Elias Hutter New Testament Polyglot

The Elias Hutter New Testament Polyglot

Nuremburg, Germany, 1599

 

Printed in Syriac, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish, English, and Danish.

 

A masterpiece of complex typology.

 

 

At first sight, I didn't realize that there were so many languages (mainly because I couldn't read the words), but after reading the description, my mind was just left with a 'Wow'.

 

And I find it interesting that it was published in Nuremberg, yet Nuremberg later became the spiritual center of Nazism..
