Torah Neviʼim u-Khetuvim] = Biblia hebraica accuratissima : notis hebraïcis et lemmatibus latinis illustrata
Joseph ben Abraham Athias (1634/34-1700) was a publisher and printer in Amsterdam. Born into a Marrano family in Spain or Portugal, he fled to Hamburg as a youth so he might openly practice his religion. In 1658 he began publishing books in Amsterdam, and his press soon became one of the leading ones there printing books in Hebrew, Dutch, and Latin, and some one million English Bibles for England and Scotland. The famous Hebrew Bible he produced, which became the standard for over two centuries, was prepared under the editorial supervision of Johannes Leusden, Professor of Hebrew at the University of Leyden. For his first edition in 1661 (3,000 copies), Athias was elected to the printer’s guild in Amsterdam, and for the improved edition of 1667 (dispayed here), the Dutch government presented him with a gold medal and chain. After printing the first few pages of this edition, Athias raised the number of copies from 4,500 to 5,000, and so had to print the first pages for the additional copies. This copy includes those newer pages, indentified by the omission of the maqqeph between the first two words of Gen. 8:18.
Fully revised 4th edition. Includes Apocrypha.
