Restore the insights of a key patristic commentator on the Song of Songs with a newly edited edition drawn from the Sessorian codex.

This edition presents Aponius’s Commentaries and Explanation on the Cantica Canticorum in a careful, expanded form. Drawing on manuscript evidence from the Sessoriana library, it gathers material that was previously scattered or imperfectly preserved, offering a clearer view of the author’s method and aims. The volume includes scholarly apparatus that helps readers understand how the text was shaped, revised, and interpreted by medieval and early modern editors.

• A complete, edited base text with previously lost or corrupted portions restored from manuscript sources.
• An introduction framing Aponius’s life, his place among ecclesiastical writers, and the reception of his Canticles commentary.
• Notes detailing manuscript witnesses, textual variants, and interpretive choices.
• Discussion of the theological and exegetical themes that shaped the commentary and its use in later devotional and scholastic traditions.
