Title in red and black with engraved vignette, title in Latin and Greek, preface in Latin, text in double-column in Greek. First printing in England of the Septuagint, the earliest translation of the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek. Edited by the Unitarian controversialist John Biddle (1615-1662), who was imprisoned by the Parliamentary Commissioners for his religious opinions. "Roger Daniel's version of the text of the Sixtine edition [was] prepared for the use of the scholars at Westminster School. This appeared in 1653 and was edited by the Socinian, John Biddle. Its publication may have owed something to the interest in the Septuagint generated by Codex Alexandrinus and the frustration produced by the failure of Young's attempts to edit it" (S. Mandelbrote, "English Scholarship and the Greek Text of the Old Testament", p. 87).
