Leaf 2
2. Fragment from a pre-15th century manuscript recovered from a binding of a manuscript written by Nicolas of Lyra, Catena Aurea in Epistolas Pauli [on Romans], in Italy during the mid-13th century. Nicholas was born in Lire, Normandy, France and entered the Friars Minors at Verneuil. He flourished in the 14th c. as a commentator of the Bible, called Postills, from his manner of placing the biblical text first and post illa (after the words of the text) offering his own explication.
