{"product_id":"the-glossa-ordinaria-lesley-smith-9789004177857","title":"The Glossa Ordinaria: The Making of a Medieval Bible Commentary","description":"The \u003ci\u003eGlossa Ordinaria\u003c\/i\u003e on the Bible was the ubiquitous text of the Middle Ages. Compiled in twelfth-century France, this multi-volume work, containing the entire text of Scripture surrounded by a commentary drawn from patristic and medieval authors, is still extant in thousands of manuscripts, testifying to the centrality of the work for generations of medieval scholars. Although the \u003ci\u003eGlossa\u003c\/i\u003e has been the subject of modern study, it is surrounded by myth. This book, based on manuscript evidence, is the first to draw together the history of this monumental work, its authorship, content, layout, production and use. Raising new questions, and pointing the way to further research, it opens up the \u003ci\u003eGlossa\u003c\/i\u003e to all students of medieval religion and intellectual history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lesley Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900417785X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004177857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 23","brand":"Lesley Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799127732479,"sku":"9789004177857","price":202.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-glossa-ordinaria-lesley-smith-9789004177857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
