Clare K. Rothschild's new monograph on The Muratorian Fragment (STAC 132,
Mohr Siebeck) with text, translation and commentary has just been
published.
Publisher's description:
This volume offers an introduction, critical edition, and fresh
English translation of the Muratorian Fragment. In addition to
addressing questions of authorship, date, provenance, and sources, Clare K.
Rothschild carefully analyzes the text's language, composition, genre,
and possible functions with reference to a breathtaking range of
scholarly positions and findings from the eighteenth century to the
present. She also investigates its position within the eclectic
eighth-century Muratorian Codex (Ambr. I 101 sup.). A line-by-line
philological commentary draws attention to literary, philosophical, and
religious aspects of the individual traditions represented. This study
should be of interest to scholars of the New Testament and early
Christian literature, as well as experts on the emergence of the canon
and historians of the Latin Medieval West.
Congratulations to the author!
