Every run of seven words or more that appears both here and in another book on this shelf, merged into the longest passage they have in common. Catena Aurea on St Mark shares wording with 4 of the other 37. This is quotation, or a common source, or one translator doing both — not a resemblance inferred from vocabulary.

Quotation, here, means a named attribution or a commentary working through the text — not a guess from shared vocabulary.
Of the sixty counted across the shelf, the ones this book names most. A name is counted wherever it is written, whoever is speaking. Each one has a page of its own listing every chapter, in every book, that carries it.
Translator: The Oxford translation, 1842. Source: CCEL.
The text here is the Oxford translation published by J.G.F. and J. Rivington in 1842, public domain, from the text at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. The 1842 printing misspells three of the names — Theophlyact, Psuedo-Chrys., Origin — and those are corrected here; nothing else is altered.
Complete. Aquinas assembled it in the 1260s at the request of Pope Urban IV, working from Greek sources that had not been read in the Latin west for centuries.
Public domain, and free to read, copy and quote. Nothing on this page is written by anyone living: the words are the translator’s and the counts are the text’s.
