CALASIO, MARIO DI.

Stephen Paul

Rome

1620

FIRST EDITION. Four volumes. Hebrew and Latin text. Each volume with engraved historiated title-page.

An expanded edition of Reuchlin’s Latin translation of the Meir Nethiv by R. Isaac Nathan b. Kalonymus of Arles. An Italian Minorite Friar, Mario de Calasio (1550-1620) devoted himself to Oriental languages and became an authority on Hebrew. He labored on this work for forty years. Aside from providing here each Hebrew word the exact Latin translation, de Calasio also presents any existing differences from the Vulgate or Septuagint readings.
