Sancti Ambrosii Mediolanensis Episcopi Opera Omnia (tomi secundi pars posterior)

Description

contains Ambrosiaster's commentary on 1 Cor. 7 (DjVu pp. 119-124); cf. [this English transl.](https://books.google.com/books?id=KXny7l1jfBEC&pg=PA148#v=onepage&q&f=false) (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](https://isidore.co/calibre#panel=book_details&book_id=6570) p. 157 (PDF p. 173)Latinist Christine Mohrmann refers to Ambrosiaster's commentary on 1 Cor. 14:24-25.
