THE FIRST TEHILIM PRINTED IN FRANCE.
ONE OF ONLY TWO HEBREW BOOKS PRINTED IN LYON.
A scholarly edition incorporating the major translations of the Book of Psalms:
Jerome’s Vulgate version was completed in the 4th century and the famed Septuagint (“Translation of the Seventy Elders”) dates from the 3rd century.
Several unofficial enterprises at producing a version of the Scriptures as a standard of accuracy were undertaken in the 16th century, but it was not until the Clementine Edition of 1592 that the Catholic Church accepted an authorized version.
Sanctes Pagninus was one of the foremost Hebraists of the age. His greatest achievment was his Latin version of the Bible, of which the Old Testament was the first since Jerome to be based directly on the original Hebrew. His notation of Chapter and Verse has been retained until the present day.
