Summary note

"The Glossa ordinaria was the main exegetical instrument by which the Bible was taught and studied during the Middle Ages, a resource whose influence began in the early twelfth and remained perceptible in theological writing beyond the sixteenth century. This volume provides the first textual and historical analysis of the earliest written version of the glossed Ecclesiastes, revealing the ways in which the Book of Ecclesiastes became the fixed point at which fundamental figures and movements of patristic, medieval, and early modern teaching and learning converged."-- Provided by publisher.
