EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking title page, dated 1551, is from an Italian Bible known as "La Bibbia laquale in se contiene i Sacrosanti Libri, del Vecchio & Nuouo Testamento." The image at the top of the page depicts St. Jerome, the patron saint of scholars and translators, in the desert setting where he is believed to have translated the Vulgate Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The woodcut illustration adds a visual element to the title page, enhancing the sacred nature of the text. The title itself is written in ornate, cursive script and is surrounded by intricate decorative elements. The text explains that the Bible has been translated from the original Hebrew and Greek into the Tuscan language, and that it includes the concordances and summaries of each chapter, as well as two tables. One table indicates the locations and names mentioned in the Bible, while the other explains the topics covered in each book. The Bible is described as a new and useful resource for all Christians, providing them with a clearer understanding of the sacred text. The title page reflects the importance of the Bible as a symbol of faith and knowledge during the Renaissance period. The intricate design and use of woodcut illustrations were common in printed books of the time, demonstrating the high value placed on the written word and the beauty of the printed page. This title page serves as a testament to the significance of the Bible as a cultural and historical artifact, as well as a source of spiritual guidance and inspiration.
