Dominici Asculi, his entry is written in and old hand on the first page of each volume, and later by the Crozer Theological Seminary and the Ambrose Swasey Library, each volume contains a bookplate and several ownership stamps. Complete set of the commentaries of Cornelius Cornelii a Lapide, 1567-1637. The author, born with the name Cornelis Cornelissen van der Steen, was a Flemish Jesuit and exegete. In his commentary he wrote an explanation on all the books of the Bible including the Apocrypha, except for the book of Job and the Psalms. The commentaries are very extensive and explain not only the literal sense of the texts but also the allegorical, tropological and anagogical sense. The first 7 volumes contain the commentaries on the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, the final 4 volumes the commentaries on the New Testament. The work is illustrated with 8 beautifully engraved frontispieces. An attractive, uniformly bound set of this extensive commentary.)
