Abstract

<p>Abstract:</p><p>Peter Lombard&apos;s influential commentary on the Pauline Epistles, the <i>Collectanea in omnes divi Pauli epistolas</i>, has received little extended analysis in scholarly literature, despite its recognized importance both in its own right and as key for the development of his <i>Sentences</i>.
