The Portuguese version of the Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament , known as the ”Royaumont Bible, ” was first published in Paris by Pierre Le Petit in 1670. Royaumont is a pseudonym for Nicolas Fontaine (1625–1709), secretary to Le Maistre de Sacy, to whom the work was long attributed. It was widely disseminated in Europe from the late 17th century onwards. The Portuguese translation is by Luís Paulino da Silva e Azevedo (Porto, c. 1690; 1755), knight of the Order of Christ and secretary of the Mesa do Desembargo do Paço, and it underwent numerous re-editions until the 19th century. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate ¶ Inocêncio, v. 5, p. 312
