Commentaries on the Pauline Epistles

Ambrosiaster

What it is

A complete Latin commentary on thirteen letters of Paul by an anonymous Roman writer, plain, historically minded, and free of allegory.

Why it lasted

Attributed to Ambrose for a thousand years, and the reason Erasmus coined a name for a writer nobody can identify.

Scripture it works from

Where to read it

This work is in the public domain and can be read in full, free, at the archives below. The Library catalogues it; it does not host the text.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
