Description		    Pentateuch in Hebrew with Latin translation followed by the Five scrolls. Final p. carries Marco Antonio Giustiniani's printers mark. Giustiniani was a Christian printer of Hebrew books in Venice in the 16th century. His master printer Cornelius Adelkind printed a fine edition of the Babylonian Talmud (1546–51). Soon, this very active press faced a formidable competitor in the house of Bragadini which issued Maimonides' Mishneh Torah, with the notes of R. Meir Katzenellenbogen. Giustiniani then printed the full text of that code without R. Meir's notes. The mutual recriminations that the rivals engaged in at the Papal Court ultimately resulted in the confiscation and burning of all Hebrew books (1553).

Title: Hebraicus Pentateuchus latinus... adiectis insuper e rabinorum commentariis annotationibus pulchre et voces ambiguas et obscuriora quaeque elucidantibus. Item: Cantica Canticorum, Ruth, Threni, Ecclesiastes, Esther.
