E-sword moduals

[Booster]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering what the possibilities might be to post the commentary of Cornelius Lapide as part of an E-sword module, for those who have the expertise to do so., The Gospel commentaries are posted on line at:

http://www.archive.org/details/commentary00lapiuoft

and also at-

http://www.catholicapologetics.info/...ent/Lapide.htm

The second listed is much better formatted.

Of course it is quite incomplete, but even this would be of benefit to Catholic apologists.

I might be able to do this, but it has to wait for me to at least finish "A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture" I have at least 1-3 months to go on this. Plus either before this or after I am looking at doing the nicene and post nicene fathers. I will have to weigh this. It would be nice if someone could jump in to do the nicene or post nicene fathers instead, they can be done as a topical.

But tell me who is Lapide, I can see that it is very much Catholic and appears to be quite good. I have never heard of this commentary up until now. It is though only a portion of the NT.

I have just answered my own question from the 1910 Catholic encyclopedia

Cornelius Cornelii a Lapide
(Cornelis Cornelissen van den Steen)Jesuit and exegete, b. at Bocholt, in Flemish Limburg, 18 December, 1567; d. at Rome, 12 March, 1637. He studied humanities and philosophy at the Jesuit colleges of Maestricht and Cologne, theology first, for half a year, at the University of Douai, and afterwards for four years at Louvain; he entered the Society of Jesus, 11 June, 1592, and, after two years' noviciate and another year of theology, was ordained priest 24 December, 1595. After teaching philosophy for half a year, he was made professor of Holy Scripture at Louvain in 1596 and next year of Hebrew also. Twenty years later, in 1616, he was called to Rome in the same capacity, where, on the 3rd of November, he assumed the office which he filled with such renown for many years after. The latter years of his life, however, he seems to have devoted exclusively to finishing and correcting his celebrated commentaries. He was a sincerely pious and zealous priest and an exemplary religious. During his professorship at Louvain he liked to spend his holidays preaching and administering the sacraments, especially at the pilgrimage of Scherpenheuvel (Montaigu). With moving simplicity and truth he portrayed himself in an emotional prayer to the Prophets at the end of his commentary on Daniel: "For nearly thirty years I suffer with and for you with gladness the continual martyrdom of religious life, the martyrdom of illness, the martyrdom of study and writing; obtain for me also, I beseech you, to crown all, the fourth martyrdom, of blood. For you I have spent my vital and animal spirits; I will spend my blood too." With his brethren in religion at Rome he enjoyed so high a reputation for sanctity that, when he died, they gave him a separate burial place, in order to be the more certain of finding his bones when eventually, as they hoped, he should receive the honour of beatification.Cornelius a Lapide wrote ample commentaries on all the books of the Catholic Canon of Scripture, with the exception only of Job and the Psalms. Even before leaving Flanders, he edited the "Commentaries in omnes divi Pauli epistolas" (1614) and, "in Pentateuchum" (1616), both at Antwerp. The commentaries on the Greater and Lesser Prophets, on the Acts of the Apostles, the Canonical Epistles and the Apocalypse, Ecclesiasticus and the Proverbs, followed later on. The rest were edited only after his death; but all of them have been several times re-edited, both separately and collectively. Of the Commentary on the Epistles of St. Paul he himself was permitted to see at least eleven editions. The complete series, with Job and the Psalms added by other hands, appeared at Antwerp, 1681, 1714; at Venice, 1717, 1740, 1798; at Cologne, 1732; at Turin, 1838; at Lyons, 1839-42, 1865 and 1866; at Malta, 1843-46; at Naples, 1854; at Lyons and Paris, 1855 and 1856; at Milan, 1857; at Paris, 1859-63. The best-mentioned edition has been enriched by Crampon and Péronne with annotations from more recent interpreters. All these commentaries are on a very large scale. They explain not only the literal, but also the allegorical, tropological, and anagogical sense of the sacred text, and furnish a large number of quotations from the Fathers and the later interpreters of Holy Writ during the Middle Ages. Like most of his predecessors and contemporaries, a Lapide intends to serve not only the historical and scientific study of the Bible, but, even more, the purposes of pious meditation, and especially of pulpit exposition. An extract from the commentary on the Acts appeared in 1737 at Tyrnau, under the title: "Effigies Sancti Pauli, sive idea vitæ apostolicæ". A large work in 4 vols., "Les trésors de Cornelius a Lapide: extraits de ses commentaires de l'écriture sainte à l'usage des prédicateurs, des communautés et des familles chrétiennes", by the Abbé Barbier, was published at Le Mans and Paris, 1856, re-edited at Paris, 1859, 1872, 1876, 1885, 1896; and an Italian translation of the same by F. M. Faber, appeared at Parma, 1869-70, in 10 vols., 16 mo.These numerous editions show how highly these works are estimated by Catholics. But Protestant voices have joined in the appreciation. G. H. Goetzius (Leipzig, 1699) wrote an academical dissertation, "Exercitatio theologica de Cornelii a Lapide Commentariis in Sacram Scripturam", in which he praises the Jesuit author as the most important of Catholic Scriptural writers. An English translation of the complete commentaries was undertaken by the Rev. Thomas W. Moseman, an Anglican clergyman, under the title, "The great Commentary of Cornelius a Lapide" (London, 1876–). A manuscript in the Vatican Library contains an Arabic translation of the Commentary on the Apocalypse, by Yusuf ibn Girgis (beginning of the eighteenth century). The same Maronite writer is said to have translated the Commentary on the Epistles of St. Paul.-----------------------------------     TERWECOREN, Cornelius a Lapide in Collection de précis historiques (Brussels, 1857), 610-14, 636-45; DE BACKER AND SOMMERVOGEL, Bibl. de la c. de J.

