Description: Caption: "Leaf from a Stephanus Hebrew Bible, 1544-1546 A.D., Paris: Ex officina Roberti Stephani; This Hebrew Bible was compiled and printed in seventeen 16 mo. volumes by the greatest scholar-printer of all times, Robert Stephanus; it was based on the text of Jacob Chayim of Tunis. Francis I appointed Robert Stephanus king's printer for Latin, Greek, and Hebrew in recognition of the accuracy and beauty of his texts. The fine Hebrew characters used in the publication have been attributed to the distinguished Venetian letter-founder Guillaume le Be and supposedly were paid for by the king--Otto F. Ege."
