Froben had for many years as associates the famous
O. Egc scholar Erasmus + the noted artist Holbeim. His Bibles
were highly esteemed for their accuracy. They were the
1st editions in which references to parallel passages were
given throughout the volume. Froben's Latin Bibles were based
on the Fontibus ex Graccis deitions.
Since J Amenbach had started printing in Basel, that
town had always been stronglyunder Italian influence.
J Froben had worked in Amenbach's press, therefore
it was only natural that he should continue the work
