1532ABC_49016Paris: Roberti Stephani = Robert Estienne 1532. Modern gold-tooled brown calf with the title lettered in gold on the spine red sprinkled edges. Folio. With Estienne's large olive-tree device on the general title page and the divisional titles of parts 3 interpretatio and 4 index a woodcut decorative border around the word "Biblia" on the general title page and 79 decorated metalcut criblé initials. 4 parts in 1 volume. Including: - Hebraica Chaldaea Graecáque & Latina nomina virorum .- Index rerum et sentiarum quae in Veteris & novi testamenti libris continentur. Second enlarged and first fully glossed edition of the famed Estienne Bible. The work is "considered the earliest genuine attempt at a critical edition of the Vulgate text. it became practically the foundation of the official Roman Vulgate" Schreiber. The first edition of this Bible was Estienne's first major work and "immediately established him as the most outstanding figure in the Paris book trade at the time" Schreiber. The present copy is complete with the glossary and index which appear as parts 3 and 4. It also includes the beautiful criblé initials by engraver Geoffroy Tory 1480-1533.Robert Estienne 1503-1559 acquired Vulgate manuscripts during his years in Paris and printed numerous editions throughout his career beginning in 1528. Unlike the first edition the present edition includes marginal references concise notes and an extensive index of significant Hebrew words. It also contains Estiennes distinctive typographical symbols indicating words present in the Hebrew text but omitted from the Latin version and vice versa. Notably this edition is the first in which Estienne placed the Acts of the Apostles between the Gospels and the Pauline Epistles rather than at the end of the volume as was then customary.With an annotation at the top of the title page another in the middle of the title page and a signature below. The front and back board are somewhat scratched. The title page has been reinforced in the margins likely with the final blank of the second part which is missing to repair the tear in the bottom half large ink stains in the inner margin of leaves 243-244 and 306-307 of the first part a tear in the outer margin of leaf 7 of part 3 minor ink thumb prints on some of the leaves each leaf has been ruled in reddish-brown ink with manicules on some of the leaves.

Remarkable for its large and well-formed heads; the bodies are robust and covered with clothes with deep and dark folds R. Branner Manuscript Painting in Paris during the Reign of Saint Louis 1977 pp. 70-71. He dates the activity of Pierre de Bar's workshop between 1230-1250 and explains its specificities by suggesting the development of its style outside Paris.The decoration of the manuscript consists of 78 historiated illuminated initials and a great number of capital letters rubricated in red or blue.This very attractive bible seems to have been made in Paris; it represents an interesting addition to the production of a workshop producing according to Branner some of the most beautiful and refined Parisian illuminations of the first half of the 13th century.We witness from the years 1220-1230 under the reign of Queen Blanche of Castile a concentration of illuminators in Paris at the expense of abbeys and provincial capitular schools. We can indeed attribute several manuscripts to Blanche of Castile who inaugurated the tradition of female patronage in the royal family. But the peak of these famous small Capetian bibles happened during the reign of Saint Louis.The subjects of the historiated initials are the following:l. l St Jerome Prologue; l. 4 The 7 days of Creation Genesis; l. 27 Moses leading his people across the Red Sea Exodus; l. 43 the Jews offering a sacrifice; l. 54 Moses preaching; l. 72 Moses receiving the Tablets of Stone; l. 89 God talking to Joshua; l. 99 Gideon holding his sword; l. 110 Elimelech and Naomi migrating to Moab Ruth; l. 112v Beheading of Eli; l. 128 Beheading of Amalekite before David; l. 141 David's servant bringing Abishag to him; l. 155v Ahaziah falling from a tower; l. 170v the Patriarchs; l. 185 Solomon enthroned; l. 202 The Construction of the Temple; l. 207 Nehemiah presenting the golden cup to Artaxerxes; l. 213v Spraying of the Temple; l. 220v Tobias; l. 225v Judith beheading Holofernes; l. 232 Ahasuerus being merciful to Esther; l. 238v Job on the manure heap; l. 251 David playing the harp; l. 256 anointing of David by Samuel; l. 258v David showing his mouth; l. 261 madman holding the stick and the bread Psalm 52; l. 264 God above David below in the water Psalm 68; l. 268 David ringing the bells Psalm 80; l. 271v Two Singers Psalm 97; l. 275 The Trinity Psalm 109; l. 283v Solomon whipping a young man; l. 294v Solomon teaching to a young man; l. 298 Madonna and Child Enthroned; l. 299v Solomon and a young man carrying a sword; l. 307v Ecclesia; l. 328 Isaiah being sawn in half; l. 353 Stoning; l. 381 Baruch writing; l. 384v Ezekiel in bed with the Tetramorph; l. 412 Daniel in the lions' den; l. 423v Hosea and Gomer; l. 427v Joel preaching to a group of Jews; l. 429v Amos offering the sheep; l. 432v God appearing to Obadiah; l. 433v Jonah in the mouth of the whale; l. 434v the teaching Prophet; l. 437 Nahum lamenting about the fall of Nineveh; l. 438v Habakkuk and the stones; l. 440 the Prophet with his scroll; l. 441v Two Prophets; l. 442v Prophet; l. 447 Two men talking; l. 449 Beheading of the idolatrous Jew; l. 466 the Messenger delivering the letter; l. 478v the Tree of Jesse; l. 494v Saint Mark with the lion; l. 505 Saint Luke with the angel; l. 521v Saint John; l. 535 Saint Paul carrying the cross; l. 541 Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 546v Saint Paul carrying a sword and a scroll; l. 551 Saint Paul carrying a sword and a book; l. 555 Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 556v Saint Paul carrying a sword and a book; l. 558 Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 559 Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 560 Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 561v Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 562v Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 561v Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 562v Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 563v Saint Paul carrying a sword; l. 564 Two men talking; l. 568v.

