Imprint name from tome II title-page; main title-page includes woodcut printer's device with 'Palma Gvar', but not the full name. A Vulgate Latin Bible which according to Masch follows the editions of Robertus Stephanus (second octavo edition, 1545, q.v.); Masch says that the Bible text is from Stephanus' edition of 1557. This edition also resembles some Lyons editions, e.g. that published 'Apud Petrum Santandreanum', 1574. It includes chapter summaries, marginal references and variant readings, some explanatory notes. See A.G. Masch, Bibliotheca sacra, pt 2, v. 3, p. 319.

Scriptvræ', index of O.T. passages cited in the N.T., and prefaces by Jerome (including prefaces to individual books).
