Description
The fourth edition of the Ferrara Bible was published in Amsterdam in 1646. The frontispiece features a beautiful engraving by Cornelius Muller, depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, their expulsion from Paradise, and the figures of Moses and Aaron, among others. On the reverse of the title page is the Preface of the 1553 edition, followed by the ordering of the Haphtorah, a Table of the Order of Books, Chapters, etc., and the Catalog of Judges, etc., as in the first edition of this bible.Â
After the Catalog of the Judges there is a table of the division of the Bible into Paraschae, according to the Hebrews.Â
This is a reissue of the third edition of the Ferrara Bible, printed in 1630 and revised and corrected by Manasseh ben Israel. The translations of the third and fourth editions of the Ferrara Bible are attributed to the famous Portuguese typographer and professor of the Portuguese Hebrew community in Amsterdam Menasseh Ben Israel.Â
However, typographically, these editions are very different, mainly because the third edition of 1630 has a simple title page (which is identical to that of the 1611 edition, illustrated in the center with the Ark of the Covenant) and the fourth edition of 1647 be adorned with a magnificent engraved frontispiece illustrated with biblical scenes by Cornelius Muller.Â
The famous Biblia de Ferrara or Biblia dos Sepharditas (Jews of Iberian origin) was translated from Hebrew into Ladino (dialect of Castilian used by the Sephardim) and printed in Ferrara in 1553 by the famous Portuguese printer Abrão Usque (Christian name Duarte Pinhel) brother of Samuel Usque (author of the work "Consolation to the Tribulations of Israel") at the expense of Yom Tob Atias (Christian name Geronimo de Vargas Hespanhol).
The publication of the various editions was a work carried out by Jews (first generation New Christians) of Portuguese and Castilian origin who, upon being expelled from the Iberian Peninsula by the Inquisition, settled first in Italy and then in the Netherlands, already abroad.

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value:
Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability.
Nowadays it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors, and these are therefore more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
- Original colors: the colors were applied around the time the map was issued.
- Original o/l colors: only the borders were colored at the time of publication.
- Colored: the colors were applied recently or at the end of the 20th century ("attractive colors" may also be used).
