He defended the purity of the transmitted Masoretic text of the Torah against the views of the Oratorian Morinus ( Jean Morin) on the use of the Samaritan Pentateuch, expressed in his ''Exercitationes Ecclesiasticae'' (1631). De Muis attacked Morinus in his ''Assertio Veritatis Hebraicae'' (1631 and 1634) and his ''Castigatio Animadversionum Morini'' (1639).

Critici Sacri
''Critici sacri'' was a compilation of Latin biblical commentaries published in London from 1660, edited by John Pearson. The publisher was Cornelius Bee. The work appeared in nine volumes, and collected numerous authors, both Protestant and Catholic, of early modern critical work on the Bible.

It is largely the work of Saint Jerome who, in 382, had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Gospels used by the Roman Church.

The Vulgate became progressively adopted as the Bible text within the Western Church. Over succeeding centuries, it eventually eclipsed the texts. By the 13th century it had taken over from the former version the designation (the "version commonly used") or for short. The Vulgate also contains some ''Vetus Latina'' translations that Jerome did not work on.
