AN ATTRACTIVE COPY OF AN IMPORTANT BIBLE EDITION. “In this edition the root letters are printed in thick type and the inflectional letters in hollow type; and when a root letter in any word does not appear, it is printed in small type above the line.” Darlow & Moule 5108. “An extraordinarily ambitious feat of scholarship.” See D.S. Berkowitz, In Rememberance of Creation: Evolution of Art and Scholarship in the Medieval and Renaissance Bible (1968) no.171
