Online bibliographical references | |
Note 1 | Hebrew grammar. |
Note 2 | Very likely a reprint or adaptation of the edition issued in Paris, Martinus Juvenius (le Jeune), 1567 (the copy formerly in Museum Plantin-Moretus, B 1013, has been lost), of which even the dedicatory (dated Paris, 29 July 1567) has been reproduced. |
Note 3 | In this dedicatory interesting details are given on Martinius's methods in compiling the grammar. He quotes Petrus Ramus as one of his 'preceptors'. |
Note 4 | The mention 'I. 'Drusius recensui'' on the title-page suggests that this Dutch scholar may have somewhat arranged the text - and can have induced Plantin to publish this treatise to the benefit of the students of the Leiden University. |
Note 5 | Not listed in the Plantinian catalogues. |
Note 6 | A revised edition, with additional notes by Gulielmus Coddaeus and two other treatises of Martinius (Grammaticae Hebraeae technologia and Chaldaea grammaticae quatenus ab Hebraea differt), was published in 1591-1592 in Leiden by the Officina Plantiniana Francisci Raphelengii (a copy in Museum Plantin-Moretus, 8-471). An English translation by John Udall of the Hebrew grammar was issued by F. Raphelengius in 1593 (a copy in Museum Plantin-Moretus, 8-151). |
