A scholarly edition of the complete Hebrew Bible, edited by Maius and Burcklin, the third and last of a series of the Frankfurt editions called by Masch 'Biblia Clodiana'. According to Darlow and Moule (5143) 'The text is mainly based on the Athias-Leusden edition of 1667,66 (No. 5134)'.

Beautiful full-page copper plate engraving to the frontispiece is by Joseph von Montalegre, who was born in Prague and worked in Frankfurt am Main and Nurenberg in the first half of the 18th century. The engraving depicts Moses, Aaron and King David with a harp kneeling in front of the Ark of the Covenant. In the sky, at the top of the engraving, God's name is suggested by the three 'Yod' letters in the glowing triangle (a different spelling of god name in Hebrew appears underneath, together with a reference to Ezekiel 1:28, which explains the mythical creatures depicted in the cloud). Maius's name is also mentioned on the frontispiece, on the curtain at the centre, under the title.

The magnificent early 18th century binding was most likely custom-made for a wealthy patron, bearing his armorial crest on the upper panel.

Third edition; one volume bound in two; 8vo (21.5 x 16 cm); text in Hebrew with Latin printed marginalia; contemporary morocco binding with gilt raised bands, twin labels and fine ornamental gilt tooling to spine and boards, gilt gauffred edges, a fine copy; vol. I - [13], 2-333 ll; vol. II - [1], 335-686, [2] ll.
