Excerpt from The Hexaemeral Literature: A Study of the Greek and Latin Commentaries on Genesis
An account of the commentaries on the creation story of Genesis might easily be expanded to many times the size of that here presented. The present study attempts rather to formulate concisely the development of Genesis interpretation, from its antecedents in Greek philosophy through the church writings, to the time of Milton. The question of literary form and the consideration of any but Latin, Greek, and English works bearing directly upon Genesis have been neglected in order to secure this end. It is the authors hope that the adoption of this plan in treating a class of literature which extends over such a long period of time and which as a whole has never previously been the subject of investigation will excuse the necessary shortcomings which it involves and increase the general usefulness of the essay.
The index contains an alphabetical list of authors of Hexaemera and others to whom reference is made, and under their names have been added bibliographical data and short accounts of those not accorded special mention in the study proper.
I wish here to express the warm thanks I owe to Professor Paul Shorey of the University of Chicago for suggesting to me this investigation and for his invaluable help at all times during its progress; to Professor Elmer Truesdell Merrill of the University of Chicago and to Professor William Arthur Heidel of Wesleyan University for the inspiration and practical help that have come to me from association with them, and to the editors of the American Journal of Theology for permitting me to reprint here from their journal of April, 1912, the first chapter of this study.
