Commentary on the Psalms (the Great Gloss)

Peter Lombard

This book is in Latin.

The Master of the Sentences' running gloss on the whole Psalter, built from the Fathers (Jerome, Augustine, Cassiodorus, Remigius, Haymo and others) verse by verse, with the glossator's own prologue. The Latin is the Migne text (Patrologia Latina 191, 1854), after the Paris edition of 1541 with the Collationes of Richard of Le Mans; the sixteenth-century editors' prefaces and collations of the Psalter translations are kept. No English translation exists.

Contents

Source: The seven prefatory pieces (the 1541 editor Richard of Le Mans's dedicatory letter, prologue, notes on the authorship of the Psalms and on commentaries, Ad lectorem, and Lombard's Praefatio), then Psalms I-CL one file each, with the Psalm titles and verse lemmata in bold and Richard's Collationes of the translations kept as sections at the end of the psalms that have them. Page and column breaks dropped; Migne's inline source references stay in parentheses and the glossed authority sigla in brackets. Psalm CXVIII is divided by Hebrew letter. Italic lemmata are not marked. Machine-corrected OCR; residual slips possible.
