"The first edition of a Spanish Bible printed on Spanish soil" (Darlow & Moule 8488). A remarkable scholarly and bibliophilic achievement. 

"The first Castilian of the Vulgate Bible. The first edition is magnificent, and its correction honors the Valencian presses" (Palau 28948)

"The Bible translated by Scio constitutes and fundamental milestone of the Castilian language" (Ausejo)

This piece of Spanish and Catholic history is a true gem. It belonged to the Sutro Library many year and somehow wound up in the collection of a Berkeley book collector. Now it can be yours!
