Produktbeschreibung
The commentary of Saint Robert Bellarmine on Psalm
118 is a segment of his work, the Explanatio in
psalmos , which is a commentary written in Latin on
all 150 psalms of the Psalter. Psalm 118 is the
longest psalm, consisting of 176 verses.
The examination is focused on the manner in which
Saint Robert Bellarmine delivers his message, in
terms of structure, style, language, and the use of
sources. In the use of sources the book looks at
how, where, and why Saint Robert Bellarmine uses
scriptural quotations, cites other authors, and
discusses the Greek and Hebrew equivalents of
selected phrases.
To promote better understanding of this work,
related matters, such as biographical details about
Saint Robert Bellarmine, and the most frequently
quoted authors, namely Saint Augustine and Saint
Jerome are also included, as well as information
about the Psalter itself, concerning its theme,
language and liturgical importance.
This study should be of particular interest to
those to readers desiring to read good Latin texts;
however, even those unfamiliar with Latin will be
able to deepen their understanding of the longest
psalm of the Psalter.
