Introduction
— Cited as pursuing the mystical sense of Genesis; Lapide used manuscript copies later published by Andreas Schottus
"Blessed Cyril wrote five books, to which add his Glaphyra, that is, "polished gems," as if to say, a few things selected from many, in which he pursues not the literal but mostly the mystical sense."
