BIBLE, Hebrew. [Pentateuch-Paralipomenon], [Paris: Robert Estienne, psalter dated 7 May 1565]. 13 parts in 9 volumes, 16°. Ruled in red throughout, titles in Latin and Hebrew, text solely in Hebrew, 5 (of 10) blanks as listed by Adams. 18th-century calf, gilt edges (rather rubbed, most spines worn, many labels lacking).
The collation of this copy conforms to Adams B1224 in every way except that V8 in the Psalter in the copies at Cambridge is blank whereas in this copy it contains the colophon 'Excudebat Rober-/tus Stephanus, ty-/pograph. Regius,/Parisiis, An. M. D./LXV. Non. Mai.' Is it possible that the L and X of the date were transposed and that this does constitute Robert Estienne's edition of 1544-46? Not apparently in Darlow and Moule. (9)
