Excerpt from Catena Aurea, Vol. 2: Commentary on the Four Gospels, Collected Out of the Works of the Fathers The Remarks prefixed to the first volume of this Translation of the Aurea Catena, apply in their substance to the following portion of it, which contains the Commentary on S. Mark. Wherever the variations from the original writers were such as to destroy the sense of the passage, the true reading has been followed, and has been placed in the margin. In other eases the text has been translated, as it is found in S. Thomas. Many of the passages ascribed to S. Chrysostom are not found in the works of that Father. Most of these occur also in a Greek Catena on S. Mark, published by Possinus, from a MS. in the Library of the Archbishop of Tolouse, and still more of them in the Edition which has been recently printed by the Oxford University Press, from a MS. in the Bodleian. A Latin Version of this Catena or Commentary had previously been published by Peltanus, and is found in the Bibliotheca Patrum; and contains far the greater number of the same passages marked as S. Chrysostom's in the Catena Aurea. It is commonly ascribed to Victor of Antioch; though by some, with little probability, to S. Cyril of Alexandria. A Commentary on a portion of S. Mark published by Waste', who gives the authorship of it and of the Opus Imperfectum in Matthtaeum to John of Jerusalem, also contains a number of the same passages which S. Thomas ascribes to S. Chrysostom. Some of the extracts marked "Cyril" are found in a Commentary of S. Cyril of Alexandria on S. Luke, lately published by Mai.
