medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Somehow, later exchanges with Chana went off line. In a second email to her, I suggested she look at the relevant volume (#2) of the New Cambridge History of the Bible, and relevant bibliography. Franz's article on glossed bibles is very comprehensive, to mention just one.

Stegmueller does not have an index by Bible book, but perhaps the on-line version is easier to search for that. By my own count, Stegmueller lists some 30 various commentaries on Samuel and Kings. If you want a quick idea of what was "standard" exegesis, the Glossa ordinaria should be your first resource. (Facsimile by Brepols, 1992, but various early modern editions available that can be found on Google Books. Do not use the Migne PL edition because it is incomplete). If you want the longer list, I can send you that, but that might leave you a bit overwhelmed. My advice: educate yourself on medieval exegesis before you embark on this project. Read a good introduction to the medieval Bible. Within your own university, there is a department of history. Go and ask the medievalist there (Prof. Yitzhak Hen) and ask for advice. He will direct you towards the right sources and resources.

It lists most medieval commentaries on the books of the bible, has indexes, lists manuscripts (not complete), and editions. Plus, most usefully, he gives opening and closing words, not just in a few phrases, but in full sentences, which makes it much easier to identify. The Repertorium is available online via the University of Regensburg (www.repbib.uni-trier.de/ <http://www.repbib.uni-trier.de/> ). Useful, even though it is my understanding that it isnot being expanded. There is also Baruch and Lemaire's Book of Kings: Sources, Composition, Historiography and Reception, Vetus Testamentum Supplementa, 129 (Leiden: Brill, 2010), and particularly Part VI (Reception in Judaism and Christianity). [I haven't looked at this book). Bill Schipper From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Chana Shacham-Rosby Sent: June 13, 2017 7:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: [M-R] biblical commentary of the high middle ages medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I would greatly appreciate some help finding commentaries on the Bible that were compiled and/or popular during the high middle ages in Western Europe. The focus of my research is Elijah the Prophet and I want to see what was written about him on the basis of his activity in Kings and his connection to John the Baptist. So far in me research, I have found two kinds of discussions. The first is the biblical commentary of the church fathers, and the second is the modern biblical scholarship focusing on the first centuries AD. These materials have been very helpful, but not enough to understand how Elijah was viewed in 12-15th century western Europe. Can anyone point me to a so-called "golden standard" of medieval biblical commentary? A compilation of exegesis that would have been familiar to the widest circles of the population (to varying degrees, of course)?
