Alphabetum Hebraicum
[Paris]: Ex officina Roberti Stephani Typographi Regij, 1563.
From the beginning of the sixteenth century, more and more Christian scholars showed increasing interest in the Hebrew language. In 1563, Robert Étienne the younger, who continued his father's business, published a new edition of the Alphabetum Hebraicum, a booklet on the Hebrew phonology. The copy on display was once in the possession of a Benedictine monastery of the Congregation of St Maur as the inscription around the printer's device shows.