On peut en effet imputer plusieurs manuscrits à Blanche de Castille qui inaugura la tradition du mécénat féminin dans la famille royale. Mais l'apogée de ces célèbres petites bibles capétiennes se situe sous le règne de Saint Louis.Les sujets des initiales historiées sont les suivants :f. l St Jerome Prologue ; f. 4 Les 7 jours de la Création Genèse ; f. 27 Moïse conduit son peuple à travers la Mer Rouge Exode ; f. 43 les Juifs offrent un sacrifice ; f. 54 Moïse preche ; f. 72 Moise reçoit les tables de la Loi ; f. 89 Dieu s'adresse à Joshua ; f. 99 Gédéon tient son épée ; f. 110 Elimelech et Naomi migrent à Moab Ruth ; f. 112v Décapitation d'Eli ; f. 128 Décapitation d'Amalekite devant David ; f. 141 le serviteur de David lui amène Abishag ; f. 155v Ahaziah tombe d'une tour ; f. 170v Les trois juifs patriarches ; f. 185 Salomon intronisé ; f. 202 La Construction du Temple ; f. 207 Néhémie présentant la coupe d'or à Artaxerxès ; f. 213v Aspersion du Temple ; f. 220v Tobias ; f. 225v Judith décapitant Holopherne ; f. 232 Assuérus se montre clément envers Esther ; f. 238v Job sur le tas de fumier ; f. f. 251 David joue de la harpe ; f. 256 onction de David par Samuel ; f. 258v David montre sa bouche ; f. f. 261 fou tenant le bâton et le pain psaume 52 ; f. 264 Dieu au-dessus David dans l'eau dessous Psaume 68 ; f. 268 David sonnant les cloches Psaume 80 ; f. 271v Deux chanteurs Psaume 97 ; f. 275 La Trinité Psaume 109 ; f. 283v Salomon fouette un jeune ; f. 294v Salomon enseigne à un jeune ; f. 298 La Vierge et l'Enfant intronisé ; f. 299v Salomon et un jeune portant une épée ; f. 307v Ecclésia ; f. 328 Isaïe est scié en deux ; f. 353 Lapidation ; f. 381 Baruch écrivant ; f. 384v Ezéchiel au lit avec le Tétramorphe ; f. 412 Daniel dans la fosse aux lions ; f. 423v Osée et Gomer ; f. 427v Joel prechant à un groupe de juifs ; f. 429v Amos offre le mouton ; f. 432v Dieu apparait à Obadiah ; f. 433v Jonas dans la bouche de la baleine ; f. 434v le Prophète enseignant ; f. 437 Nahum se lamente sur la chute de Nineveh ; f. 438v Habakuk et les pierres ; f. 440 le Prophète avec son rouleau ; f. 441v Deux Prophètes ; f. 442v Prophète ; f. 447 Deux hommes en discussion ; f. 449 Décapitation du juif idolâtre ; f. 466 le Messager livre la lettre ; f. 478v l'Arbre de Jessé ; f. 494v Saint Marc avec le lion ; f. 505 Saint Luc avec l'ange ; f. 521v Saint Jean ; f. 535 Saint Paul portant la croix ; f. 541 Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 546v Saint Paul portant une épée et un rouleau ; f. 551 Saint Paul portant une épée et un livre ; f. 555 Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 556v Saint Paul portant une épée et un livre ; f. 555 Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 556v Saint Paul portant une apée et un livre ; f. 558 Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 559 Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 560 Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 561v Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. f. 562v Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 561v Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 562v Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 563v Saint Paul portant une épée ; f. 564 Deux hommes en discussion ; f. 568v.

