The Medieval Church · c. 758–767

Commentary on the Apocalypse

Ambrosius Autpertus · c. 730–784

What it is

Ten books reading Revelation as the present life of the church rather than a forecast, with long passages on the interior conflict of the soul.

Why it lasted

The most substantial Latin theology of the eighth century, and a bridge between Gregory the Great and the Carolingian schools.

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.
