Major, John. IN MATTHEU AD LITERAM EXPOSITIO. [Paris]: Ioanem Graion, [1518.] Folio. [14], 101 leaves, ending on r5 and lacking the final leaves r6 (with photographic facsimile mounted in its place) and A-C6 (the second part which is mentioned on the title but not present here.) Later calf boards rebacked, boards with English arms stamped in blind to front cover. *********** First edition of this commentary by Scottish theologian and philosopher John Major. The present copy with numerous early marginal notes in manuscript, almost certainly scribed by a Protestant who has also redacted references to the Pope in the text (with "papa" "pape" "papalis" struck through where appearing in the text.)

Boards with edgewear and small scuffs. Contents with old faded water-stains throughout (large especially nearer to the center of text), else some occasional light finger-soiling or light foxing, title soiled and repaired. As-is.
