The Spanish antecedents of the Polyglot and the role of Montano in its production are evaluated before the focus is turned upon the Northern Scholars who prepared the Syriac edition. Their motivation is shown, particularly in the case of Guillaume Postel, to derive from both Christian kabbalah and an insistent eschatological timetable. The principles of Christian kabbalah found in the Polyglot are then shown to be characteristic also of Guy Lefevre de la Boderie's 1584 Paris edition of the Syriac New Testament dedicated to Henri III. This work completes the account of sixteenth century Syriac bibles begun in the companion volume Orientalism, Aramaic and Kabbalah in the Catholic Reformation which also appears with Brill.Studies in the history of Christian traditions ;v. 138.CabalaChurch history16th centuryAntwerp (Belgium)Church history16th centurySpainChurch history16th centuryCabala.Church history220.5/1Wilkinson Robert J(Robert John),1955-1636807MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812194203321The Kabbalistic scholars of the Antwerp Polyglot Bible4194620UNINA
