BIBLES.

The first Polyglot Bible is that of Cardinal Ximenes, printed in 1515.

It contains the Hebrew text, the Chaldaic Paraphrase, the Greek

Septuagint, and the ancient Latin edition. The second is the Royal

Bible, Anvers, 1572: the third that of Le Jay, Paris, 1645: the fourth

that of England, London, 1657, edited by Walton. There are many since,

but of less celebrity.
