metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The Rare Book collection of the Russian Academy of Science Library (Biblioteka Akademii
  Nauk, BAN) includes a number of editions in Hebrew language printed between 1500s and
  1800s. The article focuses on the editions of Biblical text produced in Italy, Spain, France,
  Germany, Holland and England during the era of European history when religious divisions
  caused by Reformation encouraged Christians to seek legitimation of their confessional
  choice by studying and reproducing Hebrew Scripture. The Hebrew text which the Christians
  published became a polemical weapon employed by different groups against their opponents
  and against the Jews as their common Other. Nevertheless, an interest in the original Biblical
  text not only fostered the development of textual criticism and Biblical scholarship but also
  stimulated the new scholarly inter-faith and interconfessional cooperaton. BAN collection
  holds copies of Daniel Bomberg’s Mikraot Gedolot (1547) and Biur ha-Torah (1544), Robert
  Estienne’s Bible (1539–1542), several polyglot Biblies (Polyglotta Complutensis, Antwerp
  polyglot, London polyglot) and other multilingual editions with translations into Latin and
  other European languages. Some of these books were part of prominent private collections,
  such as king Sigismundus II Augustus’ library of Vilno, or the home library of bishop of Tver’
  Theophylactus Lopatinsky. The article examines the history and influence of certain editions
  and studies the BAN copies with respect to their provenance, their use by the readers and their
  significance in the history of reading and education.
