Notes:

"R. Stephanus' second 8vo ed. the Zurich version (reprinted from the edition of 1543--see no. 6124) is here printed in parallel columns with the Vulgate. The margins contain notes which profess to be drawn from memoranda made by friends of the editor during the lectures of F. Vatablus (see no. 6117), but they appear to be coloured--to some extent at least--by the religious opinions of R. Stephanus himself. Some of these notes had already appeared, together with a selection of variant readings, in a quarto edition of the Pentateuch printed by R. Stephanus in 1541". Cf. Darlow & Moule.

Notes are incorporated in a framework around the texts.
