Complete Bible – Spanish Translation – Amsterdam, 1646 – Printed for Descendants of Marranos
Biblia en lengua espanola, traduzida palabra por palabra de la verdad Hebrayca [complete Bible, translated to Spanish]. Amsterdam: Gillis Ioost, [1646?]. Spanish.
New edition of the Spanish translation of the Bible, based on the Amsterdam 1630 edition. Third edition of the Ferrara Bible.
Fine engraved title page, depicting Moses and Aaron, the Ark of the Covenant, Adam and Eve, and more (signed: Cornelis Muller).
Imprint on title page for 5606 [1846] – presumably a printing error; the correct date is 5406 [1646].
17th and 18th century Amsterdam was home to a large Sephardi community. Most of its members were descendants of Marranos who emigrated from Spain and Portugal a century after the expulsion. The present book was printed for the members of this community who had lost familiarity with the Hebrew language.
[18], 417, 420–605 pages. 35.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Marginal open tears to final leaves, repaired with tape. Title page and first gatherings loose. Early wood and leather binding, with clasp remnants. Wear and defects to binding. Lettered in gilt on both boards: "Society of Writers to The Signet".
Provenance: The Gross Family Collection, Tel Aviv, NHB.110.
