Abstract
This image is from a collection created by Etta Hanson and given to the College in 1954. All items are from Otto Ege's estate. The leaf was contained and mounted in a mat created by Otto Ege, as were all other leaves in this collection. There is a typed description at the bottom of the mat, which reads: "A Vulgate text with the famous commentary by the brilliant Franciscan theologian Nicolas de Lyra (1270-1340), which “may be said to mark the first beginnings of a school of natural exegesis.” Luther, as well as many other reformers and humanists, was influenced considerably by these notes. Koberger, the most prolific of the great fifteenth century publishers, issued fifteen Latin Bibles from 1475 to 1500. The initials are rubricated by hand.
