Prof. D.H. Williams in his Introduction to
a 2012 translation of St. Hilary of Poitier's
COMMENTARY ON MATTHEW (FC vol. 125:
CUA Press, Washington,D.C.) pages 32-33 :
Hilary's emphasis on the bestowal of God's
righteousness upon a helpless race before
the demands of the Law represents a more
pronounced application of this side of Paul's
thought than is perceptible in any previous
writer. There is the strong likelihood that
Hilary's commentary was the earliest stimulus
for the revival of Pauline studies in the Western
Roman empire during the last decades (4th Century).
Within a decade of Hilary's work a concerted
interest in Pauline texts and themes is evident
among such widely divergent thinkers as
Marius Victorinus / Augustine of Hippo /
Tyconius / Pelagius / Priscillian of Avila.
footnote 117: two writers produced commentaries
on all Paul's Epistles: Ambrosiaster & Pelagius.
Marius V. in the 360s wrote on Ephesians, Galatians,
& Philippians while Jerome wrote on Galatians,
Ephesians, Philemon.