An important New Testament edition in the Latin history of the Bible for which Benoît collated "most of the then known" medieval manuscripts Schreiber 149 seeking the most accurate readings and correcting transcription errors.

THE TENTEIKIKUN The Creator's Miracle

188650292Tokyo: Tokiwaya 1886. Very good. Scarce and exceptional first edition thus a light-hearted illustrated adaptation of the Creation and story of Adam and Eve from the Book of Genesis into Japanese. The story of Bible editions in Japan reflects the country's fraught history with Christianity; after the religion was banned in the early 17th century the portions printed by Catholic missionaries were lost. The ban on Christianity lifted only in the Meiji era first partially in 1873 then enshrined in the Constitution 1889 by means of an article on the freedom of religion. The post-Meiji Restoration translation effort of the Hebrew Bible began in 1882 and was finally completed in 1887. Books were completed and issued in parts with Genesis first issued in 1883. This heavily illustrated and lighthearted version of the two most famous stories from Genesis adapts the text to a well-established literary genre of Meiji Japan: KusazÅshi a forerunner of manga popular illustrated works in which the text weaves around the illustrations that dominate most spreads. Because they were meant for a popular audience the text is often primarily in hiragana or kanji with furigana; here the text is shown in three writing styles: kanji hiragana and romaji with furigana glosses. This presentation suggests how Christian mythology must have appeared to Japanese readers much as say Greek mythology seems to modern American readers of Homer. God is depicted as a mustachioed wise man while the serpent approaches Eve on legs. Most charmingly one spread depicts God spying on Adam and Eve with a pair of binoculars. While listed as the "first part" it is all published with no second volume ever appearing. We find only two copies at the National Diet Library and at Waseda University. 7.75'' x 5.25''. Original printed wrappers. Woodblock printed and illustrated including 16 double-page spreads. Title page matching illustrated cover printed on red metallic-speckled paper. 39 1 pages. Some staining and wear to wrappers with 2.5'' paper repair to rear wrapper verso. Black ink calligraphy to versos of both wrappers. Housed in custom blue cloth chemise. [Tokiwaya] unknown

The Holy Bible with The Making of the Bruce Rogers World Bible; Containing The Old and New Testaments Translated Out of the Original Tongues and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised

1949CNJL314Cleveland and New York: The World Publishing Company 1949. Limited First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Rogers Bruce. Two volumes the Bible one of 975 copies elephant folio size 942 pp. and Making of the Bible number 178 of 1875 copies quarto size 41 pp. The second folio Bible designed by Bruce Rogers this time for an American publisher his first was the "Oxford Lectern Bible" published in 1935 using the King James Version. No other book designer / typographer from the history of printing can claim to have designed two complete folio Bibles each one highly regarded. Bruce Rogers 1870-1957 American typographer who invented the "Centaur" tyepface based on the Renaissance-period printing of Nicolas Jenson is considered by many to be one of the greatest book designers of the twentieth century. He designed books for the Riverside Press Cambridge when he cut his first typeface "Montaigne" named for the first book it appeared in "The Essays of Montaigne" 1903; he designed "Centaur" while working as house designer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1916 he worked for the Cambridge University Press and a few years later returned to the U.S. where he met William Edwin Rudge and was employed by him at his Mount Vernon Press. During this time he also designed books for Harvard University Press and served as typographic advisor to Lanston Monotype. In 1928 Rogers returned to England where he produced what many have called "the most important and notable typographic achievement of the twentieth century" being his Oxford Lectern Bible. The present work was done during his later years but is no less formidable in both size and scope and essential to any collection of his work. ___DESCRIPTION: Original publisher's red cloth with gilt-stamped illustration to upper board lettered in gilt to backstrip top-edge gilt quarto volume in matching red cloth with similar gilt motif to upper board and gilt lettering to backstrip with original glassine jacket and housed in a blue paper slipcase numerous flourishes and initials vintage bookseller ticket on rear pastedown; types used include Fred Goudy's Deepdene Italic Forum and Oldstyle type paper is 74 lb. 75 percent white linen rag paper from Barcham Green Mill in England elephant folio size 19.25" by 14"; "Making of the Bible" quarto size 11.5" by 8.5" pagination: Bible i-vi vii-xxii xxiii-xxiv 1-941 942 1 colophon; Making of the Bible 1-4 5-19 20-41 limited first editions of both volumes with the folio being one of 975 copies and the accompanying quarto being number 178 of 1875 copies. ___CONDITION: A very good copy of the folio with some professional restoration to the backstrip/joints some minor rubbing at edges the binding with only light dustiness gilt is bright with a few rubbed spots and the interior clean other than some minor soiling to the endpapers free of prior owner markings one very short closed tear to the upper margin of the dedication page to King James; quarto fine overall with some extremely light wear to the joints at the head and tail of the spine its glassine wrapper alas fair only as the spine has perished and we only have the panels/flaps its slipcase very good plus sturdy with some overall wear. ___POSTAGE: Please note that this is an extremely large and heavy book and therefore additional postage will apply as the standard shipping charge will not cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

