Provenance: Lynd (armorial bookplate)The fourth, last, and most accurate of the large-scale Polyglots of the 16th and 17th centuries, the London Polyglot was a tour-de-force of typography and layout employing Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, Samaritan, and Ethiopic fonts to print versions in 8 languages in addition to the Vulgate. While being less elegant than its predecessors, is the most accurate and with the addition of Persian and Ethiopic to the usual Samaritan, Hebrew, Greek, Syriac, Arabic, Chaldaean and Latin. The editor was Brian Walton, made Bishop of Chester by Charles II in 1660, who called upon for assistance the considerable talents of, inter alios, James Ussher, Robert Sanderson, Henry Hammond, Edward Pococke, John Greaves and Edmund Castell.
