The question is based on an absolute falsehood, thus is impossible to answer.
1. John Wycliffe, died 1384, in 1428 he was convicted by the Council of Constance of heresy for teaching Sola Scripture. His bones were dug up and burned.

ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO* (354-430)
In those things which are clearly laid down in Scripture, all those things are found which pertain to faith and morals. (De Doct. Chr. 2:9)
Whatever you hear from them [the Scriptures], let that be well received by you. Whatever is without them refuse, lest you wander in a cloud. (De Pastore, 11)
All those things which in times past our ancestors have mentioned to be done toward mankind and have delivered unto us: all those things also which we see and deliver to our posterity, so far as they pertain to the seeking and maintaining true religion, the Holy Scripture has not passed over in silence. (Ep. 42)
Whatever our Saviour would have us read of his actions and sayings he commanded his apostles and disciples, as his hands, to write. (De Consensu Evang. 1:ult.)
Sola Scriptura!
If Augustine had lived a thousand years later he would have recanted this "heresy" or died a fiery death.
Now you know the story. To claim "Sola Scriptura" was a 16th century invention is to lie.
Where in the bible does it say, that only the bible must be adhered to? We have had so many visitations, so many people enlightened by the Holy Spirit. (I, a Catholic, enjoy Rick Warren). I can’t believe we are denied additional “lights”.
I got you beat by 680 yrs!
Clement of the Scotch Church was condemned as a heretic by a council at Soissons in March 744. He was condemned for preaching"no councils, writings, decisions of the church that are contrary to Scripture have authority over Christians."

Actually, the question was about one particular poster. “why is it that someone who is such a devout adherent to the 16th Century invention called “sola scriptura” so frequently quoting from books other than the Bible?”
But thank you for the quote from Augustine of Hippo.
I will prayerfully read this and comprehend it as best I can!
Where’s the link for the St. Augustine quotes?
You put the name of St. Augustine in bold and his quotes in bold. Then you also put “Sola Scriptura!” in bold. Do you have a citation to St. Augustine quoting him as saying “Sola Scriptura!” or was that an embellishment?
The ONLY thing they had HUS up on was Sola Scriptura?
