This monograph encompasses the first critical edition, translation, and historical study of a series of lectures from the cathedral school of Notre-Dame, Peter Comestor's Glosses on the Glossed Gospel of John. Delivered in Paris in the mid-1150s, Comestor's expansive lecture course on the Glossa ordinaria on the Gospel of John has survived in no fewer than seventeen manuscript witnesses, being preserved in the form of continuous transcripts taken in shorthand by a student-reporter ( reportationes). The editor has selected the fifteen best witnesses to produce a critical edition and translation of the first chapter of Comestor's lectures on the Gospel of John. In addition to the text of the original lectures, the edition includes appendices containing accretions to the lecture materials added by Comestor and his students, as well as the corresponding text of the Glossa ordinaria from which Comestor lectured.The Latin text and translation of Peter Comestor's lectures are preceded by a wide-ranging critical study of the historical and intellectual context of Peter Comestor's biblical teaching. This study begins with an outline of Comestor's scholastic career and known works, with a detailed introduction to his Gospel lectures and the relevant historiography. Subsequently, a survey is made of the intellectual landscape of Comestor's lectures: namely, the tradition of biblical teaching originating at the School of Laon, preserved in the Glossa ordinaria, and developed in the classroom by Peter Lombard and a succession of Parisian masters, notably Comestor himself. The following section examines the portion of the lectures presented in this book, encompassing an overview of its contents and structure, a description of Comestor's teaching method and scholastic setting, a study of the text's sources, and a consideration of Comestor's participation and reception in the scholastic tradition. The final chapters contain a careful description of the manuscripts and editorial principles adopted in the Latin edition and translation.

Through a partial critical edition and study of Peter Comestor's lectures, this volume recontextualizes the biblical exegesis of the twelfth-century Latin cathedral schools within the frameworks of the study of ars grammatica, underscoring the importance of the master-disciple relationship in forming medieval exegetical schools of thought. This study critically examines the Latin biblical lectures of Peter Comestor, a twelfth-century scholar based in Paris, focusing on his commentary on the Gospel of Luke and its glossing tradition. The study positions Comestor's lectures among Latin biblical commentaries produced in the cathedral schools of Laon and Paris, a vital intellectual movement shaped by well-known figures such as Anselm of Laon and Peter Lombard, and which provided the foundations for the University of Paris.Recent scholarship has sought to bridge the gap between biblical commentaries and systematic theological treatises by highlighting the shared didactic methodologies between the medieval study of the liberal arts and sacred scripture. This study of Comestor's Luke lectures expands these efforts, underscoring the role of classical philology and liberal arts pedagogy in shaping medieval theological thought.The volume highlights how the cathedral school scholars of northern France approached Christian theology as a work of textual criticism, exploring a wide range of subjects—from geometry to canon law—through biblical interpretation. By tracing these intellectual traditions, the study uncovers the pedagogical practices that informed the understanding of Christian biblical exegesis in the Latin Middle Ages, particularly in the period leading up to the establishment of Europe's first universities and theology faculties.
