Jo. Christophori Wolfii Past. ad D. Cathar. et scholarchae Curae philologicae et criticae in X. posteriores S. Pauli Epistolas

Johann Christoph Wolf, a prominent German polymath and theologian, composed these 'Curae philologicae et criticae' during the early 18th century as part of a rigorous multi-volume project analyzing the New Testament. Published in Hamburg in 1738, this specific volume focuses on the latter ten epistles of Saint Paul. The work reflects the intellectual climate of the era's Protestant scholarship, which emphasized meticulous linguistic examination, historical context, and the synthesis of classical philology with sacred texts.

The design of the work follows the tradition of scholarly ecclesiastical publishing established by Christian Herold. It was intended as a definitive reference for clergy and academics, featuring heavy use of Greek and Latin commentary to support complex theological arguments. Because the volume was designed primarily for specialized research libraries and theological seminaries rather than general consumption, it remains a significant primary source for those studying the history of biblical hermeneutics and the development of modern textual criticism.
