Surviving commentary ends; spiritual caveat

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Let the reader beware: Rufinus’s surviving commentary ends at Song 2:15; Baehrens next prints the Homilies on Isaiah. Take the nuptial words spiritually of the Word and the soul, or of Christ and the church.

Latin

Caveat lector: commentarius Rufini superstites ad Cant. 2:15 desinit; Homiliae in Isaiam in Baehrens sequuntur. Nuptialia spiritaliter de Verbo/anima vel Christo/ecclesia.
