A new critical edition, with translation and commentary, of the Scholia in Apocalypsin, which include extensive sections of the lost fourth-century commentary of Didymus the Blind. They reveal the tension between the imperial Christian orthodoxy of the sixth century and certain monastic communities who drew freely on still-thriving Hellenic ideas.
