Ege Famous Bibles Leaf 18

Abstract

This image is from a collection created by Etta Hanson and given to the College in 1954. All items are from Otto Ege's estate. The leaf was contained and mounted in a mat created by Otto Ege, as were all other leaves in this collection. There is a typed description at the bottom of the mat, which reads: "Venetiis Ex Officina Iustinianea. Hebrew text edited by Corelius Adelking, one of the few available Hebrew scholars and correctors of the press in Italy at this time. The Latin text, edited by Sebastian Munster, exercised considerably influence on various written by contemporary reformers in England and Switzerland. Next to Bomberg’s, Giustiniani’s Hebrew books were the finest printed in sixteen century. (Darlow and Moule 5094)"
