Initial interest in the catena manuscripts of the early church was constrained to the cataloguing of a limited range of documents (Karo and Lietzmann, 1902). Following this, a fuller enquiry into the format and content of these texts was undertaken by Karl Staab in 1926. The current standard classification of Pauline catenae in the Clavis Patrum Graecorum (198*, 2nd ed. 2018) depends entirely on Staab's publications, despite the recent discovery of more than one hundred catena manuscripts not featured in existing catalogues (Houghton and Parker, 2016). The Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing (ITSEE) at the University of Birmingham has led the way in this new wave of catena research, promoting the first integrated study of these manuscripts as witnesses both to the New Testament text and the development of Christian exegesis, even identifying extracts which preserve otherwise unknown texts from early Christian writers, including works later banned as heretical (Moss, 2016). Recent research such as Panella's M3C thesis on Galatians Catenae, the Codex Zacynthius project and the ERC CATENA project offers an unparalleled environment to study these manuscripts.My research will build on these freshly-created resources to advance a new understanding of the early commentary tradition on Ephesians-one of the key Pauline Epistles, sometimes described as a summary of Paul's theology (Lincoln, 1998). My central research question considers how the collection of diverse theological commentators demonstrated in the earliest form of Ephesians catenae impacted the interpretational methodology of the pre-medieval church.This project aims to produce the first-ever critical edition of this commentary and to compare its theological methodology with that of contemporary Western interpretational constructs. In preparation to produce this edition, I have begun classifying the existing documents into the categories of Staab and the Clavis Patrum Graecorum. Those manuscripts attesting to the earliest commentary form will be fully transcribed. These transcriptions will be collated for the production of the final digital edition with hyperlinks to each file. The completion of the edition will then enable critical engagement with the theological nature of the commentaries it contains.By recovering these early voices of the Christian community, some lost through time, the modern church will be able to reconnect with forgotten interpretational methodologies potentially shifting modern hermeneutical approaches in ways more aligned with previous centuries. Additionally, this work will serve as a template for future critical editions of other, similar commentary manuscripts of the Bible.

最初对早期教会的Catena手稿的兴趣仅限于对有限范围的文件进行编目(Karo和Lietzmann，1902)。此后，卡尔·斯塔布于1926年对这些文本的格式和内容进行了更全面的调查。泡桐属(Clavis Patrum Graecorum)的现行标准分类(198*，第二版)2018年)完全取决于Staab的出版物，尽管最近发现了100多份Catena手稿，没有出现在现有的目录中(Houghton和Parker，2016)。伯明翰大学的文本研究和电子编辑研究所(ITSEE)在这一新的连锁反应研究浪潮中走在了前列，推动了对这些手稿的第一次综合研究，作为新约文本和基督教注释发展的见证者，甚至识别了保存来自早期基督教作家的其他未知文本的摘录，包括后来被禁止为异端的作品(Moss，2016)。最近的研究，如Panella关于Galatians Catenae的M3C论文，Codex Zacynthius项目和ERC Catena项目，为研究这些手稿提供了一个无与伦比的环境。我的研究将建立在这些新创建的资源基础上，以推进对以弗所书早期评论传统的新理解--以弗所书是波林书信的关键之一，有时被描述为保罗神学的摘要(林肯，1998)。我的中心研究问题是考虑各种不同的神学评论家的集合是如何影响中世纪前教会的解释方法论的。这个项目旨在产生这一评论的第一个批判性版本，并将其神学方法论与当代西方解释构造的神学方法论进行比较。为了准备制作这一版本，我已经开始将现有的文件归类为Staab和Clavis Patrum Graecorum。那些证实了最早的评论形式的手稿将被完整转录。将对这些抄本进行整理，以便制作带有每个文件超链接的最终数字版。这一版本的完成将使人们能够批判性地接触到它所包含的注释的神学性质。通过恢复这些基督教社区的早期声音，一些声音随着时间的推移而丢失，现代教会将能够重新与被遗忘的解释方法论联系起来，潜在地以与前几个世纪更一致的方式改变现代解释方法。此外，这部作品将作为未来其他类似的圣经评论手稿的关键版本的模板。
