Matthew Poole Commentary - Who wrote it?

Matthew Poole (1624-1679) is known as the author of Annotations Upon the Holy Bible.  But some may not know that Poole completed only Genesis through the 58th chapter of Isaiah.  His death prevented his going farther.  This work several others (Nonconformist brethren)undertook to complete, namely, the 59th and 60th chapters of Isaiah, Mr. Jackson of Moulsey; the notes on the rest of Isaiah and on Jeremiah and Lamentations, Dr. Collinges; Ezekiel, Mr. Hurst; Daniel, Mr. Cooper, Minor Prophets, Mr. Hurst; the four Evangelists, Dr. Collinges; Acts, Mr. Vinke; Romans, Mr. Mayo; 1 and 2 Corinthians and Galatians, Dr. Collinges; Ephesians, Mr. Veal, Philippians and Colossians, Mr. Adams; 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Mr. Barker; Timothy, Titus, and philemon, Dr. Collinges; Hebrews, Mr. Ob. Hughes; James, Peter, Jued, Mr. Veal; three Epistles of John, Mr. Howe; Revelation, Dr. Collinges.

This work was published in 2 folio volumes in 1683.  It has been subsequently published as Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy Bible in 3 volumes.

C. H. Spurgeon said of Poole's commentary: "If I must have only one commentary, and had read Matthew Henry as I have, I do not know but what I should choose Poole. He is a very prudent and judicious commentator... not so pithy and witty by far as Matthew Henry, but he is perhaps more accurate, less a commentator, and more an expositor." [1]
