Publisher Description The Apocalypse or Book of Revelation is one of the most frequently discussed books of the biblical canon and arguably one of the most difficult to interpret. This volume contains three texts as examples of late ancient Christian interpretation of its intriguing visions. It also includes a comprehensive introduction to each text by its respective translator. Brief Explanations of the Apocalypse by Cassiodorus (c. 580), translated by Francis X. Gumerlock from Latin and published in English for the first time in this volume, served as an introduction to the Book of Revelation for Cassiodoruss students at the Vivarium, a monastery in southern Italy. Cassiodorus divided the Apocalypse into 33 sections, corresponding to the age of Jesus at his Passion, and expressed his belief that Johns visions were revelations of the end of the world, including the Second Coming of Christ for judgment, the defeat of the Antichrist, the general resurrection, and the arrival of the heavenly Kingdom. Testimonies of Gregory the Great on the Apocalypse, translated from Latin by Mark DelCogliano and also published here for the first time in English, is a collection of 55 excerpts on the Apocalypse from the writings of St. Gregory the Great (d. 604) compiled by an anonymous author. Drawn mainly from Gregorys Moralia, but also from his Book on Pastoral Care and homilies, the excerpts, which are arranged from Revelation 1.4 to 22.17, illustrate Gregorys grammatical exegesis of the Apocalypse, his interpretation of various figures in the Apocalypse, and his attempt to reconcile certain passages in the Apocalypse with seemingly contradictory texts from other parts of Scripture. The anonymous Greek Scholia on the Apocalypse contains 39 exegetical notes on chapters 1-14 of the Apocalypse, which reveal influences of Origen and Didymus the Blind, among others. The notes provide "spiritual" interpretations of the various passages and give attention to the interpretation of certain words that appear in the Book of Revelation. This new translation from the Greek by T. C. Schmidt utilizes all the Greek editions. Furthermore, its introductory matter contains updates on the Scholia from the latest scholarship and compares each scholion with interpretations found in various patristic authors, mainly of Alexandrian heritage. Author Biography Francis X. Gumerlock teaches Latin in the Archdiocese of Denver. He is author of twelve books, mainly translated texts from early and medieval Christianity, including, with David C. Robinson, a translation of the Exposition of the Apocalypse by Tyconius of Carthage, Fathers of the Church 134. Mark Delcogliano is Associate Professor of Theology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a translator of numerous patristic works including Gregory the Great on the Song of Songs (Cistercian Publications, 2012). With Andrew Radde-Gallwitz he translated Against Eunomius by Basil of Caesarea, Fathers of the Church 122. T.C. Schmidt is Assistant Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Fairfield University. He has published several books, including The Book of Revelation and its Eastern Commentators (Cambridge, 2021) and Revelation 1-3 in Christian Arabic Commentary (Fordham, 2019).
