Ambrosiaster’s multiple versions of his Questions and Commentaries offer evidence for discerning developments in his thought and for dating more precisely the different redactions of the Pauline commentary. This article examines the revisions Ambrosiaster made in his commentaries on the Corinthian correspondence and the minor epistles with a view to identifying lines of connection between the unknown exegete and his world. Significant for this purpose are the revisions revealing a heightened concern for Donastism, Manicheanism, the pneumatological controversy, and the debate between Jerome and Helvidius. To account for these revisions we propose a date of 384 for the gamma recension of the commentary on the minor Pauline epistles.
