Comentarios cristianos en el siglo IV. Formas propias

Abstract

The evident differences existing between Christian and non Christian commentaries are a consequence of a different attitude towards the texts. The perfection of the object of commentary, assumed in both cases by the commentators, is attributed to a particular kind of reason in the case of the Christians. The holy nature of the bible, besides to its condition of translated text for latin speakers, makes the biblical comment a type of work with few resemblances to the comments on latin authors, even if the core characteristics of that «genre» persist.
