In this fifth volume of The Bible in Medieval Tradition (BMT), David Burr addresses exegesis of the book of Revelation from the twelfth through the fourteenth centuries, discussing the historical context and providing freshly translated samples. After reviewing exegetes of the early church, Burr turns to the influential Richard of Saint Victor, then focuses on a procession of Franciscans that includes such figures as Joachim of Fiore, Alexander Minorita, and Bonaventure, and finally concludes with the fourteenth-century Nicholas of Lyra. The central figure in this volume is John Olivi, a major apocalyptic commentator who changed the interpretive tradition dramatically.
