Breugelmans, 518. Willems 558 (Note). Graesse VI1, 249. – In the same year as the Octav print by Elzevier published Duodez edition. Rare linguistic writing by the French universal scholar Claudius Salmasius (1588-1653), who succeeded Scaliger at the University of Leiden. "Salmasius' last work on the nature of the Greek language of the New Testament before his dispute with Heinsius on the subject was formally settled on the initiative of the Curators of Leide University. Both Leiden professors agreed on the particular character of the New Testament language, but where Heinsius held it for a dialect of Hellenistic Jews who did not speak Hebrew or Aramaic, Salmasius argued that semiticisms were a result of translating Hebrew or Aramaic into Greek or an effect of the bilinguality of some Jews". – Title with subtle notes in ink. Weakly tanned in the upper margin, otherwise well preserved.
