English translation of Pelagius's commentaries on the Pauline Epistles which are extreme importance for the history of Pauline exegesis"--

St. Chromatius (345?-407) was a friend and supporter of both Jerome and Rufinus of Aquileia, as well as of Sts. Ambrose and John Chrysostom. His Homilies on Matthew were rediscovered in modern times and translated into French in the SC series, and more recently into Italian.
