A Ninth-Century Commentary on Phocas

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 February 2009

Extract

One of the most learned and prolific writers of the ninth century was Remigius of Auxerre (c. 841–908). In addition to lengthy expositions of several books of the Bible, he wrote Commentaries on Donatus, Priscian, Eutyches, Beda, the Disticha Catonis, Sedulius, Martianus Capella, Boethius, and Phocas.
