This work by La Croix is a commentary on the "Medulla Theologiae Moralis" by Hermann Busenbaum, a Jesuit theologian whose "Medulla" became a manual of moral theology taught in seminaries. This commentary has become one of the most remarkable theological works of the 18th century. - NICCOLAI (Alfonso): Il Tobia dissertazioni d'Alonso Niccolai.

This text is part of the "Leçons d'Écriture Sainte", published in Florence between 1756 and 65 in thirteen volumes: "They are learned Dissertations in which the sacred text is explained in the form of paraphrases". The author tries to imitate Boccaccio. Niccolai was born in Lucca in 1706 and lived for a long time in Rome and Florence. A Jesuit, he was a renowned interpreter of the Holy Scriptures and had the title of imperial theologian of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. He died in 1784.
