and Benedictus from Lk I'"-*'. On the following editions of the Greek Psalms (Venice, 14S6 ; Aldus [without date, c. 1407] ; the Polyglot Psalters of Justiniani, Genua, 1516, and Potken, Cologne, 151S), see SU. hi. 7. 30-3:2. The first complete edition was the Compliite.nsinn Poh/qlot of Cardinal Ximenes (1514-17 ; the OT linishe^lOth July 1517), in wliicli the Latin Vulgate is placed between the Hebrew on the left and (5 on the right, 'tanqunni. duos hi.ic et inde latrones, medium autem Jesum.'

Its text — best signature c — rests chiefly on the MSS lent bj the Vaticiin, Ho 108, 248,* and a copy of the Venice MS Ho 68.
The Gomplutensian was repiinted (1) by Arias Montanus in the Antwerp Polyglot of Pluntin, 1569-72 ; (2) in Wolder's Polyplot, Hambury, 159C ; and (3) in the greatest of all, that of Michel le Jay, Pahs, 1645. On (1) and (3) see Nestle, Jntrod. lot
The second great Greek Bible was that of Aldus Manutius and his father-in-law Andreas Asolanus (1518, mense Februario), — signature a, — based, as the editor states, ' multis vetustissimis exemplari- bns collatis ' ; as far as is a.scertained as yet, on the Venice MSS 29, 68, 121.

This wag reprinted (1) 1529 by Joh. Loniccrus, Strassbcrg, in
the Lutheran order, with the addition of 4 Mac. [Ed. Pr.] and various readings from Ho 44 ; (2) 1645, at Basle, with Preface of Melanchthon, various readings and restoration of the common order in Proverbs and Sirach ; (3) 1650, at Basle ; (4) in the Heidelberg Polyglot 'in orticina Santandreana,' edited bv B. C. Bertram, 16SlliJ7 (new title-pages, l.i99, 1616); (5) 1597, by Franciscus Junius (du Jon ; others say Fr. Sylburg), with altera- tions from c, and useful notes, the basis of the Concordance of Trommius ; (6) 16S7, by Nic. Glykas, Venice.
The third and best edition was that printed at Rome, 1586 (most copies by pen, 1587 ; signature 6), 'auctoritate Sixti V. Pont. Max.,' ba.sed chiefly on the Codex Vatieanus Kar i^oxn" (1209 = HolI., now B), but making use of the preceding editions, o c 1526, 1545, 1572, and of the MSS Ho 16, 23, 51.
The prefatorj' matter is reprinted (partially) by Breitinger, Tischendorf, and others, and recently by Swet«, Introd. Useful are the ' Scholia ' at the end of most chapters from the other Greek versions, and the Church Fathers ; and an important com- plement is the Latin translation, published 1588, patched up by Flaminius Nobilius (and others) from the fragments of the Old Latin (vol. iii. 53'), with additional Notes to the Greek Text.
Reprints : (1) Paris, 1628, by Joh. Morinus, together with the Latin of Nobilius, as even then copies were rare ; (2) 1653, London, R. Daniel, 4* and 8" (and Cambridge) ; (3) 1657, in the London Polyglot of Brian Walton, with useful additions (colla- tions from A D O, Ho 60. 75), and valuable Prolegomena, the latter reprinted by Wrangham, Camb. 1828, in 2 vols. ; (4) 1665, Cambridge, with the line Preface of J. Pearson (see above) ; (5) 1683, Amsterd.f ;; (6) 1607, Lipsi» (prepared bv Johannes Frick) ; (7) 1709, Fronekeno, by Bos, source of many reprints ; (8) 1725. Amsterd., by Mill * (facsimile of cod.

J Editions omitting the scholia are marked *, omitting the Apocry-pha t ; no edition without the »^hoIia is to be recom- mended, because they supply to those who cannot afford to procure Field's Hexapta a minor edition of the latter.
Paris, Didot-Jager *, also Greek and Latin ; often ; (21) 184(j* Oxford *, 3 vols.; 1875, improved in 4 Mac.; the latter ifprint 14 the basis of the Concordance of Hatch-Redpath ; (22) 18.^0, LipsisB, Tischendorf*, 8 80, ^ 87, the la-st two reprints correctexi and enlarged by collations of E. Nestle ; (23) 1874-76, Londini, Bib/i'i Uexagldtta t*, ed. E. R. de Levante ; § (24) tht latest Polyglot advertised from Paris, to be edited by F. Vigouroux, printed by Didot, published by Roger & Chemovitz, has nol been seen by the present writer. From notices in the periodi- cals (Vigouroux, tUnieers, 4th Nov. 189S; F. Nau, Joum. Asiat., May-June 1899, 645 ff. ; Fonck, Zeilschri/t /iir Kath. Theol. xxiii. (1899) 174-lSO ; P. Th. Calmes, RB. 1900, 301, 302) it is apparent that it is only a mechanical reprint of the Greek column in the Puh.nil'itttnbibel ot .Stier and Theile (1847-66), th« text of which is based on unsound principles.
