Theodore Beza a French Reformed Protestant theologian and Calvinist produced one Latin and four Greek-Latin editions of the New Testament in his lifetime working carefully through extant Greek manuscript sources. Estiennes great glossed Latin Bible of 1556/57 thus contained the translation of the Old Testament by Dominican philologist Sante Pagnini or Pagninus 14701536 first printed in 1528. Based on the Hebrew Pagninis text is in the center of each page and Bezas translation from the Greek is in smaller type to the side with commentary and alternate readings underneath. The Estienne-Beza Latin Bible with its copious notes and ties to Calvinist theology was of considerable importance in the early modern era. The 20 woodcut biblical illustrations were first used in an Estienne edition of the Bible printed in Paris in 1540. This copy beautifully bound in a Dutch vellum enjoyed placement in one of the finest libraries in Britain from around the mid-18th century. See also Renouard 'Estienne' p. 87; cf.
