Bishop Fortunatianus of Aquileia wrote a commentary on the Gospels in the middle of the 4th century. So far, short excerpts were all we had of this work, which is considered to have been lost in its entirety by Carolingian times. In fact, Fortunatianus commentary can be found in an almost complete form in Cologne, Dombibliothek ms. 17. The discovery of this major work of Late Antiquity very likely the earliest Latin commentary on the Gospels which has survived is bound to have a considerable impact on Patristic studies. The present article gives a discussion of some fundamental facts related to Fortunatianus commentary, which will be critically edited for the CSEL.
