‎An interesting sammelband consisting of two works respectively on commentaries on the biblical books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon (Mercier) and a commentary on the Prophet Isaiah (Moller). Heinrich Moller (also spelled Möller) was a German Lutheran theologian and historian who lived from 1530 to 1589. He is primarily known for his works in church history and theology, particularly his comprehensive chronicle of the Reformation era titled ""Historia Sacra ex Novo Testamento"" (Sacred History from the New Testament), published in 1580. This work provided a detailed account of the history of Christianity from the time of Christ to the end of the 16th century, focusing on the Protestant Reformation and its key figures. Moller's writings were influential in shaping the historical narrative of the Protestant movement during his time and beyond. Jean Le Mercier (also known as Johannes Mercerus) was a French Calvinist theologian and Hebraist who lived during the 16th century. Le Mercier was known for his expertise in Hebrew language and biblical studies. He served as a professor of Hebrew at the University of Heidelberg in Germany and later at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Le Mercier is best known for his scholarly works on the Old Testament, particularly his commentaries on various books of the Bible, which were highly regarded for their depth of analysis and linguistic insights – the present work being a fine example of this. ‎
