summary

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. Shilush Leshonoth, Dictionarium Trilingue [tri-lingual dictionary in Latin, Greek and Hebrew-Chaldaic (Aramaic)]. Wih preface by Muenster. pp. (261). [Vinograd, Basle 104 (mistakenly lists pp.238, his copy lacked the appendix found here); Prijs 109]. Basle, Henricus Petri, 1562
ff. (128). Browned, title remargined, apparently inserted from another copy. Old calf, rubbed. Folio