Thank you for this suggestion. This is quite good, but will take some work in making it acceptable for esword, most of the Bible references use roman numerals, and esword will not recognize it for versifying theses within esword. Thes are all quite long, and will take a substantial prep time but I believe they are excellent and well worth the time. I will begin work on this as soon as am finished with the "A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture" is completed.

This will take some time, and I hope that they will add more of lapides commentary to that web site so as at least the NT could be completed for esword. People give the web site some encouragement to continue the work on the lapide commentary
http://www.catholicapologetics.info/...ent/Lapide.htm

David Gaither has agreed to try to create a top esword module for the nicene and post nicene church fathers many thanks to him, with that and as soon as I finish the below dictionary module for A Catholic Commentary on Scripture I will start on "The Great Corneilius Lapide (Catholic ) Commentary"

I have finished earlier than I thought with many hours devoted to completing the commentary section for:

"A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture"
A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture (1951) esword mod.zip
Esword module commentary--Ιncludes OT, NT and Deuterocanonical Books commentary on the Bible. Result of nine years' work (1940s) by a group of scholars, who believe that biblical learning must be integrated with traditional Christianity if it is to bear any spiritual fruit. object of the Commentary is to open to the reader the true sense, the doctrinal importance and, as far as may be, the spiritual value and marvellous beauty of the Word of God.
This is now available for download at http://www.esnips.com/web/CatholicApolegetics

I still must create a dictionary module for "A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture"
I am guessing about 1 up to 2 months for completion

For all interested parties::

Many Thanks to Terence Sangeet Anthon for his hard work in this endeavor.
I have just uploaded the following to the web for esword modules:

1910 New Catholic Dictionary.zip
One of the Most thorough and concise Catholic Dictionaries ever produced...1910 version of the New Catholic Dictionary online. The Dictionary has thousands of short articles that clearly, simply explain aspects of Catholic life and influence. Many of the topics concern day to day things, practices and terms that are passing into obscurity, but deserve better. 8101 entries 918 of 1035 pages (88.69%) completed on Line

http://www.esnips.com/web/CatholicApolegetics/?flush=1



Soon to load up a dictionary module on saints, and a dictionary module on Herasies within the church through out the ages.

as soon as I am done with "A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture" Dictionary I will start work on the portion of the NT available on Line for "THE GREAT BIBLICAL COMMENTARY
OF CORNELIUS À LAPIDE " What is available is awesome...
Cornelius a Lapide created a Scripture Commentary so complete and scholarly that it was practically the universal commentary in use by Catholics. Protestant voices have joined in the appreciation. G. H. Goetzius (Leipzig, 1699) wrote an academical dissertation,"Exercitatio theologica de Cornelii a Lapide Commentariis in Sacram Scripturam", in which he praises the Jesuit author as the most important of Catholic Scriptural writers. An English translation of the complete commentaries was undertaken by the Rev. Thomas W. Moseman, an Anglican clergyman, under the title, "The great Commentary of Cornelius a Lapide" (London, 1876–).

I am presently working on a dictionary module for "A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture"
I am guessing about 2 up to 4 months for completion

All:

Over the next two months, I'll be listing roughly 3,000 e-Sword resources, on the e-Sword wiki. (http://e-sword.wetpaint.com )

One thing that will be included in the description of the resource, is a one or two word subject heading. (There will be several "subject" headings for each resource.)

Can somebody either point me to an existing taxonomy for Catholic material, or email one to me, or put it up on the e-Sword wiki ?

There have been some problems with the "BIBLE AND COMMENTARIES.CHM" Working after download. I have found that the file seems to have been damaged by the upload or download or both. I have zipped the file and re uploadd the file back on the site as a zipped file. You will have to extract the file once downloaded. seems to work fine after that. In any case

For Mac Users, I have found a site that may be of help in making esword available for Mac users

http://www.davidcox.com.mx/eswordmodules/Esword_MAC.htm

David Cox's E-Sword on the MAC (Apple MacIntosh)
Overview and Clarification statement

First of all let me say that I am a PC guy, and I don't even own a MAC, so take all of this accordingly.

I have received an email from James Wiggins about his website which uses an interface program so that you can run e-Sword on the MAC.

Please go to his site http://www.whatisrazar.com/macesword/ to see further details.
How this is possible

I am not a programmer either, but I will give you the basics of how the technology works. This is similar to what Linux uses to run PC programs which is called WINE. (There is nothing alcoholic about this.) WINE is a layer or a program between the operating system and the program. In the case of this program, James Wiggins has made such a program which layers itself between the PC program and the MAC operating system so that the two can work together on a MAC. Give me feed back on this

If you are a MAC user and want to try this, please send me an email at tech and then the @ sign, and then davidcox.com.mx. I am interesting in hearing your comments.
