POLYGLOT BIBLE – HUTTER, Elias (1553-1605), editor. Biblia Sacra Ebraice, Chaldaice, Graece, Latine, Germanice, Gallice . Nuremberg: [s.n.,] 1599. Elias Hutter’s Nuremberg Hexaglot Bible. This work, which extends only to the book of Ruth, was printed in six languages with four variations—the final language is either French, Italian, Low German, or Slovenian. Here it is Italian, although the title page indicates French—an error corrected by an early hand. This copy belonged to Paul von Fleischl-Marxow, whose brother Ernst was both a mentor and patient of Sigmund Freud. Darlow & Moule 1426. Folio (382 x 250mm). Engraved title page (without blank after preface; some leaves with repairs to margin; some leaves browned including title page which is also frayed; light worming throughout, some marginal spotting). Contemporary blindstamped pigskin (soiled and rubbed). Provenance : Paul von Fleischl-Marxow (1851-1923, member of the British Eugenics Society and brother of the famous patient of Sigmund Freud; gift inscription from his grandmother Louise Marx dated 1879) – The Valmadonna Library.
