THEOLOGY.
[Lubec; 1494.
although said, in the following title, to be that of Nicholas de Lyra,
would seem, from Seelen’s Selecta Litteraria, p. 241 -2, to have been com-
posed, in part, by Hugo de St. Victor and other early eommentators.
Clement, Bibl. Curieuse, vol. iii. p. 335, has a very interesting notice
of this Bible; but the following will not be found superfluous.
It begins thus, on the recto of the first leaf:

On the reverse, at top, commences an abridged account of the con-
tents of the Books in the Old and New Testaments. The prefatory
epistle of St. Jerom, beneath a very large wood-cut of himself and a
lion, follows. The third chapter of this preface commences thus :

The book of Genesis commences under a large and splendid wood-cut,
of the creation of Adam and Eve. On the reverse of G vj, (second alpha-
bet) the Psalter ends, with the first volume. The second volume begins
withthe preface of St. Jerom, preceded by the same wood-cut as before
the power of her husband—the commentator remarks : ‘ not only under his control, but
under his severe discipline : subject to be beaten and bruised by him.’ Vogt, p. J45, who
is indebted to Seelen’s very particular account of this impression, calls this ‘ glossa risu
dignissima.’ On consulting Seelen, I find he observes that the gloss, here given, is
as old as the 12th century; and that De Lyra passes over the passage in silence.
He adds, what is ludicrous enough, that Kortholtus, in his Tract. de Far. Script. Edit.
p. 345, labours to soften the apparent harshness and absurdity of this interpretation. But
another biblical critic defends it, by saying that, ‘ it is a part of the conjugal office to
inflict stripes upon a disobedient wife.’ Idem ; p. 242.
