Hutter's Hexaglot Bible. Biblia Sacra,Ebraice, Chaldaice, Graece, Latine. Germanice Ed. + prefaced by Elias Hutter. Nuremberg 1599. Six columns, each in a different language. Unique hollow Hebrew letters. Berkowitz #171 3 versions of the 1587 title page have been noted. Large square "majuscule" type in both solid + hollow or outline letters (Hohltypen). Omitted letters of the stem are printed in a small character above the word. Hutter had a wide choice of pritned texts available to him, but his text does not agree exactly with any of his predecessors. However, Hutter's primary concern was not so much textual as didactic. He believed the Bible should be studied in its original language, + he wanted to ease the difficulties in the way of students. For this purpose he ingeniously employed 2 forms of type - the solid letter for the root or stem + a hollow letter for prefixes + suffixes. When a root letter did not appear in any word, it was printed in a small type above it.
