But they do much more than this. The majority of the papers address three interconnected questions: (1) the boundary between an exegesis and an exposition; (2) how the genre of the source text influences the commentary (notably in the case of surgical texts); and (3) how commentary can serve to canonize an author, and stigmatize other views and interpretations. The result is a collection of essays that is remarkably coherent and focused. (...) Taken as a whole, this is a very satisfying volume, with a thematic unity both unusual in proceedings of this kind, and original. - Faith Wallis, in: BMCR, 2022.09.34 Author InformationPeter E.
