I am looking for a couple of ancient writers who wrote commentaries on Revelation. I have done alot of searches but I can not find their commentaries for sale anywhere that I can purchase them. The 2 are Andreas of Cappadocia and Arethas of Caesarea. They both wrote commentaries on Revelation and I am wanting to purchase them. I would truly appreciate any help finding a link to where I could purchase their commentaries. Thank you so much!

I have a book from an Orthodox book store that uses st. andrew of Caesarea quite extensively and walks through the apocalypse. Even though the author is Russian Orthodox, much of it is OK for a Catholic seeing as it uses pre-Schism Fathers.

But I don’t know how you would get it in Kentucky . I live in Portland, OR.
 
spauline,

The commentary that you are talking about is from Archbishop Averky Taushev. His commentary is based upon mostly St. Andrew of Caesarea. I have most of St. Andrew’s commentary on Revelation, and I am using it in my commentary. I have all of St. Bede’s, Oecumenius, St. Victorinus, and much of Primasius, St. Andrew, Tyconius, Apringius of Beja, St. Caesarius of Arles commentaries on Revelation. I have ordered Nicolas of Lyra’s commentary on Revelation and it should be in in a day or two, and I will be using it as well. The only commentaries that I have not been able to purchase is Andreas and Arethas. I have spent hours upon hours just doing searches on the internet trying to find some book seller that has them, but I have not found any. I would buy them in a heartbeat if or when I find them. I have 27 pages of commentary for chapter 1 alone, and I will have more pages after I get Nicolas of Lyra’s stuff in it. I am excited to see how he interpreted Revelation. He was a 13th century Franciscan exegete who stressed the literal interpretation of Scripture. That will bring a unique addition to my commentary! This project has turned into a much bigger deal than I ever dreamed it would, but I have been having the time of my life working on it!
