  • Résumé : MS 203 contains Postilla litteralis in nouum testamentum by Nicholas of Lyre OFM (1270-1340). His biblical commentaries, which also included the Old Testament, were very popular in the later centuries of the Middle Ages and the early modern period. A large number of manuscript and early printed copies survive. The manuscript dates to the first quarter of the fifteenth century and was donated by Thomas Fawscet.
