1539 1ed Rob Estienne HEBREW OT Bible Habakkuk Jewish Kimchi Commentary Judaica
An exceedingly rare 16th-century Hebrew Bible printed in Paris by Robert Estienne. In 1540, Robert Estienne, published a Hebrew Bible, of the minor prophets, which included David Kimchi’s commentary and edited by Vatablus. This medieval commentary was first published in Hebrew in 1525 (D&M 5085). According to Darlow and Moule, this Bible includes
“the general title (1539) and list of books are placed before Hosea. The other books have separate titles, dated 1539 or 1540. Each part has its own register and pagination.”
The uniqueness of this Bible is that David Kimchi’s commentary had significant objections to Christianity.
