Oecumenius ((ギリシア語:Οἰκουμένιος, Ἐπίσκοπος Τρίκκης)), once believed to be a Bishop of Trikka (now Trikala) in Thessaly writing about 990 (according to Cave, ''Scriptorum eccles. hist. liter.'' (Basel, 1745), p. 112), was reputed to be the author of several commentaries on books of the New Testament. However, more recently scholars have redated Oecumenius' ''Commentary on the Apocalypse'' to the early seventh century, or the late sixth century, and have located Oecumenius as writing in Asia Minor.〔John N. Suggit, trans. ''Oecumenius: Commentary on the Apocalypse.'' Preface. Fathers of the Church 112 (Catholic University, Washington DC) 2006.〕 ==Writings== Manuscripts of the eleventh century contain commentaries on the Acts of the Apostles and on the Catholic and Pauline epistles, attributed since the sixteenth century to Oecumenius. Those on the Acts and Catholic Epistles are identical with the commentaries of Theophylact of Bulgaria (eleventh century); the Pauline commentaries are a different work, though they too contain many parallel passages to Theophylact. The first manuscripts, however, are older than Theophylact, so that it cannot be merely a false attribution of his work. It would seem then that Oecumenius copied Andrew of Caesarea and was himself copied by Theophylactus. The situation is still complicated by the fact that among the authors quoted in these works the name of Oecumenius himself occurs repeatedly. The question then of Oecumenius's authorship is in all cases very difficult. Otto Bardenhewer (Kirchenlexikon, IX, 1905, coll. 706-10) is doubtful about it; Ehrhard (in Krumbacher's "Byzantin. Litter.", 132) says: "The name Oecumenius represents in the present state of investigation a riddle that can be solved only by thorough critical study of the manuscripts in connexion with the whole question of the Catenae." The commentary on St. Paul's Epistles is a compromise between the usual kind of commentary and a catena. Most explanations are given without reference and are therefore presumably those of the author; but there are also long excerpts from earlier writers, Clement of Alexandria, Eusebius, John Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria etc., especially from Photius. It is among these that Oecumenius himself is quoted. The Commentary on the Apocalypse was first edited by John Antony Cramer: "Catenae in Novum Testamentum", VIII (Oxford, 1840), 497-582; the other three (on Acts, Cath. Ep., and St. Paul) by Donatus (Verona, 1532). Morellus (Paris, 1631) re-edited these with a Latin translation; his edition is reproduced in ''Patrologia Graeca'', vol. CXVIII-CIX. All these were based on manuscripts which were incomplete. The most recent edition was published by Marc De Groote in 1999 (in: Traditio exegetica graeca 8, Leuven). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oecumenius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