According to the DNB Sturt "specialized in miniature work and it was said that he could engrave the creed on a silver penny but could also work on a large scale and in 1692 he produced a notable engraving of Britannia the royal first capital ship of England printed on four sheets". Presented in a handsome King George II armorial binding. Carter notes that " . Bibles with the royal arms may have come from one of the Royal Chapels - but they may equally have come from any loyal parish church" ABC p. 157. That said a limited print run coupled with the high cost of Baskett's elaborate opus would suggest the former.In 1709 printer John Baskett secured the exclusive royal patent to print Bibles in England. Of those he and his family published this is the most magnificent being a triumph of legible elegant type that contributes to an easy readability accessible today. Alas a typographical error in the running head of Luke XX among other typos rendered the parable of the vineyard as the "parable of the vinegar" overshadowing Baskett's magnificent achievement.A scarce and stately copy of a high spot in 18th-century printing. DARLOW & MOULE 736-B "the engravings differ considerably from those in A". John Baskett unknown

Quincuplex Psalterium - Parts 4 & 5 consisting in the entire Psalterium Vetus & Psalterium Conciliatum. - THE FIRST FRENCH BOOK OF PROTESTANTISM

151359254Paris Henricus Stephanus 1513. Folio. Bound in a nice 18th century brown half calf with six raised bands to richly gilt spine. Corners slightly bumped and capitals worn especially the lower one where the capital band is showing and has loosened a bit. Inner hinge slightly weak. Front free end-paper with 18th century ink-annotation title year etc. A very light damp stain top the last portion of leaves a bit heavier to the last two leaves. Otherwise internally very nice and clean. All in all a very nice copy with only very light scattered brownspotting. Beautifully printed in two columns and in red and black throughout. Pp. 233-294. Second edition following the original of 1509 of the final two parts of Estienne's typographic masterpiece "Quincuplex Psalterium" also known as the "First book of French Protestantism". These two final parts which make up complete works in themselves consist in the "Psalterium Vetus" - the Old Latin Psalter i.e. the version used by the churches before Jerome's revisions and the "Psaltarium Conciliatum" consisting in Lefevre's own version based on the Vulgate text corrected according to the Hebrew text and using the Aristarchian signs. This spledid publication had an immense impact upon protestantism early bible-scholarship and theology in general and is famed because of its beauty elegance and typographical excellence along with its immense importance historically speaking. "Lefèvre's epoch-making work was awaited impatiently by the learned world and is the topic of many a letter among the extant humanist correspondence of the period: thus Cardinal Ximeèz the future editor of the first polyglot Bible in a letter to Charles de Bovelles praises Lefèvre's scholarship and the usefulness of his "Psalterium". This famous volume is also Henri Estienne's typographical masterpiece and is commonly singled out as one of the outstanding monuments of early 16th-century French typography." Schreiber. "Lefèvre agreed with Erasmus that theology must be based on accurate texts and translations of the Scriptures; as the title of the volume indicates Lefèvre presents five different versions of the psalms" Schreiber. As described the present copy contains the final two. The three parts that were printed before those two were all printed in three columns and consisted in the three versions of St Jerome namely the "Psalterium Romanum" Jerome's first version of the Old Latin Psalter according to the Septuagint the "Psalterium Gallicum" Jerome's second revision first adopted by the churches of Gaul and the "Psalterium Hebraicum" Jerome's translation directly from the Hebrew.

