| Note 1 | Same edition as volume 7 of the Polyglot Bible: an extra number of copies of this Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament must have been printed and sold separately. In M 164 and M 296 is, indeed, listed as a separate edition 'Biblia S[ancta] cum versione S. Pagnini interlinearii f⁰ a⁰ 72, f[euilles] 209, [price:] florins Carolus guilders 10', which must refer to volume 7 of the Polyglot Bible, also quoted as having 209 sheets. And in fact, in a number of libraries, this Hebrew Old Testament - Greek New Testament is found as a separate publication. Most copies of this separate edition which we were able to verify (Staats- und Stadtbibliothek Augsburg; Royal Danish Library; Municipal Library Lyons; UL Tübingen) are exactly alike volume 7 of the Polyglot Bible, as is also one of the two copies of the Bodleian Libraries. But the other copy of the Bodleian (B 2.6 Th) presents an important variant: on the title-page of the Hebrew Old Testament the reference 'Ad regii sacri operis commoditatem apparatum' (which makes of this publication a volume of the Polyglot Bible) has been dropped, making of this particular edition a fully 'independent' publication. The title-page of the New Testament, which went with this 'adapted' Old Testament has, however, kept the reference to the Apparatus (= Polyglot Bible). |
