Postillæ in totam Bibliam

Description

"Hugh of Saint-Cher († 1263) was the second Dominican Master of Theology in Paris, and the first Dominican cardinal" (n. 39) who, "through the persuasion of Master [St.] Albert [the Great]", convinced "John of Vercelli, Master General of the [Dominican] Order" to accept St. Thomas Aquinas into "the Baccalaureate at the Order’s studium in Paris." (William of Tocco’s Life of St. Thomas Aquinas pp. 61-62).

"Hugh is celebrated for his prodigious theological and exegetical works, particularly the monumental commentary on the entire Bible (Postillæ in totam Bibliam) that he composed with a team of friars." (ibid. p. 62n39).
