Abstract

Ambrosius’ in psalm. 61 is known as twelfth and last part of his Explanatio in psalmos XII. The twofold content – on the one hand, Christological exegesis, on the other hand, political implications – led, however, also to combinations with other works. This contribution focuses on problems and questions that arise when preparing a new critical edition of the text. It is unclear whether Ambrose gave the work a title and whether the text was ‘published’ by Ambrose himself. The article examines how in psalm. 61 was transmitted and asks if it was Martinus Corbo who was the first to add in psalm. 61 to the Explanatio in psalmos XII and whether a manuscript that Corbo received from Verona (Milano, Bibl. Ambr. I 145 inf., s. xii) could indeed have been the exemplar of Corbo’s text.
