Description: Caption: "Leaf from a Plantin Hebrew Bible, 1584 A.D., Antuerpiae: Ex officina Christophori Plantini; This Hebrew Old Testament, with interlinear Latin translation, is a reprint from the second half of volume seven in the Antwerp Polyglot. The Hebrew is taken from the Complutensian Polyglot, with an interlinear Latin translation--a revision of Sanctes Pagninus' version. For his printing of impressive and scholarly Bibles, Plantin was appointed Prototypograph, or ruler over the printers in the City of Antwerp, by Philip II of Spain. The King also secured for him a license from the Holy See, which soon brought a fortune to Plantin and his successors (Darlow and Moule 5106)--Otto F. Ege."
