Note 307 — Chapter VII · THE STAR CHAMBER FOUNDERS, AND THE LONDON POLYGLOT.
Reading edition
The first project of a Polyglot Bible is due to Aldus Manutius, who, probably between 1498 and 1501, issued a specimen-page containing the first fifteen verses of Genesis, in collateral columns of Hebrew, Greek and Latin. The typographical execution is admirable. A facsimile is shown in Renouard’s Annales de l’Imprimerie des Aldes, 2nd and 3rd editions.
