Bible, Polyglot: Biblia sacra polyglotta, 1657 vols 1,2 and 4, edited by Brian Walton, three plans of Solomon's Temple and a double-page map of Jerusalem engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar Provenance: Kings College London stamp "this was the most accurate and best-equipped of the great polyglots" (Darlow & Moule). The printing of the work began in 1653, two presses being kept employed, and between 1654 and 1657 all six volumes appeared. Nine languages are represented in the work (including Persian and Ethiopic which had not been included in the three earlier great Polyglots), although no single book of the Bible appears in more than eight versions. "The polyglot Bible was regarded at the time of its appearance as a monument to the intellectual capacity of an English nation previously eclipsed by some of its European brethren. It was also a successful commercial speculation. Though not the first book printed by subscription in England it was one of the earliest and most ambitious" (DNB).
