Description
Proverbia Salomonis. Ecclesiastes. Cantica canticorum, 1566, 1-206 pages COMPLETE. Vellum boards in poor shape with library tape holding binding together. Interesting writing on the reverse of the covers and they can be peeled by to see this interesting document re used. Odd oil? stain prominent to the second half of the book.
What the 1566 volume contains
Each book is printed in Hebrew only, following traditional Masoretic order:
Proverbia Salomonis — moral sayings attributed to Solomon
Ecclesiastes — philosophical reflections on the vanity of worldly things
Cantica Canticorum — lyrical love poetry, interpreted allegorically in Jewish and Christian traditions
Why this 1566 edition is important
1. A major example of Renaissance Hebrew printing
Plantin’s Hebrew types were among the finest in Europe. His 1566 Hebrew Bible editions are prized for accuracy and beauty.
2. Connected to the Bomberg tradition
Plantin’s Hebrew Bibles follow the textual and typographic model established by Daniel Bomberg in Venice—still the basis for modern Hebrew Bibles.
3. Designed for scholars and Hebraists
The 16mo format made these books ideal for:
Christian Hebraists
rabbis
university students
