John Price was born in London and educated at Oxford, though he neither matriculated nor graduated due to his Catholicism. He obtained a doctoral degree abroad, probably in civil law. Later he was made a professor of Greek at the University of Pisa, where he produced most of his scriptural commentaries. These were published at London in 1660. Price was regarded by his contemporaries as a most fine scholar. [Attributes: Soft Cover]
