This volume contains three texts as examples of late ancient Christian interpretation of its intriguing visions. It also includes a comprehensive introduction to each text by its respective translator. Brief Explanations of the Apocalypse by Cassiodorus (c. 580), translated by Francis X. Gumerlock from Latin and published in English for the first time in this volume, served as an introduction to the Book of Revelation for Cassiodorus's students at the Vivarium, a monastery in southern Italy. Cassiodorus divided the Apocalypse into 33 sections, corresponding to the age of Jesus at his Passion, and expressed his belief that John's visions were revelations of the end of the world, including the Second Coming of Christ for judgment, the defeat of the Antichrist, the general resurrection, and the arrival of the heavenly Kingdom. Testimonies of Gregory the Great on the Apocalypse, translated from Latin by Mark DelCogliano and also published here for the first time in English, is a collection of 55 excerpts on the Apocalypse from the writings of St. Gregory the Great (d. 604) compiled by an anonymous author. Drawn mainly from Gregory's Moralia, but also from his Book on Pastoral Care and homilies, the excerpts, which are arranged from Revelation 1.4 to 22.17, illustrate Gregory's grammatical exegesis of the Apocalypse, his interpretation of various figures in the Apocalypse, and his attempt to reconcile certain passages in the Apocalypse with seemingly contradictory texts from other parts of Scripture. The anonymous Greek Scholia on the Apocalypse contains 39 exegetical notes on chapters 1-14 of the Apocalypse, which reveal influences of Origen and Didymus the Blind, among others. The notes provide \"spiritual\" interpretations of the various passages and give attention to the interpretation of certain words that appear in the Book of Revelation. This new translation from the Greek by T. C. Schmidt utilizes all the Greek editions. Furthermore, its introductory matter contains updates on the Scholia from the latest scholarship and compares each scholion with interpretations found in various patristic authors, mainly of Alexandrian heritage.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742144569617,"sku":"NGR9780813234915","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813234913.jpg?v=1757415515"},{"product_id":"pseudo-cyril-of-alexandria-book-francis-x-gumerlock-9781736865163","title":"Pseudo-Cyril of Alexandria","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51049148514577,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51049151660305,"sku":"NIN9781736865163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1736865161.jpg?v=1750993419"},{"product_id":"seven-seals-of-the-apocalypse-book-francis-x-gumerlock-9781580441087","title":"The Seven Seals of the Apocalypse","description":"Filling today's religious book market are Apocalypse commentaries teaching that the seven seals of Revelation 5-8 describe tragedies that are to take place in the last days. Medieval Europeans, on the other hand, thought very differently about the seven seals. Some used the seven seals for catechetical purposes and associated them with seven major events in the life of Christ or seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Other medieval writers taught that the seven seals contained symbols about life in the church between the first and second comings of Christ. Still others viewed the seals as milestones in the grand outline of salvation history. This book illustrates this vastness of medieval interpretive tradition on the seven seals. It includes fifteen texts from the sixth through the fifteenth centuries, which have been organized under three headings: those illustrating christological interpretations of the seven seals, those proposing ecclesiastical interpretations, and those giving historical interpretations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51327950913809,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51327954157841,"sku":"CIN1580441084VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52662495183121,"sku":"NLS9781580441087","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53511504068881,"sku":"CIN1580441084G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1580441084.jpg?v=1751023033"},{"product_id":"an-n-anonymous-irish-gloss-on-the-apocalypse-book-francis-x-gumerlock-9782503617886","title":"An An N Anonymous Irish Gloss on the Apocalypse","description":"About 700 AD an anonymous Irish teacher, working in a monastic setting, wrote this gloss on the Apocalypse. Reconstructed from three early medieval commentaries which made use of it, the gloss shows how this early Irish Christian, influenced by the fourth-century Exposition of the Apocalypse by Tyconius of Carthage, interpreted the Book of Revelation. The Latin text with interfacing English translation depicts how the author understood the 144,000 sealed, the beast, the two witnesses, 666, the Battle of Armageddon, the millennium, the New Jerusalem, and other visions of the Book of Revelation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52452197728529,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52452198187281,"sku":"NLS9782503617886","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9782503617886.jpg?v=1759363931"},{"product_id":"early-latin-commentaries-on-the-apocalypse-book-francis-x-gumerlock-9781580442237","title":"Early Latin Commentaries on the Apocalypse","description":"Many commentaries on the Apocalypse were produced in the early Middle Ages. This book provides translations of two Apocalypse commentaries from the seventh and eighth centuries. On the Mysteries of the Apocalypse of John is part of a large one-volumeReference Biblecomposed about 750. Written probably by an Irish teacher residing in northern France, it answers difficulties arising from the biblical text. The Handbook on the Apocalypse of the Apostle John, attributed erroneously to Jerome and written before 767, contains brief moral and allegorical interpretations of particular words and phrases of the Apocalypse. The introduction highlights the unique features of each commentary and the interrelationship of the three texts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52538709442833,"sku":"NLS9781580442237","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781580442237.jpg?v=1760683015"},{"product_id":"carolingian-commentaries-on-the-apocalypse-by-theodulf-and-smaragdus-book-francis-x-gumerlock-9781580443777","title":"Carolingian Commentaries on the Apocalypse by Theodulf and Smaragdus","description":"In the early ninth-century Theodulf of Orleans and Smaragdus of Saint Mihiel served as advisers to Charlemagne.
