First Commentary Written on Matthew Ever
773 Pages Total. This is $300 anywhere else if you can find it. Both Volumes 1 and 2, this come with two books, the complete set. Beautiful Brand New Facsimile. Contents are below. Origen was a great intellectual in the third century church, and a influential member of the Greek Church Fathers, though we know he could never be a father, technically speaking. His writings covered many different subjects, including commentaries on most of the books of the New Testament and many of the Old Testament. Late in his life, in the mid-third century, he wrote a Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew. This was the first commentary ever written on this Gospel so far as we know. It covered the entire Gospel in twenty-five books. Only eight of these books have been preserved in the Greek language in which Origen wrote. A Latin translation made in the sixth century has preserved the contents of several additional books. There are, furthermore, numerous fragments from the commentary preserved in ancient writings.

“Quality matter for the mind
Well, the service works. But what I like best is books are offered in their original form. The variety is very good, too. I have now purchased two books. There are several more to be bought.”

You have other titles that are also very tempting to purchase. LOL!
I would like to leave a review but I cannot figure out how to do that. I do not see a leave review Link on the Abebooks website. Have a great weekend.”

“Some of the highlights with Baum Book Santo is that these books are historical, and I know I wouldn't be able to find them anywhere else! They are vibrantly illustrated with unparalleled handmade craftsmanship.”
“I bought this facsimile copy of the 1522 Erasmus New Testament to put on the shelf next to my facsimile copies of Tyndale's New Testament editions. This facsimile is high quality and a great value for the money, especially for what you will pay for the Tyndale editions (one by Hendrickson is out of print and the other is a premium hardback edition not produced for the mass market). I've not found this particular edition of Erasmus' NT anywhere else. If you're considering this Bible, you are probably not a novice in Ancient Greek; but if you are, a word of caution that it's not suitable for casual study. Due to the archaic printing conventions, i.e. ligatures, and to a lesser extent the Latin introductory material, it will be years until it might turn into a readable copy for me. (If you do read Latin, the Roman font is very readable.) If you're like me, you will want to have one so that you can appreciate the rich history of Classical Greek printing, and the Bible specifically. Every time I open it, it's a step back into centuries of time past.”
“Erasmus Greek-Latin 1516 ‘DELUXE’
This is jewel of book!!
Not only is rare, but, the craftsmanship is way beyond I’ve seen before.
In my opinion, the only thing that needs it’s a hardcover, other than that I think Erasmus himself would be proud of it.”
Reply: I question the luck of the Irish, but never the Armenian. You were my first customer & review. Only 30 days selling at the River Bank now on this day August the 30th, the day I turn 30. I'll never forget. Thanks so much. God Bless Armenia!
“The type face is very small, and it looks as if this is a reproduction, but I received the book in good condition and it’s decent quality. The information is in there and that’s what’s most important.”
Reply: The type face is as big as in the pictures. Not "very small" at all. It's not "Giant Print". The Book is 8" x 5.5" as described. And a reproduction of what? That's an original production by Baum Books of all 4 volumes in one book. Yea, great condition & quality, as seen in the photos. Go pay $70 for the Harry Potter book if you don't like it. We'll accept your return, just pay for the shipping.
