"Cette édition, quoique moins belle que la précédente, lui est préférée pour l'usage, à cause des augmentations qu'elle contient, et parce quelle a été plus exactement corrigée.

"On this wonderful performance the voice of criticism has been uniformly favourable. No praise can transcend its merits. Various are the authorities, both in this country and on the Continent, which have spoken of it in a grateful and commendatory manner. 'This Polyglot,' says Michaelis, 'is of the utmost importance to a critic, not only on account of the extracts which it

contains from a variety of important MSS., but particularly on account of the Oriental versions from which he must collect important readings to the New Testament, etc." "—Dibdin.

"Cette Polyglotte est celle, qu'on recherche d'avantage, parce qu'elle est plus complète et plus correcte que les autres, et qu'elle contient neuf langues differentes. Les savants qui, après Walton et le D. Castelli, ont le plus contribué à sa publication, soit en revoyant les textes, ou en les traduisant, soit en fournissant d'importantes collations, soit enfin en aidant l'editeur de leurs conseils, sont l'archevêque Usher, Herbert Thorndike, Edw. Pococke, Th. Greaves, Abrah. Wheelock, Sam. Clarke, Dudley Loftus, Th. Hyde, Alex. Huish, Th. Pierce, &c."-Brunet.

"This Polyglot of the utmost importance to a critic, not only on account of the extracts which it contains from a variety of important MSS., but particularly on account of the Oriental versions, from which he must collect various readings to the New Testament. Though several of the MSS. which are quoted in the Polyglot have since that time been more accurately collated, and no one would now have recourse to that edition for the readings of the Codex Alexandrinus or Cantabrigiensis; yet some of the MSS. which Usher had collected, have never since been examined, Mill and Wetstein having inserted those readings in their collections as they found them in the Polyglot. Now, as errors of the press are unavoidable, especially in a work like Wetstein's, it is necessary to have recourse to the Polyglot whenever a doubt arises in regard to the accuracy of a quotation by Mill or Wetstein, in order to see whether these MSS., which were collated for the London Polyglot, have the readings in question or not.”—Bp. Marsh's Michalis. 1872 BIBLIA SACRA POLYGLOTTA, Textus Archetypos Versionesque præcipuas ab Ecclesia antiquitùs receptas necnon Versiones recentiores Anglicanam, Germanicam, Italicam, Gallicam et Hispanicam, complectentia, accedunt Prolegomena in Textum, Archetyporum, Versionumque Antiquarum Crisin Literalem, auctore Samuele Lee, 2 vols. 4to.

In this edition of the New Testament, the editor has given a copy of the Hebrew Text, similar to that of his celebrated edition of the Old Testament Scriptures in Hebrew; the great peculiarity of which is, that the serviles are indicated by the letters being formed in the open character. By this means, together with the plan adopted of supplying, in a diminutive character, those letters of the root that are dropped, the work, especially to the Hebrew student, is rendered invaluable. 1875 JONAH POLYGLOTT.

BIBLIA BOHEMICA: Biblii Kzecka, folio, many woodcuts, a remarkably fine tall copy, in the original binding, £6. 6s

Venetiis, in edibus Petri Liechtenstein, 1506 Title and some leaves at the beginning and end mended; the Register, after the Colophon consists of 3 leaves only, and is apparently imperfect, the copy is therefore sold not subject to collation. This version for the use of the Hussites, by Benatska, is not mentioned by Brunet. This Bohemian work, printed at Venice, is even scarcer than the Illyrian Preces and the Breviarium Croaticum twice printed by the Andreas Asulanus in the same city. Consult Ungar, and the various notices by the bibliographers Le Long, Goetze, Clement, Videkind, Kleich, and Elsner, who all speak unequivocally of its rarity and value.

The only Catalogues in which I have traced copies of this rare Bible are those of Thorpe ; he stated in his earliest Catalogue, without date, that no other copy but his, priced, mor. £16. 168, exists in this country; re-priced, 1834, £25.; 1836 and 1840, mor. £21.
