Newly translated from the Latin

Annotations on the Old Testament

Sixtus of Siena, O.P. (1520–1569) · translated from the Latin of the Bibliotheca Sancta, Book V

The fifth book of the Bibliotheca Sancta: a Preface and 264 annotations and censures upon the interpreters and expositors of the Old Testament, arranged in the order of the sacred books from Genesis to the Machabees. Sixtus weighs the readings of the Fathers and doctors — where they are abused by heretics, where they slipped, and how they are to be honestly defended — with every marginal note of the printed edition preserved and translated. In English for the first time.
