2000 Brill hardcover edition. Some reading wear else good condition. From the cover: The first modern study of Nicholas of Lyra. A Franciscan teacher at the University of Paris, Nicholas (d. 1349) was an immensely important biblical commentator whose works influenced generations of scholars including Luther. Famed for his knowledge of Hebrew learning, as well as of the Latin Fathers, Nicholas was also highly conscious of interpretative method and of the Bible as literary artefact. In his massive Postillae, Nicholas commented on the entire Bible according to both literal and spiritual senses. This masterpiece is the basis for fifteen essays which cover major biblical books, examining them in a variety of ways, such as interpretative history, theology, and even political theory. They illuminate the remarkable range of Nicholas' thinking, his impressive scholarship, and his Franciscan evangelism. A major study of a key medieval writer. Contents: 1. 'Creation, Fall and Salvation: Lyra's Commentary on Genesis 1-3' by Corrine Patton; 2. 'The Rewards of Faith: Nicholas of Lyra on Ruth' by Lesley Smith; 3.
