The Catholic Expositors of the Divine Volumes

The fourth book of the Holy Library: a catalogue, in the order of the alphabet, of every Catholic expositor of Scripture from three hundred years before Christ to Sixtus's own day — his name, family, dignities, and times, the number and kind of his commentaries, his language and manner of expounding, with the judgments of illustrious men upon the noblest of them. To the great names — Origen, Jerome, Augustine, Chrysostom, Thomas, Cajetan — are joined hundreds now scarcely remembered, gathered from the church historians, from the catalogues of Jerome, Gennadius, and Trithemius, and from the libraries of Italy, Gaul, Spain, and Greece which Sixtus searched himself. With the appended catalogue of the Hebrew expositors, the distributions of the expositors by book and by method, and the admonition on detecting falsely inscribed books. In English for the first time.
