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
