Description
contains Ambrosiaster's commentary on 1 Cor. 7 (DjVu pp. 119-124); cf. this English transl. (pp. 148-158)
I'm skeptical that Ambrosiaster ≠ St. Ambrose, ∵ Erasmus coined the name and was the first to question the authenticity. St. Thomas cites St. Ambrose in his Compendium , but the editors/translators parenthetically add "Ambrosiaster".
Ambrosiaster was, as interpreted by the proceeding of the Council of Trent, the only "Father" to think that fornication can dissolve marriage; he wrote in his Commentary on 1 Cor. 7 (PL 17:218B):
It is not permitted for the wife to marry, if she dismisses her own husband because of adultery … It is licit for a husband to remarry if he dismisses a sinful wife, because he is not thus bound by the law as is his wife, because a husband is head of his wife.
Non enim permittitur mulieri, ut nubat, si virum suum causa fornicationis dimiserit … Viro licet ducere uxorem, si dimiserit uxorem peccantem: quia non ita lege constringitur vir, sicut mulier; caput enim mulieris vir est.
cf. Brugger 2017 p. 157 (PDF p. 173)
Latinist Christine Mohrmann refers to Ambrosiaster's commentary on 1 Cor. 14:24-25.
