A reprint of this translation was published at Amster- dim in the year 1611, also in folio, then in 1630, with the only change that the stars of the first edition are omitted in many places. According to the Catalogue des Livres Imprimes de la. Bibliofheque du Roi de France, i, 14, No. 201, this edition was edited by Manasseh ben-Israel, as can also be seen from some copies, where we read, A loor y gloria del Dio fiie reformada por Metmsseh ben-Israel (a. 15. de Sebath 1630).

Another somewhat revised and altered edition is the Biblia en lengua Espannola. Traduzida palabra por palabra de la verdad Hebrayca, por muy excelentes Le- trados. Vista e examinada por el officio da la Inquisicion. Con Privilegio del Illustrissimo Sennor Duque de Fer- rara, y aora de nuevo corregida en casa di Joseph Athias, y por su ordcn impressa (En Amsterdam, Anno 5421 [1661], large 8vo, 1325 pp.). This edition is indeed an improvement upon the former; many corrections are made, obsolete expressions are removed and more in- telligil)le ones intro(hiced; besides, it is more convenient for use tlian tlie former editions in folio. The verses are numbered in the margin.

(c) El Testamento Nuevo de Nuestro Senor Salvador Jesu Christo nueva e fielmento traduzido del Original Griego en Romance Castellano. En Venecia, en casa de Juan (Philadclpho. M.D.LVI. 8vo). The anonymous translator fullows the original (ireek; here and there worcls arc added for the better understanding.

(J) A Spanish Ti-anslution of the Propihets Isaiah and

Jeremiah (Thessalonica, 1569), by Joseph ben-Isaac ben-Joseph Jabetz. From the lengthy title (which we do not give in full) we see that the editor intended to translate the whole of the Old Test., and that he com- menced with the later pi-ophets. But only Isaiah and Jeremiah were translated, as can be seen from Wolf (Bibl. Ileb. iv, 137), who had a copy of this translation, which mostly follows that of Ferrara.

(e) La Biblia, que es, los Sacros Libros del Viejo y Nue- vo Testamento, Trasladada en Espannol. D'^ilbx "i3T DPIi'P D'^p'^ La Palabra del Dios nosti-o permanece para siempre, Isa. xl. M.D.LXIX. On the last page we read "Anno del Sennor M.D.LXIX. en Septembre," large 4to. No name of the translator and no place of publica- tion is given. It was probably published at Basle by Thomas Guarinus, which is not only evident from the signs of that printer found in the title-page, but also from a written postscript in the copy of this translation preserved in the library of the Basle Universit}''. From this notice we also see that Cassiodoro de Reyna, of Se- ville, was the translator of this Bible, and this is also cor- roborated by another copy of this translation found in the library at Frankfort -on -the -Main (Clement, Biblioth. Curieuse, iii, 453). The translation is preceded by 30 pages containing the principles which guided the trans- lator— that, although he held the Vulgate in high esteem, yet he could not always follow it, but perused as many translations as he could find, especially that of Pagninus, which he followed for the most part. The Apocryphal books of the Old Test, are also translated : sometimes additions are inserted in the text and put in brackets for a better understanding, and short glosses are found in the margin. The New Test, of this translation was also republished by Hutter in his Polyglot (1599). An- other edition with some slight changes was published by Ricardo del Campo (1596, 8vo), and an entirely re- vised edition of Reyna's translation is La Biblia : que es, los Sac)-os Libros del Viejo y Nuevo Testamento ; se- gunda edicion, revista y conferida con los Textos Hebreos y Griegos, y eon diversas translaciones, per Cypriano de Valera. En Amsterdam, en casa de Loren<;o Jacobi (1602, fol.). The title is followed by two prefaces, one of Valera, the other of Reyna. In the first preface the editor tells us that of Rej-na's edition 2600 copies were printed, and all were sold. This was the reason for a new revision and edition. Valera's edition is also pub- lished by the British and Foreign Bible Society. The New Test, of Valera's translation was also published separately in the year 1625, with the title. El Nuevo Tes- tamento, que es los Escriptos Evangelicos y Apostolicos, revisto y confWido con el Texto Griego por Cypriano de Valera : en Amsterdam (1625, 8vo).

(/") llumas de Parasioth y Aftha.roth, traduzido pa- lah-a por palabra de la verdad Hebraica en Espannhol (1627). This is Manasseh ben-Israel's translation of the Pentateuch, of which a second enlarged and revised edi- tion was published in 1655.

{()) C^blbn aip Las A labangas de Santidad. Tra- ducion de los Psalmos de David. . . , Por el Haham Yah- acob Yehuda, Leon Hebreo. . . . En Amsterdam (1671). This is Judah Leon's translation of the Psalms, with notes and introductions.

{h) Franco Serrano's translation of the Pentateuch, or Los cinco Libros de la sac7-a Ley, interpretados en Lengua Espannola. ... En Amsterdam, en casa de Mosseh ben- Dias (1695, 4to). The translator was Joseph Franco Serrano, teacher of Hebrew at the school of the Spanish Jews in Amsterdam. The translation is made with great diligence and care.
