About this Item

Folio, 6 parts in 1; pp. [8], 186, [2]; 128; collating: 4, A-Y4, Z6; Aa-Qq4; woodcut device on title page; bound with: Biblica Hebraica, Antverpiae, 1584 [Hebrew-Latin Old Testament, Greek-Latin Apocrypha, etc. in various pagings from back of book], viz.: pp. [20], 183, [1]; 283, [1]; 84; 203, [1]; collating (from the back): ?4, ? 6, A-O6, P8; a-x6, y-z8, aa-gg6, AA-RR6; (in all, 551 leaves); text in double column in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin; early 18th century calf, blindstamped panels on covers, red morocco label on spine; covers with dampstains, corners bumped and showing, small cracks starting at the extremities of the joints, occasional light minor dampstaining, but in all a very good and reasonably sound copy. Terminal flyleaf with elaborately penned inscription: "Isaac Sharpe [flourishes] dono Patris 1719." On the rear pastedown is Sharpe's early "Coll. Mag." bookplate dated April 4, 1683 - possibly the date of his matriculation at Magdalene College, Cambridge. The Greek N.T. starts at the beginning of the volume, and the Hebrew O.T. at the end, with the Greek Apocrypha of 128 pages between them. Each Testament has its own title page, and the mention of the Apocrypha on both suggests that it was intended to form an appendix to either of the Testaments if they were issued separately. See Darlow & Moule 4645 and 5106: "This forms the latter half of the complete Bible in the original languages, with an interlinear Latin translation; the whole reprinted from the Antwerp polyglot"; Voet A2 (p. 320).
