In this passage, Diodorus describes the peculiarities of writing and transmitting the psaltery, discusses the rules of interpretation. His hermeneutic approach involves two levels of reading the Psalter: literal and spiritual. At the same time, for its time, the author offers a new look at the messianic proclamation in psalms and speaks out sharp criticism of the allegorical interpretation. The translation is accompanied by the preface of the translator, which describes the main ideas of the author. Timofeev, Boris Yu. “Diodorus of Tarsus.
