The
English translation of the original Latin text contained in this
set is especially noteworthy as it was edited by
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN (1801-1890), who is to be beatified
this year. The work of several years, though first published in
1842, this accurate translation has stood the test of time and
is still cherished by serious students of the Holy Gospels. In
fact Newman co-wrote in one of the Catena’s introductions that
while previous ecclesiastical writers had also compiled such
Patristic texts, nevertheless "...they [the
earlier compositions] are very inferior to the
Catena Aurea..."
