| Summary: | This is the final volume of six. Only in the fourth, which I reviewed in JTS, ns 52 (2001), pp. 930–1, was de Vogüé able to exploit his discovery that this commentary owes its present form to a twelfth-century Italian, Peter abbot of Venosa (d. 1156), previously monk of Cava, the monastery from which the unique manuscript comes. In the introduction to the present volume, de Vogüé reiterates his view that the commentary is not just a reworking of a lost work of Gregory the Great, but ‘une création pure et simple du xiie siècle’ (p. 26), though one that rests on profound knowledge of preserved works by Gregory. I continue to have doubts about this (far the most interesting question raised by the book). |
