About this work

Author
Diodore of Tarsus
Attribution
disputed · The title in the manuscripts names Diodore; one manuscript (Coislinianus 275) names Anastasius, metropolitan of Nicaea, and the edition's introduction weighs both names without settling the question. The commentary follows the historical, literal method of the school of Antioch.
Standing
Not honoured as a saint or in a church calendar by the Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant traditions. Written in the church of its time; whether by Diodore (in communion and praised in 381) or by Anastasius of Nicaea, later tradition did not reject the commentary itself.
Date
4th century (if Diodore, before ca. 390) (disputed) · Dated by the career of Diodore, who was bishop of Tarsus from 378 and died before 394; the date holds only if he is the author.
Written at
Antioch, Syria (approximate)

Greek
