(Darlow & Moule).OCLC, 71455644; Berghman, Impressions Elzeviriennes, 9; Copinger, Elzevier Press, 4682; Darlow & Moule, 4710; Rahir, Les Elzevier, 1636; Willems, Elzevier, 1513.The book has been dismantled and each leaf has been mounted on a much larger leaf (275x200 mm), on which a central window has been cut out. This, together with the numerous blank leaves bound at the beginning, at the end and in between the leaves with the printed text, was done to allow more room for extensive annotation. The volume, which is bound in 19th-century half leather with lettering piece on spine and blue edges (quite worn and rubbed), is in fact throughout profusely annotated (in the margins, in the printed text and in the bound-in blank leaves) by at least two contemporary or slightly later hands (one extremely clear and elegant, the other in a more hastily written cursive). The notes are in Latin with references in Greek and occasionally also in Hebrew. The first preliminary blank leaves contain lists of authors, mostly commentators of the Bible like Erasmus, Calvin, Pellicanus, Melanchthon, Bucer, and others. On the title page is the onwership entry ?M. Laurentius Maneken?, who is presumably identifiable with a student of the Hamburg gymnasium in 1701 (W. Sillem, Die Matrikel des Akademischen Gymnasiums in Hamburg 1613-1883, Hamburg, 1891, p. 75). The most recent notes can probably be attributed to his hand. On the front pastedown is the bookplate in Hebrew of the historian Shlomo Simonsohn (1923-2019). Internally very well preserved.
