Holcot was read all over Europe as an exegete, an explicator of biblical texts, especially the Old Testament sapiential books.
This volume presents a selection, nearly a quarter of the whole, from Holcot's readings in the minor prophets, originally delivered in the 1330s as lectures in Oxford's Dominican studium.
