Abstract

This book chapter introduces Julian of Aeclanum as a biblical exegete. It begins by setting out Julian's hermeneutics and overall approach to biblical exegesis, discussing in particular the influence of Latin forensic rhetoric and ancient grammar and literary rhetoric on his method and style of exegesis. It highlights his emphasis on history, prophecy and the concept of "theoria". It then discusses his main works in turn, his treatise "On Love" (De amore), his commentary on the book of Job (expositio in Iob), and his commentaries (explanationes) on the three prophets Hosea, Joel, and Amos.
