What it is
The Bible in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin in parallel columns, with grammars and a Hebrew dictionary, produced at a Spanish university by Jewish converts and Greek scholars.
Why it lasted
The first printed polyglot Bible and a monument of Renaissance scholarship, delayed past Erasmus's edition by waiting for papal permission.
