Second edition (first published in 1546) of the popular Hebrew grammar book, dedicated to the Venetian Jew Paolo Paradisi. Jean Cinqarbres (Latin name: Johannes Quinquarboreus, 1514-1587) was a French grammarian of Hebrew origins and was considered one of the foremost linguists of the 16th century, famous for his extensive knowledge of Hebrew grammar and syntax. He occupied the chair of Hebrew and Syriac languages at the College de France until his death.

The distinctive printer's woodcut device on the title page (Renouard, P. Marques 828, p.264-265) first belonging to Conrad Nòbar, then passed to Jaques Bogard and later to Martin Le Jeune, but this size not shown under this bibliographical entry.
