Liber psalmorum Davidis. Annotationes in eosde[m] ex Hebræor - Lot 122
Liber psalmorum Davidis. Annotationes in eosde[m] ex Hebræorum commentariis. Lutetiae, Ex officina Rob. Stephani, 1546. 1 vol. in-8. Full contemporary calf, gilt decoration with a floral bouquet held by a hand in the centre of the boards, triple cold fillet with corner fleuron, spine ribbed, gilt fleurons (including fleur de lys) in the boxes, cold cross decoration at the head and foot of the spine. 232ff, 24ff. Regulated copy. Printer's marks on titles. Printing on two columns. Followed by the second part, with its own title page: Cantica quae in Bibliis sparsim leguntur. Annotationes in eadem ex Hebræorum commentariis. Date on the colophon: "M.D.XLVI. IIII. Cal. Mart." Critical edition of the Psalms of David, which earned Robert Estienne the wrath of the Sorbonne. As for the notes, they could only betray his sympathies for the Reformation. The edition was obviously condemned, along with the Bible of 1545, also translated by Judah, and Robert Estienne was called Calvinianus, Hæreticus primæ classis (Renouard, 63). Four years later, weary of his constant struggle with the Sorbonne, Robert Estienne emigrated to Geneva. > Manuscript bookplate on title page: "Lebègue". Renouard, Estienne, 66, no. 4. Mark with bouquet in the centre of the boards. Two small holes with damage to a few letters on fol. 171. Lacking the headpieces reaching the caissons, corners dull. Staining and discoloration on the boards.
