Abstract

Elio Antonio de Nebrija was one of the most prominent authors to put into practice in Spain the new exegetical practice in the context of European Christian humanism and the renewal of biblical philology, initiated by Lorenzo Valla and Erasmus of Rotterdam. However, he was forced to write an Apology to justify himself for making use of the philological method applied to the explanation of Holy Scripture.


Lemma XXXIX of the Tertia Quinquagena, Sedere ad dextram, is analysed as an example of the method of interpreting obscure passages of Scripture with the help of human letters and making them comprehensible to the readers of his time
