Great Commentary of Cornelius à Lapide (St. Matthew's Gospel Chaps I - IV)

The 'Great Commentary of Cornelius à Lapide' is a comprehensive biblical commentary by Cornelius à Lapide, a Belgian priest and scholar, written in the early 17th century. This work focuses on the Gospel of St. Matthew, covering chapters I to IV, and reflects Lapide's extensive knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Syriac, and Arabic, as well as his engagement with the Church Fathers. His commentaries, which span over 30 volumes, were once the standard Catholic texts for scriptural interpretation and remain significant for their depth and scholarly rigor.
