John Trapp (1601-1669) was an English Puritan clergyman and schoolmaster (Christ Church, Oxford; headmaster and later rector at Weston-on-Avon and Welford, Warwickshire), best known for his Commentary or Exposition upon the Old and New Testaments, published in instalments between 1647 and 1662 and covering every book of the Bible. It is a verse-by-verse commentary, prized for its terse, epigrammatic style and its enormous range of classical, patristic, and contemporary quotation and anecdote packed into each note.
