1250 - Cardinal Hugo de Santo Caro introduced the system of chapters for all the books of the Bible - the 1st Cardinal of the Dominican order. Regarded by his contemporaries as the "oracle" of Bible commentators, he produced an exhaustive revision of the text of the Bible, the 1st Biblical Concordance, + separate commenataries on each book of the Old + New Testaments. The 1st ed of the entire gloss was undertaken by J. Amerbach for Koberger

In 1791 Isaac Collins in N.J. who had in 1788 published a New Testament, brought out an ed. of the Bible noted for its scrupulous printing accuracy. Only 1 broken letters + one wrong punctuation mark crept in; his careful reading of the proofs 11 tiems paid off. - On Sept. 12, 1792, 2 years after Trenton became the state capital, the New-Jersey State Gazette was launched by Mathias Day in silent parnership with George F. Hopkins.

Hebrew Pentateuch, with Targum + Saadiah's See #301 Arabic translation in alternate verses. Yemen - early 18th C. 9x12 7/8." folio. Manuscript written in black ink on heavy paper. 31-33 lines. The text is with vowels + accents; the Arabic unvocalized. The foliaated pages are written in an 18th C. Yemenite square (semi) script. The paper has chain + laid lines. Contains the text of Exodus 25: 33 - 26: 14 from the weekly protion Terumah (headline), including the masonetic texts with vocalization + accent signs, Taryusn Onkelos (the standard Aramic translation) with Babylonian superlinear vocalization, + Saadia Gaon's JudeoArabic paraphrase, alternating. The very beginning contains the final portion of the Judeo-Arabic version of Exodus 25: 32. The use of Babylonian superlinear vocalization, evidently 1st noted in the 12th C, continued in Yemen for centuries after other communities that employed it had abandoned it in favor of the predominant system used in my masoratic text.

- The oldest Yemenite manuscripts are those of the Bible. The Pentateuch was teh most popular part of the Yemenite Bible (called the Tadj or "crown"), and it was often prepared by the scribe in an independent Bible.

- The Jews of Yemen must have been in close touch with Babylonia, since they reckoned time according to the Seleucidan era. All the Hebrew manuscipts of Yemen, moreover show the superlinear, or Babylonian, system of punctuation.

The most ancient + venerable portion of the Breviary is the Psalter. In the Middle Ages the psalms were usually recited throughout the week according to several different patterns. As a result the psalms in the Breviaries may be arranged in their biblical = numerical order, or in their liturgical order. When arranged in the later way they form a ferial Psalter. Psalm 1 - beatus vir qui non abiitin consilio impiorum.... Psalm 2 - Psaltmus David quare fremuerunt gentes et populi meditati sunt inania .... Psalm 4 - in finem in carminibus psalmus David cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus institae meae in tribulatione dilatasti mihi misserere mei ex exaudi orationem meam.... Psalm 95 Venite, exultemus.
