Nicholas of Lyra, Literal Commentary on Galatians cover

Though little-known today, Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries are arguably among the most widely-read and influential commentaries of all time. For more than two hundred years, from the time of their composition, well into the Reformation era, they were copied and recopied, printed and reprinted, as an indispensable guide to the meaning of scripture. Naumann presents here a complete translation of Lyra's literal commentary on Galatians in English for the first time, with a freshly-edited Latin text, and provides ample notes on its significance in relation to the works of previous authors.

"This book serves multiple purposes: it reproduces both the Latin texts of the Postilla literalis and the English translation of the author, and it provides a number of details to deepen any reader's interest in St. Nicholas of Lyra and his commentary. [...]An interesting and advanced version of the comments of Nicholas..." Cosmin Tudor Ciocan, The Medieval Review 16.12.05
