Jump to navigationJump to searchThe Franciscan teacher Nicholas of Lyra (c. 1270–October 1349) was among the most influential practitioners of Biblical exegesis in the Middle Ages. He was a doctor at the Sorbonne by 1309 and ten years later was appointed the head of all Franciscans in France. His major work, Postillae perpetuae in universam S. Scripturam, was the first printed commentary on the Bible, printed in Rome in 1471.
