Rabanus Maurus · c. A.D. 780–856
Matt 23:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.”
On this verse:
“It should be noted, that He does not forbid those to whom this belongs by right of rank to be saluted in the forum, or to sit or recline in the highest room; but those who unduly desire these things, whether they obtain them or not, these He enjoins the believers to shun as wicked.”
