Description:
Works of St. Bonaventure Series, Volume VII
This ground-breaking English translation - the first translation into any modern language - of St. Bonaventure's 13th century work is an important text for historians of exegesis, theology and philosophy. Recent biblical study has seen an increased interest in learning how great theologians like Athanasius, Aquinas and Bonaventure read the Scriptures. This volume illustrates how Bonaventure was influenced by the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Review
Bonaventure's Commentary on Ecclesiastes may be over 750 years old, but it will still be somewhat new under the sun to most modern commentators. Since Bonaventure is commenting on the Vulgate, the editors helpfully provide an English translation of this in the Introduction....Bonaventure's commentary was both original and very influential in the Middle Ages; it deserves to be more familiar to us today. --Michael D. Guinan, OFM, Franciscan School of Theology
