'''Nicholas of Lyra''' (1270-1349) was a [[Franciscan]] and a [[Biblical]] exegete, by some scholars regarded as the greatest of the fourteenth century and in the [[West]] since [[Jerome]]. He demonstrated an extensive knowledge of [[Hebrew]] and became thoroughly acquainted with the Jewish teaching in [[Talmud]]. His ''magnum opus'' was the ''Literal postill on the whole Bible''.<ref>{{cite book |title=Nicholas of Lyra: The Senses of Scripture |editors=Philip D. W.
