Abstract

In the opening address to the translation the A. investigates the structure and content of the catenae of Procopius of Gaza on the Book of Ecclesiaste, specifically the “chain of interpretation” of Eccl. 1, 1-4, 6 (MS Marc. gr. 22). Moreover, the manuscripts of the works(in total there are six, of which the most important are Marc. gr 22 and Vindob. th. gr. 147), among which Procopius’ catenae on the Book of Ecclesiastes are also included, remained fragmentary. Several of the authors of the exegetical works cited by him could not be identified by the publisher of the manuscript. For two of the unknown fragments of interpretations the A. was able to determine the authorship. After the introductory part, the translation of Procopius’ catenae to the Book of Ecclesiastes is published with commentaries.
