"EYES TO THE BLIND."
Alfonso Tostato, an Archbishop of Alcalá de Henáres in the Middle Ages,
wrote some commentaries on the Bible which were regarded as a work of
great piety and erudition. Difficult passages were elucidated with so
much plainness, that it was said metaphorically in his epitaph, that
his works enabled the blind to see [74], which sentence getting to be
reported among the common people, it was confidently believed that
in virtue of the services rendered by his works to the Word of God,
any blind person who could be brought within reach of his writings
would be instantly restored to sight.
