Bonaventure, on Sir 43:1

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Sir 43:1 · Douay-Rheims
“The firmament on high is his beauty, the beauty of heaven with its glorious shew.”
On this verse:
“And so, first of all there is the heavenly form. For Scripture makes use of all the heavens and the stars. Hence the Psalm: The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork. And Ecclesiasticus: The clear vault of the sky shines forth like heaven itself, a vision of glory.”
