Description: The first modern study of Nicholas of Lyra, immensely influential fourteenth-century Franciscan biblical commentator. Fifteen essays on his masterpiece, the Postillae super totam Bibliam, illuminate the remarkable achievement of this key thinker, from his knowledge of Hebrew to political ideas.

Review Quotes: 'In their welcome collection of essays on the Franciscan biblical exegete Nicholas of Lyra (1270-1349), Philip Krey and Lesley Smith seek to address those issues that have recently sparked interest in this scholar in several areas of medieval studies.'
Ruth Nisse, The Journal of Religion.
