Furthermore, Philip sent the Spanish theologian Benedito Arias Montano to Antwerp to superintend the scholars responsible for the different texts and commentaries. Plantin printed 1,213 copies of this monumental edition, on four different kinds of paper, and with prices varying from 70 to 200 guilders. 23 copies on special paper and on vellum were destined for the patron (Philip II) only. The publication of this Bible was to bring Plantin into severe financial difficulties, as the king's support did not meet the expectations raised. origineel: source: Biblia Polyglotta. - Antwerpen: Christoffel Plantijn, 1568-1572, titelblad available in: Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag 1700 A 1 ©description: Den Haag Koninklijke Bibliotheek ©reproduction: Den Haag Koninklijke Bibliotheek |
