Gabriel Bruno's
_Tabula alphabetica historiarum_; fol. i-cccccxx, text; 30
unnumbered leaves _Index rerum et sententiarum_; 40 unnumbered
leaves _Interpretationes nominum Hebraicorum_, etc. Very small
gothic letter, double columns, 58 lines to the column. Six- to
eight-line woodcut initials of the several books, the unicorns of
Kerver's device appearing in that of Gen. i. Le Long-Masch iii, 2,
149.
The octavo Latin Bibles of the Kerver press, fifteen editions of which
appeared between 1508 and 1560, were closely patterned after Froben's
edition, Basel, 1591 (the first Bible printed in octavo form), both as
regards the text, based on the "Fontibus ex Graecis" editions, 1478 ff.,
and the introductory and supplementary matter of various origin
accompanying it. The earliest of these supplements, _Interpretationes
nominum Hebraicorum_, an etymological index of Hebrew proper names,
appeared first in the Bible of Sweynheym and Pannartz, Rome, 1471, and
was reprinted without change in most of the editions previous to 1515.
