DESCRIPTION
Two volumes bound in one.
In the original Latin.
Two commentary works on the Bible, detailing eighteen minor prophets in total.
All these commentaries are on a very large scale. They explain not only the literal, but also the allegorical, tropological, and anagogical sense of the sacred text, and furnish a large number of quotations from the Church Fathers and the later interpreters of Holy Writ during the Middle Ages. Like most of his predecessors and contemporaries, Lapide intended to serve not only the historical and scientific study of the Bible, but, even more, the purposes pious meditation, and especially of pulpit exposition.
Written by Cornelius Cornelii a Lapide, a Flemish Jesuit. and exegete
