The Glose super Glosas Ysaie: a new work by Peter Comestor?

Scriptorium, 2020

The twelfth-century commentary Glose super Glosas Ysaie has been attributed by scholars to Stephe... more The twelfth-century commentary Glose super Glosas Ysaie has been attributed by scholars to Stephen Langton. However, this text is very different from the other commentary by Langton on Isaiah, the so-called Moralitas. On the other hand, the Glose super Glosas' exegetical approach, its use of the Ordinary Gloss, and its attention to the letter of the text is very similar to how Peter Comestor comments on the Gospels of John and Matthew. Moreover, the study of the manuscript Cambridge, Trinity College, B.2.15, which belonged to Robert Amiclas, student of Peter Comestor in the mid twelfth-century in Paris, reveals that it contains extracts from the Glose super Glosas Ysaie written by Amiclas himself. Through these and further elements it is possible to challenge the traditional authorship of the Glose super Glosas, and to possibly reattribute this text to Peter Comestor. If this is the case, the Glose super Glosas would be the first example of a commentary on the Old Testament authored by Comestor, with the exception of the Historia Scholastica. The preliminary study of the tradition of both the Moralitas and the Glose super Glosas, and the reattribution of the latter is a fundamental step towards a new understanding of the twelfth-century schools.

Le Glose super Glosas Ysaie (XIIe s.) ont été attribuées à Stephen Langton. Cependant, ce texte diffère substantiellement de l'autre commentaire de Langton sur Isaïe, généralement connu sous le nom de Moralitas. Par ailleurs, l'approche exégétique des Glose super Glosas, l'utilisation de la Glossa Ordinaria et l'attention portée à la lettre du texte sont très similaires à la méthode utilisée par Pierre Comestor dans son commentaire sur les évangiles de Jean et de Matthieu. De plus, l'étude du manuscrit Cambridge, Trinity College, B.2.15, ayant appartenu à Robert Amiclas - élève de Peter Comestor au milieu du XIIe siècle à Paris - révèle que ce manuscrit contient des extraits des Glose super Glosas Ysaie écrit par Amiclas lui-même. Grâce à ces éléments et à d'autres, il est possible de remettre en question l'origine des Glose super Glosas Ysaie, et d'éventuellement réattribuer ce texte à Pierre Comestor: les Glose super Glosas serait alors le premier exemple d'un commentaire de l'Ancien Testament écrit par Comestor, à l'exception de l'Historia Scholastica. L'étude préliminaire de la tradition de la Moralitas et des Glose super Glosas Ysaie, et la réattribution de ce dernière texte constitue une étape fondamentale vers une nouvelle compréhension des écoles du XIIe siècle.