Arab text followed by Latin translation: Evangelium Sanctum Domini nostri Iesu Christi conscriptum a quatuor Evangelistis sanctis id est Matthaeo Marco Luca et Iohanne. - EDITIO PRINCEPS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT IN ARABIC

159062507Rome Typographia Medicea 1590 -1591. Folio. Completely uncut in the original blank interim wrappers with slight offsetting to verso of front wrapper. Newer paper backstrip matching the paper of the wrappers. Some leaves browned. Occasional brownspotting. An overall excellent copy. Housed in a old vellum chemise with ties and handwritten title EVANGELIUM to spine. Old amorial vague red stamp to title-page colophon and p. 97 from the Bibliotheque Impériale now Bibliotheque Nationale with a small deaccession-stamp to title-page. Magnificently illustrated with 149 large woodcut engravings in the text. 368 pp. Arabic text within double-frame border througout. Beautifully printed on very heavy paper. The scarce editio princeps of the Arabic translation of the New Testament magnificently printed in Granjon's famous font considered the first satisfactory Arabic printing type appearing here for the first time and beautifully illustrated with 149 woodcut illustrations in the text. This work constitutes the very first printing by the Typographia Medicea-press a printing-house set up by Pope Gregor XIII and Cardinal Ferdinando de Medici in order to promote and distribute Christian scriptures to the East. This splendid work is considered the first successful printing of Arabic. Apart from the Latin part of the title-page and the colophon the book is in Arabic throughout. Two issues of the work were printed almost simultaneously the Arabic-only text which has the year 1590 on the title-page and 1591 on the colophon and the interlenear Arabic-Latin edition which has 1591 on the title-page. The Arab-only edition with 1590 on the title-page is generally considered the first. "Its first great Arabic publication was this edition of the Gospels bearing the date 1590 on the title page and 1591 at the end. Two versions appeared one solely in Arabic and one with an interlinear Latin translation." Library of Congress.The work was edited by Giovanni Battista Raimondi 1536-1614 a renowned Orientalist and professor of mathematics at the College of the Sapienza in Rome. Raimondi had travelled extensively in the Middle East and had thorough knowledge of Arabic Armenian Syrian and Hebrew. He is however most famous for being the editor at the Typographia Medicea-press; together with French engraver Robert Granjon who also created the Arabic typography of the present work "bettered all previous attempts to print in Arabic in Europe and would remain unsurpassed long after the press had closed. Boogert "Medici Oriental Press Rome 1584-1614"."Antonio Tempesta the engraver cutter: Leonardo Parasole had studied under Santi di Tito and Joannes Stradanus at the Accademia del Disegno in Florence later working with Stradanus and Vasari on the interior decoration of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence before travelling to Rome where he executed various commissions including frescos for Pope Gregory XIII in the Vatican and decorations for the Villa Farnese. Simultaneously with his frescos and panel paintings he executed a large number of engravings. The illustrations for the present work are remarkable examples of Tempesta's work noteworthy for their clear composition and narrative of the episodes depicted. Despite the extremely high quality of the prints the press never became an economic success and it went bankrupt in 1610. Scholars have noticed that presenting a work with beautiful scriptural illustrations as the present to Arabic-speaking Muslims when Islam forbids religious illustration showed little understanding of the culture and almost certainly hindered Pope Gregory XIII's missionary efforts."The press was not only an intellectual enterprise; it was also a commercial one. Raimondi clearly hoped to sell his books in the East rather than the West because the selection of the works he produced showed little consideration with the type of material European scholars in this period needed. While the works failed to sell in the Ottoman Empire however they did significantly stimulate the study of the Middle East in Europe.Ferdinando de' Medici had ordered Raimondi to print 'all available Arabic books on permissible human sciences which had no religious content in order to introduce the art of printing to the Mohamedan community.' Only more than a century after the Medici Press in Rome had closed did it finally have the envisaged impact in the Levant; Ibrahim Müteferrika the first Muslim printer referring to it in his plea to the sultan to allow him to open his own printing house at Istanbul which happened in 1729." Boogert "Medici Oriental Press Rome 1584-1614".The copy was previously in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris at the time when it was entitled "Bibliothèque Imperiale" which was its name inbetween from 1849 to 1871. Thus the book entered the library in Napoleonic times and was later deaccessioned. Brunet II 1122-23Schnurrer 318Adams: B:1822 hardcover

