Question: Greek philosopher Aspasius would later be joined by medieval Christian scholars contributing to what massof literature?
Context: Carol Lee Flinders (née Ramage; born 1943) is a writer, independent scholar, educator, speaker, and former syndicated columnist.  She received a doctorate in comparative literature from the University of California, Berkeley, with a focus on medieval women's mysticism.  She is currently faculty at the Sophia Center for Culture and Spirituality at Holy Names College in Oakland, California, where she teaches courses on mysticism and contemplative spirituality.  She is also a Fellow at Santa Clara University.  In the past, Flinders taught at the University of California at Berkeley, the Graduate Theological Union, and elsewhere.  Her published writings cover a variety of topics ranging from medieval Christian mysticism to vegetarian cooking to scientific research on meditation.  She is a coauthor of "Laurel's Kitchen" (1976) and its later editions, which in all sold more than a million copies.  From 1977 through 1989 she wrote a widely syndicated column on vegetarian cooking.  "Notes from Laurel's Kitchen". In the "Lebor Gabála Érenn", a medieval Irish Christian pseudo-history, the Milesians (Irish: "gairthear Mílidh Easpáinne" ) are the final race to settle in Ireland.  They represent the Irish people.  The Milesians are Gaels who sail to Ireland from Hispania after spending hundreds of years travelling the earth.  When they land in Ireland they contend with the Tuatha Dé Danann, who represent the pagan gods.  The two groups agree to divide Ireland between them: the Milesians take the world above, while the Tuath Dé take the world below (i.e. the Otherworld).  They are named after the character Míl Espáine, which is the Irish form of the Latin "Miles Hispaniae" ("Soldier of Hispania").  Scholars believe that the tale is mostly an invention of medieval Christian writers. The Hydrus (also known as "Enhydros, Enidros, Hildris, Hydra, Idra, Idres, Ydre, Ydris", and "Ydrus") is a creature from Medieval bestiaries.  They were said to be found in the Nile River.  While in the Nile, a crocodile would roll the hydrus in the mud before eating the smaller creature.  However, once inside the crocodile's stomach, the hydrus would burst free from the stomach lining.  In medieval Christian tradition, this bursting free from the crocodile became an emblem of the resurrection of Christ bursting free from Hell. Commentaries on Aristotle refers to the great mass of literature produced, especially in the ancient and medieval world, to explain and clarify the works of Aristotle.  The pupils of Aristotle were the first to comment on his writings, a tradition which was continued by the Peripatetic school throughout the Hellenistic period and the Roman era.  The Neoplatonists of the late Roman empire wrote many commentaries on Aristotle, attempting to incorporate him into their philosophy.  Although Ancient Greek commentaries are considered the most useful, commentaries continued to be written by the Christian scholars of the Byzantine Empire and by the many Islamic philosophers and Western scholastics who had inherited his texts. Aspasius ( ; Greek: Ἀσπάσιος ; c. 80 – c. 150 AD) was a Peripatetic philosopher.  Boethius, who frequently refers to his works, says that Aspasius wrote commentaries on most of the works of Aristotle.  The following commentaries are expressly mentioned: on "De Interpretatione", the "Physica", "Metaphysica", "Categoriae", and the "Nicomachean Ethics".  A portion of the commentary on the "Nicomachean Ethics" (books 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8) is extant.  The Greek text of this commentary has been published as "Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca" (CAG) vol.  19.1, and David Konstan has published an English translation.  It is notable as the earliest extant commentary on any of Aristotle's works.  From Porphyry, who also states that Aspasius wrote commentaries on Plato, we learn that his commentaries on Aristotle were used in the school of Plotinus. Originally, Physiologist was an ancient collection of stories about nature, which probably appeared in Alexandria in 200 - 300 A.D. The ancient Russian "Physiologist" (Russian: Физиолог ) in its 15th-century version is a translation from Bulgarian.  The Bulgarian version, in turn, was translated from Greek in the 11th - 12th century.  "Physiologist" contains information on animals and birds (lion, eagle etc.), mythical creatures (phoenix, centaur, siren etc.), stones, and trees.  The stories are accompanied by commentaries in the spirit of medieval Christian symbolism.  The images from the "Physiologist" found reflection in the old Russian literature, iconography, and book ornamentation. James A. Brundage is Professor Emeritus of history at the University of Kansas.  He was formerly Ahmanson-Murphy professor of medieval European history and for many years before that at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  Brundage specializes in the history of medieval canon law.  In the first half of his career, he studied the history of the crusades from the point of view of canon law.  In later years, he turned to the history of sexuality.  He is perhaps most widely known for his tongue-in-cheek flow-chart explaining medieval Christian sexual ethics.  He received his PhD from Fordham University. The Suda or Souda (Medieval Greek: Σοῦδα  "Soûda" ; Latin: "Suidae Lexicon" ) is a large 10th-century Byzantine encyclopedia of the ancient Mediterranean world, formerly attributed to an author called Suidas.  It is an encyclopedic lexicon, written in Greek, with 30,000 entries, many drawing from ancient sources that have since been lost, and often derived from medieval Christian compilers.  The derivation is probably from the Byzantine Greek word "souda", meaning "fortress" or "stronghold", with the alternate name, "Suidas", stemming from an error made by Eustathius, who mistook the title for the author's name. The Christian Scholars Group is group of about 20 Christian scholars, theologians, historians and clergy from various Christian denominations which works to "develop more adequate Christian theologies of the church's relationship to Judaism and the Jewish people." The Jerusalem School of Synoptic Research is a consortium of Jewish and Christian scholars that study the Synoptic Gospels in light of the historic, linguistic and cultural milieu of Jesus.  The beginnings of the collegial relationships that formed the Jerusalem School of Synoptic Research can be traced back to a Jewish scholar and a Christian scholar, respectively David Flusser and Robert L. Lindsey in the 1960s.  For the past 50 years, ‘Christian scholars fluent in Hebrew and living in the land of Israel have collaborated with Jewish scholars to examine Jesus’ sayings from a Judaic and Hebraic perspective’.
