The Latest Addition To My Bookshelf

My most recent acquisition. It is a first edition Hebrew Tanakh from 1720 and was the first attempt at a critical edition. (The critical notes are in Latin.) The editor - Johann Heinrich Michaelis - used five manuscripts and 19 printed editions besides consulting others, and adopted as the basis of his text the Berlin edition of 1699 (by D. E. Jablonski). He was assisted by his nephew C. B. Michaelis, and J. J. Rambach.
