Beschreibung

First edition, 4to, pp. [18], 140, 147, [3]; decorated initials, elaborate woodcut head- and tail-pieces throughout; somewhat later half art vellum and paste-paper covered wooden boards, a little chipped and soiled with negligible spotting and browning of text. With the late 19th-C. bookplate of Haverford College mounted to the front pastedown. Two parts in one, the first consisting of the polyglot in double column; the second, a gathering of 43pp. of notes in Hebrew, 11pp. "Buxtorfius in Clave Maforae," and from pp. 55-147, a Glossarium Linguarum Orientalium Octuplex: Hebraicum, Chaldaicum, Syriacum, Samaritanum, Arabicum, Aethiopicum, Persicum, et Rabbinicum.(with separate title-page) by Andrea Othone. The text, largely derived from the Walton Polyglot (1655-1657) covers the first four chapters of Genesis, and is extremely interesting typographically in its use of exotic types for the eight oriental scripts it utilizes.
