The Glossa Ordinaria, the medieval glossed Bible first printed in 1480/81, has been a rich source of biblical commentary for centuries. Circulated first in manuscript, the text is the Latin Vulgate Bible of St. Jerome with patristic commentary both in the margins and within the text itself.
The Glossa Ordinaria is an extensively annotated Bible that was printed in circa 1841 and has been a rich source of biblical commentary ever since. In the form in which it was originally circulated, the accompanying patristic commentary was handwritten in the margins of an edition of the Latin Vulgate Bible of Saint Jerome. This exhaustive study, the first of its kind, serves as a primer on the Glossa Ordinaria and a readable overview of the history of the work, from its genesis in the twelfth century through its final printed edition in the nineteenth century. In addition, David A. Salomon explores the Glossa Ordinaria and its annotations through the lens of contemporary hypertext theory. By applying a mix of ancient, medieval, and modern theories, the book opens up new avenues through which readers can engage with the text.
