Review Quotes:
"After engaging with this selection, interested readers will surely feel encouraged to work on the texts in order to study their rhetorical structure and their effectiveness, to examine other significant themes and to try to search for the originality of Peter Chrysologus, who is attentive to the problems of his time, while inspired to read the remaining sermons. The translation is well done, careful to maintain the complex rhetorical form proper to the Latin of Peter." - The Classical Review
"Insgesamt betrachtet, stellt der Band "Peter Chrysologus" einen kompakten, leicht fasslichen Zugang zu einem eher unbekannten Autor des fünften Jahr-hunderts dar. Mittels der kurzen Einleitung und der ausgewählten Predigten gelingt es, sich in Kürze einen Eindruck von Petrus Chrysologus zu verschaffen." - Plekos
[Overall, the volume Peter Chrysologus represents a compact, easily comprehensible approach to a relatively unknown author of the fifth century. The short introduction and the selected sermons make it possible to get a brief impression of Petrus Chrysologus.]
