Albert the Great and the Holy Scripture. Preliminary Remarks

The vast number of Albert the Great’s commentaries on the Old and New Testaments are not intended as a secondary and negligible aspect of his research activity that may be placed in the margins of the intensive work of commenting on the Aristotelian writings. Quite the contrary: his exegetical studies may provide an unusual and innovative angle for observing certain sides of his reflections. This book is an attempt to strengthen this conviction. From different viewpoints, the authors try to answer questions such as “What are the distinctive traits of Albert the Great’s exegetical activity?”, “What role does the Holy Scripture play in Albert the Great’s work?”, or “What is the relationship between certain philosophical concepts formulated by the Dominican master and his biblical exegesis?”
