4 volumes:1) Pentateuch [5 Books of Moses]. 5 Megillot.2) Former Prophets3) Later Prophets4) Hagiography/ Writings[Hence, containing all the 24 Books of the Hebrew Bible]Bomberg's fifth quarto edition, following the third quarto edition. The colophon at the end of the fourth volume reads: "Nidpas revi'ith". Thus, Adel-Kind identifies this as the Bomberg's fourth Bible edition. However, the title page of the first volume [here missing] reads "nidpas hamishith", i.e. the fifth edition. As indicated by Steinschneider, this contradiction is reconciled by the fact that Bomberg printed the Pentateuch separately from the other books. Haberman also alludes to this, stating that this Bible issued by Bomberg is indeed the fifth edition, however he utilized portions left from the fourth edition.Resembles the second quarto edition closely in its appearance. The text, however, is a fusion between that of Felix Pratensis (Darlow and Moule # 5083) and that of Jacob b. Chayim (Darlow and Moule #5085) This edition had great popularity among the divines of the Reformation.4 volumes. 4to. Bound in contemporary rubbed calf, with the original metal clasps.
