Biblia Sacra iuxta vulgata[m] quam dicunt editionem : a mendis quibus innumeris partim scribarum incuria, partim sciolorum audacia scatebat, summa cura paríque fide repurgata / atque ad priscorum probatissimorúmque exemplariorum normam, adhibita interdum fontium autoritate Ioannis Benedicti Parisiensis theologi industria restituta, annorúmque à mundo creato ad Christum vsque natum supputatione illustrata. 

Adiecta est in fine Hebraicarum, Graecarum, caeterarúmque peregrinarum vocum cum illarum varia à nostra prolatione interpretatio ; quin & sententiarum insignium copiosum iuxtà ac accuratè collectum indicem suppegimus ; duo postremò indices etiamnum accessêre, quorum prior quae in scholiis notatu dignissima occurrêre, alter verò insignium locorum nomina colligit ; quae legenti signa passim occurrent, epistola nuncupatoria 2. pag. manifestabit.
