Hugonis Cardinalis Ordinis Praedicatorum; ad recognitionem jussu Sixti V. Pont. Max. Bibliis adhibitam recensitae, atque emendatae: primum a Francisco Luca Theologo, & Decano Audomaropolitano, postea variis locis expurgatae, ac locupletatae cura, & studio V. D. Huberti Phalesii, Ordinis Sancti Benedicti. Editio novissima prae ceteris correctior. Venetiis: Apud Nicolaum Pezzana, 1754. [12], 1028 pp.: il.; 300 mm. Verbal concordance of the Bible in the Latin Vulgate version, traditionally attributed to the Dominican cardinal Hugh of Saint-Cher (c. 1190–1263), under whose direction the friars of the convent of Saint-Jacques, in Paris, compiled around 1230 the first alphabetical concordance of the Latin biblical text, an essential instrument for preaching and studying Scripture. The text printed here is the result of a revision by Francisco Lucas de Bruges, theologian and dean of Saint-Omer, who adapted it to the Sixtus Clementine Vulgate, later expurgated and expanded by the Benedictine Hubert Phalèse. In this form it went through numerous editions in the 17th and 18th centuries, including the successive Venetian printings by Nicolò Pezzana, of which this is one of the last. Title page printed in red and black, with engraved vignette; text in three columns. Reference work of wide ecclesiastical use. Curious. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
