“Moschopuli de Ratione Examinandæ Orationis Libellus, Græce.” 4to. This was a grammatical work for the instruction of youth, now first printed. Impressions of “Juvenal, Persius, Valerius Maximus, Lucian, and Terence.” A fifth impression of the complete “Biblia Latina,” for the fourth impression of which sale had evidently been found notwithstanding the denunciations of the Church authorities. Robert had for five years been making preparation for this edition by the collection both of printed texts and of MSS. For the notes, use had been made of the material of Erasmus, Gualtherus, and particularly of Vatablus, the learned Professor of Hebrew in the _Collége Royal_. The citations from the latter had been collected by diligent students who had attended the Professor’s lectures. The captious divines, finding the notes sanctioned by such an authority, did not at first venture to cavil at this edition. Later, however, they threatened Robert with various pains and penalties because he had omitted to procure for the work their license. They contended that the title of “Printer to the King” did not exempt him from a compliance with the regulations prescribed by the University. This claim on the part of the University, that the approval of its own representatives must be secured even for works issued under the direct authority of the Crown, was throughout the following century a frequent cause of contention. It appears never to have been formally adjusted. The charge was made at the time that the _scholia_ or _annotationes_ complained of were really the work not of Vatablus, but of Robert himself. Such an accusation does credit to the publisher’s scholarship if not to his truthfulness, but there is no evidence to support it. 1546. “Biblia Hebræa,” 16mo, or _forma minima_, issued in eight volumes. Le Long speaks of the correctness and extreme beauty of this edition.[11] A sixth edition of the Latin Bible, with a text more pure and more accurate than had been secured in any of the previous issues. This was the second of Robert’s Latin Bibles which escaped censure. 1546. The first and only publication from his press in Italian, which is ranked as one of the most interesting literary curiosities bearing his imprint, “La Coltivatione di Luigi Alamanni, al Christianissimo Re Francesco primo, con privilegi.” 4to. This is the first edition of what Greswell calls the georgical poem of Alamanni. The character is a bold italic, and the volume is a beautiful piece of book-making. The author was a Florentine poet, banished from his native country, who had found refuge at the Court of Francis. He is one of the very few contemporary writers who secured the advantage of Robert’s imprint.
