The text was edited by Thomas Januensis and translated by George of Trebizond and Pietro Barozzi. John Chrysostom (347 407) was the first Greek Church Father to be published, thanks to George's translation. 'These works combine a great facility for seeing the spiritual meaning of the author with an equal ability for immediate practical application. He was opposed to the allegorical exegesis of the Scriptures, and insisted that they must be interpreted literally' (Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church). Our copy bears the glossae of two contemporary Italian readers, who interrogated the text in light of the most pressing theological questions, concentrating particularly on the homilies on Matthew and John and those on some of St Paul's letters.
