First edition of this very copious Psalter commentary. With this work Musculus laid the foundation for subsequent Protestant exegesis of the Psalter. Musculus (Meusslin, 1497-1563) was a gifted preacher who studied at Strassburg with Capito and Bucer and played an important role in their efforts to reunite the various Protestant factions in Germany and Switzerland. - Adams M2010; VD 16 ZV1677.€ 280
