V-3 Ordinis quinti tomus tertius (Opera Omnia Desiderii Erasmi – Erasmus, Opera Omnia) - Hardcover

The third volume of Ordo V in the Amsterdam edition of the Latin texts of Erasmus presents the second half of Erasmus' commentaries on eleven Psalms. Two of them not only explain the psalms themselves, but also deal with topical questions, viz. the war against the Turks and the disintegration of Christendom. The volume presents critical editions of the Latin texts and introductions and commentary notes in German that provide the reader with useful philological, theological, linguistic and historical background information, elucidating the text and identifying Erasmus' sources.

This volume of Erasmi Opera Omnia is the third volume in ordo V, which is the ordo librorum qui spectant ad pietatem (the ordo containing Erasmus' works on faith and piety). This second volume of Enarrationes in Psalmos contains Erasmus' commentaries on Psalms 28, 33, 38, 83 and 85, using (as elsewhere in this edition) the modern numbering of the Psalms. In this volume, the introductions and notes are in German.
