Ambrosiaster is a name given to an unknown
writer during the latter part of the fourth century. It literally means “would-be Ambrose,” and
was first given to the author in the sixteenth century because his commentary
on Paul’s letters was attributed traditional to Ambrose. Erasmus was the first to suggest a different
author. Augustine cited the work as
belonging to Hilary, but no attempts to identify which Hilary have been
successful. The work below was
traditionally ascribed to Augustine, but its editor, Souter, argued
persuasively that it should also belong to the figure of Ambrosiaster, whomever
that is. In the work, three psalms are
treated: Psalm 1 (pp. 268-277), Psalm 23 [24] (pp. 277-286), and Psalm 50 [51]
(pp. 286-298).
