Derech HaKodesh – Hoc est Via Sancta... sive Biblia Sacra eleganti et maiuscula characterum forma; Torah, Neviim and Ketuvim, arranged by Elias Hutter. Hamburg: Iohannem Saxonem [Johann Saxo], 1587. One of the first Hebrew books printed in Hamburg.
This Hebrew Bible, known as Hutter's Hebrew Bible, was prepared by the Hebraist Elias Hutter, professor of Hebrew at the Leipzig University. Hutter aspired to produce a Bible which would be easy to read, and would facilitate the study of Hebrew. He therefore printed it using two different types – the root letters were printed in regular, thick type, whilst the inflectional letters were printed in hollow type. The root letters which do not appear in the word were completed above it in small type.
The editor's foreword in Latin is featured at the beginning of the book, including two tables of Hebrew grammar, with explanations in Latin, and a verse from Psalm 117 in 30 languages.
Handwritten Latin glosses on several leaves. Ownership inscription on front endpaper.
[6] leaves, 1135, [1], 1141-1572 pages. Mispagination. 38 cm. Paper partially browned. Good-fair condition. Stains. Worming and minor marginal open tears to title page and to several other leaves, not affecting text. Title page and several other leaves detached. Stamps. Early wood and leather binding, with clasp remnants. Worming and defects to binding (open tear to spine).
Without Latin work on Hebrew grammar, by Elias Hutter and David Wolder, printed with the book and bound with it in some copies.

Arbaa VeEsrim, with commentary in Italian, all four parts – Five Books of the Torah, Neviim Rishonim, Neviim Acharonim and Ketuvim. Venice: Bragadin, [1739-1741]. All four parts in two volumes, additional volume with extra copy of Ketuvim.
Elaborate edition of the Bible, with a brief Italian commentary, prepared and published by Isaac Foa (printer in Bragadin's press). The present copy is a complete set including all four parts in two volumes – Torah and Neviim Rishonim in one volume, and Neviim Acharonim and Ketuvim in the second volume. Each part opens with an engraved frontispiece depicting figures from the Bible, produced by Francesco Griselini, designer of an illustrated Esther scroll which was published several years later in Venice. Each frontispiece consists of an elaborate engraving within a decorative engraved border (printed in two stages – first the borders and then the engravings in center). The central engravings depict the Binding of Isaac (part I); the figures of Joshua, Samuel and David (part II); Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel (part III); King David praying reciting Psalms (part IV). In some copies, the central engravings were printed in sepia; in the present copy they were printed in black.
In part I, a general title page, followed by an additional, more detailed title page. Divisional title pages for Neviim Rishonim and Ketuvim (title page of Neviim Acharonim lacking in the present copy).
Handwritten leaves enclosed in the book, with various prayers and more, in Italian script.
Three volumes. Vol. I (Torah and Neviim Rishonim): 9, 14-20, 17-21, [3]; 148; 108 leaves. Vol. II (Neviim Acharonim and Ketuvim): [1], 130-228, 209-223; [2], 225-348 leaves.

Stains, including dampstains. Wear to some leaves. Tears to general title page and several other leaves, including minor open tears, slightly affecting text. Margins of some title pages and engravings reinforced with paper. Several detached and loose leaves. Old leather bindings, worn and damaged (open tears to spines of first two volumes).
