2 works in 1 volume, 4to. 1). 10 leaves. 184 pages. 32 pages. 2). 16 pages. Full calf, ornamented gilt spine (contemporary binding, rebacked). 1). An important annotated edition by Professor of Oriental languages, Pierre Vignal, of the famous Hebraic Grammar by French Orientalist Jean Cinq-Arbres, a professor of Syriac and Hebrew at the Collège de France. Vignal had this edition enlarged with both the Hebrew syntax by Gilbert Génébrard and the work by Roberto Bellarmino entitled "Excercitatio Grammatica in Psalmum XXXIIII Secundum Hebraeos" - the latter, with separate title page and pagination. This work was printed by Guillaume Le Bé II, son of Guillaume Le Bé I, a pupil of Robert Estienne and famous typographer, to whom we owe several Hebrew fonts. The works printed by Le Bé have often been considered as masterpieces of typography. 2). The Hebrew text of the Book of Ruth, enlarged with explanatory commentaries by orientalist Pierre Vignal, who added to it the text of a manuscript by the famous Rabbi from Narbonne, David Kimhi (1160-1235), "one of the most remarkable Jewish writers" (cf. Larousse). This work too was printed using Le Bé's beautiful Hebrew fonts.
