This second Hutter edition is rarer than the first. A marvel of typography, Hutter has boldened the root letters (shorashim) of each word, leaving the rest of the word in hollow type. Furthermore, when a root letter in any word does not appear, it is printed in small type above the line. Concerning “Hutter’s Hebrew Bible” see H.C. Zafren, E. Hutter’s Hebrew Bibles in: J. Bloch Memorial Volume (New York, 1960), pp. 29-39 * This copy bound with: MUENSTER, SEBASTIAN.