Earlier Bible editions had contained one or the other but this was the first to unite both establishing a new editorial model soon imitated by other presses.The text edited by Bernardinus Gadolus Eusebius Hispanus and Secundus Contarenus is laid out in the manner of a legal text with multiple glossing layers and marginal apparatus. According to Paganino's own account the production of this edition cost him a total of 4000 ducats a conspicuous sum though this may be ""an exaggeration"" Bajetta pp. 3-4.Provenance: From the library of the Dominican convent of Santa Caterina a Formiello in Naples. Originally linked to the Celestine order the convent passed to friars of the Observant Dominican Congregation of Lombardy in 1499. It remained active until 1806 when it was expropriated and eventually converted into a wool factory: likely the period when its library was dispersed.ISTC ib00608000.

En folio 297 x 210mm. 14 366 1 h.; 72 214 30 138 hojas 42 pp. Importante encuadernación mudéjar de época en piel sobre tabla planos ricamente gofrados lomera restaurada en cabeza y pie sin los broches. La Biblia de Salamanca con la traducción y notas de Francisco Vatablo publicada por primera vez en París en 1545 e impresa en España en 1554 con atribución a fray Domingo de Soto de la revisión del texto prohibida y mandada retirar por la Inquisición entre los años 1554 y 1559 pero que finalmente pudo ser publicada en Salamanca en 1584. Se conoce como Biblia de Vatablo a la edición preparada por Robert Estienne de la versión Vulgata de las Sagradas Escrituras junto con la traducción latina de Sanctes Pagnino y las anotaciones y correcciones de François Vatable profesor de hebreo del Collège de France; fue impresa en París en 1545. Se trata de una Biblia única ya que contiene 2 textos en latín de la Sagrada Escritura y no uno como es común. A la primera traducción se la denomina como la traducción vieja y se trata de la primera traducción de la Biblia realizada al latín desde el hebreo y griego llamada Vulgata; la segunda traducción se la denomina como traducción nueva y contiene las ideas renacentistas. Ambas traducciones confrontan el pensamiento de la Vulgata y las correcciones de ésta entre lo antiguo y lo nuevo. La primera impresión de la Biblia de Vatablo en España fue realizada en 1554 por Andrea de Portonaris en Salamanca; fue considerada ilegal un año más tarde y se dice de ella que no hay ejemplar conocido. Esta segunda impresión de 1584 la única que pudo ver la luz fue publicada después de ser cuidadosamente revisada y expurgada por la Inquisición y un grupo de teólogos de la universidad de Alcalá llamados los hebraizantes a los que le costó la cárcel y la muerte y entre los que se encontraba Fray Luis de León. Esta Biblia editada por Gaspar de Portonaris hermano del impresor de la primera y desconocida primera versión comenzó su andadura en 1569 en un proceso de más de 100 juntas reuniendo a gran número de teólogos y que se extendió por varios años. Contiene para el Antiguo Testamento la versión de San Jerónimo y Pagnini y para el Nuevo Testamento la versión de San Jerónimo y la traducción de Erasmo junco con ciertas revisiones de Teodoro de Beza. Durante los debates hubo momentos de mucha tensión. Especialmente furibundos fueron los enfrentamientos entre Fray Luis de León profesor de Teología Prima y León de Castro profesor de Griego experto acusador de judíos y judaizantes y abiertamente enemigo de todo aquello que tuviera que ver con los textos en hebreo donde las amenazas con denunciarse mutuamente ante el Tribunal del Santo Oficio fueron constantes durante estos años de deliberaciones. En las juntas se enfrentaron dos tendencias irreconciliables lo que iba a desencadenar las persecución de los hebraístas. Finalmente Fray Luis de León y sus otros compañeros hebraístas fueron llevados ante la Inquisición encarcelados y llevados a juicio. Es precisamente durante este largo cautiverio cuando Fray Luis realiza algunas traducciones de libros y escribe varias poesías y una de sus obras más significativas De los nombres de Cristo. Finalmente en 1575 el Tribunal reconociendo el valor y la energía impuesta por Fray Luis en su defensa oral le creyó exento de toda culpa y sospecha.
