Jean-Baptiste du Hamel was a French cleric and physicist who published numerous scientific treatises and works on natural history in his lifetime. His last major work and his crowning achievement was his editorial work done on the Latin Vulgate Bible his Grande Bible to which he added an introduction notes and chronological historical and geographical tables with the assistance of the bible scholar Giuseppe Bianchini 1704-1764. The Vulgate edition of the Bible had already undergone significant revisions by Pope Sixtus V in 1590 and Clement VIII in 1592 and this version which Du Hamel worked from is sometimes called the Sixtine-Clementine version. Du Hamels Biblia Sacra was first printed in Paris in 1705 only one year before his death. Balleoniana editions of the Vulgate Bible appeared in 1731 1741 1760 here and 1779. This esteemed Venetian press was known for printing finely produced religious works; the Old and New Testament woodcuts are a remarkable collection of biblical imagery. This copy retains the early ownership inscription of a priest in Coimbra and seems to have enjoyed a long monastic scholarly life at a Benedictine Jesuit house in Braga Portugal. Together they comprise a complete set two magnificent mammoth folios of the revised Du Hamel Bible a classic for examining biblical criticism and interpretation in the eighteenth century. This edition quite rare; OCLC located copies a few copies in the US at Ohio Univ. Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon and Benedictine College in Kansas. <br/><br/> Ex Typographia Balleoniana hardcover
