight and originality, as well as his refined ability to keep various interlocutors in view are robustly displayed. Readers will find his attention to the relationship between the letter of history and the spiritual senses particularly engaging. The wealth of helpful notes in this edition will help us all gain a deeper appreciation for the workings of one of the late medieval worlds most respected voices. A translator has to share something of the spirit of the original author, and this translation is the work of one who certainly does. - Most Rev. Daniel E. Flores, Bishop of Brownsville, TX In this impeccably well-done translation from Latin of the beautiful commentary on Psalms 51-75 of Denis the Carthusian, Andrew Greenwell has demonstrated that he is precisely the kind of layman Pope St. John Paul II called for in his 1988 post-synodal apostolic exhortation to the lay faithful. He is in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and totally given over to the service of His Mystical Body, the Church. I highly recommend this beautiful work. I am deeply grateful to Andrew for offering it to all of us as a resource. - Deacon Keith Fournier, J.D., M.T.S., M.Phil., Dean of Catholic Identity Director of Deacon Formation General Counsel Catholic, Diocese of Tyler, TexasGreenwells welcome translation of Denis the Carthusians first major work is a gift to those who seek primarily to understand the Psalms in the context of revelation and faith above the narrower priorities of modern academia. Denis richly Christological exposition of each psalm, applying the four senses of scripture, is witness to Carthusian life faithfully and fruitfully lived. - Fr. Hugh Somerville Knapman, OSB, Monk of Douai; author of Ecumenism of Blood: Heavenly Hope for Earthly CommunionWe can find no better prayers than the ones God Himself has given us. The Psalms are the heart of Holy Scripture, the summary of all its treasures, the daily bread of Christs faithful. The mysteries contained in the Psalms are simple, and yet so sublime, that we need a guide to open up the Scriptures to us. Denis the Carthusian, a fine connoisseur of the Psalms, is an exemplary guide. This English translation is a remarkable accomplishment, for which we are all indebted to Andrew Greenwell. - Dom Pius Mary Noonan, OSB, Notre Dame Priory, TasmaniaNow here is a treasure that those who take their lectio divina seriously appreciate beyond telling: Denis the Carthusians commentary on the Psalms-no less! - Abbot Philip Anderson, OSB, Clear Creek AbbeyThis Commentary is an important aid in studying, indeed in praying, the psalms -which form so much of the very fibre of the Sacred Liturgy- according to the medieval mind. The translator and publisher are to be congratulated for making available this jewel of our tradition in the English language and in such an elegant edition.If lectio divina is nothing other than listening to the voice of God through the words of His friends, amongst whom Denis the Carthusian must surely be counted, this fruit of the lifetime of faith, seeking and understanding of the Doctor ecstaticus is a most beautiful gift for those who would hear His voice speaking through the psalms today. - Dom Alcuin Reid, Prior, Monastère Saint-Benoît, Brignoles, France Review Quote Volume Three of Andrew Greenwells English translation of Denis the Carthusians Commentary on the Psalms is a remarkable achievement, offering wide access to a text of great importance.
