Description
4to. (16) pp., 944 cols., (152) pp. With armorial woodcut to title page. Contemp. vellum. First edition. "A Syriac-Latin lexicon of Classical and New Testament Syriac, the second such after that of Masius [1571]" (Smitskamp). This surprisingly copious dictionary was edited by Giovanni Battista Ferrari (1584-1655), who not only taught Hebrew at the Collegium Romanum for nearly three decades, but is also known as a botanist of some repute, in whose honour the Iris species "Ferraria" is named. The title woodcut shows the arms of Cardinal Alessandro Orsini, to whom Ferrari dedicated his effort. - Some brownstaining (occasionally more pronounced). - BM-STC 336. Aboussouan 331. De Backer/Sommervogel III, 677, 4. Smitskamp 189. Zaunmüller 372. Vater/Jülg 387. Ebert 7483.
