Six centuries ago, St. Vincent Ferrer, known for his preaching throughout Europe and his influence on the succession of the Crown of Aragon, was a friend and advisor to monarchs and pontiffs. His constant inspiration was The Bible, which is now presented in a special edition, based on the Latin version of St. Jerome and enriched with notes by St. Vincent Ferrer, especially on the Gospels and the letters of St. Paul.
