EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the exquisite title page of "Biblia Sacra Polyglotta" by Brian Walton, published in London in 1657. This engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, is part of a private collection and captures the essence of this remarkable polyglot Bible. At its center, we are greeted with a finely detailed engraved portrait of Brian Walton himself. A distinguished English priest and scholar, he dedicated his life to the study and interpretation of religious texts. The intricate workmanship by P. Lombert brings out his noble features and intellectual aura. Surrounding the portrait are columns adorned with sacred symbols that represent various languages featured within this extraordinary Bible: Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Samaritan, Ethiopic (Ge'ez), Persian (Farsi), and Arabic. These diverse languages reflect the comprehensive nature of this monumental publication. Printed under Thomas Roycroft's meticulous craftsmanship lies an invaluable treasure trove for scholars and theologians alike. Its pages hold profound wisdom spanning centuries – a testament to human spirituality across different cultures. This photograph transports us back in time to witness not only a beautifully designed title page but also pays homage to those who have dedicated their lives to understanding ancient scriptures. It serves as a reminder that knowledge knows no boundaries or language barriers when it comes to exploring our spiritual heritage.
