      Robert Estienne, Paris:: Robert Estienne,, 1532.. Second, enlarged, edition.. Contemp. calf, gilt title on spine, covers with gilt center lozanges, rubbed and worn, hinges cracked, first two leaves loose, marginal fraying to t.p., some minor dampstains, all pages ruled in red.. Large Folio.. Printer's olive tree device on t.p. [Schreiber #6] repeated on 2 part-titles, fine initials. ...the public has been prepared as a result of these words for another edition (1532), which did in fact fulfil both these promises, being both a much more through work of scholarship and a much finer piece of printing." Armstrong, Robert Estienne.#11;"This was magnificently printed in a handsome folio, with brief notes or apostilles on the margin. Notwithstanding Robert's care in fortifying himself with the royal privledge, and with a licence from the University censors (who for theological works were at that time appointed by the Sorbonne), the divines renewed their warefare against him on the ground that he had dared to print the Scriptures at all. From the severest effects of this odium theologicum Robert was preserved through the personal influence of King Francis. He was obliged, however, to engage to print nothing further, presumably nothing of a doctrinal character, nisi cum bona eorum gratia." George H. Putnam, Book and Their Makers in the Middle Ages.#11;This edition with its corrections and supplementary matter was to be come the standard text for the Latin Vulgate Bible.
