Caesarius of Arles Commentary on Revelation

This commentary on Revelation by Caesarius of Arles (470-542AD) is an English translation from the Patrologia Latina volume 35.2417-52. Adjustments were made in the layout of this commentary due to the numerous places in the text where it veered away from the order of the Scripture. The commentary itself jumps around from time to time, often repeating portions of comments that were written prior, going from one chapter of Revelation to things said in a previous chapter, many times nearly word for word. The aim was to make this commentary user-friendly, so the recapitulations are placed in parallel columns side-by-side for easy comparison and to pursue a free-flow exposition of the Scripture text. The only exception to that rule is the final chapter and conclusion of the commentary where Caesarius repeats a section of a previous chapter but he blends it into his closing words for the whole book.
