Note 325 — Chapter VII · THE STAR CHAMBER FOUNDERS, AND THE LONDON POLYGLOT.

“The elegant face of the Samaritan is justly attributed by Cellarius to the English, for it was first used in our Polyglot. It differs widely from the type used by Scaliger in his Emend. Temp., and by Leusden at the end of his Scholæ Syriacæ, and from another used in an encomiastic of Abr. Ecchelensis upon F. Kircher, which type belonged to the Congregation at Rome; and which was afterwards more neatly cut by Voskens” (ibid., p. 13).
